    It is unlikely that the YN685 will support HSS when triggered with a sync cable.

    Have you tried mounting the YN685 to the V6II directly?
    Just set the flash system of the V6II to Canon or Nikon, depending on what system your YN685 is dedicated to. The flash profile should be set to "Auto".

    Both alternatives work for triggering. Remote power control may require the use of an X1 trigger. You can search the forum for respective posts from people who use the V6II in combination with the AD360 and AD600.

    Have you tried the following power on sequence?
    1. Switch on the YN685
    2. Set flash mode to E-TTL
    3. Switch on V6 II to RX mode
    Leave the V6 II to auto-detect before you start the above steps.

    Please let us know if this helps.

    Thank you.

    Are you using a sync cable?

    Or mounting the YN685 flash on V6 II's hot shoe?

    Thanks!

    You should use MANUAL flash (or the V6 II would detect it as MANUAL when you use a sync cord) - if you are running on the latest firmware.

    Thanks for the update! :)
