Lithium battery speedlight... interesting.... How are you guys triggering it? Any Nikon users?
And does it do TTL or otherwise remotely adjust power levels manually like the Flex system does w/ Nikon?
It triggers with their own trigger (FT-16S) through a little receiver that plugs into the side of the speedlight (no additional batteries!). My setup right now is kind of clunky, but it enables me to use on camera flash. If anyone has better ideas, let me know.
Body 1: Longer lens, YN622, FT-16 (optional)
Body 2: Wider lens, YN622, SB-900
2x 850 speedlights off-camera
Elsewhere: YN-622 + FT-16 (usually on one of the stands)
The YN units on camera trigger the off-camera YN unit that fires the 850 speedlights. I would need 2 FT-16 units anyway to fire on both bodies, but then that doesn't allow an on-camera flash. The FT-16 that I list as optional can either go on-camera or in a pocket/bag, and is used merely to control flash power.
(as I finished writing this, I realize I might not need the trigger combo off-camera, but I'm not sure about that quite yet, since triggering a YN unit that's on a camera from the other could be weird)
As for TTL, they do offer a TTL version now, the v860N (or Neewer TT860N or Flashpoint Li-on TTL), but I have no experience with it. I don't think you can use them for TTL off-camera without a TTL trigger like any other flash though, if that's what you're wondering (unlike the canon RT or Mitros+).

From what I gather the Godox system doesn't support HSS off camera is this correct?
Sort of. Out of the box with the standard FT-16s trigger/receiver set it doesnt support HSS. It is a HSS compatible flash however, so if you use another HSS trigger (Yongnuo 622 or Pocketwizard) under the trigger, it becomes HSS compatible, kind of weird but it works.
