The battery terminal on the transmitter can make intermittent contact. They have a metal terminal with a small depression that forms a socket which holds the tip of the battery terminal. This socket was formed too deep and the battery terminal could not reach to the bottom of the socket and make contact. It was perhaps a thousandth of an inch gap and the unit misfired most of the time. I decided to take it apart and reshaped the terminal slightly and it worked fine thereafter.
how do you set the flash, to Manuel or TTL ? thanks

Don'T Waste money, CACTUS Wireless Flash Trigger V2s u cant get the SYNC speed needed to do anything creative. Box says 1000/ but canon only 200 fail!
wtf
Ts = shutter speed
Tf = flash speed
Tr = transmission time from V2 transmitter to receiver
Tfv2 = responding time of the flash after V2 is in use
Tfv2 = Tf - Tr, Therefore, Tr = 1/500s Tfv2 = Tf - Tr = 1/500s Therefore Ts = 2 x Tfv2 = 1/125s only.
So don't waste your money, buy the pocket wizard

it's cheap and if u dont need the speed it's fine. spending 150 buck on a a pocket wizard is not practical when u doing cheap photography.

Only problem is I live in Eastern Europe and most eBayers refuse to ship to where I'm at.

They ship anywhere if you buy that type (PT-01, PT-04, PT-04 Cactus). It ships from Hong Kong.
