Thanks for this video, I come back to it every time I forget where it is on the new trigger - so frustrating when you're on a job and it's like 'now where was that button again, oh the mode button, oh no, that doesn't work, let me find Will's video, oh, you have to press the group, then the mode button' dope! Why did anyone think that was a good idea to remove the button?
Normally one uses the controller with at least two or three groups, i.e. with different units at the same time, but TCM only allows you to adjust for one unit at a time, if one takes the trouble to do it with each flash with each shot adjusting with each one it becomes totally impractical and we will probably get values that are not too useful since the flashes affect the values of the others which leads me to wonder how correct are the results of the Pro1 model even with a button.
Absolutely, it is a complete step backwards to remove this button. What were they thinking, developing backwards instead of moving forwards? It is now so complicated to select the TCM function, although in practice it always has to be available very quickly. Are there absolute theoreticians in the development department!? Godox as a whole is no longer as innovative as it used to be. I am glad that my Godox X Pro still works and I don't have to buy this X Pro II. Incomprehensible.
This entire function is a down grade compared to previous version. I never had to choose flash I just took a shoot and pressed tcm. Now you have to do a zillion key strokes to set a multiple lighting set-up. Almost useless now and you have to guess the buttons. This is not good when you are on a job.😢
@@willsimpsonphoto It seems to be working without the TCM Button. Set a group to TTL. Take a photo. Select the Group button. Tap the Mode button to switch from TTL to M. The power setting that was used in TTL is now a Manual power setting
it was a button that allowed you to set it from auto to manual with the settings of the last auto flash settings. This should explain is: th-cam.com/video/TSx-UMqsIh4/w-d-xo.htmlsi=8oB16qSaqjWcFopl

I totally agree. I hate that they removed it. It was so easy before and now it’s just unnecessarily complex.

@@marcelocampoamor4761 true, would be a good test to try out and see.
I miss the TCM button... Shall we get Godox to bring it back? lol
Yes, not sure why they regressed to this method ☠️

Yeah I kind of agree. The earlier one was better.
What if I'm using both AD200 and AD300 at the same time?
I would think it would work but I’m not 100% sure. Might have to test it.
For someone who uses tcm. This is a step backwards.
I kind of agree, I loved the TCM button. It was so easy.

It seems to be working without the TCM Button.
Set a group to TTL.
Take a photo.
Select the Group button.
Tap the Mode button to switch from TTL to M.
The power setting that was used in TTL is now a Manual power setting
@@ronald7482isn't that what he did?
What a stupid change. I’ll keep my tcm button thanks.
lol i know, its so much easier with the button.
Господи, спасибо тебе!
you're welcome :)
Has all the Godox transmitters a TCM feater?
No just the pro triggers I believe.
I have a Ad 300 it says 360 on it
360 on the flash or TCM for the Trigger?
@@willsimpsonphoto 360 on the trigger, but my light is ad 300
спасибо
😁
Whats a TCM button?
it was a button that allowed you to set it from auto to manual with the settings of the last auto flash settings. This should explain is: th-cam.com/video/TSx-UMqsIh4/w-d-xo.htmlsi=8oB16qSaqjWcFopl
@willsimpsonphoto You are awesome. Thank you!!!
