X-T2 + Cactus HSS

[pcmofo]

Has anyone had luck with the X-T2 working above 1/250th with the new Cactus V6 triggers and Cactus v60 flashes? I had it working with my X-T1 but as soon as I long-press for the "Forced HSS" the flash doesn't fire.

OK so I did more testing as I have both the X-T1 and X-T2 currently. I can place the Cactus V6II trigger on the X-T1, long press the scroll wheel and it enters "Forced HSS" and it works with the Cactus V60 flashes with no issues at very high shutter speeds. The X-T2 does not work at any speed if I use "Forced HSS" mode on the trigger. 

 

Crossing my fingers and hoping for a firmware update to support the new Fuji HSS/TTL, I'm guessing after Fuji releases the updated HSS/TTL support for the X-T1.

HI, there is quite a lot about compatibility or lack of it on the Cactus web site http://www.cactus-image.com/v6ii.html hope this can answer your query?

[pcmofo]

Thanks for the link looks like they updated their info and the answer is NO  

 

Camera(s) tested that does not support high-speed sync modes on the Cactus V6 II:

1. - Fujifilm X-E2 (Updated: July 18, 2016)

1. - Fujifilm X100T (Updated: September 7, 2016)

1. - Fujifilm X-T2 (Updated: September 9, 2016)

Maybe it would be worth while to inquire with Cactus to ask if they plan on implementing via Firmware the ability to do HSS on the XT2.  Others (like me) would be interested to hear what you learn as it is a product I have on my wish list.

Thanks

I asked them (via Twitter) let's hope they respond. Half the reason I bought Cactus is because it works with Fuji and so many other brands and they actually push out firmware updates! I can only assume they need to analyze the new TTL modes on the X-T2 and then hopefully have an update.

Good news, it looks like it is coming soon! http://www.cactus-image.com/community/discussion/comment/2851/#Comment_2851

Thank you, pcmofo!

Glad I saw this as I was getting ready to order a Cactus II trigger to use with my X-T2.  Guess I will hold off for a little but and see what develops

I bought (2x) Cactus VII and the RF60 thinking I can do HSS . Hopefully it will be ready soon. Thanks for the info pcmofo.

Cactus V6 II does supports Fujifilm X-T2 and the new Fujifilm GFX for HSS!!

[duhbiyung]

will this trigger work with profoto B1 or B2? Does the HSS work as well?

[photomedic4321]

I must be doing something wrong then because for the life of me I cannot get HSS to work with my cactus V6II and RF60!

[DerKnipser]

As far as I know HSS is not working today. Next firmware for V6II should support EX500, Metz M400 and HSS.

HSS works for me (X-T2+V6II+RF60), have you updated firmware on both the V6II and the RF60?

[basz]

try update to Fw 007, it work for me

Very interesting question. Hope to hear an answer.

Cactus new firmware XTTL for Fuji is the most stable version so far. I tested it with X-T1 & X-T2. Not every flashes would work.
