Able to support numerous brands and types of speedlights and flashes, the Cactus Wireless Flash Transceiver V6 IIs for Sonyis a versatile and capable flash trigger that offers added functionality to make remote flash work easier. This model is able to support Sony flash systems with ease and is equipped with Sony's Multi Interface Shoe for direct compatibility with their latest cameras and flashes. It uses 2.4 GHz radio communication to trigger other units from up to 328' away. The main advantage of the V6 IIs is high-speed sync, of which two modes are offered. A normal setting uses a protocol depending on the camera system involved whereas the Power Sync can boost the flash for moments when Normal HSS is not powerful enough.

Users will be able to set up flashes in one of sixteen channels or three groups. Also, it has a Multi-Master setting that allows multiple shooters to trigger the same flashes, useful for demonstrations or events with a second shooter. By using flash profiles to register specific speedlights, the V6 IIs gains a few capabilities, such as an Absolute Power Mode, which calculates the equivalent power settings between multiple flashes. Additionally, it has a TTL pass-through hot shoe on the top and offers a 3.5mm sync terminal for plugging into strobes and other lights.

Q: 1. Does the Cactus V6 II allow for 1/250 sync with manual OCF? I am not asking about HSS.

A: To clarify, will these V6 II's allow 1/250 sync using a Sony a7xxxx and an OCF?

Q: 2. Will this directly control a Sony F43M Flash (w/o a transceiver on the flash)? Or will I need a transceiver for both the camera and flash?

A: You would need two of the V6 II units in order to trigger your flash. One unit would act as the transmitter on top of your camera while the other fits on the bottom of your flash as a receiver.

Q: 3. I shoot with a Sony A7II & Sony Flash, if I have 2 of these transceivers one for the hot shoe & one for the flash will I be able to use the Cactus Wireless Remote to activate the shutter that plugs into the side of the camera? I want to overexpose windows & sliders by overexposing with a flash for window pulls in Ps. I shoot some large homes on the water with lots of windows & ocean views & need a wireless remote so I don't have to keep going back to the camera & set a 5 sec timer then run to the next window or slider.

A: I have exact same use-case, but with an A77Ii. You can set the camera mounted unit into 'relay' mode, and use it to trip shutter release via the remote unit. No separate additional remote needed. I just have 3 of these triggers.

Q: 4. I have a sony a6000 and a Metz 44 Af-1 flash. Will the Cactus v6 IIs work with the Metz 44AF-1?

A: As long as the Metz 44 AF-1 you have is for Sony Multi-Interface shoe cameras you should be fine.

Q: 5. Is this a rebranded Godox?

A: No, Cactus is a brand of its own.

Q: 6. Obviously this will work with Sony. My question is do I need two (2) of these to make the system work? 1 for the camera body (Sony a6300) and one for the flash (Sony F43M)? Also, will I need any additional chords for anything?

A: You need two units - either one can be a transmitter or receiver, as there is a switch on each unit. No extra cords needed if you have the Mi shoe on the flash... I'm using three of these - one on-camera, and two on my flashes.

Q: 7. Is this for Sony A Mount or E mount or both?

A: This transceiver works with any Sony A mount DSLR or Sony E mount mirrorless camera with the Multi-Interface Shoe. The top shoe accepts all Sony flashes with the Multi-Interface Shoe as well.
