Model: Camilla Chun (great to work with) Sony A7RII, 2-Phottix Indra 360s, Mitros+TTL, Canon 24-70 2.8II L. Phottix Softboxes.

As a yet another Canon turned Sony user, I have a fair amount of gear that seems to have survived the transition so far. Loving my A7II so far. Lighting, however, remains a sore subject. I'm disappointed to find that HSS and TTL are not supported from my current Yongnuo 568II flashes, and this seems a common theme in general regardless of brand or model. I'm hoping that now that we're here at late 2015, there are some better choices that my initial googling have not yet revealed. Obviously looking for remote power control and HSS, but would love TTL too. Also wanting cross compatability with at least Canon and Sony. Cherry on top would be an LED modelling light. 1. I know the Nissin Air system has just been released, but this involves me buying all new flashes, restricting myself to sony only, and there are no triggers available for it yet/ 2. I'm wondering if Paul C Buff Einsteins are the answer? Anyone have any experience with them and the sony alpha, specifically going for times around 1/8000? I don't think they do TTL though. 3. Seems there are a lot of cheap chinese ebay strobes now. I'd be open to trying one out if someone can recommend one based on experience. 4. Odd question but can you mix trigger systems? Like if I got Phottix Odin's can I have a sony TCU, but then use Canon triggers for my Yongnuos? Open to suggestion too, just trying to get something cross system without having to buy two systems. Thanks!
