Heard Yongnuo YN685 is good. Any suggestions or comments? Want to stay under $125.00
I have four of these flashes. The only problem I have had is only one will AUTO ZOOM the flashhead.
Maybe a firmware upgrade would cure that problem, but so far I have not missed the AUTO ZOOM feature.
It's a great flash otherwise. I use it on my D850 mostly.

Not the same as Yongnou.
Godox (aka Flashpoint from Adorama) has probably the most extensive line of flashes on the market, from speedlights to monolights.
I have 4 myself: 2 speedlights, a monolight and something in between: the AD200.
The 685 a great flash.
There is also the lithium ion powered version- V850 (manual) or V860 (TTL) that gives over 500 full-power flashes per charge.
All of these higher-end models offer HSS, rear-curtain sync and built-in transmitter/receivers for remote use.

Also, take a look at the V1 that's coming real soon.
Thanks for the hint on the Pixel TF-322 adaptor blocks.
I ordered a couple from Amazon for about $15 each. They raise the flash up a little less than an inch, which is just enough to make sure that the SB-400 is out from behind a lens hood. I'll do more testing and learn for sure how wide I can go without vignetting.
The PC connector is a little extra benefit
