I got the opportunity to again beta test a product from Hong Kong company Cactus Imaging. When I first heard I was going to be testing the flash way back in September I was extremely excited in seeing what cactus came up with this time. They did not disappoint. I had a list of features in my head that was a must have and they hit almost all of them, and included some I did not even think about. Overview: No this is not a TTL flash, however it is a flash that is cross vendor complaint. The flash itself is a single pin however you can control all the power and zoom settings from the master flash to all the slave flashes. This is important for non Nikon and Canon users who are left out of a large majority of new technology. One thing about cactus has been that they try and stay as compatible as they can across vendors. This is one of the principles that Cactus has held over the years. One exciting thing about the RF60 is that it is the first piece to a new system. I can now share images that include the future Cactus v6. The V6 will tie everything together and allow you to bring your other ttl and non ttl flashes and studio strobes into the new system. Power adjustment with the V6 will be compatible with the RF60 and different brand ttl flashes.
