Do you prefer off camera or on camera flash?
It depends .. 🤭
what if i need both at once? 🤒
@@vipersrt30 Use the V1 to fire as on-camera flash, and use it to control up to four groups of off-camera flashes.
@@eumxmo well of course lol
@@vipersrt30 unacceptable lol.🤣
Omg I've had my V1, the X2T the AD200 for almost a year and this is the ONLY video that has broken down EVERY STEP to use it easily. And it's the first one I've seen that talked about ID's which was the issue with why I couldn't get mine to work. Definitely sharing this video with others to use!!
This is amazing! Thank you so much for letting me know! Glad it got all worked out!
Thanks for sharing this video. I just got my AD300Pro as my 2nd light last night and I was so confused on how to connecting them both😂 and now I know. Thanks a lot.
thats awesome!
You are a rockstar. I got all my Godox flashes synched. Couldn't get my V1 Synched. Watched your tutorial and… I had to switch over to the orange screen on my flash. Now it works. Thank you. Super helpful.
That’s awesome dude! Great to hear! Now go take some kick ass photos :)
@@willsimpsonphoto Got the Godox AD200 and the AD400 but wanted something small and light when I am in a pinch and need some light. ;) Thanks for your excellent channel. ;)
@@dirk7593 no problem!
Thank you so much! Seriously, I don’t understand why the manufacturer not even included this information in their instructions manual! Thank you very much for this video to save all of the videographers!
Hahah you’re welcome! How cool would that be if Godox featured my video 😄
Godox should feature your video. They have great products but lousy instructions.@@willsimpsonphoto
I started with a on camera flash that I since took off and placed onto stand. Bought my first Godox 400 watt flash to use with my Godox V1 till I can afford a 2nd flash. You were the go to and had set up in minutes. Thanks
I freaking love it!
This video just saved me a return. I just got an AD2000 pro and couldn't for the life of me figure out why my XPro wouldn't trigger it, but triggered my TT350 just fine. I was about to give up. Turns out the F7 ID was set to off but the XPro ID was set to 81. Changed the AD200 ID to 81 as well and now everything flashes perfectly. Thanks!
I love it! That ID thing can be so helpful sometimes but if you don't know about it can be a mind f**k lol! Glad you got it worked out.
You saved me! I wasn’t understanding why my ad400 would sync with the trigger but not the ad200. It was the IDs!! Thank!
Those ID numbers are so annoying if you don't know about them. They've got me every time lol
Excellent. Thanks for helping me connect my x2ts transmitter to my ad200 pro by syncing the id.
awesome!
Man... thank you for sharing this. I was literally stressed, I have the godox v1,ad200 and the evolve 200. I was able to get both the v1 and ad200 connected but not the evolv 200 to connect to the xpro transmitter. After watching this video I am now up and running. It's been 2 weeks of trying to figure this thing out
Yeah man! This is awesome! I went through the exact same thing 😂Hence the video lol
Hi i cannot thank you enough for the ID tip on godox AD200, thank you
@@kihowoo no prob 😃
You saved my life with that explanation of the channels… ufff.. thanks
Haha you got it! 💪
Thank you! For such an detailed and quick tutorial. Just purchased 2 AD200pro's and I was already using the Xpro trigger, with my Nikon off camera flashes...I wanted to upgrade and figured go full wireless to save on some AA's
That’s awesome dude! Thanks for letting me know! It’s an awesome set up for sure
Thank you so much for breaking this down step by step. It was so helpful for my brain to see it this way. Thank you!!!!!
you're very welcome :)
This is the only video in the internet that explains this. Thanks
Wooot! No problem :)
Thank you!!!!!!! Trying to learn how to use off camera flash I just got what you have here, this was very helpful
Awesome! Let me know if you run into any difficulties :)
Will, that was very helpful. I have the exact setup you were demonstrating. Very straight forward. Thank you very much!
Nice!!!! I love the R5 set up with the v1 and transmitter!
Thank you for this video! It was easy to follow along. Also thanks for talking about the ID. Other people don’t.
No problem! The ID is the tricky one but so good to know!
Just what I was looking for, thank you
youre welcome :)
Saved this in a playlist for if I’m ever on set and can’t get them to connect again 😅
Haha! Excellent! Love the scramble at shoots when something doesn’t go right. Happens to me all the time 😂
Thank you. There is a lot to learn here so this was helpful.
Yes! So much! Glad it helped :)
Thanks for the F7 for the ID setup, I was missing that on my AD200.....
No problem :)
Omgosh you saved me from pulling my hair out, THANK YOU ❤️✌🏻
Ooof! You’re very welcome! Can’t have you balding over this silly thing 😄
THANK YOU! - the id held me back and i couldt figure it out for so long :D
Awesome! Glad you got it worked out
Outstanding! Thanks so much a very clear explanation on using these together.
Of course :)
thank you thank you! I was going mad trying to sort it. I unknowingly changed my ID channel. You got a sub from me!
Thats awesome! Glad it got worked out!

Do you have a video on how to adjust the power in manual mode off camera? It seems different with the flash on vs using the trigger. This trigger is also extremely confusing!
check out this video: ua-cam.com/video/7x_WRLbfhxQ/v-deo.html
This video answered my questions thank you
love it!
Thanks a lot
Yeah man! 😄
hello sir, noob question, can i use the Godox Xpro TLL Flash Trigger to Godox E300? thank you for the wonderful tutorial it help me a lot
I’m not familiar with the e300 but I don’t see why not as long as you have it connected properly. If unsure, you can message godox on their website and ask to get a definite answer.
Great video; thanks for sharing. I have same set up as you. BTW, are you going to puchase the new Xnano ($89) trigger that will be available end of Jan or stick with the XPro?
Haha maybe, but I hadn’t heard about it until you commented 😂 looks like I’ll need to look into it now
Great job! Thanks
No problem! :)
Does this setup work the same if you sub out the ad200 for a 600?
It should. I haven’t personally used the 600 but I don’t see what it wouldn’t.
Do you have one just for the AD200. I have it synced but it the power doesn’t change when I change it on the transmitter
you mean one transmitter? Yes, im just using the XproC on camera and it fires both the Ad200 and the V1 at the same time. I have them each in their own groups so I can adjust them individually but they are both on the same channel with ID turned off on both flashes and the transmitter.
This video doesn’t have enough likes 👍
Haha! You’re my hero! 😍😄
So clutch thank you!!!
Awesome! 💪
I use Canon flashes with transmitter. When on shoots I use Canon utility software to control the camera settings and the flash settings. Will the Godox work with this software ?
not sure, never worked through Canon Utility software, would be a good question to contact godox about.
Hello, could you help me with some suggestions. I am looking to get the Godox AD 200pro or Canon 600 EX ii flash. Which would you recommend for outdoor? Thank you.
From what I saw when I looked up the Canon, it is a speedlight not just an off camera. Both would work for outside, however the AD200 will not be able to use on top of the camera, it always will need a transmitter. If you plan on using the flash on camera, then go with the Canon EX, but if you want an off camera with modifier, go with AD200
Can we trust this guy ? He calls the hot shoe mount a thingy . Come on my friend . LOL
You definitely can't trust me. 😂 But wait, you mean to tell me "Thingy" isn't the industry standard name....? Well, I never would have thought.
@@willsimpsonphoto thanks for the videos my friend and your channel
@@nightstringers no problem! And stay tuned for more random names of things 😂
Thank you for this!! Flash has always confused me. From connecting to settings, it's literally been hindering me because I'm overwhelmed. This definitely cleared things up. Is the basic process the same for more inexpensive flashes?
to be perfectly honest, im not sure about the cheaper flashes. The V1 was only about $275 and for what you're getting it's an amazing deal. It was either that one or the Profoto flash which runs $1000 or more... lol. I went with Godox... 😂
But if I had to take a guess, it would be similar if not the same. The Channels, IDs and Groups are definitely used throughout though so its good to understand those terms
@@willsimpsonphoto I hear Godox and immediately think expensive lol! I went and looked and it's absolutely affordable for everything included. I have the V1 in my cart along with the transmitter 😁
@@alainarobinson4902 hahaha there you go! I also included all the links in the description of this video. Make sure you get the right transmitter and flash for your camera brand.
Can you connect a V1 flash light to a godox receiver to trigger another flash light?
I know that most if not all godox brand flashes and triggers can sync. I am not 100% sure if they will work with other brands as well though.
@willsimpsonphoto the V1 flash is meant to trigger the godox receiver. Since it's godox to godox ?
thank you for your tutorial, but once the V1 is set as a master and firing at the same time, how do you control it's power? i can only make it shoot or not but i cant control it's power. i can only control the external groups
when the V1 is being used as a transmitter it is automatically in group A. So when you adjust the power for group A you are adjusting the V1 that is acting as master. I have a video coming out tomorrow that helps explain this.
Hi Will, I have the XPro and V1 for Sony, when I use the flash handheld with the trigger for dancing I have to have it almost at full power but then if I put the flash on the camera for the same effect / power visual output I have to dial it back to like 1/128. Any tips on why that could be?
when the flash is off camera, generally its farther away and not as much bounce. when on camera, the flash is right at the person, usually closer thus less power. sounds normal to me. Im aways adjusting power/camera settings as things change
Informative
Thank you
No problem!
Thank you but my channel group and ID is the same and on TTL.. did everything you said but it doesn't flash :( anyone else having the same issue?
two things to check, first, did you get compatible devices. for example, if you're using a Canon camera, is your flash and transmitter both a C model. V1c and XproC, etc.
second, when you adjust the flash power on the transmitter does the flash change.
So I don’t think you mentioned this. When the V1 is mounted on my camera can I make the V1 not go off but the V1 transmits to the ad200 for that to go off. For example I’ll take one picture with just the V1 flash. I’ll then walk to the back of the room and want just the ad200 to flash. Mainly because I don’t want to take off the V1 and mount the Xpro just to use the ad200 across the room. Can it do that?
yes, i actually figured this out after I made this video. Totally by accident as well because I was at a shoot and my V1 on camera wasn't going off but my V1 on a stand was and I thought I was going crazy lol.
In the menu of the V1 thats on camera, scroll down to TX. You will see two V1 icons. One with three lines in front of it, one without. When you have the one selected with the lines, the V1 will fire, along with any slave flashes it is transmitting too.
If you turn it to the icon without the lines, the slave flashes will fire but the transmitter V1 (on camera) won't fire.
Hope this helps :)
@@willsimpsonphoto you’re awesome! You got a sub from me!
@@BofusTV Wooot! Let’s go!!! Welcome :)
Hello Will, I have a question regarding the XPros trigger. I tried to do a undate, and trigger will not come back on. I installed the wrong firmware!!!
I'd recommend getting in touch with Godox. go to their website and there should be a contact form.
Ok quick question if I wanna use an ad200 as my main flash and a speedlight as a rim light etc do I set them in the same group but if I wanna change the rim light power would it change the strobe one too?
Put them in different groups. That way you can change them individually. If you have them in same group they’ll change as one.
@@willsimpsonphoto will they both fire if in different groups ?
@@herondelacerda if you have both groups turned on from the trigger, yes.
Ive got a question regarding the v1 (in my case together with the t2x). If I'm triggering the flash using the remote trigger, does the flash has to be in ttl and the trigger sets the flash power? Im a bit confused cause I can set ttl in the trigger but the flash in manual and vise vera. Shouldn't these to be in sync regarding whether they use manual flash power or TTL?
Thanks in advance for any help!
Im not 100% sure using the T2x as I haven't used that particular one. But from what I understand, if your trigger is in TTL then your Flash should be as well and same with manual.
@@willsimpsonphoto Thank you very much! In the meantime I have realized my mistake. However, after firing the flash it had switched to the shutter release setting, I just should have gone through the whole thing cleanly - my bad!
In the course of this, however, I noticed that the flash behaves differently in TTL, depending on whether it is on the camera or is used via the shutter release. If it is directly on the camera I can turn it as I want (to bounce), the exposure is always correct. But as soon as I have the shutter on the camera, the image is massively underexposed, leaving me more than 2 stops short of light in some cases. The whole thing is not consistent, though, so I could always set a compensation of 2 stops, for example. If I point the flash in a different direction, the deviation is different again. Of course, this makes the use of TTL somewhat "pointless", although I am dependent on TTL at events, because the lighting situations change constantly and I can not make a test shot with each person first.
Am I simply overlooking something here, or is this a flaw in my specimen? As soon as I flash manually (whether on or off camera) the output is identical. It is only when using TTL that the exposure is not correct when flashing off camera (of course with fully manual camera settings and no flash compensation in Camera).
Sorry for asking and thanks in advance. :)
Can't seem to find anything definitive in the mk iii or V1 online manual regarding groups. How many groups are available in the V1 / mk iii when set to slave mode and off camera? The mk ii only has A-C or M when the flash unit is set on camera as a controller.
I believe the V1 has A-E, so 5 groups. I am not sure about the Mkiii.
@@willsimpsonphoto thanks so much - I've had a heck of time tracking that down. Seems that aside from shape, the 5 group vs 3 group difference is selling point that doesn't get mentioned in comparisons when justifying the price jump from the mkii to V1 and mkiii
2 x ad200 pro with xpro trigger and sonya7iii will work smoothly?
Should work fine as long as you get the Sony trigger. I’m a canon user but I don’t see why it would work any differently as long as you got the proper transmitter.
why dont work the v1 on stativ if xpro is on my sony? if i make a photo the flash dont flash..
Not sure. Make sure the channels, groups and ID are all right. If that’s the case not sure why.
Thank you.
Anytime :)
I need a bit of help I have an R5, XProC, and a godox ad200. No matter how much I try I can not for the life of me get the flash to work properly. It doesn’t matter if I’m in Manual, ttl, using high speed sync when I’m over 1/250th the flash will 50% of the time fire but the photo will either be completely dark or the bottom half will be exposed and then the top half completely dark. I know the trigger works because the flash button on the trigger will make the flash fire so it is syncd properly. Am I missing an option in the camera menu that I need to enable/disable? It’s been weeks now and no one can seem to help me and im starting to lose my mind over this I even rented an additional camera to see if my R5 is faulty and it just came today and is still doing the same thing my R5 is doing. If you can give me any sort of insight I would truly appreciate it!
Hey Colin, sorry for the late reply. Couple of things sounds like it could be happening:
When you're getting the "half dark/Half light" the shutter is too high and the high speed sync is not active. Double check that the Flash has High speed sync enable. It should be H(with a lighting bolt) - i think, not the three arrows. That's two different modes.
When you are using HSS you need to use a high flash power because of the high shutter.
To get some more info, what are you taking photos of? A subject, a room or something else? Depending on what you're trying to take a photo of, the flash might not be enough to illuminate the item. Check out this video as well, I use a headshot example and using the AD200 and V1: might help with the set up: ua-cam.com/video/mi-TKXYFPIw/v-deo.html
valuavble set up but even though my trigger and flash are on the same channel and ID there is no flash ... something i can look at?
hmmm not sure. When you press the Trigger button on the trigger does the flash go off?
Same here. When I press the trigger from the V1C it fires my ad200pro but when I press the shutter, it only fires the V1C.
Thanks for the video. I have the Godox V1c (just got it) and a Godox X1tc (about 3 years old...works with my old flash). However, the V1c & transmitter are on the same channel but when I press the TEST button on the transmitter......the V1c does not fire. Do I need a new transmitter in order to fire the V1c?
I did a little research and it looks like it is not compatible with the V1. I looked at the item on B&H and looked at compatibility and the V1c was not on the list.
Here was the website: www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1341964-REG/godox_x1t_c_ttl_remote_controller.html/compatibility
hi, I have the same transmitter and a ad200 pro but I was trying to set it 1/256 on the transmitter, it was impossible
if you email godox they might be able to help. I think there's a setting on it but not 100% sure.
I have a question so can I have 2 cameras connected to one flash?
Yep, I had both the godox ad200 and 2 V1s connected to the transmitter at some points.
The answer is still yes, but both cameras will need a transmitter.
How would you trigger the shutter on a Sony A7III while holding a AD200 50 feet away from camera?
A remote trigger would do it. As long as transmitter and flash is linked as well it should work the same as if you pressed the shutter.
@@willsimpsonphoto do you have an example of a product I could hold with the AD200 to remote shutter release?
@@tytlyf not sure what you mean. You’d need to press the remote trigger yourself.
Hello, Will. Headshots should be cropped 8x10? Or what size?
generally yes, standard is 8x10. But this is not a firm rule. If the client wants something different, then go for it
@@willsimpsonphoto ok, thank you. Then I will ask a client in case 👍🏻.
Grazie.
Thanks! 😄
How to set the ID on the Godox SK400 II V?
Not sure, never used that one. Google it and you should find something on it.
Excellent
yeah man!
How do you adjust group on transmitter???
depends which screen you're on. If you're on the individual screen where it shows:
A M ( flash mode)
Power
Then at the bottom of the screen youll see "Gr"
Click the button below it to adjust.
If you're in the screen where it shows all the Groups on the left side
A
B
C
D
etc.
Click the button on the left of the group you want to select.
To toggle between these two screens, press the bottom right button under the TCM/+ marking.
Can you connect the Godox AD200 directly to the transmitter?
You mean the godox ad200 with the xpro? Yes. Same method. Just make sure they’re in same group and ID number if you’re using one.
@@willsimpsonphoto ok thanks, need to pull the trigger on it, my speedlight finally crapped out
@@scottcarterstudios8665 its been super good to me so i would say go for it
I'm using v1c and ad200 for canon camera
I want to take new camera sony the flash will work to sony camera
im not sure if the "c" will work on the sony or not. The ad200 will be fine with the proper transmitter for sony but not sure about the v1c, you might have to get the Sony version.
Which will use for the both canon and Sony
@@nanichinni7130 not sure if there is.
I notice that the fec adjustment on the xpro does not appear on the display of the ad200 pro.
Do you also have to do this on the ad200 pro itself?
I’m not sure what you mean. The FEC?

i have a question ,
When i use my godox ad 200 with two flashes it crossfires how to stop that?
i am a wedding photographer i work along with another photographer who is using that same flash and even when i have my ad200(Group-A)
off it still fires or vice versa
put your IDs on. If your ID is different than the other photographers it shouldnt cross fire.
@@willsimpsonphoto but we both want to use that same flash and sometimes it is fine sometime it crossfires
@@Frosty-gaming if you both want to use the same flash then that is what’s gonna happen. If you’re both synced to the same groups and ids, you’ll get cross fire.
In order to not get cross fire you have to adjust the ids and or groups so they’re not on the same channels.
@@willsimpsonphoto got it i found a solution use two flashes in the same soft box with different adaptor which contains two ad 200 in one same size glow box
Gday what causes my ad200pro to not communicating with my xpro can u help me out
unsure as you didn't really give me any info. However here's what you can check:
1) both on same channel
2) both on same ID
If these are all the same then I'd recommend contacting Godox and having them troubleshoot for you.
@@willsimpsonphoto ok
i have a godox 685 that i want to use "in case of problems of the xpro trigger" as a trigger to controll another 685 and a ad200pro. Can i use the 685 only as "trigger" without the flash on camera? only as trigger?
I've never used the GODOX 685, however if it can transmit and fire other flashes, then possibly. I know the V1 has the ability, I remember learning about it when my flash wasn't firing and I thought it was broken lol.
On the V1, there is a little icon of the flash with lines coming from it (indicating light). In the menus, there is an option to turn this "on" or "off.
If the flash is there but not the lines, the flash will trigger your other flashes but will not trigger itself. If the lines are there, all will fire.
Im not sure if the 685 has the ability, but worth checking out. Hope this helps.
@willsimpsonphoto what if you have one v1 and 2 ad200's?
shouldn't be a problem. Connect them as described and shoot to your hearts desire... or until the batteries on the flashes die lol
Thank you sir!
hi im newbie here... What are the function of transmitter like X2T if this V1 speedlite alone can act as master to other speedlites? when is the situation we need a transmitter? is V1 can act as master to many slaves? or only 1slave?
The v1 can act as a master to multiple speed lights or strobes. It just needs to be set properly into transmit mode and groups and ids set properly
@@willsimpsonphoto so what are purpose for X2T?
@@ulyssessait if you don’t need or want a flash on camera. It’s a lot lighter than the flash. Lots of times at weddings I have the transmitter on camera and 2 V1s placed around. Then, if needed, I can switch a v1 on camera and still fire the other v1 with it. Versatility for whatever situation you’re in.

do you have it on the right channel, and right ID number (if ID is on at all)? That's the first thing to check . Also is your transmitter the right for your camera. For example if you have a canon it should have a C on the trigger. Like XProC
@@willsimpsonphoto yes I have it on the right channel but the ID is off
@@willsimpsonphoto the trigger is the correct I have been using for while but since I fix the power button the trigger stop working with the ad200pro
@@orlandowolfe5727 not sure what you mean by “fix the power” button?
@@willsimpsonphoto I meant the power switch
Awsome Alex. I cant even believe this Video is free.💯💯✅Quick Question Alex.. so if i have 2 or more flashes on same channel but different groups can they still fire at same time?
Well firstly names Will 😂 but I guess I can be Alex for this video. 😂😂 to answer your question, yes, on the transmitter you have the option to turn on and off the groups. If both are on, both flashes will fire, both off, neither will, one on and the other off, only one will fire.
My Apologies Will.😂 Thank you so much. i thought ur flashes will fire only if they in same group & chanel. u just saved a life☺️✅🙏🏽🙏🏽
@@Kingbezy haha no worries! Glad you’re still alive 😂💪
@@willsimpsonphoto Oh yeah..😂 i am. Thanks Will. I admire ur speedy responses. 🔥✊🏾☺️
So I was able to connect my transmitter with my flash. But I couldn’t fire it through my camera 😢
super weird. when you press the "flash button" on the transmitter, does your flash go off?
