Triggers...Cactus or other... - 11-22-2011, 10:37 AM

Hi all...thinking of picking up some triggers and I think I'm down to the Cactus V5's or the Yongnuo 602's.

You guys have anything bad to say about either one?

Thanks.

I use the Cactus V4s and have been very happy with them. Never had a misfire, but my range demands are not very high typically. I also keep rechargables in them charged up.

I'm using the V5s now, had the Y602s before. The Cactus triggers are more reliable and more versatile than the Yongnuos. The only misfires I had with the V5 happened when they were supposed to trigger a speed light in sleep mode.
They are not perfect but they are at least somehow affordable and reliable at the same time.

I use the 602's and have been happy with them. Haven't tried the Cactus V5's so can't speak on them.
