Thanks for the info.  Have you tried one of the Godox V1 vs the v860ii.  From looking around I can get 2 860ii and a control unit (Godox XPro-N) for a little bit more than one v1. 

Thanks guys.  One question I am a bit unsure of about the metering.  Will the nikon sb700 or sb5000 work with the d850s meter and change as needed?  I know the on camera flash of my d600 changes the meter.  I have a older cheap neewer flash and this does not change the meter on either the d600 or the d850.  Not sure if this is a setting I am not doing or if it is just not communicating with the camera body.  On the view finder it does say "flash" when  the flash is on.  So I know it is sending some data.

Anyways, I hear mixed reviews about the Godox.  I read the v860ii and the V1 are good flashes.  Will this work with the meter of my d850?

I am not against the Godox because of this.  But I have bought non-Nikon stuff in the past and always wish I bought the Nikon model instead.  Like a few Sigma lens where the Nikon equivalent was only 20-40% more.  When it is $100 vs $1500 it is a no brainier to buy the $100 version if it is very close in quality vs the $1500 Nikon one.
