Sony a7RII
I just swapped from canon and need new flashes
For the time being I need a cheap speed lite and was gonna use the cheetah stand sppedlite stand with the adapter to bowens for a soft box


I use the yongnuo 600ex for canon and it was more than enough.
What is the cheap Sony alternative for this?
I wish I could get my yn600ex to just work with Sony but eh

Eventually I'll get the xplor 600 but I don't have $850 right now. Need something cheap to get me through

Either the Cheetah (Godox) Li-Ion battery or standard 4 AA cell versions are the best option of Sony. Especially if you are planning more X system lights in the future.

I've been using them since they became available. (I tested the Sony variant for Edward) Its been spot on since the beginning.

Cheetah (and Adorama for the TTL variant 600) are the two best sources in the US.

The X system is the most flexible option for strobe lighting available today.

Yeah I want to get the xplor 600. Right now when I shoot outside I only need one and honestly a flash speed light is normally more than enough for the style that I shoe. So I was hoping to get something cheap but something I can also add to later using the same transmitter if I needed to

Right now the AA powered 2.4GHz R2 (TT685S) @ Adorama is only $104.00

It can be used later as a slave with the xplor 600, or control it :)
