What TTL flash for Fuji system that works off camera should I buy?

[AurumMidas]

Guys, I really need your help once more.

I need to buy a TTL flash to use off camera (I own an X-T10). Does somebody recommend the "Nissin i40" with "Vello-Off Camera Cord for Canon"? Will this work? Or is it better to buy the "Canon OC-E3 Off Camera Shoe Cord"?

I am also considering other flashes, like Metz or Bolt. I don't want to spend much money (I will use the flash for family pictures only).

What TTL flash for fuji system that works off camera do you recommend?

Thank you for your attention!

The Canon or Nikon off camera cords should work fine. The pin that triggers the flash is the same on all of them. The flash will only work in manual mode. The i40 will work great TTL on the camera. If you are going to be strictly off camera, you might consider Yongnuo. Wireless trigger and flash are less than the i40. This article has a review: http://improvephotography.com/34962/best-flash-for-fuji/

After reading the article, I bought the combo, and it's great. Both for about $130 from Amazon.

The only off body TTL system I know for Fuji is RoboSHOOT.

 

We had one of the company's owner on the forum a while ago and from what I could gather, it seems to be working as advertised but it is a rather steep price. At least for me, I can live with off body flash with manual settings.

 

Youngnuo has very good wireless triggers for that and I can use either the Nissin i40 or my old SB600 flash.

 

Now, there was some talks about the next Nission i60 that could be radio controlled but you would need at least 2 of them or something.

I expect it won't take long before the Radio-Controlled Nissin i60A with the Nissin Air 1 Commander for Fuji gets released. With this you'll get full TTL control over max 3 remotely controlled flash units.

 

Godox seems also working at a Fuji implementation of their AD360-II with the X1F TTL transmitter.

 

I have no actual release dates for both products, maybe both products get released at then Photokina. Both look promising to me so let's wait and see.

How about Cactus stuff. Look at this link. http://lovegroveshop.com/cactus-flash/.

I think this is what I'm going to try. And this http://flashhavoc.com/cactus-v6-ii-transceivers-with-hss/

Neither Cactus nor the Nissin i40 have wireless TTL capabilities, at least the Fuji versions (they have wireless TTL for other systems). Metz doesn't have it neither. Nissin's Air Commander is going to support Fuji soon, but you will be forced to get the oversized i60 or Di700. Or wait until Nissin decides to sell the Air Receiver for Fuji and then you will be able to attach the i40. At least the Guy at Photokina told me that a lot of Fuji-users requested that option and that he will forward that request fo Nissin.

 

Of course, you can buy the totally oversized Fuji EF-X500. That flash is almost bigger than the X-T1/2 itself! My Nissin i40 is powerfull enough for all kind of situations.

I use x3 Cactus RF-60's & x1 Cactus V6 transceiver. No, they don't do TTL but I've never relied on that. 

These fire much more reliably than my Canon 580 speedlites did using Pock Wizards. 

They're pretty much all manual which, to me, isn't a bad thing. I like have that control.

Are you using the Cactus V6 II ?
