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.
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!
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!
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.
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.
@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.
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!
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?
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.
Thanks, Robert, I’m new to UA-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 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.
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.
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.
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!
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!
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 😂😂
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?
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 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 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.
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 Godox V860iC flash and a DS300 strobe. I'm going to purchase the Godox V860iiC but can I still use the old FT-16 trigger on the 860ii? Or, do I have to purchase this new wireless trigger? Is it worth the upgrade? Again, great video. I love Godox.
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?
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
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
Great video. First time I have come across your channel, so forgive me for this question. Have you done a video showing how to use this system with a flash or multiple flashes? Again, great video.
Hi Robert, you explain the operations of this trigger very clearly and fluently. I am a keen amateur and would like to better my off camera setup. Your video has convinced me to purchase the Godox trigger. However I do have a question for you if you don't mind? At the moment I have a very basic and unreliable trigger system, which is in two parts. One part fits on the camera hotshoe the other part has to be fitted to the speedlight as I am sure will know. With the Godox will I still require a receiver to be attached to the flash/speedlight, if so would you be so good as to list the part? I work with a Canon 7D m2 and the Yongnuo 568 EXii, thank you in anticipation.
If you continue using the Yongnuo YN568, yes you will need a receiver on the flash (Godox X1R). If you get a Godox speedlight, you won’t need a receiver.
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 shoot Nikon. X1-T works awesome. I bought this one for the newer features which make it nice to work with. However, they are not compatible with the first version of the ad360 and no update in sight. Weird how a newer version wouldn't support the light.
Hey great video. Coming from PCB so this is a welcomed upgrade in controllers. Quick couple of questions. Light settings. Is there anyway to store light settings like in the Cybercommander? I want to push a button and have custom settings activate. Also, I ran into HSS trouble where my camera didn't want to go higher than 1/200. Eventually, flicking a few more things I got it to work, but a video describing how to use the HSS and rear curtain would be great. Lastly, what is zoom as it relates to AD600 Pro? It doesn't right? Thanks again.
@@chewbacka1982 Hey there, having purchased this setup, I'm going to guess that you don't have HSS turned on. Look up in the top right-hand corner. Does HSS show? If not, press the sync button until it does. BTW, I'm going from memory so sorry if the details are a bit off.
Robert. Great instructional. Thank you!!! If I'm using mixed lighting, say AD600 on group A and a speedlight 860 or 880 on group B, does that mean that only one can be TCM'd? It seems like you only get to pick one or the other in the TCM set up menu; you can't pick one for each group. Am I right? Thanks again.
Hi Robert. Good videos ! Could you help clarify. I have Nikon cameras and flashguns, a couple of SB800 and couple of SB910 which I used professionally. Also SU800 commander. (PW etc) I recently bought a Fuji XT-2 and watched your video about the Godox so I bought a 685F and X1. Amazing features and price. I am considering a AD200 (bare bulb would help with light spread?) Do I assume the X1 will trigger AD200 from Fuji but do I need to buy a Nikon trigger for my Nikon camera/s. It doesn't seem easy to understand compatibility issue. Is there a general ruling? i.e. every camera need to have a dedicated transmitter. Every Godox product will would from any of there triggers? Will my 685F only work from Fuji buy yet AD200 will would from anything? If I bough a Nikon Xpro tigger would 685F work ??? All a bit confusing.
If you want full functionality, your master (the trigger or speedlight on camera, transmitting to other flashes) has to match the camera. All flashes off camera will convert TTL/HSS signals no matter the brand, provided the firmware is up to date.
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.
Hi Robert, can you safely use a different brand controller on other cameras? Example : trigger for Olympus can be used on Fuji cameras? Thanks for all your help.
Safely, yes. Fully-featured, no. Power control is radio, and firing is done through the center pin so both of those things work. But things like TTL, HSS, Sleep/wake function, AF assist beam are all communicated through the camera-specific pins. So none of that will function if the trigger doesn’t match the camera brand.

Glad it helped you!
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.
I wonder if using the Set button comes into necessary play there.

most cohesive review on this transmitter on UA-cam. Hands Down.
@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.

I have the XPro (N) and I love it, love it love it. Great video by the way.
I love using this unit. Controlling multiple units and individual power settings is an absolute breeze. Excellent "how to" vid 👍
Mine gets delivered thursday. Cannot wait to test it out this weekend.
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!
Thank you! I just started using my xProN that had been gathering dust and needed some instruction.
Thank you - the most comprehensive video on the X Pro I have found.
Under the menu option the option for shoot the one means one subject photography and the three is for multiple people

Bam, just like that at 4:12 you answered my question! Thank you for this tutorial, I'm learning a lot on how to use my trigger.
I think they listened to your suggestion. The one I have changes to Zoom with a single click and Channel with long press.
They did!
I have pre order one. Can't wait to get it.
AMEN to the lock man. They drive me nuts!
Hate hate hate that serious manufacturers still using anything but the lock lever.
This

I like this video very well presented in all the functions of the XPro, nicely done! I was wondering about the ID section myself.

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

Isaac Alonzo Have you tried a D5 or a D500?
Isaac Alonzo Have you tried a D5 or a D500?
D500 yes. why
but that controller doesn't have any AF assist does it ? It's about switching ON/OFF the one from deported flash(es) right ?

Thanks for making these videos, as the manuals are quite vague.
Excellent video, you do a superior job of explaining how it works.

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 😂😂

Is it worth the upgrade?

Great review. How much will it cost?

Thanks
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
Great presentation! Thanks!
Fantastic, thanks
Brilliant overview. Thanks dude!
man you are the GODOX GOD!!!!
Excellent video. Do you have any idea if the AF assist has better coverage over the x1?
Thanks for the videos! Any news or idea when this would release for Nikon?
It's been announced and is available for pre-order, so should be available very soon!
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
I have the same problem, l have sk400 with xtr16 and i can't change the 1/128 to 1.0 :(
Great video. First time I have come across your channel, so forgive me for this question. Have you done a video showing how to use this system with a flash or multiple flashes?
Again, great video.
Check out my video on the Godox X1 or V860ii to show how the system communicates.
Hi Robert, you explain the operations of this trigger very clearly and fluently. I am a keen amateur and would like to better my off camera setup. Your video has convinced me to purchase the Godox trigger. However I do have a question for you if you don't mind?
At the moment I have a very basic and unreliable trigger system, which is in two parts. One part fits on the camera hotshoe the other part has to be fitted to the speedlight as I am sure will know. With the Godox will I still require a receiver to be attached to the flash/speedlight, if so would you be so good as to list the part? I work with a Canon 7D m2 and the Yongnuo 568 EXii, thank you in anticipation.
If you continue using the Yongnuo YN568, yes you will need a receiver on the flash (Godox X1R). If you get a Godox speedlight, you won’t need a receiver.
If you work in all manual, the TT600 is a dirt cheap speedlight not far off from the price of the X1R. No TTL but it can still do HSS off camera.
Great, thanks!
Thanks, i cant wait!!
Would love some coverage on Meike products and the similar equipment from their brand
Those i saw, you have the best info.
Great improvement from X1T series! Waiting for the Fuji series.
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 shoot Nikon. X1-T works awesome. I bought this one for the newer features which make it nice to work with. However, they are not compatible with the first version of the ad360 and no update in sight. Weird how a newer version wouldn't support the light.
Thanks for the great video! Any idea when this will be available for Fujifilm? Thanks.
+Hanny Alshazly nope. Considering the X1-T just came out for Fuji it's probably going to be a while
Hey great video. Coming from PCB so this is a welcomed upgrade in controllers. Quick couple of questions. Light settings. Is there anyway to store light settings like in the Cybercommander? I want to push a button and have custom settings activate. Also, I ran into HSS trouble where my camera didn't want to go higher than 1/200. Eventually, flicking a few more things I got it to work, but a video describing how to use the HSS and rear curtain would be great. Lastly, what is zoom as it relates to AD600 Pro? It doesn't right? Thanks again.
yeah I get banding on HSS with 1/250 afp on! GEAR is: NIKON d750 XPRO V860II combo...
@@chewbacka1982 Hey there, having purchased this setup, I'm going to guess that you don't have HSS turned on. Look up in the top right-hand corner. Does HSS show? If not, press the sync button until it does. BTW, I'm going from memory so sorry if the details are a bit off.
Great informative video thank you. I have the older 860 and 850 (N) models, but I’m REALLY tempted by the new 860.
Do you know if the one for cannon would work on the EOS rebel t6?
Well done!
Just found your channel. Love it!
Hey Rib, great overview. What about stroboscopic shooting?
Robert. Great instructional. Thank you!!! If I'm using mixed lighting, say AD600 on group A and a speedlight 860 or 880 on group B, does that mean that only one can be TCM'd? It seems like you only get to pick one or the other in the TCM set up menu; you can't pick one for each group. Am I right? Thanks again.
Yes you can only TCM one group at a time. But you can TCM one group, then switch in the custom functions what light, and TCM a different group.
Excellent tutorial.
Hi Robert. Good videos ! Could you help clarify. I have Nikon cameras and flashguns, a couple of SB800 and couple of SB910 which I used professionally. Also SU800 commander. (PW etc) I recently bought a Fuji XT-2 and watched your video about the Godox so I bought a 685F and X1. Amazing features and price. I am considering a AD200 (bare bulb would help with light spread?) Do I assume the X1 will trigger AD200 from Fuji but do I need to buy a Nikon trigger for my Nikon camera/s. It doesn't seem easy to understand compatibility issue. Is there a general ruling? i.e. every camera need to have a dedicated transmitter. Every Godox product will would from any of there triggers? Will my 685F only work from Fuji buy yet AD200 will would from anything? If I bough a Nikon Xpro tigger would 685F work ???
All a bit confusing.
If you want full functionality, your master (the trigger or speedlight on camera, transmitting to other flashes) has to match the camera. All flashes off camera will convert TTL/HSS signals no matter the brand, provided the firmware is up to date.
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.
Hi Robert, can you safely use a different brand controller on other cameras? Example : trigger for Olympus can be used on Fuji cameras? Thanks for all your help.
Safely, yes. Fully-featured, no. Power control is radio, and firing is done through the center pin so both of those things work. But things like TTL, HSS, Sleep/wake function, AF assist beam are all communicated through the camera-specific pins. So none of that will function if the trigger doesn’t match the camera brand.
