NickJS - no probs, I was asking pretty much the same questions a short while ago here - think the v4s for 31 are a good buy
I think it does fire on full power everytime sadly, its not too bad though especially for the £5 I paid haha!JAK wrote:
Yeah they do have a manual mode but "helpfully" no control of the output in this mode - so the flash will fire on full power, only allowing adjustment of exposure with iso/aperture - would love to be proved wrong though as have an old Cobra sitting in a cupboard unused for this reason9aul wrote:

It does! See page 7 of the manual.I think you may find that the Cobra isnt the best choice though for off camera flash which AFAIK doesn't offer full manual control of its output

I totally missed 9auls post, I just found a plac that sells the Cactus v4 for £31 so I might order those then.
So I would only need one wireless reciever and I can use a slave for when I do get more flashes, I understand now !
Thanks again!

Cheers ,
Jak, would this work like a flash slave?

As I want to avoid using the onboard flash if possible.

Hey guys,
I just got myself a cheap flash to use off camera and I was wondering how I go about doing this, can I use wireless triggers or would it be better to use a wired one?
Any recommendations would be great .

83. Don’t look suspicious when taking photos- blend in with the environment.

Just got back about an hour ago from the first one I attended and it was great , very friendly people and I learnt how to use off camera flash with a soft box for portraits - there was a bar downstairs too (which is always handy :wink
