Godox Flashes

About 6 months ago I changed my flash system to Godox. It gives great light, and best of all, I have remote control of the flash power and trigger from the camera. They're also the only brand on the market with a Li-Ion battery. That means they give 3X the life of a set of AA batteries. In fact, they'll give 650 full power flashes, and at 1.5 sec recycle time. Practically this means I can work faster in houses so get out of peoples hair sooner. There's 2 models in the  range; one manual and one TTL. The TTL versions is the Godox VING V860C, US Link. It looks similar to a Canon 580EXII and offers the same features. HSS, Zoom, fill TTL, master slave control. I have a 580EXII... and I don't use it any more. The 860 is my TTL flash of choice.The manual version is the Godox VING V850.The one I've linked to there also contains the FT-16s trigger set that gives the off camera control. Here's a US link with no triggers: Godox V850 . Triggers: FT-16s Tigger setThese look very similar to the v860, without the TTL. They also have a handy feature that I wish the V860 had... a beep. This is great for letting you know which flash is being changed. Perfect for background and remote flashes.I'll be demoing the flashes as part of my upcoming SWPP talks.By way of note, my original set of 850's were rebranded Neewer TT850. The flashes are identical to the V850, but Godox is the original maker. I had terrible battery problems with the Neewer batteries, but replacing them with Godox batteries made it all good.
