Theres Yongnuo. Mcoplus. Metz and Godox. All make compatable models, I've used the Metz and Mcoplus a lot with Canon and the ones I've used all worked fine. Note some Mcoplus may not be compatable with latest canon cameras. Not sure why but mine doesnt like the 90d, yet works fine on all the others I have.

Nowt to add other than what you mean by ‘compatible’?
If you have older Canon speedlights and rely on the canon near IR communication, then all the above will do.
If you don’t have a preference for communication protocols, all of the above
If you want to play nicely with a Canon ‘radio’ flash then only the Yongnuo 600’s will do.
And if you’ve plans to build a whole set of off camera lighting in future, Godox is the way to go as it has a scalable family of products.
If none of that makes sense, then back to - any of the above will do

I meant it doesn't have to be Canon. It is for on camera flash onlyNowt to add other than what you mean by ‘compatible’?

@davholla I just had a thought, don't you have the MF12 Godox macro set?
If you still have it, do as @Phil V and others have said and go Godox, I have the Godox macro and 2 godox studio flashes lovely gear, the YN600EX-RT II I posted above won't work with the Godox trigger and will only fire via slave mode which isn't always possible. I found out the expensive way and now have 2 triggers
Sorry, I should have picked up on this in my first post.
