Godox V860mkII vs Godox TT685 (vs Yongnuo YN685)

#flash #strobist #Godox #V860 #TT685 #YN685 #Compare #choose #decide

My hope is that this video will help you choose between the flashes:
Godox TT685
Godox V860mkII
Yongnuo YN685

I test the cross brand compatibility with two Godox speedlites (one for Sony and one for Fuji) and see if a Nikon and a Sony trigger (both from Godox) will fire them both. I also compare the recycle time for the TT685 with a battery pack and the V860mkII which has a lithium battery. And then I argue why optical slave mode for me is important to have, and one of the reasons why the YN685 from Yongnuo dissapointed me (besides being very Nikon specific).

I only compare/test:
Compatibility
Recycle times
Optical slave modes
so it is NOT a review of the flashes.
