Each V6 II can save up to 10 custom flash profiles from the Cactus Profile Editor.
Note: The Profile Editor supports profile sharing via codes. When customizing a flash
profile, the editor will generate a code representing the changed parameters. You
can share this code to friends, or simply enter the code received from others in the
SHARE CODE column to generate a new customized profile in a second.
12. Flash Triggering
To command the flash units in different groups to fire:
1. Set the V6 II transceivers to the correct mode (transmitter to “TX”, receiver to
“RX”). This will automatically power on the transceivers (see Section 9.4).
2. Set both TX and RX to the same channel (see Section 9.5).
3. Assign RX unit(s) to A, B, C, or D group and activate the group(s) on the TX (see
Section 9.6).
4. Connect the V6 II RX to portable flashes or studio strobes.
5. On the TX, press completely. The status LED of both TX and RX should blink
in green simultaneously. The portable flashes or studio strobes will f ire at the
same time.
6. Test fire a particular group by pressing the group button and completely
and simultaneously.
7. Attach the TX to the camera’s hot shoe. If your camera does not have a hot shoe,
connect the TX to the camera using an optional PC sync cable (CA-200).
8. Press the camera’s shutter release button. The flashes on the RXs will fire
wirelessly and in sync.
Tips: The V6 II transceiver can trigger portable flashes with or without remote power
control. If you wish to wirelessly trigger the slave flashes without controlling their
power levels, choose the <OTHER> flash system in the <FLASH PROFILE> menu.
13. Remote Manual Power Control
Apart from flash triggering, the V6 II can also command the manual power of your
flash. On each RX, choose the appropriate flash profile for each flash to be
connected. The V6 II TX will then be able to command the flash to f ire from 1/128 to
