External flash, rear curtain sync

[ajurjans]

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.
