[The sync voltage limit on a Cactus V5 is 300V][1]. As long as your flash doesn't go over that, you should be fine. In addition, any dRebels that are newer than the 300D have a sync volt limit of 250V on the hotshoe, [according to Chuck Westfall][2], the technical rep for Canon, answering a question in a 2007 tech tips article for the digitaljournalist.org: > **I recently posted a question regarding the safe maximum sync voltage for an EOS 30D on http://www.openphotographyforums.com/. A reply led > me to an article called Tech Tips answering a number of Canon-related > FAQ.
