[QUOTE="spb_stan, post: 631833, member: 43545"] From my own experience with both I would say they target different audiences. The standout products of Godox are their higher end battery strobes which are in the $350-600 price range and their folding softboxes and Brollies reflectors that are low prices for small portable light modifiers that work with flash or strobes. I get the impression from feel that the Yongnuo flashes and flash controllers are a bit sturdier, thicker dense plastic, in their flashes and YN-622 series transceivers and transmitters. Either one is a real bargain for anyone who wants more capable lighting but does not want to spend $6000 for Profoto basic setup for portable lighting. Both have a lot of great features, such as very high speed sync, 100 meter range, easy remote adjustment of flash power from the camera. If I was going to use them regularly for commercial weddings I would probably buy the Godox lighting and just accept their proprietary RF controllers because the portable strobes are compatible with their lower cost flash units so there is more range to add into their system. If on the other hand I wanted the best flash controllers to use with any flash I had or wanted to add to my collection, I would stick with Yongnuo Yn-622 transceivers plus a 622 Tx transmitter, very simple to use and solid little units that for me, have never once misfired or failed to fire. At $39/each or 2 for $70 on Amazon, I figure they were the best use of $430(3 568ex flashes, 3 Yn-622 transceivers and a Yn-622-tx transmitter). My 3 Nikon SB-900 flashes cost me $1800! I later got 3 more 622 transceivers for the SB-900s. With that set up I can do some pretty complex lighting setups that would have cost many thousands to duplicate a few years ago. I have used them up to about 300 feet away, in a scene that lit up various key points along a long garden path on a dark night balances with full moon and a wedding couple dancing about 150 feet away. That would have taken a crew and lots of expensive gear just a few years ago. I exposed to the moon and added flash power to highling flowers along the path and two flashes on the couple, one of them a backlighting to have the bride's hair glowing in the snooted flash on the ground right behind them.
