Guy,Yea need to figure out the way to do FEL
Two options, based on my understanding without testing anything;How are sony flashes incorporated into the system?
For my strobes, I have a Mola Demi, a Westcott 7' Parabolic Umbrella, a SMDV Speedbox A-110 on the way, and a Mola Rayo that's been sitting in my B&H cart for weeks. I like HoneyComb Grids for a slightly cheaper 3rd party option.What modifiers are you folks using? For speed-Lights and/or mobile strobes.
I found a couple inexpensive solutions recently ... the best of which is an aluminum 28" Fotodiox Beauty dish with speed-ring, diffuser and unbelievably a 28" 50 degree grid ... under $200 for the whole set-up (a bit more for Profoto mount).

With the Bowens S mount on the 600 and the S bracket available for the 360 and speedlites. Just about any modifier one might want to use can be fitted with a Bowens S adapter ring and installed.What modifiers are you folks using? For speed-Lights and/or mobile strobes.

If Godox implements Masking (UNIT/ALT) features either in the lights or a trigger my plan will change.I have a folding Beaty dish . I think it's 30 inches. I have a couple I don't like to much setup so I am looking at more options. I ordered another AD360II so now I have two of them and two 685s. I'm not done yet though. I will want another or the 600. I'm rebuilding this kit for TTL.
It does make a loud pop in TTL, I've found that when using FEL its less loud.Just posted this in another forum but thought someone here might know the answers. If so, others might be interested as well.

Finally received my Sony transmitter today from China. Everything (or at least what I have tested) seems to work great with that transmitter and the Ad600 TTL flash from Adorama. Of course the day after a three hour shoot
A few simple questions:
1) The flash makes a loud pop when fired. Louder than with my other flash units. I assume that is normal maybe based on the higher power but just wanted to check with others.
2) With version 2.2 in the flash the Sony transmitter works in TTL fine. However in the flash menus there is an option for Canon or Nikon but not for Sony. This doesn't seem to matter but why no Sony option or alternatively why the other two are listed.
Any insights appreciated.

Me either. As Scott pointed out on PoN, it does show an S when being triggered by the X1Ts, TT685s or V860IIsThanks David,
Will try FEL and see what happens - not a problem just found it odd.
I didn't realize those profiles were only for optical. I will never use optical anyway.
