Does anyone have a working off camera wireless TTL system working in any brand with the X2D? I have a need for a small off camera flash with full TTL support.
- Price is not an issue.
- I must have TTL and it must be wireless.
- I don't need ooodles of power.

I know I can go manual. I have several systems that do that but this will be more dynamic and I don't want to faff around. I can't use cables.

No guessing please. I can do that myself. If any one has a working system, I'd love to know. Ideally I'd get away with a system I already have (Godox, Nissin, Broncolor or Elinchrom) but I'm prepared to buy in if it's a slam dunk working kit.

wireless TTL only works with Profoto.  :)
I use the following:
- Air Remote TTL-N for Nikon,
- A1,
- A2,
- A10. 
the larger B10, B10max or B1 Air ttl would also work. 
(Unfortunately my Godox system only works manually, not TTL.) >:(

Edit: A current firmware update of the trigger and the flashes is necessary.

It does work great with both the Nikon variants of the Profoto Connect and Profoto Connect Pro using all Profoto products that work with these triggers including the A1, A10, B10 Plus, B10X Plus.

I have the X2D with firmware 2.0.1.  I tested this unit - 'Godox XPro II TTL Wireless Flash Trigger for Nikon Cameras' last night with my Godox AD200 pro and AD400 pro.  The camera fires the flash properly.  I tested with both the 'Normal' and 'Rear' flash modes on the camera and the flash fired as expected.

Yes. this works well, but "Flash" requires TTL

I have a mountain of Godox gear. No TTL with Hasselblad.

I have just picked up a Profoto A2 and trigger(s) for Nikon and Sony (the brands I'm taking on this trip). I'll set up and test today but it looks like it'll be absolutely perfect for what I need for the rest of the year.

I am interested in the Profoto Connect Pro for the B10 for the XD2 and see that you confirmed TTL works for the Nikon Connect Pro model.  I saw this on the Q&A from the B&H Product page that states TTL does not work from their product specialist who could be wrong.  Just wanted to confirm that TTL works.

The Connect pro works great with TTL. I use it with the B10X on my X2D.

The Connect pro works great with TTL. I use it with the B10X on my X2D.

The tiny Profoto Connect for Nikon also works great.  I use it with the A2, B10 and the new Stella Pro S.  Never misses a beat.

LPA Design, the company behind PocketWizard flash remote systems, has another company called FusionTLC . They produce a unique flash trigger/controller/analyzer called Raven. Their Nikon model is compatible with Hasselblad X1D II and X2D cameras. Perhaps other X-system cameras will work also, but those are the models listed.

The Raven is also compatible with various Profoto, Godox, and Paul C Buff strobes and can control two different two strobe brands simultaneously for those who own multiple strobe brands. Some shoe mount flash units are also compatible.

I haven't used this trigger, but It has a lot of features which may be of interest for specific uses. Some of the features, I haven't seen on any other flash trigger. If you have specific requirements or applications in mind, it may be worth exploring their online manual accessible thru their website's menu.

The latest 3.1.0 firmware, released today for the X2D, notes in the read me file:

"Added support for Profoto A10 for Nikon in TTL mode. This flash is now compatible with the following air remotes: Profoto Connect Pro, Profoto Connect, and Air Remote TTL."

Only X1 and X2 Hasselblad X camera models have flash TTL.

907X hasn't

That's correct. The 907X 50C can connect to transmitters to control external flashes, but without TTL. The question in this thread was regarding the X2D.
