Studio flash / always on lights

I've been a pro photographer for 15 years, now, weddings mainly.

Nikon D700 to D810 and now a Z8, and always used my Nikon SB-900's but they really are past their prime, overheat easily etc.

I grabbed a V860III-N and a Godox X2T-N Wireless Flash Trigger about 12 months ago.

We're looking at my wife taking over as I also work part-time, and we're getting a lot of studio-style requests.

I've a lot of old Lencarta studio lights etc, but they are big, heavy and get very very hot, and I like the Godox gear I've got so far so looking to grab some more bits asap

Looking for some studio style flast lights that also has a good modelling/always on light as well. 1 year old cake smashes are harder waiting for flashes to recycle vs modelling lights.

Don't really have a budget in mind yet, but would like any feedback from those in the know. Requirements:

Useable in a studio space / church / outside location shoots / wedding receptions
Good variety of light modifiers
Easy to use and setup

Xbox One X - terrible wifi speeds upstairs

Hi all,

We've fibre at 600mb and the Xbox X is fine, but the kids have an xbox one X up in their room and the speeds are single figures most of the time, so they aren't getting the best out of their system.

I've spent time messing with settings on the xbox, what settings I can on the router (Sky - UK) but it's pretty locked down.

Whilst a decent router is on the shopping list, it's way down the list.

Are there any solutions you can recommend for speeding the internet up for them that will connect wirelessly to the router, but cable to the xbox one?

My phone in the same room, with data turned off and just wifi is getting 300-400mb

Currently own a 2017 Superb 280 4x4 in Dragon Green as the family car, school run, wife's work commute etc.

They've just relocated, twice the distance away and the 280 is thirsty, roads are even worse.

So we are potentially looking at 3rd vehicle for her.

The Enyaq seems a decent commuting vehicle that can be used on the school run/commute etc.

A normal Enyaq, i'd potentially replace the wheels and look for ones smaller allowing for even bigger side walls, the country roads we have to drive are wheel killers.

The problem we've got is... after looking, we also quite like the VRS version 😃

So, anyone have the lower models or VRS version (MAXX and winter packages if we can find a red/green one with them), what are your opinions of them? It'd be our first EV as well, anyone know the estimated life span of them?
