Godox issues with the R5 are only if TTL and HSS are used at the same time, right?

I know this is and old thread but was hoping it's still alive. I have been using the V1-c with an R5 and this issue explains a lot, as I use HSS regularly. I was just putting the inconsistent results down to the flash itself. My question, if anyone here knows, does the V860III have the same issues with the R5 and HSS? I am thinking of getting another flash that I can use in the situations I need TTL & HSS. Thanks

I think the issue was in the trigger, not in the specific flash. And the new version of the trigger still has some issues, though may be different ones: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EPBaE01ospQ

Personally I am starting to look into Westcott because of all this.

Just be aware the Westcott FJ / Rollei Freeze systems are a rebrand of (and tweaked to be made incompatible with) the Jinbei RT system. And that Jinbei's gear also exhibits the same underexposure-with-TTL Sony issue that Godox gear does. Just saying. They have at least one of the same bugs that Godox does.

Rumor is that the new XPro II-C may have a fix for the TTL+HSS bug; but I haven't seen any tested confirmation of that. No idea of the status of the Err70 bug R3/R7/R10 users are seeing with single-point AF, either.
