    • @Strobepro
      @Strobepro  10 місяців тому +1

      This is the distance indicator display. In TTL mode, when the flash is mounted on the camera, you will see a black bar appear on this display. The bar indicates the usable range of the flash at your current exposure and flash zoom settings. If your subject is closer than the near measurement, the flash won't be able to avoid overexposure. If your subject is beyond the far measurement, the flash is unable to provide adequate exposure at that distance.

    • @dianedouglas3886
      @dianedouglas3886 10 місяців тому

      @@Strobepro thank you- so to compensate for the distance does one have to move or can flash exposure compensation be used? Thinking of being in tight spaces.

    • @Strobepro
      @Strobepro  10 місяців тому

      @@dianedouglas3886 You can either move to within the stated range, or change your camera settings. For example, you might be closer than the minimum range at ISO 6400, but within the acceptable range once you drop to ISO 3200. For everyday kinds of shooting, this will rarely be something you have to think about. If you are not extremely close or extremely far from your subject, the range of power on these flashes can almost always find a proper TTL exposure.

    • @Strobepro
      @Strobepro  2 роки тому +1

      Hi Brett,
      The label for the receiver mode was changed to "Rx" in a firmware update after we published this video. All of the functions are still the same.

  • @popcornparam
    @popcornparam Рік тому +1

    My question is where is the optical slave master setting?? In the v860 ii there use to be a lightning symbol indicating that it's a optical slave master ... If this has radio slave only then y does it have N optical reviver ? .. if it has optical slave control then where is it ?? Y is it not as easy to find just like the v860ii . ???
    Major question is y is the master even firing ah flash in the first place ??? The receiver is not using optical slave when it's in radio mode. So y not just send the signal ?? Y is it firing and wasting my battery ?? ..

    • @Strobepro
      @Strobepro  Рік тому

      The optical master mode available on the V860ii is not available on the V1. Godox seems to be abandoning support for that feature, as it is not on the V860iii either.
      When in the radio master mode, you can change the mode on your master group to off (indicated by the double lines). If your master group is off, it will not flash, and it is still able to send the signal to any enabled groups.
      Two possible areas of confusion:
      1. On the Canon version of the V1, your master does not get its own separate group indicated by M. Your master is always assigned to group A. So if you want to control the master independently, make sure none of your off-camera flashes are assigned to group A.
      2. Even with the master set to off, the test button on the flash will give you a low power flash. The master will not flash when you trigger it through the hotshoe.
      I hope this information helps!

      @Strobepro  5 місяців тому

      Well, we sell the stuff, so you might take this as somewhat biased! But we try our best to be candid.
      We've carried an assortment of other flash brands throughout our history, and Godox is the brand that has made things easiest on our service department. Not saying nothing ever goes wrong, but we're very happy with Godox's flash lineup overall. Happy enough to back it up with our 2-year in-house warranty.
      Even beyond that 2-year period, we can almost always replace components quickly and affordably. Flashes that seem to lose horsepower can sometimes benefit from a new flash tube-or-if any fogging is visible, a new front lens. Fogging hasn't been an issue we've noticed with Godox flashes. They seem to have good heat management and well assigned limits.
      I hope this helps! If you have any other questions, feel free to reach out any time.

    Although this was a great overall tutorial video, you failed to recognise one very important thing. With the Godox V1 and most other Godox flashes - HSS + TTL do not work TOGETHER (they do work individually) on most Canon mirrorless cameras! Selecting HSS + TTL results in the flash annoyingly firing at full power, every shot. Godox has confirmed this is an issue and they haven't been able to overcome it.
    Oddly, it's fine with the Canon RP (Godox put out a firmware update for compatibility issues) and does not work with the EOS R (Godox did 2 firmware updates to supposedly fix compatibility issues with the R). The R7 has the full power with every shot issue.
    I'm hoping it's been fixed on the V1 Pro and X3 C trigger.

    • @Strobepro
      @Strobepro  2 роки тому +1

      Hi Michael,
      Program mode will function in TTL, but there are a lot of moving parts. If you are comfortable, we'd suggest setting a manual exposure with your shutter at or below your sync speed. You can then adjust your aperture as necessary, and TTL will take care of the rest. ISO can be left in auto if you wish! It's just nice to have control of the aperture at the very least so that you can keep groups of people in focus when you need to.

      There are some minor differences between V1 models depending on the supported camera brand. We weren't confident that we had discovered all such minor differences, so we decided to pick just one model for our tutorial. The main difference you'll encounter on the Nikon model is that the "sync" functions can only be managed through the camera and not the flash. Make sure to enable your fastest Auto-FP setting (Menu E: Flash and Bracketing) if you want to use HSS. If you have any questions about the Nikon model, feel free to drop them here!

    Beats my ProFoto A1! Really impressed with the V1's battery design, modeling light, strong magnetic attachment for modifiers, nice clean and functional design and quality build. Thanks!

    Hello, before I buy V 1. Would this flash sync up with tt865n? Both are godox.
    Thank you

      Yes-both use the same radio system.

    There are times it suddenly stops working in the middle of a shoot. And i can't figure out why. Then all it does is make the beep sound when you attempt to make it fire. Any solutions?

      Hi Mathu,
      If you aren't seeing a flash but you're hearing a ready beep, that's likely a problem with the flash tube. Please feel free to reach out to us by email and we'll see if we can help you. If you purchased the flash from us directly, we do offer a 2-year in-house warranty.
