Fuji xt2 Triggers for canon speedlights or suggestions to replace?

[tomkbucks]

As many im moving from canon as i cant resist the sexy curves and colours of the fuji, as yet though im undecided what to do about flash, i currently use 622c's on the canon but with the fuji kit they are limilted to /180 so what are people using? i use mainly OCF with two speedlights so question is what to buy...

For my X-Pro2 I bought the Cactus transmitters and flashes. They work with radio transmission and you can control the flash output via the transmitter on camera. Also with Cactus 6VII and the VF60 flashes you get HSS, works bretty well. In principle you can even keep your Canon flashes and just by transcievers, for a couple of flashes the Cactus support comunication which means you can control those as well via the transmitter and may even work with HSS. Here the link to Cactus website: http://www.cactus-image.com/
With Cactus you don't get any TTL though, TTL is just used between transciever and flash to control the output that you send from the transmitter. For TTL you would have to wait for the new Fuji flash (the older Fuji flashes are somewhat limited) or the alternatives from Nissin and Metz, but for that I would wait just a bit to see how the Firmware issues resolve.
There are other radio transciever that support Fuji now, but I don't have any experince with those...

Cheapest and easiest to use would be the Yongnuo 560 Mk 3 or 4 along with the 560TX. Again no TTL but full control of each flash from the camera position. If like me you hate AA batteries charging all the time the Godox 850's are worth a look as they have lithium batteries with a fairly fast recycle. Or for more power the Godox 360 system. I've used all of the above in full manual with no problems on many Fuji bodies. (Yongnuo trigger was the canon version)
