To cut recycle times and battery consumption I went to dual flashes on each light stand. Here is one of my light stands setup with Pocket Wizard TT5s for Canon ETTL but by using regular Pocket Wizard receivers the lights work with Pentax but not PTTL. These worked well in locations where electric power was unavailable like old barns and such.

Certainly, it helps to cut down recharge time and power usage for each exposure and its fine to go this route if you already have several AF-540 flashes. But a much “cleaner” alternative is to go on full route to Godox. Their flashes are reasonably priced…. even lower than the price of one Cactus V6II. Plus, their flashes work with their own radio system, so no additional receiver/transceiver is needed. Just one XPro and few Godox flashes and you are good to go. If you have another system in addition to Pentax, you would just need another transciever (one) and thats all. All Godox flashes will work for your other system as well (with TTL). Recharge time on even the cheaper Godox flashes is three-four times faster than AF-540FGZ.
