Originally posted by Digitalis As I recall there is only one of them that can be used with the Godox flash units with HSS ( I can't remember which one).
Cactus V6II triggers work with Godox flash units with HSS.
The Acon triggers may also work with Godox flashes as well, unless they are dependent on using P-TTL HSS capable flashes on the receiver.
The rest -- with the exception of the Metz which we know nothing about yet -- to the best of my knowledge do not work with Godox flashes in HSS applications.
Originally posted by Digitalis Working in an studio environment requires certain equipment that photographers and assistants are familiar with, Pocketwizards are pretty much universal. Everyone in the studio I'm working in at present knows how to use them.
So you are saying all other trigger alternatives are out of the question because they are not Pocket Wizards? That would preclude even those alternatives that are better suited than Pocket Wizards.
BTW, Pocket Wizards were once the go to brand for professionals that needed radio triggering. However, that has changed as other alternatives have become at least as reliable as Pocket Wizard triggers and offer more functionality for much, much less money.
Pocket Wizard has been in the news for sacking employees and not doing well commercially. Their triggers are definitely no longer the gold standard they have been a number of years ago.
Originally posted by Digitalis Using obscure triggers with a unconventional start up sequence to pair the transmitters to the receivers like the Acon, is tedious.
None of the systems I listed requires an unconventional start up sequence, AFAIK. I'd go further and argue that for those who prefer manual power level control, the Cactus V6II is a more efficient tool than Pocket Wizard triggers.
