heh i guess mine were sitting in my mailbox for the last few days. i opted for the 15 day shipping and forgot to check for them!
anyways they work great, no misfires so far! only gripe is the hot shoe on one of my receivers is a bit tight resulting in more effort than i'd like putting my 580ex on it.
all in all im stoked  |

Yup, Flashwaves are good. The new Pro line just came out too.

an update on the V4 tirggers. The range is about 60 yards or so out in the open field. Sync Speed is 1/200 with direct flash, HOWEVER I use mine on a 580ex2, then slave a 430ex off the cactus'ed 580ex and the sync speed drops to 1/100. Whenever i turn on the master/slave on the 580ex2, the sync drops to 1/100, when i turn it off its back up at 1/200. hmmmmmm

Man.. I'm having so much trouble with the V4.
It works perfectly with my Sigma. (practically 10/10). However, it would only work 7/10 with my Vivitar 285hv. I'm thinking it's the connectivity between the receiver and the flash because I can see the V4 blinks when i trigger it. (On both of my receivers)
Any suggestions?

yeah you're most likely getting a bad connect at the hot shoe. Happened with my V2's as well...

So, the vivitar sync cord wouldn't work on the v4 (since v4 only accepts 3.5mm plug instead of the male sync cord). If i purchase a hot shoe adapter, do you think it will connect better?

It'll only work if the hot shoe adapter has a good connection with the hot shoe of the vivitar. If you have the original vivitar off shoe cord that connects the the hot shoe of your camera, you can attach the v4 onto that.

Its a known problem, its just the 5D's and even then its only some of them, like a certain run from the factory. I found out mine do it as well on my last shoot =( time for me to upgrade

Just the 5D's as far as I have heard, something about not enough shielding from radio waves

Since we're on the topic of flash triggers, anyone here use Radio Poppers JrX kits?
I'm looking at it as an alternative to getting PWs.
To J____________, do the cactus v4 triggers work well with the 5d mkII and canon flashes (550 and 580ex)?
