I purchased these two flashes Meike MK 300 and Yongnuo Speedlite YN685

Which two flashes?

about 4 years ago for my Nikon D500. Are they compatible and safe to use on my Canon R7. Or are there still voltage and hotshoe pin differences like there used to be with older cameras/flashes which could damage the R7? Just wondered if these were more universal these days?

Sorry, forgot they were in title in other thread!
Meike MK 300 and Yongnuo Speedlite YN685

The Youngnuo is a Nikon-only. I can't tell about the Meike, but if it is a Nikon-specific flash, don't put it on a Canon camera.
