What flash head and remote trigger are you using on your SL?

Tried searching for this here but can't seem to bring up results. Just wondering what works best for folks. Also, can I use that same flash head with my Q2?

I like to use my flash off camera, cross shooting and so forth so, I'm guessing I need a trigger as well.

The Leica Q3 is available for pre-order at B&H Photo Video and Adorama

I meant flash "gun" like a strobe that you attach to the hotshoe. Just wondering if the Leica is any better than the Godox which is what I've been using with my Sony gear

if you want TTL only Leica flash is the option

otherwise everything works with trigger, Profoto, Elinchrom, Godox

Profoto Connect, Nikon version of pins as trigger

Profoto B10 and A1 as “flashes” or rather portable studio lights

I've never seen the connect before...that's a cool little unit. So, the hot shoe on my Leica is compatible with Nikon?

In the studio for product and portraiture, I use a Pocket Wizard PWIII in the hot shoe and Buff E640s and older Nikon speed lights with Pocket Wizard transceivers. Outdoors on location, I use the Leica SF 60 flash and SF C1 transmitter for HSS wide open portraits (on light stand with a shoot through umbrella typically).  I use the SF 60 mostly off camera but it works great on camera for fast macro shots (with provided diffusor installed).
