So I packed up my Salvador Dali print of two blindfolded dental hygienists trying to make a circle on an Etch-a-Sketch and headed for California.

I find it loud and annoying, my friend who shoots canon and has a 580EX says it is far louder.

Are Godox flashes in general heavy and unmountable? The 860 has a decent recycle time and looks promising, I'm open to using offbrand if the performance is better.

I'd prefer not to use a power pack, if possible, so li-ion battery packs internal look promising to me.

Edit: gently caress, looked up the 360ii. Yeah, that's a big stinker. Maybe the 860 is a good compromise - looks like it's appropriate size to mount hotshoe, and claims a good (1.5s) recycle time.

I have three of the V860II flashes, and they've been great. Normal hotshoe flash size & weight, perfectly mountable. Batteries last a long time, recycle times are low, and I dig the built-in radio transceivers. I have an X1 transmitter for my camera hotshoe and it works great.

Thanks, y'all!

I picked one up and am very happy so far. It doesn't quite keep up with the D500 at full chat, but I didn't really expect it to, and it definitely cycles faster than 1.5s.
