Yes I actually bought a Godox S-Bracket couple of months ago

The recent S-Brackets fit the AD200PRO without having to do any surgery on it.

and I am also considering getting a good light stand

The basic light stand I like a lot is this one…

Heavy Duty light stand

and Godox UB-130D,

For a lone umbrella, I’d probably start with a conventional white-lined umbrella instead of a shoot-through.  I do use a couple of shoot-through (translucent) units on occasion, but they’re not as versatile.

I wanted to go with UB-130W but its not available where I live and then save up some money and buy a good flash I have 4 flashes in mind TT685ii, V860ii, AD100 pro and AD200 pro.

Definitely think about each flash’s use cases.  You may want a nice on-camera unit like the V860iii first, and then a strobe like the AD200PRO.

you are absolutely right about godox value, for the price of one canon 600 ex rt one can get a full kit from godox with better recycle time.

Yes, once i recoup the money I used to buy M50 and save some more I am thinking of upgrading to FF

You can actually do a heck of a lot with the M Series and some of the great primes (just like MAC recommends).

and it will be dream come true if I could get my hand on sony a7iv or canon R5 with 85 1.2 and 28-70 f2...🤤🤤🤤

Yes, full frame does add possibilities.  That 28-70 f/2 is indeed without peer.  It’s my most used event lens!

I tried it today I actually just got back from an event and the light their was utterly disgusting and was quit darkish

Know what you mean!

but the good thing was that the ceiling were lower about 10 feet tall so what I did was set my SS to 1/160 aperture to f2.8

Nice.  That faster SS will help.

ISO 800 or 1600 (cuz I read somewhere that canon does a good job of handling ISO if you increase it by a full stops instead of 1/3 or 1/2 incriminates)

Right.

and my flash power to full and then when I took a photo guess what they better then the sample in this thread.

Excellent!

Now I have to just test it in bright venues with an umbrella pointing at the subject.

That’ll help a lot.

Best of luck. Get out there with someone and practice your butt off!
