Wireless Flash System for Sony Mirrorless Cameras
Wireless Flash System for Sony Mirrorless Cameras

Hi Ryan,
Interesting. I never thought about using a flash as a transmitter and to fire a flash while on the hotshot as well but as Gary Fong mentioned it can be used as a fill flash so not a bad idea to have that as an option. I just think it's a pricey setup and not to mention a bulky/heavier setup if only using as a transmitter. I looked at the Godox V860ii for Sony to see if it can do the same and it wasn't easy to find but it seems like it can do radio master as well from a reviewer on YouTube (with an option to flash or simply act as a transmitter like the Mitros+)

Phottix Mitros+ is supposed to be great with Sony. If we could get them at a sizeable discount - like $250 I'd probably go in for a pair. Or if Massdrop can get them at a larger discount if everyone agrees to a pair that would work too. $600 for a pair maybe?

Thanks Ryan for contributing. Just curious, what do you like Phottix Mitros+ flashes over the Godox which I've read nothing but good things about? Any features or just a solid brand you prefer? This will be my first flash/wireless flash so any advice would be appreciated. Also, BH has the combo not too far from your price. I'm hoping with a Massdrop community we can get the combo at 500 tops if it's a better system over the Godox. See https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1279527-REG/phottix_mitros_ttl_transceiver_flash.html where it's $609.

I'm new to the world of Flash as well but my understanding is the Phottix Mitros+ has the radio receiver and transmitter built-in. The Godox has a radio receiver built-in, but the transmitter is a separate unit that clips into the side. As far as which is better or not I'm really not sure. Good reviews can be had for either one. Here's a really good review of the Phottix, he's done a bunch on the tech:
-- I checked to see if he's done any on Godox and hasn't.
Be careful though because the link you did for the Phottix "combo" you included is for a Transmitter/Receiver and a Flash, not two Flashes. The Flash already has a transmitter/receiver built-in to it.
For the money that Godox does look and sound like a more affordable alternative
