This condensed version is very good, hope to see more of them in the future. I am looking into something similar in 2019 and this will be on my evaluation list for sure. A good condensed version like this could be on my tablet for quick reference.
Thanks for the feedback!
Also Mark, since you commented on the new format… how do you feel about the “house ad” that is inserted in the middle of this video?
I have to admit I do not like adds but things have to be paid for somehow. Adds are better than no content, just hope that over time they do not become too intrusive. The current level are not too bad in most cases. If I had a choice I would prefer adds be at the beginning.
It's fine as an overview, which is exactly what I needed. I am getting two remotes and the transmitter today and wanted to see what I was getting into. Thanks for your time and effort, very helpful, sir! :-)
The ID option in the settings is used to avoid wireless signal interference in the event if others are using the same brand and on the same wireless channel.
thanks Adam!
Great video and great explanation! I've watched several videos on this remote and yours is the best! Thanks for making it simple.
Thank you so much Mr.joseph for this tips
If it wasn't for this video and how you explained things, I would still be confused on my now new lighting system. Thank you!
That’s what I like to hear! Thanks :-)
@@photojoseph same here!
I bought this trigger Godox XPro-C for my Canon 5D Mark III, my speedlite Canon 430EX II but I can't get it work wirelessly. Is there anything I am doing wrong? Please kindly help.
please reach out to the manufacturer for tech support
That focus assist lamp is really good in low light, even if you don't use your flashes. It nails focus every time so I tend to keep it on the camera in low light or shooting things with no contrast features in them, such as a plain wall. NOTE: It does not work when you set your Canon to focus AI or Servo. You need to be in ONE SHOT mode. Took me ages to figure this out.
Useful tip... thanks!
Thanks a ton! awesome video!
To get the Flash to remember the group you have to push set button after finding the wished group you want! A super helpful movie to help me make up my mind and go for a Xpro trigger
11 min video - just what I needed! Now I'm up and shooting. Thanks so much.
Sweet!
Good information but please SLOW DOWN!!!
Try the 0.75x speed playback. I talk fast, sorry.
Thank you so much for this video. Didn’t want to plow through the manual and you explained everything I need. Thanks again!
The video was a life saver, the default range being set to 1-300m was my issue. After changing it to 0-30m everything worked perfectly.
Awesome
Ahhh, I think I've figured out why the darn thing keeps turning off. It's a menu setting. THANK YOU!
Thank You Thank You great info.
Glad it was helpful!
This is the best video explanation hands down! I have been struggling trying to get my trigger set to the light and also getting my camera HSS to work on my Nikon Z6. Thank you for this video!!!
Glad to find this review as I just picked up this remote. Quick question- if I want to use two bodies, would it make sense to have two remotes and would both cameras be able to control the light setup? or for example, two photographers using the same setup- each with a remote?
Dude, you rock. I'm just getting into mutli-flash now and you really unpacked this beautifully. THANK YOU!
Awesome!
Just purchased the XPRO N. I have it set as example 1/16 zero, +.3 or +.7. I am assuming that this is exposure compensation. Is there a -.3 or -.7? If so, how do I get there? PS great video, easy to navigate
I paid 100 € for it ! The rubber on the usb-port was loose, so I used ducked tape . I use it on my Godox AD400 and AD200 strobes. I think it's amazing, better than the X1
My Godox X-Pro does not allow me to use the 2nd curtain sync on Canon 700D (Rebel T5i). I am not able to enter the camera menu “biult-in flash settings” when the trigger is attached. Does anybody know how to solve that?
Your video is 3 years old but it is a huge help to me now. Thank you
I changed distance to 0-30 but I still can't get one of the flashes to fire using the Pro X transmitter. I have both flashes using the same settings, same channels. I can't figure it out. The one that fires says SONY in the bottom left, the one that does not, has no SONY on the LCD screen. Any ideas?
Will the Xpro allow you to work the flash if the Xpro iis off the camera? J. Payne 8/1/22.
I just got the XproS and TT600. I got the flash to connect signal, but the remote seems to have the group set to off. I cant switch to on. Buttons or dial just scroll the menue.
By any chance will the Godox TT350o work with the XPro remote ?
I don’t have the word “sync” displayed on the screen over the second button. I use Xpro-F
Didn't read all the 261 comments but what about multiflash mode?
Hi.. What if I want to adjust the flash to group d or e.. Because the flash shows only groups upto c
Can the X Pro remotely control the TT600 (which is manual only, no TTL)?
I see that the hot shoe mount is now metal. On one of the older reviews it was plastic. With this thing sticking up off of the camera, I can see bumping it against something. Nice to see they made that change if it was in fact plastic before.
life saver! Finally got it figured out. Thanks for the video
I can seem to get my b chan. To TTYL. Sync as of today my ad 200 and v1. For nikon wont fire. Not sure what I did
Thanks, this was very helpful
Great video. Thank you
Going between the lightning bolt to the antenna mode on the flashes has tripped me up a few times.
will this control the godox ad600 at the sametime
Any idea why the trigger gives you the option of have A B C D or E but on the flash when it is in slave you can only seem to select the slave on the flash to only A B or C??? Thank you
Some strobes have more channels. The V1 goes up to D or maybe even E.
I just purchased 2 of the Godox AD100s and the Godox X Pro C. First venture into flash and , after watching several supposedly "easy to understand" videos, became very frustrated trying to get it all to work. Your video is EXCELLENT! After watching I was able to put it all together. I can't thank you enough.
Oh that’s awesome to hear, thanks!
Great guide. You are very astute when it comes to delivering explanations in very understandable and digestible way.
Thank you.
thank you
Love Godox for what they have done, on that note the main issue(s) are if you're using non Godox strobes you can not control the lights even with the firmware updates. All you have is a trigger it's looking like Yongnuo is the only flash controller that will work with your mix of light.
You’re saying they Yongnuo triggers will control other brand lights? Seriously?
Congratulations for this video.
Is there a way to turn off flashes individually to test lighting?
Yes, absolutely. I do this all the time.
Not a single word on using the Pro as a remote shutter release?
Hello Joseph and my compliments for this video! i would like to knwo if it is possble to trigger speedlites (no godox brand) with godox xpro without any receiver o do i need Godox X1R-N? thankd indeed
You need SOMETHING to trigger the remote light. The cheapest route is to get optical slaves. They’re about $10 each and will trigger anything with a hot shoe or PC connector. Search “optical Slave” on amazon. They just have to be line of site; that’s the limitation. And of course everything is manual.
I think the ID setting is for newer firmware, many Godox devices have been recently released to include it. It's not documented well either. Basically the receiver will only listen to the transmitter with a matching ID number, even if on the same channel.
The manual said it’s no longer used. If that’s not accurate I’d love to know!
This is just what I was looking for, love your delivery too! Subbed!
Thank you!
How do you set HSS on an XPRO Trigger when paired with a V1? I'm breaking my head on this one. On The V1 I just push the sync button, but it just does not appear on the XPRO. HELP!
Very well done, and useful Joseph. Thanks for being so detailed.
Thank you! Are you using Godox now?
@@photojoseph Not just yet, but planning on new speed lights for 2019 when our season ramps back up. These may be what we are looking for. The other option may be Profoto A1 units if they come out with a dedicated Lumix TTL remote. Still debating between the two, but close to pulling the trigger on something. Decided to hold out and hopefully see them both at WPPI, which is just around the corner. These are pretty enticing though considering the price point!
I love Profoto but the price is hard to beat here. Before you’re ready to buy, I’ll have a video up on the biggest studio light they make.
Great !!! Thank you very much !!!!
I bought twp V860IIOs and the XPro for my Lumix G9 and GH6. It takes some practice, especially since they operate quite differently than the SB800 and SB600s in my old Nikon CLS. For example, I need to crank the gain way up to be able to use the McNally Lastolite. With the Nikon CLS, the camera and Speedlight would compensate. Finally, since the WiFi on the G9 and GH6 is 2.4 GHz, same band as the XPro trigger, I have not found a channel in the Godox system that does not interfere with the Panasonic Image App on my iPhone. Thanks to your videos, I had very little learning curve with navigating the flash and trigger menus.
Glad my video helped!
A very nice overview. I am currently us Nissin flashes because I like the simplicity of the two dials. Currently looking into a twin flash system for macro work and these flashes may be suitable.
Hello Joseph. Do you know if it is possible to get these triggers to sync above 1/250 with Panasonic S1 family? I know the S1 can sync at 1/320, but when I have the XPro trigger on I can't go higher than 1/250. Same if I put the flash (V1) on camera. I don't want HSS, I want full sync at 1/320, which I know the S1 supports - but so far it seems that Godox does not. Appreciate your insight...
Not that I'm aware of. That's a question for Godox for sure.
I did a search and come across this video and figured I try to pick your brain around the topic of the Godox trigger. I just purchased (2) Godox AD200's and a Godox X2t ttl wireless flash trigger. But I am having an issue syncing the trigger and strobe together, so that I can control the strobe power, etc using the trigger. Would you happen to know how to sync them together using the Panasonic GH5? Thanks
Everything I could possibly share is in this and the part 1 video. If those don't help, then I suggest reaching out to Godox.
Hello, I a few questions hope u can help me. Why does the zoom reach 24 in my flashes and 12 in yours? I have seen in other videos that the flash has groups A B C D and E, but in yours and mine only A B and C appear? Greetings from Mexico.
12mm on an MFT camera is 24mm so that's probably why. No ideas on the groups sorry
Some handy tips thanks.
Why my camera didn't connect to the trigger? Trigger and flash no problem.. when I take photo flash doesn't come out..
reach out to Godox
It helps me much.Thanks
Hello! I can't use the function zoom to my speedlight TT600 with Xpro(C). Can you help me? Sorry my bad english. :o(
Please contact Godox support for issues with their hardware.
Thank you! the Step feature!
Hi do godox tt520 which is a manual type of flash, be controlled like can adjust its power, etc wirelessly?
I don’t know that model, sorry. I suggest looking at the specs on the Godox website.
I have godox v865 II, when I set this on xpro, working, then I got ad200 pro, on xpro working, now I tried both ob chanel one, different groups, non is firing and if I switch one off, also, how I set this back?
Sounds like your channel and groups are mixed up. Make sure the one flash is on the right channel and group
Mine is in rx mode
Now why would Godox not include firmware update with mac? Photographers are hella apple users.
Yeah it’s super annoying
Nice presentation. Very clear. Thank you!
Please kindly help me out. Iha e à godox x pro Nikon but im unable pair it up with my nikon speedlights. Please help.
Please reach out to Godox tech support
Looks good, I might do a buy
Thnx it helped a lot ❤️❤️
Hi, dank je wel voor de video ! ik ben momenteel nogal in strijd met mijn nieuwe godox v1 flitser + xpro trigger, mede doordat er weinig goede handleidingen bestaan in het nederlands. Gelukkig heb jij deze tutorial gemaakt, echter: als mijn trigger op A staan en CH 1 ... en mijn flitser staat ook op tzelfde ingesteld, dan nog zie ik niet iets wijzigen op mijn flitser.. als ik de trigger aanstuur en wijzig. Dus Iets klopt er niet... heb jij enig idee hoe dit kan?
Sounds like they trigger and flash aren't compatible… if they are, then perhaps you need to update the firmware? I linked to a video on how to do that in the description.
XPro goes sleep mode after only 30 seconds, not 90 as said in manual. Be aware of that.
Pretty sure that’s user configurable
Hi thank you for the tutorial. One question I have is that, when you set a setting on the remote , is it possible to adjust the settings on the flash unit and it will update the settings to the remote. I use flash to shoot multiple exposures and then blend them in post. So I want to avoid having to touch the remote unit attached on the camera if I need to make adjustments.
I don’t think that’s possible. The remote can control multiple lights, each with different settings. If you updated the flash, should that propagate the changes to the other flashes? If movement of the camera is a concern, look for a cable that you can but between the camera and the controller. Canon makes on for their lights, for example, that might even work with other brands.
do a video on HSS with this
thank you sp Much
thanks for this! :)
Good morning sir..after long time perfect tutorial catched.. your video are diamond 💎💎💎...sir a small doubt..if I use multiple flash with trigger..if I don't fire flashes in 15-20 minute..is it off or in stand by mode sir.... please message me sir....
trying to follow with my xpro by the time I look at what he is talking about he has gone to another portion of the instruction.
This isn’t designed to be a “follow along in real-time” guide. If it were it’s be 5x as long and everyone would complain that it was too long. Please use the pause and back-up features of TH-cam if you’re trying to set yours up as I go.
Thanks Joseph, well explained!
Glad it was helpful!
Do u have any idea how i turn off/on the external flash with the xpro itself ? is it possible ?
Hm, not offhand. Maybe set it to zero output?
Hi, by default my xpro was set to ID1 and nothing worked while XT2 was working fine. By comparing i noticed XT2 was set to ID off. So now xpro in IDOFF works fine too. is it normal ? what is this ID parameter ? i thought it was just a name for rcognition during a scan...
About my XT2, i have a strange display for channels. OFF or ON and in ON mode i see a panel with power, duration, frequency like a RPT... i can't change it to select ttl or manual. any idea ?
thank you very much, you solved my problem, which was to adjust the zoom on the radio and transmit to the flash!!!🙏🏼
Great video, everything so clearly explained - thanks! I have a question... I intend to get a godox xpro remote for my Nikon, I already have 3 Nikon flashguns, will I need a Godox receiver to fire each of these? If so, what would work best with the godox xpro transmitter? Thanks!
The TTL funtion of the (x1t/x2t/Xpro) can control the TT600 (Manual Flash)?
We all know your are a pro but, you go so fast through everything, we can not keep up with you. SLOW DOWN we don't know anything about this and would like to learn. I taught college for 25 years and if I had gone as fast as you, most of my students would have dropped my classes. Slow Down !!!!!
I got an XPro remote and TT685o today to use with my G9 after seeing several positive reviews and helpful tutorials like yours. The TT685 wouldn't mount to my camera.'s hotshoe After rechecking to confirm I got the right model, I found the contact pins had very sharp, unfinished-looking points that I smoothed a bit with a jeweler's file. That worked, but it's a reminder that the low price can have its downside.
Is it possible to trigger the test flash feature remotely... Let's say when using a light meter... Is it possible with the xpro attached to a camera's hot-shoe to trigger it to produce a test flash while you're standing next to your subject or light?
The easiest way to do that is with a PC cable from the strobe to the meter
@@photojoseph Thank you! I will look into what that entails...
A very cheap cable
Big thank you for this comprehensive tutorial .. brilliant
You told us how to lock a setting buy, you never told us how to unlock a setting. Please let me know. Jim, Charlotte, NC.
Godox v860ii c does he work with canon slr3 (250d)???
I do not have a sync ikon, but i am on ver. 1.0 , is that why? Also can't shoot in HSS with Fuji ? Camera only goes to TTL?
Using the above equipment, if you switch modelling light to 'on' from the trigger, then press your 'depth of field' preview button on your camera, the flash will emit a series of rapid flashes so you do indeed have a modelling light with these flashes. Don't overdo it though
My beep mode is ON on both the flash and the XPro but no beep have you any Idea why?
No… maybe it’s a broken beeper? Sounds like a question for Godox
Yea the beep on my Nikon Sb700s doesn't sound on either.. I've noticed it only sounds when I use the optical flash to flash triggering but doesn't sound with any triggering system I've used which sucks because I like hearing the beep 😀. Love the godox system as I've been using it for almost 2 years now while putting my speed lights in fully cover soft boxes so optical sensor flash is a no-go!
Same here. Same configuration, the beep is on both on the SB-700 and XPro yet no beeping. Beeping works on optical triggering when the flash is set to remote. It however does not beep on the camera when set simply to ON. So I guess beeping is off unless the flash is in remote setting. By the way great video thanks Joseph.
what happens if you dial power on the speedlight instead on the transmitter? will the power value on the transmitter be changed?
I believe so but can't test it now. Ask me again in two weeks and I'll check
The flash can work as either master or slave, but I don't think the transmitter can be put in slave mode. In short, when the transmitter fires, the flash setting will be overwritten. However, if you program the flash to trigger manually at let's say 1/128 power from the transmitter, you can override the value on the flash manually on its back panel. The flash will trigger once on the new value, and return to the value set on the trigger after firing because there's no value transmitted back to the transmitter from the flash, as the flash is in slave mode (or it wouldn't be triggered by the transmitter).
Hold on you have to press the set button after you make changes. Try zooming and then press set?
Excellent! Best tutorial ever. Thank you!!!
Just got this and it looks great. However I cannot see any way to save the group settings so every time I switch it off I have to set these up again. Is there a way to do this?
This flash vs hvlf60rm? What’s your opinion
Do you know if it is possible to use a xpro(n) to shoot a tt685(s)?
I would like to know ETTL M zoom 35 mm (What does the M zoom 35mm mean)
What do I think? Ten minutes is easy. Do we need to know about the old transmitter?
How do I sync my godox xpro with a Nikon sb600?
