I was about to purchase the Cactus v4 Wireless system and then saw this post. Almost made me delete my Shopping Cart at Gadget Infinity but then I realized this is an old post on the older model Cactus’.
I’ve heard mixed reviews on the v4, only way to get to the bottom of it, is to take the plunge. So here I go.

AH CRAP! Really……I just bought one, then stumbled across your blog…..talk about bad luck. Hopefully I won’t have as much trouble, don’t have the cash for the PWs, and living in BFE doesn’t make the renting solution possible….love your blog…keep up the good work……HJG

Mine suck too… They fire okay when I have just one, but if I start adding flashes they start to go haywire. They are not dependable and having to fiddle with them while working with a model is embarrassing. Im saving up for the new alien bees Cybersync triggers. The aren’t anywhere near as expensive as pocket wizards but have gotten much praise in reviews.

Ha! Fear not, my camera does not live in auto mode, my film SLR is pre auto focus, So I usually use my cameras in manual modes. Saying that, some times I am just plain lazy. Will see what I can do about that virtual hat!

@djh — bah humbug.

@Ian — wow, we are so nsync. except for the auto mode. shameful. NB. there are other auto modes other than straight auto, give P a go. i wouldn’t mind a virtual hat to add to my collection.

@The Captain — i usually don’t take orders from cupcakes, but i’ll see what i can do.

Well I don’t know anything about flash triggers, but somewhat randomly I spent about, erm… 20 seconds taking a photo of my new running shoes yesterday. My process was somewhat inferior to your own, basically consisting of turning my D50 to auto mode, popping the flash, pointing and shooting! I feel I let my poor camera down using it in auto mode :(

Anyway, I tip my virtual hat to you, for your efforts in taking on the cold, cold ground in order to get that shot!
