cactus v4 wireless flash triggers

A pre-release version of the new Cactus V4 wireless flash triggers arrived today. Cactus is using a photo of mine in the booklet that accompanies the new triggers, and they sent me a complimentary set as a gift. I'm going to be testing these over the next few days to see how much of an improvement they are over the rather clunky V2 triggers.

 

Right off the bat, I'm liking these already. The build quality is much better. There are 16 channels, all adjustable via external dip switches (the V2's switches were inside the battery compartment). The receiver uses AAA batteries as opposed to hard-to-find CR2s and has a much better hotshoe attachment. And they just look nicer in general. We'll see how well they perform in a shoot.

 

See the photo in the booklet here.
