Cactus Wireless Flash RF60X

Cactus Wireless Flash RF60X
The Wireless Flash RF60X is a portable flash with a built-in wireless transceiver that supports X-TTL with Cactus V6 II / V6 IIs wireless flash transceiver, high-speed sync / FP mode,* AF-assist and an exclusive Cooling Mode.

Built-in wireless commander and slave

The Cactus RF60X is a 2.4GHz radio-based wireless portable flash

with a built-in transceiver that runs on 16 channels. It operates in

three modes, Local for on-camera operation, Master and Slave modes for

off-camera. To act as a commander, set an RF60X to Master and it can

trigger an unlimited number of RF60X set in Slave mode. The effective

distance between the RF60X Master and RF60X Slave is up to 100m (328

feet).

Automatic wireless HSS support

When triggered by a Cactus V6 II / V6 IIs, the RF60X supports

High-speed sync (HSS) / Focal Plane (FP) mode, typically found on a TTL

flash. Controlled from the V6 II / V6 IIs transmitter, the user can

select between Normal HSS, the typical longer pulsing flash with lower

power outputs; or Power Sync, which gives you a boost in flash power.

Quick recharge time

After firing at full power the flash can recycle as quickly as 1.9 seconds.

AF-assist light

Unlike most other portable flash in the market, the AF-assist

Light on the RF60X can also function as an off-camera flash in Slave

mode. The Cactus V6 II turns on the AF-assist Light automatically which

will illuminate your subject and provide extra light to help the camera

lens focus. This is especially useful as the flash is usually placed

closer distances to the subject than the camera.

Cooling mode

By intelligently regulating the recycle time the RF60X runs cool

all the time. This industry exclusive feature allows the flash to

sustain a steady performance even after consecutive full power flashes.

You can now shoot without the restriction of an overheat cut-off.

Remote control of power and zoom levels

The

power levels of the RF60X set in Slave mode can be adjusted from 1/128

to 1/1 full power in steps of 0.3EV. Zoom level can also be controlled

from a wide 24mm zoom to 105mm. With remote power and zoom control, you

can place the RF60X units in hard-to-reach places and control its power

and zoom level wirelessly.

Group control of up to four groups with configurable Group Alias

In

a typical lighting setup, the ability to adjust, activate and

deactivate groups of lights is vital in creating the desired lighting

effect. The RF60X can be configured into four distinct groups. Power

output can be adjusted in individual group or in all groups at the same

time for fast adjustments. To streamline the shooting experience, user

can rename each group to: KEY, FILL, SPOT, RIM, HAIR, LEFT, RIGHT, BACK

and FRONT.

Optical Slave with delay feature

The

RF60X has a built-in optical sensor. The optical sensor captures

pre-flash signals that are being emitted earlier than the flash sync. By

setting the pre-flash optical trigger and the delay timer, you can set

the exact time for the flash to start firing. This allows the RF60X to

do not only first-curtain and second-curtain sync (also referred as

front and rear curtain), but to fire at any given point of the image.

Multi-flash feature

In

Multi mode, a rapid series of flashes is fired to capture multiple

images of a moving subject in a single frame. This feature is available

in all three flash modes so its users can create the desired effects

with both on and off camera flash.

Compatible with other Cactus devices

Flash

power and zoom level on RF60X Slave units can be controlled by an RF60X

Master, RF60 Master, as well as Cactus V6, V6 II, and V6 IIs Flash

Transceiver. Cactus V5 also supports basic flash triggering on the RF60X

but does not support power and zoom level control on the RF60X.

Notes on compatibility:

• Cactus RF60X is compatible with the Panasonic Lumix DMC-GX8.

  However, due to special timing requirements by the camera, when

  triggered by a Cactus V6 II, the RF60 only supports HSS up to 1/1,000s.

  (Updated: September 1, 2016);

• High-speed sync is supported when RF60X is triggered by a Cactus V6 II or V6 IIs on a compatible camera.
• Camera(s) tested that does not support high-speed sync modes when the RF60 is triggered by the Cactus V6 II:
