[QUOTE="Clovishound, post: 823629, member: 50197"] I have the Godox TT685 and my daughter has the Godox TT350. Both are excellent flashes for the money. We use them mainly for macro shooting. The 350 is smaller, less expensive, simpler to operate, and has less power than the the 685. It comes with a small diffuser cap that will fit over the flash head. I believe she had some problems with the flash head overheating when using the diffuser cap and shooting a lot in a short period of time. Without the cap, she has never had any problem with overheating. It also has a small pull out diffuser built into the head as well as a very small built in bounce card. It uses two AA batteries and gets a fair amount of shots per set, although with only two, you will likely be changing batteries more often than a flash with more batteries. I don't think it would be an issue for shooting a wedding, but you definitely want to bring several battery changes just in case you need them. The 685 has around twice the power, I believe, and has more controls and flexibility. That comes with a steeper learning curve. However, if all you are going to do is run it in TTL mode, I think it won't be very difficult to quickly learn how to use it. Just be careful not to fool with any of the controls if you aren't very familiar with how to get it back to basic TTL mode. It doesn't come with a slip on diffuser cap, but they are available rather inexpensively. The flash uses 4 AAA batteries, and I get quite a few shots per set. Note, NIMH rechareable batteries are generally recommended for optimum recycle time, and are a much cheaper option if you are going to use the flash a lot. I keep alkaline batteries in my bag for backup, as they will keep for many years without discharging, so they are basically a put them in the bag and forget them until needed, lathough swapping them out every 5 years or so is probably a good idea. Both flashes come with a nice carrying case, a little cold shoe that doubles as a foot to stand the flash up on a table or other surface, or to mount on a tripod. Both have built in remote control capability. IOW, if you want to remotely fire the flash, you can get a Godox wireless flash trigger that will control a whole handful of Godox flashes at the same time. I believe both flashes have a slave mode in which the flash will fire when it senses the flash from any other close by flash. Note: it must be in slave mode for this to happen. The Godox flashes seem to be highly regarded for an affordable third party flash. [/QUOTE]
