High speed sync at 1/1000 s. Does anyone dealed with this issue?(Nikon D7000 with SB-910 and cactus)
Dear Cactus community,
I have a set of cactus V6 for use with Nikon Brand (D7000 camera and SB-910). In the user manual, is said that can support sync speed up to 1/1000 second (subject to camera´s sync speed limitations, page 8 from the manual).
Unfortunately, I couldn´t find futher information about it in the user manual and here in the forum. I tried configure the D7000, in its menu, to FP 320, to accommodate HSS. But I had obtained the traditional black curtain, in the images, when I started to use 1/250 second and above. Does anyone knows how to deal with this issue? Any suggestion or procedure? The product is great. I´m trying just use a higher shutter speed as the product offers this possibility.
Thank you a lot guys!! Waiting reply!

In any event, higher shutter speeds require a pre-sync signal. You can obtain the latter in one of two ways:
I don't know if the on-board flash of the D7000 is able to "wirelessly" control HSS flashes at shutter speeds higher than the sync speed. If so, you don't even need an additional flash.
Have a look at this "How to: Cactus RF60 Radio HSS" article by Brian Hursey. He writes about Canon, but the same principles should apply to Nikon.
I hope this helps.
