Vivitar 285 HV and SIGMA DG ST 530 Wireless Trigger Test

[milanzeremski]

I got same problem.Triggers work only with sigma ef-530 st (for nikon only!!)

Is this 530 for canon or nikon?

VIVITAR 285 has NON standard SYNC port - and thus CANNOT use STANDARD sync cables suppled with PW or CACTUS 4/5 !! Does ANYONE know the adapter MODEL number for connecting these sync cables to the V285 ?

My PT04 won't work with Sigma DG ST 530. Did you get any different versions or something?

How you geht the Sigma firing with the Wireless Trigger? My one doesn´t flash with any trigger.

@karbon100 are you sure? I'am using PT04 version 3

[karbon100]

@farisbmx I use the cactus v4 trigger, and also tested it with elinchrom. They doesn´t fire.

best regards

@karbon100 i read it somewhere that the cactus does not work with sigma. Thats why i bought the PT04 version 3. Anyway you can try with Vivitar i think it should work. I saw a few videos that is using cactus and vivitar.
