  If your Cactus Camera Accessories slave flash isn't firing, there might be a few reasons: * **Channel Mismatch:** Ensure the slave flash is set to the same channel as the master flash. * **Group Mismatch:** Verify that the group assigned to the slave flash is activated on the master flash. * **Radio Interference:** Try setting all units to another channel or changing the setup location due to potential interference from nearby equipment. * **Proximity:** Keep the master and slave flashes at least 20cm apart. * **Range:** Ensure the flashes are within 100m (328ft) of each other, keeping in mind that radio interference can reduce this range.
