6. Circular light with nearly zero undesirable hot spot, which speedlight head or something similar cannot do.

@Fujica, yes indeed it only "seems" over priced.

Certainly it would be great if we could price-match some of our competitors, but the price difference was a result of what's "under the hood"...

@TakeCiro we are indeed using industry standard 18650 cells in the battery pack. We also considered these 3300 - 3600mAh cells, despite they have more juice, their output current is too low and...

There's no need to worry! Backers of our Kickstarter project is just like purchasing directly from the Cactus Store (https://store.cactus-image.com/) meaning their purchase is protected. One thing...

We are sorry to hear about your experience. We try to improve every aspects of our products. If you have any suggestions please do not hesitate to contact us. Thank you!

Thanks for pointing that out.

Indeed that's a typo and we have already contacted the editor to revise that. When using a Canon camera only Canon flash supports TTL. For non-Canon system flashes,...

At the moment we still still tuning the color temperature. We will have the numbers before launching the RQ250 in the summer. Please stay tuned to the latest news. Thank you!

Thank you for your positive response on the RQ250! :)

It does fit on your palm nicely. :)

But it is also a bare-bulb flash, with a magnets modifier system, modelling light, AF-assist, and supports HSS and TTL for Canon, Fujifilm, Nikon, Olympus,...

Thank you for your interests!

Life is full of oxymoron. Cactus may just be one of them.

Cheers!

Color consistency is one of our priorities.

It really depends on your genre of photography, if you shoot for events firing over 200 shots, you will need the consistency or you will hate...

Yes, it's a xenon flash tube and it can be easily replaced by customer.

Correct, modelling light (and AF-assist) is LED.

Thank you for expressing your concerns. :)

Glad you like it as we do! :)

Yes, the tube is custom-design. Whether it is costing a fortune is TBC. :)

Yes, you can swap batteries on the job. The battery is removable. Full charge in 2 hours.

Price of the battery is TBA. ...

As for your reference to Profoto, the RQ250 is not a copy from Profoto models, despite the it may have a...

Thank you for your continuous support in Cactus. We will try out best in keeping the RQ250 at a reasonable price point yet not sacrificing power, color consistency, flash duration, built quality,...

We will take that as a compliment. :-) Thank you!

FYI we are in the process of tuning color consistency at the moment. This is one of our top priority, besides an evenly light distribution and efficient power delivery via the flash tube +...

Better is yet to come. :)
