Looking for Advice on Wildlife flash setup

I'm new to the world of using a flash. I'm going to be taking photos in the jungles of centeral America with the following setup - Canon 7d MII and Canon 100-400 II.

I'm looking for advise on a flash setup. I'm thinking an offbrand flash.

Heya,

Take a look at a Yongnuo 685 or Godox equivalent, with a MagMod grip & MagBeamer. Really sweet setup that isn't flimsy.

Very best,

I

I was thinking the Yongnuo 685 with the wireless flash control kit. Anyone have recommendations for an off camera mount?

I use a standard flash bracket, big L bracket, no-name stuff but made of metal. I gets the flash off axis from the camera to help with steel-eye. I use a generic ETTL flash cable, I don't use wireless for this even with the capability. I attach my bracket with a reverse arca dove tail plate which grips my lens foot (arca dove tail) from underneath so I can take it on/off fast. I use the better beamer attached to my flash, but I recently got the MagMod system and it's less flimsy, very rugged, and a lot fast and nicer to use which is convenient. I used to use a YN565EXII but I now have the YN685, and it's a great flash (HSS & ETTL).

Here's how I did it for very cheap:
