Made this video in response to some ill advice given recently. Just watch the video for a full explanation of what I’m talking about.

Excellent video!!! You want to get into a system that is growing, and right now, NO SYSTEM is offering as many options and possibilities as godox.
Thank you so much! You are always tremendously helpful. I love your channel, you're awesome!
Thank you so much for this video! I was researching if the godox tt600 was a good inexpensive buy! One question… will the godox tt600 work with the Yongnuo Flash Trigger Rf-603 Ii N3?
The Canon 60D's flash sync speed is 1/250th.
In terms of light quality, is there a difference between both brands?
Francisco is so right. I originally started out with the yonguno 560III. I had 4 of them and the transmitter. They worked fine for me at the time but as I grew as a photographer, I knew I had to switch to Godox. I work with many photographers who had shown me the benefit of Godox. Lithium battery, TTL plus all the different lighting you can get and all the equipment work as a team as well as they can cross brand. Big plus!
Also worth mentioning with the Godox gear and the X1T specifically you can use that same trigger with that friend on a different camera system by putting it in centre pin only mode. You lose TTL (not sure if you lose HSS too) but it's another really good positive.
I haven't used Yongnuo but I imagine if they are dumb triggers then you can probably share that trigger around as well but you can't change settings from the trigger which is amazing.
Ever think that that advice might not have to do with actually helping people but getting a better kick back. A few months ago someone recommended Canon R for videomakers yet that someone does not use it last I checked.
I bought several Yongnuo flash units a few years ago and have never been quite satisfied with them. I agree with your opinions about them.
While they work well on their own they don't mesh well with other brands.
If you go Yongnuo you are limiting your options.
I recently bought 3 Godox tt685 and the Xpro transmitter and have been very pleased with the features and performance. I bought 2 of the Godox X1R-N receivers which enables me to use my Yungnuo in manual mode with the Godox X1R-N receivers and the tt685 flash units.
I thought the exact same thing when i saw his video recommending the Yongnuo. The Godox ecosystem puts the Yongnuo to shame!
Yes..Godox better value..and I have both. Peter is not a major flash user.
I have that Yognuo lol – but I only use it for rainy pics and snow
Great video! I personally use Godox and wouldn't change. I believe PM chose Yongnuo based on the number of reviews, 971 at the time of me posting, compared to the Godox, only 73 reviews on Amazon.
The better question now is…
How will I now get rid of my current YN systems???
I'm looking into Godox V860ii or Godox V350. which would be better combining it with my AD200? want to use them both on off camera flash. Just want to have this just incase I need it for an event.
I was YN user, started with the manual flashs.
I never understood why the manual flashs did not have HSS, the 560 line up was pretty solid.
Back in the days there was no TX, so i stick with cheap rf 603.
Then my nightmare begun.
I brought my first TTL flash, YN 468 and then YN 568.
And soon i discovered that cannot mix 560´s flashs with 568´s because they used 02 distinct radios systems.
Someone will say there is workaround, stack rf 603 on top of yn622 and so on, but not very practical or cheap.
But YN was not happy, they decided to clone Canon RT radio system, now there was 03 radios systems that to do not talk to each other.
By this time i was already migrating to Godox system.
No regrets.
Bravo! You speak from experience working with all these OCF. Well said! Glad that you point that out to people who are buying their 1st OCF lighting gear.
Nice presenting the use of a good first time flash. I have one of the yongnuo flash , the door broke and they gave me the run-a- round, until the warranty ran out, afterward the company just said get your service center to fix it. You no what I wanted to do at that point, enough said. Mr FJH Photography, it was awesome to have chat a few, at SF19 after calling your name in reverse, sorry no thumb nail pic. Mr. Carr.
Great advice Francisco 😎✊🏼
Great Comparison and thank you for being so thorough. While I like PMs overall content, it was good to get more solid information from someone who has hands on experience with both systems. Its better to invest in a system with scalability than to waste your investment on outdated products.
Peter video confirmed my recent urges to buy a flash but we all know I'd take your recommendation and Robert halls over his any day
Our Lord and Savior: GODox
Great response Peter does tend to do these videos often but just curious are you sponsored by Godox?
Sound advice from an experienced professional that has tested the limits of the Godox (Flashpoint) eco-system. Your hard work and dedication to OCF clearly shows on your channel and your photography! Thanks for helping all of us who follow you to continue to get better at what we do.
Spitting straight knowledge
I don't think you sound like an ad for Godox. You sound like someone with major experience giving their honest advice. Not to mention that everything you said was logical and made sense, too. Oh, and you were in St. Louis?! You were in my back yard and I didn't even get to say hi! 🙁
Best comparison and advice. I own both Yongnuo and Godox lights and agree with you 100%
It was YOU triggering my lights at #shutterfest19 !!!! (At least I know now…)
thank you Francisco for keeping it real & giving us the truth
yea i dont think peter invest much in flash to be fully aware. he speaks based off his knowledge. this video breaks it down better and make person more aware and make a smarter choice. thanks for your video explanation bro
I use the TT600s bad advice by PM… probably been sponsord to say that or he is out of touch ..
I bought two Yongnuo 600 EX-RT speedlites both developed the same fault the zoom function on both stopped working and reads 14mm and when I use them they over heat for this reason I done some homework and bought the Godox V860|| whitch I find is a much better speedlite and Godox have a complate system of strobes that all work together.
Whats the difference between the TT600 and the V860ii?
I was shocked to see Peter Mckinnon recommend the yonguno. Maybe he has a Peter Mckinnon version coming out to match the filters that you need since they dont have hss. All jokes aside my first flash was indeed a yonguno. It served its purpose well but there is NO WAY i could ever recommend it over Godox. Not even to an enemy lol
Nice and informative thanks for the video. I’m actually still the owner of a single speed light but it is from a company called Cactus. Cactus seems to have the same cross compatibility with every camera brand including Pentax (the camera I have). I think in response to that, Godox started supporting the Pentax system as well. So I am still debating whether or not to stick with the system I have or switch to Godox while I’m only one light and transmitter in LOL
Have you ever used the Yongnuo 685?
Love Peter, but I was like Dude! AD200 lol
Hello FHJ wanted to know what you recommend me if godox tt600 or the godox tt685? I use a Nikon D7200
Great video I love the AD200 and V860II looking forward to buying my second AD200 and ADB2 its much more versatile than one single AD400 and I love the way we can use all of this gear with both Nikon and Sony by just getting a different inexpensive transmitter keep the videos coming LOL
