Comapatibility cactus and Olympus em-1

alan6666 · April 2016

Hi Guys, I have a Olympus em-1, and a jinbei hd600v on the way to me, I am looking for a compatabile trigger system to fire the Jinbei hss up to 1/8000, it does come with a trigger how ever it does not do hss, this would be using it in fully manual also.

Many thanks for any info.

Hello Alan,

Natively it is not possible.

But check out this trick, also done on an OM-D E-M5. You will need to mount an Olympus TTL flash on V6 TX's hot shoe.

It may also work with your Jinbei strobe setup.

Thank you and keep us posted!

With the upcoming V6 Mk II in a few months, will the setup be identical except you wouldn't need to mount the Olympus TTL flash on the V6 TX hot shoe?

i.e. Camera with V6 (Mark II) mounted in TX mode --> HSS signal --> V6 (Mark II) in RX mode with HSS capable flash mounted

@japadog, in a nutshell, yes.
