Not sure it was mentioned but for those who worry about accidentally changing settings you can hold the MODE button for 2 sec. and it will lock all settings. To unlock hold the MODE button again.
Your videos covering the Godox lighting system are the reason why I've invested in them. And have to say it is easily one of the best investments in my photography I've ever made. Keep it up.
@3:05 - it is necessary to press SET after changing power setting because it will not be saved. You will still initiate the previous power setting unless you press set for the new setting.
Robert Hall Photography i mean for example you are using 1/8 power then you want to increase it to 1/4 power, dial it to get 1/4 reading highlighted on trigger then must press set, otherwise you think you’re using 1/4 power already but still 1/8 being fired by flash because you didn’t press set but in the trigger shows 1/4 still highlighted. Was not pressing set also before but i saw it from one youtuber that you need to press set then he is right after i tried it actual test. Check it by yourself or maybe i’m saying differently from topic or maybe i’m wrong in some way.
Watched your video twice, played with my new XPro-C for about 30 minutes and was happily exploring my 580ex II’s until the batteries ran dry. Thanks fir your video - the side by side demo made the learning curve more effective. And like everyone else, manual could certainly use improvement.
@@bethbaugher7027 I found that after spending a bit of time with hands on the unit that I learned the controls fairly quickly. Although after not touching it for a while I had to relearn it again, this is where the manual would have been helpful. Cheers!
I have watched this video several times. I am a Nikon shooter and the information is universal. Good job! Whenever I need a brush up I come back to this video. Thanks!
As many have stated in comments : The ID function is most likely an additional layer for the flash to have a specific line of communication to equipment, so that two users could coexist on a single channel. This will likely be added to their other products through firmware. Additionally - I got the TCM function backwards, it is far more useful. You can use the TCM function after any TTL shot. This means you can shoot multiple times, as soon as you are satisfied with the result, you can hit the TCM function, and it will then convert your TTL to manual. So you don't have to pre-emptively choose TCM before your first photo!
Hi, thanks for all the great info on everything Godox. I do have a problem with the TCM function, and several people have mentioned it, where it does not convert the light power accurately at all, but grossly underexposes compared to TTL. Any ideas as to why this happens and what I could be doing wrong? Many thanks!
Robert, thanks for the video, i got this trigger a day back, the LCD screen backlight is not switching on, might be a device problem, but still wanted to check here whether is there any other menu apart from the LCD screen which switches the backlight on.
Thnx for all your Videos on Godox, if you aren't being treated by them you should be !!! I have been using Neewer flashes and triggers with my Sony A7's & so far they have been brilliant, no complaints. A new flash came out, the NW630, HSS, TTL, 2.4G etc, I bought one. It doesn't work with the N1Ts (copy of the X1Ts) ! So I asked Neewer the question, Oh no this is a new flash, needs new trigger ! Back on ebay for you... Now bought TT685(S) for my A7 series and TT685(C) for my 5Diii set up. I have had to wait until today (my birthday) for the X pro(s) trigger... It is brilliant ! not only does it fire my Sony TT685, it fires my Canon TT685, so I have two flashes for my Sony. Hang on, Neewer is just rebranded Godox ( * Bright idea ) OMG, it fires my Neewer NW880s & my el cheepo Neewer NW865s manual flash. Next stop ebay, get an xpro for the Canon range of cameras - Loving this even tho not been out of box for more than 5 minutes
Thank you! The English translation in the manual supplied with this is practically gibberish especially to this newbie, even now a year and a half after you made this video,. Seeing how it works is a great help!
Thanks for the video, Rob. Just a small correction regarding the SHOOT menu: Single person icon is for sending the power levels only when you actually set them, Multiple persons icon is for sending the power levels before each shot you take, and the APP mode is for making the trigger just a dumb trigger, since the power levels are set via the app.
Shut up and take my money!!! Thank you so much @Robert. You singlehandedly switched me to the Godox/Flashpoint world. I am so glad I won your extremely generous giveaway because it has made my world much easier. I just purchased the XPLOR 600 so Godox/Flashpoint have you to thank for one extra sale. And I must have this product as well. I have the exact same problems with the X1 as you do so I am super happy about this version. Thanks again and keep it up brother!
Yes this is a much better trigger. Had mine for about a week now and love it. Has a more professional look and feel. Maybe it's me but it just seems to work so much better communicating with rest of the Godox equipment I have. Great job Godox. Thanks Robert for all your reviews.
The ID function exists on all of their units I believe, XT-1 has it in func 11. Basically it's a Wireless ID, which if you set it will only trigger units using the same ID. You can consider it similar to a password in combination with the Channel. I doubt it's highly secure, I'm sure if you sniff the 2.4gHz channel you can figure out what someone is using. But it adds a little complexity and reduces chances you will accidentally trigger some other persons Godox units, and vice versa. I personally set a Wireless ID and Channel that are not the default, and should never run into issues theoretically, even though the chance was slim on defaults.
ID mode is common in canon, you must put the same ID number in the trigger and flashes in order to shoot, that way you wont trigger any one`s flashes, I use to use 005 in all my canon flashes cuz it was my lucky number
Thank you for all the effort you put into all the videos that you make. Very appreciative. I A small town photo journalist mainly photographing high school sports and now transitioning into location lighting. I recently bought 3 AD200s And the flash trigger that you had in your video. Found it very informative. Thank you again.
No. It has to do with number of photographers using the lighting system. What would change with the trigger based on how many subjects are in the image?
Thanks, Robert, I’m new to TH-cam, so I’m not sure I am replying in the right place. Yes and yes. Just found that there is a firmware update to address the TCM function being under-exposed when converting to Manual. I still need to update. I’ll let you know the results. Thanks
Love the locks, but if they are going to use pot metal or plastic for the lever, give me the ring; as I’ve had a couple break. Give me a simple metal lock.
The AF assist is a main feature to have, and the only reason I still put a speedlight on top of my camera for wedding work. I can't rely on the built-in focus lamp in Nikon bodies.
Great overview, Robert. Really. Lots of info about the menu system and basic functions. I wish that I could find a video about actually using the R2pro with the R2 receiver firing a speedlight in manual mode like what settings to have the speedlight in along with the R2pro.
Awesome walk-through Rob. Thanks! I came late to the studio strobe game, but luckily started with Godox and you are a great sounding board. Keep it up!
On the new XPro for Fuji it seems like the Zoom is a Tap and the Channel is a Long Press (opposite of what yours is doing). I agree, I like it that way much better.
exactly, if you have another photographer using same set up as yours but not with you, just set an ID (and for your 2nd shooter) and when you fire, the other dude's flash won't and the other guys apart from yourself and your 2nd/3rd shooters (if you have them) your flashes won't fire unless you actually trigger them. Chances though of that happening, especially at a wedding so remote as I don't bother.
Multi mode is to do with strobe effect, it's in the X1 as well. You tell the flash hous many flashes and at what speed to strobe, used for creative effect in longer exposures to catch movement . So maybe you want 20 pops over a 2 second exposure, you tell it 10 at the rate of 5 per second etc. The ID is so that if more than one photographer is on a specific radio channel, they can have different ID so as not to trigger each other's units
I know what stroboscopic mode is. Thats built in outside of the custom functions. The ID stood out because it's not on anything else, so it looks like this will be added via firmware for other products / future products. The multi I referenced in custom functions is indeed designed to help you control how it behaves when multiple photographers/cameras are triggering the same group of lights.
The only thing I can think of is they may be retrospectively going to add firmware updates to other stuff, makes no sense to be on the transmitter alone. It's so long since I got my 699's and the X1 I don't recall if I had to set a radio channel, I must look am curious now 😂😂
Today I have updated both V860ll for Nikon and both are able to work with IDs. Not the same for AD200. Maybe later. But found problem with alt masking. When trying to operate with X1TN or X pro N, both worked ok only for the first time till I switched to mk2. From that moment AD200 operates only with mk2, it means it flashes only at the second press even in mk1. But when I press the flash button on AD200 it works ok. But I have only one AD200 at this moment.
Thank you so much for this video. Do you have one that show how to make this trigger work with the flash. I know there is a manual for the flash but their manual is horrible.
SOS , please help , I have X pro(s) Godox ad360 XTR16 (2.4 GHz) I can shot but can't change power on flash from Xpro Should I change some settings on Xpro or any solution Please Thanks
Thank you Robert for this video it was helpful trying how to use hypersinc with my Nikon D750 and the xpro control was for me a little confusing but thanks to your video I'd solve it!
The fact that AF assist doesn't apply to continuous focus makes NO sense to me. I am sure it's not isolated to this particular unit. However, why can't the AF assist just turn on when your focus system turns on. As in when the continuous focus is used - the AF assist SHOULD turn on as long as your focus button is depressed and in turn helping the camera focus in low light. That is the point of having it - it should apply to any focus mode you use. It happens BEFORE the camera actually locks on focus so it shouldn't matter. ANYWAY - fantastic video as always Robert - your reviews and product run-throughs are the best out there. Always full of detail and pros and cons from the real world. That is what we need !! Thanks for all of your work.
Af-c is designed to constantly track focus as long as the button is being held, while Capture is at any point. How could it accurately know when to anticipate your image capture and turn off the AF-assist beam. It might work if you have the focus hold on it’s longest setting but even then you are talking about millisecond gaps to shoot during. There’s simply no way for it to avoid being problematic. For me, as a back button shooter when I’m using AF-C I hold it down the entire time even as I take shots, so the grid would never have the opportunity to turn off. I just don’t think there’s a way to make it work for all shooters
Hi, Can you help me? How can I activate the laser for auto focus of the Godox XPro-S? Before I had the Godox XT1-S and the laser worked perfectly for auto focus but with the Godox XPro-S I could not activate it. Thanks.
looks cool! would have been nice if you have angled the transmitter so that the screen glare was not so much. hard to make out what it says. thanks for the video though!
The display cover on mine (XPro-S) was soft as chalk, even my camera bag inserts scratched it. My Sony a9 intermittently would give me a warning that I was using an incompatible device.
6:34 Hey Rob. Does the app setting mean that I can trigger my lights with my iPhone 11 Pro using the Godox Photo app and my R2 Pro.?? I really don’t want to have to buy that tiny dim Profoto C1 Plus for 5 hundred bucks.
Hello! Been observing that he Godox AD 600B (Firmware version 2.4) with Fuji X1T F communicates perfectly on Manual mode/HSS but strangely does not communicate in TTL mode. Meaning the manual tweaking (+- 0.3/0.7 s) on the transmitter does not change the reading on the flash. Is this normal? The transmitter is updated to the latest version 3. and the flash is on ver. 2.4. If I read right, the FECs for TTL are independent values and can be controlled either from the camera/trigger or the flash itself. A change to either two simultaneously would add up as a sum of the adjustments and not stand as individual tweaks. For example, if I change +1 on the trigger and it accentuates to another +1 on the flash through wireless the total would add up to 2 stops. I could be wrong. Kindly explain .Also, does the TCM take care of this issue to an extent with the new X PRO series trigger? Thanks
I am having a similar problem with my Cannon 5D Mark III. It was working before, but not now, and I can't figure out what setting I changed. I can control the exposure for Manual, but it stopped working for TTL for some reason. I've checked the channel and group. But when I change the setting on the ProX trigger, it doesn't change on the flash. I can change the mode from the trigger, but not the exposure. It will test fire from the trigger as well, it just won't change the exposure setting when it's set to TTL. Anyone know how to get it to work again?
One of my biggest gripes with Godox on-camera flashes and triggers is the strew type fastener. Coming from the Canon line, I love the locking mechanism. Do you find the flashes and triggers coming loose over time? Is it a solid, stable connection, given the fastener is tightened adequately?
Great video. I have the x pro c and initially worked great. After about 2-3 months the trigger worked hit and miss using the shutter on the camera. I was pulling my hair out to fix it. I found that licking the base of the trigger before putti it on the camera and it works! I suspect something not making a good connection. Could be the pin that drops down when you turn down the locking wheel. Have you heard of anything like this or suggest a fix?
If you are in ttl mode and you adjust flash compensation on the camera what does that do if anything to the fec the remote uses to send to the flash? If you change the fec on the remote and the camera what does it use as your setting?
Gotta agree with all your improvement suggestions (except for the hot shoe quick release, they're generally too wobbly for my liking). Great video, thanks for the info, can't wait till this is out for Fuji!
Because a Nikon camera can't trigger the AF assist beam on a Canon shoe since the pins don't align or communicate the same way. Ports are for sync to camera or flash (3.5mm) and firmware (USB)
Just find your channel and watched this video, I didn’t read all the comments but might be helpful if I add something about the ID on the menu, it’s a subchannel to make sure nobody around you using godox shots your flashes.
I'm trying to figure out how to use the xPro as a wireless shutter trigger with my X1R and also use my AD200 Pro as off camera flash. I can't seem to figure out how to set that up. If it's even possible or if I need to get another trigger.
Actually if you want to talk about copying this is almost a straight copy of the Phottix Odin II but with a better looking screen. Which is a good thing because the Odin II is by far the best radio flash trigger controller as far as usability goes, even better than the pro photo air system IMO.
Super tutorial! Quick Q: The groups, for a single strobe shoot, you only have to worry about A, the other groups are for using multi flash's, is this correct?
I remember reading that the controller doesn't correctly display accurate battery levels - depending on what battery type you use. Can somebody give any info about the batteries we should be using ? Thanks for the help !
You can use whatever you want. If you want the battery meter to be accurate use regular alkalines, but at the end of the day good rechargeable ones will still last longer.
Hi Robert, sorry for the delay in replying, I never got an alert that you had replied. By the way, if you had 2 of these Godox XPro-C units, could you use one of these as a remote control that you hold in your hand to trigger the Xpro on the camera's hot shoe which would in turn fire the flashes ? I'm wondering if that would work....
I don’t have an app option on my R2Pro C. I also have not solve how to make TCM do anything. I did find out that if I move ID out of off position and onto a number no flashes get talked to, freaked me out as I have a wedding to shoot. Still trying to solve do I want to trust til as there is variance some times.
Hello Robert, have been having issues on how to connect my Nikon D7500 with Godox XproC trigger so can i do high speed sync but its not working, please kindly tell me on how i can resolve this... thank you

Same here
Yep.
@3:05 - it is necessary to press SET after changing power setting because it will not be saved. You will still initiate the previous power setting unless you press set for the new setting.
No but then if you hit the dial again it could still change. But, I never hit set.
Robert Hall Photography i mean for example you are using 1/8 power then you want to increase it to 1/4 power, dial it to get 1/4 reading highlighted on trigger then must press set, otherwise you think you’re using 1/4 power already but still 1/8 being fired by flash because you didn’t press set but in the trigger shows 1/4 still highlighted.

On the new XPro for Fuji it seems like the Zoom is a Tap and the Channel is a Long Press (opposite of what yours is doing). I agree, I like it that way much better.
Yeah they updated it via firmware and applied it to the newer models per public demand.
I set my trigger up with my flash! First time I have ever used a trigger before.
I think the "ID" part is used to distinguish yourself from other photographers using the same trigger.
exactly, if you have another photographer using same set up as yours but not with you, just set an ID (and for your 2nd shooter) and when you fire, the other dude's flash won't and the other guys apart from yourself and your 2nd/3rd shooters (if you have them) your flashes won't fire unless you actually trigger them. Chances though of that happening, especially at a wedding so remote as I don't bother.
Yes. I think someone else mentioned that he matches his ID with the light he wants to control
RIP Profoto .... Godox 200AD rocks. Sold my Profoto B1's and never looked back.

Pretty much all the Canon versions use that channel and ID setup.
+derekmackphotography let me rephrase, it's not on anything else Godox. So right now it serves 0 purpose.
The only thing I can think of is they may be retrospectively going to add firmware updates to other stuff, makes no sense to be on the transmitter alone. It's so long since I got my 699's and the X1 I don't recall if I had to set a radio channel, I must look am curious now 😂😂

The fact that AF assist doesn't apply to continuous focus makes NO sense to me. I am sure it's not isolated to this particular unit.
However, why can't the AF assist just turn on when your focus system turns on.
As in when the continuous focus is used - the AF assist SHOULD turn on as long as your focus button is depressed and in turn helping the camera focus in low light. That is the point of having it - it should apply to any focus mode you use. It happens BEFORE the camera actually locks on focus so it shouldn't matter.
ANYWAY - fantastic video as always Robert - your reviews and product run-throughs are the best out there. Always full of detail and pros and cons from the real world.
That is what we need !!
Thanks for all of your work.
Af-c is designed to constantly track focus as long as the button is being held, while Capture is at any point. How could it accurately know when to anticipate your image capture and turn off the AF-assist beam. It might work if you have the focus hold on it’s longest setting but even then you are talking about millisecond gaps to shoot during. There’s simply no way for it to avoid being problematic.
For me, as a back button shooter when I’m using AF-C I hold it down the entire time even as I take shots, so the grid would never have the opportunity to turn off. I just don’t think there’s a way to make it work for all shooters
Are there any videos that can help with how to expose correctly or lighting tips using trigger settings?

Great video as usual, and great trigger too !
Hi, Can you help me? How can I activate the laser for auto focus of the Godox XPro-S? Before I had the Godox XT1-S and the laser worked perfectly for auto focus but with the Godox XPro-S I could not activate it. Thanks.
Can one unit be used to trigger my speed lights and also do a shutter release?
looks cool! would have been nice if you have angled the transmitter so that the screen glare was not so much. hard to make out what it says. thanks for the video though!
The display cover on mine (XPro-S) was soft as chalk, even my camera bag inserts scratched it. My Sony a9 intermittently would give me a warning that I was using an incompatible device.
Great informative video thank you. I have the older 860 and 850 (N) models, but I’m REALLY tempted by the new 860.
6:34 Hey Rob. Does the app setting mean that I can trigger my lights with my iPhone 11 Pro using the Godox Photo app and my R2 Pro.?? I really don’t want to have to buy that tiny dim Profoto C1 Plus for 5 hundred bucks.
Hello!
Been observing that he Godox AD 600B (Firmware version 2.4) with Fuji X1T F communicates perfectly on Manual mode/HSS but strangely does not communicate in TTL mode. Meaning the manual tweaking (+- 0.3/0.7 s) on the transmitter does not change the reading on the flash. Is this normal? The transmitter is updated to the latest version 3. and the flash is on ver. 2.4. If I read right, the FECs for TTL are independent values and can be controlled either from the camera/trigger or the flash itself. A change to either two simultaneously would add up as a sum of the adjustments and not stand as individual tweaks. For example, if I change +1 on the trigger and it accentuates to another +1 on the flash through wireless the total would add up to 2 stops. I could be wrong. Kindly explain .Also, does the TCM take care of this issue to an extent with the new X PRO series trigger? Thanks
I am having a similar problem with my Cannon 5D Mark III. It was working before, but not now, and I can't figure out what setting I changed. I can control the exposure for Manual, but it stopped working for TTL for some reason. I've checked the channel and group. But when I change the setting on the ProX trigger, it doesn't change on the flash. I can change the mode from the trigger, but not the exposure. It will test fire from the trigger as well, it just won't change the exposure setting when it's set to TTL. Anyone know how to get it to work again?
Great video thanks!
Any clue as to why the battery level is never full even though the batteries are fully charge?
It’s a problem with the voltage of rechargeable AAs. Use standard AAs and it’s fine.
SOLD!!!
Great improvement from X1T series! Waiting for the Fuji series.
One of my biggest gripes with Godox on-camera flashes and triggers is the strew type fastener. Coming from the Canon line, I love the locking mechanism. Do you find the flashes and triggers coming loose over time? Is it a solid, stable connection, given the fastener is tightened adequately?
I do find that on my V860 and X1. I'm waiting to judge the XPro when I get a Nikon specific model.
Great video. I have the x pro c and initially worked great. After about 2-3 months the trigger worked hit and miss using the shutter on the camera. I was pulling my hair out to fix it. I found that licking the base of the trigger before putti it on the camera and it works! I suspect something not making a good connection. Could be the pin that drops down when you turn down the locking wheel. Have you heard of anything like this or suggest a fix?
Brilliant overview. Thanks dude!
My Xpro-c in Manual mode, even at 1/128 is WAY overexposed using my TT685 flashes (canon 5D mkiv). In ETTL mode, the flash/trigger work fine.
check your firmware.
I just order one of this to use my two V1 godox off camera.
Eventually I am adding a 200pro as well.
What do you think? 😀
Sir I have small doubt.. if I use godox X pro N trigger for canon mark iv camera.. what is the problem sir
Do you know when this will release for Sony?
+Stharrison85 no announcement yet.
Me too .... I am interested to know, when the new Godox XPro (XPro-C) is realeased for SonyCameras ...
Michael-Gabriel DeShay I just ordered mine off of Amazon although shipping date for the Sony trigger is end of February.
If you are in ttl mode and you adjust flash compensation on the camera what does that do if anything to the fec the remote uses to send to the flash? If you change the fec on the remote and the camera what does it use as your setting?
Feb 3, 2018 and still waiting for my pro-ordered Sony Version. A long wait.
You and me both!
Yes
Looks like the Profoto trigger, nice!!
Gotta agree with all your improvement suggestions (except for the hot shoe quick release, they're generally too wobbly for my liking).
Great video, thanks for the info, can't wait till this is out for Fuji!
Do you know if the one for cannon would work on the EOS rebel t6?
That is so cool - I'm excited!
@RobertHallPhotography, why didn't you actually show the assist beam? What is the cable that goes into the port on the side?
Because a Nikon camera can't trigger the AF assist beam on a Canon shoe since the pins don't align or communicate the same way.
Ports are for sync to camera or flash (3.5mm) and firmware (USB)
Very clear presentation. Thanks!
Sir can you plz tell me which trigger i should buy for godox ad 600 pro?
This one.
Robert Hall Photography thnk u sir.. So this trigger will work in New godox ad 600 pro as u said
Would love an option to adjust the power by 1/10 increments like the Cactus V6 and V6II.
They have this on the Godox XT32 as well
Just find your channel and watched this video, I didn’t read all the comments but might be helpful if I add something about the ID on the menu, it’s a subchannel to make sure nobody around you using godox shots your flashes.
I'm trying to figure out how to use the xPro as a wireless shutter trigger with my X1R and also use my AD200 Pro as off camera flash. I can't seem to figure out how to set that up. If it's even possible or if I need to get another trigger.
i can't see SYNC on the display of the trigger godox xpro? It does not appear to me. Can you help me?
May I ask what is the button next to the off button use for maybe you mentioned it but I missed it if you did thanks.
AF assist beam.
@@robhallphoto Automatic Focus?
Nice new intro. Very informative video as always. Thanks for making them. ^_^
Great review. How much will it cost?
$70 us
Thanks
Actually if you want to talk about copying this is almost a straight copy of the Phottix Odin II but with a better looking screen. Which is a good thing because the Odin II is by far the best radio flash trigger controller as far as usability goes, even better than the pro photo air system IMO.
+josh885 definitely, I loved the Phottix Odin II as well as the Cactus V6. Certainly don’t mind Godox drawing inspiration there.
Your showing a Nikon camera while reviewing the model for Canon?
does the visual of a Nikon camera somehow affect the understanding of the trigger's capabilities?
It depends on who is watching!
really don't know how someone could mistake it when it's addressed that I don't shoot Canon and this is a Canon version.
I am using an AD300 Strobe. So Which one should I choose 200, 360 or 600 on TCM?
Super tutorial! Quick Q: The groups, for a single strobe shoot, you only have to worry about A, the other groups are for using multi flash's, is this correct?
You can put a single light in any group your want.
Hello, does it works with no godox flashes? Thank you.
I remember reading that the controller doesn't correctly display accurate battery levels - depending on what battery type you use. Can somebody give any info about the batteries we should be using ? Thanks for the help !
You can use whatever you want. If you want the battery meter to be accurate use regular alkalines, but at the end of the day good rechargeable ones will still last longer.
Hi Robert, sorry for the delay in replying, I never got an alert that you had replied. By the way, if you had 2 of these Godox XPro-C units, could you use one of these as a remote control that you hold in your hand to trigger the Xpro on the camera's hot shoe which would in turn fire the flashes ? I'm wondering if that would work....
I don’t have an app option on my R2Pro C. I also have not solve how to make TCM do anything. I did find out that if I move ID out of off position and onto a number no flashes get talked to, freaked me out as I have a wedding to shoot. Still trying to solve do I want to trust til as there is variance some times.
Hello Robert, have been having issues on how to connect my Nikon D7500 with Godox XproC trigger so can i do high speed sync but its not working, please kindly tell me on how i can resolve this... thank you
Hit sync on trigger so HSS is active. Turn Auto FP on in camera. That's it.
Just found your channel. Love it!
