One thing I can say for certain is that the hotshoe on the R5/6 is trash. If you’re a wedding photographer who uses on-camera bounce flash it’s just a matter of time before you’ll be sending it in for repair. Canon needs to do a recall.

I do use my Godox V1 fairly often more on then off my R5. I haven't noted any weaknesses but my style of shooting actually places my left hand in a position that lightly supports the base mount for the flash, so maybe that helps. The V1 isn't a heavy flash as well so who knows. I'm awaiting a Z9 Nikon to work with to see if it's any more suitable to my needs. I might even be a 2 system guy who knows. Time will tell.

Name the gear and I've probably owned it and used it.
