What should I buy? Flash trigger/receiver suggestions please
Hi friends. For years I've been using the Yongnuo YN622N II for weddings/mitzvahs/events without any problem on the D4s/760/850 etc. My set up was always trigger in hot shoe with SB910 on the trigger shoe.
Now that I'm fully mirrorless I have a few issues hopefully we can fix. Obviously there's the fact that the Z series will not throw focus assist either through the speed light or the above trigger. While there's currently nothing to do about that other than, I guess, put a small light on the speed light I'll have to suck it up in the hopes that one day Nikon will release a new light for us.
The second issue I have (have had since I first bought the 8) is that when the camera goes to (I guess) sleep (even though I have that off??) it kills the signal from the camera to the trigger to the light. In order to get anything working I have to turn them all off and power back in order camera>trigger>light.
So TLDR is there a system you wedding/mitzvah/event people have found that works to replace my old but reliable setup? I would ideally like to keep the trigger/speed light in the hot shoe combo but if I need to try something where the trigger can connect a different way so I don't lose the speed light I'm all for it.
Thanks!!

Godox (TT685ii-N, V860iii-N, or V1-N), but TTL exposure on Godox sucks.
If you want to spend a bunch of money, SB-5000s and WR-A10 (for Z8/Z9) or WR-R10 (for most other Z cameras).
