I really like Nikon’s speedlights, but for off camera use, a radio remote is invaluable.
I’m loving my Godox (Adorama Flashpoint) lights.
Built-in radio transceivers and a ton of accessories and light options.
On the upper end for Godox speedlights, the V1 is amazing. Really long battery life.
Link hereIt’s all I took for a wedding in France last month.
At $110, the
TT685 is better on the budget.
The Lithium-ion powered
Ving 860 will have you shooting all day on one charge for $179
The
X-
ProN Transmitter is really intuitive to use.
They just came out with the
X2 transmitter which is a bit more compact and better UI than the X1, which is a bit wonky tpo use.
I also have an
AD 200, my favorite!... supposedly 3x the power of a speedlight in a package not much bigger, and an
AD 600 monolight.
Those last two will work with Canon, Nikon, Sony, Olympus/Panasonic as the built-in recedivers know what kind of transmitter you are using. A Canon-shooting friend and I share.
I rarely pull out my Bowens monolight kit anymore.
