Cactus X-TTL Cross-Brand TTL Firmware Upgrade for FUJIFILM Cameras Now Available

Back on March 24, Cactus announced that they are working on a free firmware upgrade on the Cactus V6 IIs and Cactus V6 II transceivers to support cross-brand wireless TTL on Fujifilm cameras.

They also launched a dedicated website, and told us to stay tuned for updates, so I visited that special Cactus page a few times every day for almost 3 months now and finally something happened :)

Today, Cactus finally updated their X-TTL website. Here is what they say:

“The X-TTL firmware gives photographers an unprecedented flexibility. The need for matching flashes with the same camera system for on and off-camera TTL flash photography is over – TTL without boundaries.“

The Firmware update to support Fujifilm cameras is available now, along with support for Sony and Sigma. More brands will follow.

“The first wave of firmware releases will be for Fujifilm, Sony and Sigma. Other camera systems, i.e. Pentax, Canon, Nikon, Olympus and Panasonic, will follow one by one as we complete system integration on the V6 II.”
