Would like to hear pros and cons from UHH about the Godox wireless flash and strobe system from those who may use it, thanks in advance and hope I didn't open up a can of worms.

Worms? One never knows what sets people off these days.
I bought a used Godox TT685 and radio transmitter at a great price recently from another site to test it out.
Build quality is not quite at the Nikon level but neither was the price.
It has been a good value so far, especially considering the built-in radio receiver in the Godox.
Performance is perfectly fine.
The radio transmitter takes a bit of thought to use, but easy to learn.
(I use a Phottix Odin with my Nikons at work, so it's yet another interface for me to learn)
Looking to get the Adorama Flashpoint eVOLV/Godox AD200 in the near future and probably sell my Bowens monolights.
Adorama sells them as the Flashpoint brand, B&H sells the Godox brand and would not hesitate to buy from either.
Review HERE.
There is a Godox users FB page, though it doesn't look too busy.
I like the Learn to Light FB page and there seem to be a lot of Godox users there.

For me the Godox system is primarily good for:
1) Easy to use,
2) A broad, unified, reliable, interoperable line from the tiny 2xAA-powered TT350 speedlight, up to 1200 Ws studio strobes,
3) Low cost.
About the only weaknesses I can think of is the color stability is not as good as the best strobes and I don't know of any flash meter with a Godox remote module. For me, their color stability is good enough, and I solved the flash meter problem by buying and inexpensive Pocket Wizard receiver and wiring it to a Godox transmitter then setting it off to the side.
I'd summarize by just saying the strengths are significant and the weaknesses minor.

Tim Payne can answer your questions as he owns this site http://yongnuousa.net/products. I believe he sells the Godox system as well. He's very knowledgeable and is willing to answer any of your questions.
There is a great speedlight fundamentals group on facebook where all the members share questions and information regarding their equipment and processes. Tim is a key informer here as well.

He also offers trade-ins on working equipment.

Hi
I have a TT685N for my Nikon also a wireless transmitter and a receiver for my Nikon SB 600 so it all works TTL works with the system.
I use the MoLight brand which is Godox with Michael Mowbrays tag.
He gives his own warranty and you can contact him any time. I had one transmitter that broke and I was able to text him
and email and he sent a new one right out, did not even have to sent the old one back.
He also has training videos and full support.

I've been looking at these two and Adoramas store brand of it Flashpoint. I shoot sony full frame a mount where there are not a lot of options for off camera ttl flash. (some others have recently and are planned to come onto the scene).. I am waiting patiently for the receiver to come out and see if I can use it with my sony hvl f60m flash and then will expand by picking up a couple of tt685's and I also like their moonlight which is around $700 but provides ttl and HSS with enough power to make it an awesome solution... Currently using Yungnuo manual flashes with built in receivers and a yungnou transmitter...so no ttl or hss..
