Hard to beat for the price

If you're looking for a good system to buy I think you're going to have a hard time getting past Godox strobes and flashes. I have a few other Godox/Flashpoint lights and am about to order a second TT600 to complement my portrait setup with three off-camera lights (now two of these and an AD200). Using one of the X1T controllers, or even another Godox flash with a built in commander (I used my little one), you could do pretty much anything you want with enough of these TT600s. The fact that they can do high-speed sync (HSS) up to 1/8000 with any camera brand (again, if you have the right trigger) is really impressive for $65, and there's nothing quite like it in this price range from camera manufacturers (eg (e.g. Canon, Nikon, Sony, Fuji, etc.). The V-Series flashlights, which use 2000mAh rechargeable batteries, are very attractive, but they perform the same, double the price, and I already have a collection of Eneloop batteries that do more than just do the job however, requires a bit more effort since TTL is not supported, but with a little adaptation to TTL flash, the work becomes faster, easier and more efficient. And if you really want to get a better idea of how to use flash and add it to your events or portrait photos to fill them out, knowing how to use a manual flash can be very educational. Even if you're on a budget, it still works well, just a little more trial and error. All in all, these lamps are really reliable. The design is comparable to more expensive and similar light sources (in terms of performance) from Canon or Nikon. With good Eneloop Pro AA flashes in the camera, the recharge rate is pretty fast - probably around 2-3 seconds even with full power flashes (to be honest you're more likely to overheat the flash head if you're shooting very fast at high power than you will come across the charging frequency). They are very reliable in an HSS setup and work very well to fill a higher powered button light in a softbox. The menus are pretty basic and once you remember how to add them to radio controlled slaves and groups you'll probably never need to look at a manual again. I can't comment on customer service here in the States as I've never had a Godox light fail (I wasn't kind to my original TT600 either, to be honest). Worry, buy the Flashpoint R2 (same light, same triggers) rebranded by Adorama as they will support it. My plan if I ever run into a problem is to send it to Adorama for service/repair, but considering the price of these bulbs is so low it's unlikely that a repair would be significantly cheaper than a new one Lightning. One thing about using lights in triggered slaves/groups is that they flash the AF assist lamp to let you know they're connected to the X1T trigger - it doesn't bother me but a friend of mine said that it drives him crazy for some reason. I think to each their own, but there's no way to turn it off.) As for the few people who had quality control issues, I'm not sure why they didn't just return/replace the faulty light when it didn't has arrived -working; If it's damaged/faulty, Revain should be able to fix it.
