Improving upon its predecessor, the RF60x Wireless Flash from Cactus implements a new cooling mode, the ability to quick recharge at full power in just 1.9 seconds, an AF assist light in sync with other Cactus devices, and automatic wireless high-speed sync support in slave mode. The RF60x main selling point is still a built-in radio transceiver with a 328' range that is fully compatible with the Cactus V6 system and high-powered with a guide number of 183' at ISO 100 and 105mm. The flash is fully manual and has a zoom range of 24-105mm that can be expanded to 18mm with the built-in wide-angle diffuser panel. The unit also has the ability to act as either a wireless slave or master and can have its setting changed remotely via another unit or a V6 radio trigger.
The RF60x offers numerous other features for convenience, including the ability to tilt up 90° and rotate 270°. The power can be adjusted from 1/1 to 1/128 in 1/3 EV steps and it will recycle in about 0.1-1.9 seconds, depending on power and batteries. Specialized shooting modes are available, including strobe and high speed sync sympathy mode. Additionally, it runs on four AA batteries and comes with both a carrying case and stand.

If the v6iis is used in conjunction with the rf60x flash and both are mounted on a sony a7 iii body, will the ttl mode work?
You will have to over right the hot shoe on the flash and trigger , most likely not , but if you use a bracket and lift the flash of the hot shoe , and use the radio trigger then yes

question
Will this Flash pair with a Sony: FA-WRC1M Commander?
The Cactus RF60x Wireless Flash is not directly compatible for use with the Sony FA-WRC1M Wireless Radio Commander. The 2.4 GHz radio transceiver in the Cactus RF60x Wireless Flash is only compatible with the Cactus V6 IIs, V6 II, V6, V5, and the Laser Trigger LV5 wireless flash transceivers. In order to use the Cactus RF60x Wireless Flash with the Sony FA-WRC1M Wireless Radio Commander, you would have to purchase the Sony FA-WRR1 Wireless Radio Receiver to connect to the bottom of the Cactus flash.

question
Does it have TTL and HSS when used with a V6 II? TTL and HSS at the same time?Info is hard to find since the last update. Thanks
No TTL, manual power settings only. The RF60x does do HSS on camera, not sure if it can do it off camera when controlled by V611. I have the V6 remote. In general, I found V6 a lot less reliable than using RF60 and RF60x flash units as the master and slave. I've been much better off just using a few of the flashes. Hopefully V611 is more reliable than V6.

question
Will this unit high speed sync with the fuji XT-1?
You need a Cactus V6II as transmitter on XT-1 and RF60X in S (slave) mode to use high speed sync (HSS) in off camera flash.
