So I'm wanting to start playing more with OCF and I have 2 SB900's currently. I like the idea of radio flash rather than line of site as I've had a couple of issues in the past with sunlight or things blocking.

I could just get an Su800 or a 3rd SB900 and deal with the line of site. But I've seen godox and the pro trigger plus the 860 or V1 flashes being talked about a lot. Am I better off investing in a Godox flash and x-pro or just sticking with the Nikon flashes?

Godox;
But you could do both by buying Godox receivers to mount your Nikon flashes to.

TBH having the inbuilt triggers is brilliant, and you can probably sell the Nikon’s and buy 2 Godox and a transmitter with the proceeds.

I've an SU-800; I have found it to be unpredictable in when it will work so I purchased a Godox transmitter and a couple of receivers. Can't go wrong with that.

What camera do you have? For close work the pop up flash works as a decent commander. You could give it a go without spending any money.

I'm using a Nikon Z6 so no pop up.
