Hi All,
I haven't posted here before on this forum. I saw something that interested me and thought it might interest you. For sometime, I have been using Yongnuo radio transceivers with my Nikon and Metz flashes. I absolutely love them. They have never misfired and both manual and TTL work great. What I have wanted for awhile was to get a flash with a radio transceiver built in (Like the Canon and Yongnuo 600's). Yongnuo recently introduced their YN-685 for Nikon and that looks like a good solution.
While looking around, I saw an announcement for a Godox 860 II. I have seen the version 1 in action and really liked the lithium battery and fast recharge times. I was not really tempted as my existing system works fine. That said, version II of the unit has a built in transceiver. This got me to look a little further and I discovered they have a radio controller similar to the Yongnuo 622 TX that can beautifully control their transceivers. So, assuming this all works well, the Godox 860 II with controller would give you these advantages:
1. TTL flash with HSS. (use manual a lot, but when I need HSS use TTL)
2. Fast recycle and long life lithium battery
3. Built in transceiver for easy setup
4. Easy to configure central control from the camera
This sound very appealing!
Let me know your thoughts.
