Gadget Infinity Cactus V4 Remote Trigger Review

Just a quick review of my new set of remote triggers for off camera flash. I purchased them from MPEX.COM and got them in just a few days. I would have ordered them through Gadget Infinity, but since they are based in Japan or China, it would take a week or two. I will have an actual working review of them up soon that will show them in action while we are out shooting. Keep in mind that I'm not bashing Pocket Wizards by any means, I just see these and the Paul C Buff Cyber Sync's a more economical option for people just getting into off camera lighting. Eventually, we'll probably have a set of Pocket Wizards, but for now, these will do just fine.

My wife and I have been into photography for years as amateurs, but have recently been leaning to the more commercial or "pro" side as we've been getting requests to do various shoots for other people. It's going to be an interesting journey, but fun nonetheless.
Sorry about the constant clicking in the background and my constant "Umm"'s, our beagle decided it was play time and kept running in and out of the kitchen, which wound up being very distracting.

@shoeboxphotographyau Hard to do when you live in a townhouse without a fenced in yard.

what are the cords for that come with the trigger for? and is the flash you have better than the nikon sb-600 flash?

[tcabner]

@skinydude Just sync cords for various flash devices that you can connect it to. The SB-24s are ok, but the SB-600's are more recent and better all around.

what speed does it work up to

I have a canon t2i, will these work on my gear? Thank you!

I use these with SB-24's also. What settings do you keep the flashes on? I'm having a little trouble getting them working correctly.

Hey, we share some of the same hobbies & interests. I am debating on weather or not I should get the V4's.  Thanks for the info.
