Help with Sony A7ii, Please
in V6 Problems
I bought four Cactus V6s, one to use as TX on top of a Sony A7ii, three to use on Nikon SB-910s as RX.
The V6s talk to each other, and fire the flash with the TEST button, but the flash will not fire when I press the A7ii shutter button. I have tried the A7ii in both WIRELESS and FILL FLASH modes. Is the problem the weird A7ii "multi" hot shoe, or something else?

Can you make an SB-910 fire when its mounted directly on the camera (using manual mode for the flash)? If not, it is a problem with the A7II configuration.
If the SB-910 fires then the V6 should work as well. If it still does not work then perhaps try to pull it back very slightly after having it pushed into the hot-shoe in order to align the centre pin with the respective contact in the hot-shoe. On some camera models this appears to be necessary.
I replied you on the other thread.
