V6 II & SB910 Zoom Problem

pricopec

Hello! I have a problem with controlling zoom flash for nikon SB910 flash. The zoom does not react at all to the command change made from cactus V6II connected on my nikon 810 camera.

Please help me to solve the problem with a guideline step by step.

Just to inform you i upgraded the firmware for triggers to the latest version, i tried in multiple ways but it didn't work and i need your support.

Thank you and looking forward for your answer!

Hey there @pricopec

Is your SB910 set to TTL mode?

Did you switch on the flash first, then switch on the V6 II to RX mode?
It will auto-detect the flash system only when you follow this step.

Hope this helps!

Hi @pricopec

Switched from Nikon to Fuji and now also using cactus V6 II triggers. The V6 II didn't triggered my SB910 flash until I adjusted the settings of the flash, especially the zoom settings (Mzoom off and FX/DX to FX).

Thereafter it worked without problems.

Hope that helps!

Thanks for the tips, @Christoph !

Just saw your posts confirming that you are able to use XT2 and SB910 along with Cactus V6 II successfully.

Also, are you able to control the flash power and zoom of SB910 remotely using Cactus V6 II and Fuji XT2 ?

Cheers,

Hi Santosh,

I don't see why not?

Technically speaking, you can control the off-camera SB-910 mounted on Cactus V6 II in RX mode from a V6 II in TX mode, even if it is not mounted on any camera. 

You must mount it on a compatible camera system only to be able to sync the flash with the image.

Apart from power you can also remote control the zoom of the off-camera flash.

Cheers!
