I've 2ce used my cactus V4 (non-specific) transmitter to fire the reciever (not 'my' reciever) of a set of studio lights at a camera club traning night... Just had to find the right channel...

Since my last post I've actually done away with the padded insert from my bag... My lenses are still in padded pouches (made by my sister) but the K5 and attached lens (usually the FA35 f2) just go straight in the bag... Without the foam insert the bag now looks a LOT less like a camera bag and as I never throw the bag down (always place it down fairly gently) I'm really not worried about the contents... Plus, it's also a lot more comfortable when in transit as it now naturally moulds to the shape of my hip, feeling more secure and comfortable as I walk...

Today I bought 6 bottles of 'Blue Moon - American Craft Beer' and £60 worth of Canvas, Acrylics and brushes....

5 Blue Moon's later I have filled my first ever canvas - Off to bed to let it dry... Will have another look tomorrow and see how well I've not done!!

Hi Dave... The V4's do not... Not sure about the V5's but Should be mentioned in the 'ClassA' review on the US forum....

I don't remember any charges for postage and there certainly wasn't any customs levy... All very painless!



If you can get your AF360 working in wireless then a YN560 can also be run off camera in slave mode... (I dropped one of my V4 recievers and it broke, so when using 2 flashes off camera I trigger the Vivitar285hv and the YN560 fires in slave)

Hi Dave... Radio triggers... My vote goes on Cactus V5's (I have V4's) from Gadget Infinity...
I'd even consider getting a duo-pack of triggers and a second flash (cheap, Chinese & manual only - YN560) so you can spice things up a little more...

Yep, rubber gloves for scrubbing and a conservative amount of alcohol... Never thought of using a pencil rubber... I just gloved up and rubbed...

Yep... That sounds very wrong...
