[QUOTE="Horoscope Fish, post: 677904, member: 13090"] I recently switched over from an entirely Yongnuo based flash system to a Godox system and couldn't be happier. The [url=https://www.amazon.com/Godox-Transmitter-TTL-Convert-Manual-Dedicated-Customizable/dp/B0761LQRYR/ref=sr_1_3?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1535289790&sr=1-3]XPRO controller[/url] is superb and the entire Godox system is, in my experience, simpler, better thought out and more comprehensive. The built-in triggers of the [url=https://www.amazon.com/Godox-TT685N-Speedlite-High-Speed-External/dp/B014A06V4Y]TT685N[/url] (or it's lithium-ion battery powered twin that I use the [url=https://www.amazon.com/Godox-V860II-N-Battery-Speedlite-Compatible/dp/B01E16K04E/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1535289743&sr=1-1&keywords=v860N]V860IIN[/url]) make life a whole lot simpler: there's just less gear to hassle with and fewer batteries needed since the radio triggers are built-in to the flash. One thing I really like about the XPRO controller is the TCM function which is, I believe, unique to the Godox system. With the push of a button my Godox flash will use the TTL function to establish a proper exposure, switch the flash to Manual mode and apply the TTL settings. From there you tweak exposure as needed. It's a huge time saver in the studio and a convenience I no longer want to be without. I will say the Yongnuo system is good, very good. It was very reliable for me when I used it and I used it a lot. I have nothing bad to say about it, frankly. For someone seeing themselves using only a single hot-shoe mounted flash, I'd say a Yongnuo flash is an equally good choice but... From [I]your[/I] post it sounds like you're talking about getting into a full blown off-camera setup and this, I think, is where the Godox system outclasses Yongnuo and is why I'm suggesting you invest in a Godox based system over a Yongnuo based system.
