Hello, fellow x-shoters.

I am preparing for a project that would involve a bit of external flash triggering at the rear curtain sync.

Are my options limited to ttl flash, set to ttl mode, rear curtain sync turned on and then the flash set to manual mode and used as optical master, or are there any radio triggers which could pretend to be flashguns and trigger the external unit with the second curtain?

As far as I am aware, at this time your only radio trigger option is the Cactus V6 / V6 II, which allow you to manually set a flash delay, allowing you to fake rear curtain sync. For example, by setting a flash delay of 1.8 seconds and setting your  shutter speed to 2 seconds, the flash should trigger just before the rear curtain starts to close.

Exactly, don't know of any other solutions either. I have the Cactus ones and they work just fine.

Blue Jays are tricky to get good photos like you have, they tend to fly away as soon as the lens cap comes off 😀.

      I own the Fuji X-T1 and X-H1. I own several Fuji lenses but I tend to use 3rd party vintage manual glass which I find quite enjoyable to use. I'm testing a photo here taken from my Flickr account that showcases the Tokina 100-300mm Zoom lens with 1.4 extender.

      CANNOT BACKUP OR RESTORE X-T4 SETTINGS WITH FUJI X ACQUIRE

      Forgot to mention another thing. Mine does not work if I plug the USB cord into a USB hub. It only works if I plug the cord into one of the USB ports on my computer itself (an iMac). This surprises me because I think there's a hub built into the computer itself, which is how the computer has multiple USB ports in the first place. I think it was somebody here that suggested I try that -- sorry I don't remember who!

      On another forum someone suggested spraying some electrical contact cleaner into the wheel but the Fuji tech said that could risk frying the rest of the cameras electrical so I haven't tried that.
