To keep it simple, get a current-generation Sony flash. For a better deal (with full exposure compatibility) get the Nissin i40. I'm comfortable with manual flash operation, including energy setting, and use my other branded flashes (Canon mainly).

Portrait shoots outdoors covers a wide range of requirements.
Speedlites can work as fill flash outdoors under some conditions.
For other situations it will require more power.
High Speed Sync (a special firing sequence permitting higher shutter speeds) can be used but requires additional considerations for light output.

HERE is the first of seven pages on my website evaluating the X system from Godox. Its one alternative that offers a range of options.

Disclaimer: I have tested some of the products for Edward Tang (Cheetah Light) to confirm Sony compatibility. The testing was done without payment, including equipment.
