I do club photography and me and everyone I work with have on-camera flash. At one of the clubs we work at there's two strobes mounted on the ceiling (one pointed at our backdrop and another where out backdrop used to be). They're more trouble than they're worth IMO. It would be better if it was for someone staying at the backdrop only shooting at the backdrop for the whole night but all of us pretty freely switch between shooting the backdrop and making rounds at other parts of the club. It's too much of a hassle to keep switching between the speedlight and the wireless trigger on the hotshoe. The strobe works in slave mode but that just causes more trouble because now I have to change my settings whenever I shoot at the backdrop and there's uneven exposure and the contrast is thrown out of wack.
The one where our backdrop used to be is nothing but an inconvenience because I'm shooting pretty much in an area 360 degrees around it so if I'm in that spot, no matter where I am I have to compensate for it and it ends up blowing out a lot of shots.
