r/Godox

I’m experiencing intermittent hot shoe failures when using manual single-pin triggers. I’ve tested with the Godox X3 and X3Pro (with Legacy Mode enabled), as well as the Godox RT-16, which is a single-pin manual trigger.

The issue occurs inconsistently during normal shooting, with no clear pattern, which makes it extremely frustrating.

What’s even more frustrating is that neither company has provided any meaningful support when I’ve reached out to them, which leaves me without a clear path to resolve the problem.

Has anyone had reliable success with any trigger that works well with Godox flashes on the X2D II? I haven’t come across a dependable solution so far, and I’m honestly starting to consider switching systems because of this.

I’m not massively experienced in flash photography but I’m shopping around for a new speedlite.

I like everything the iT32 has to offer but would it be sufficient for what I need compared to say, a v1 mid.

I don’t shoot too far away from subjects (max a few meters) and shoot mostly run and gun shots of people playing games/ activities - mostly mid shots in darker environments.

I've been using the Godox iT32 and it's fantastic, it's small, portable and gets the job done.
Lately I've been thinking about upgrading to something more powerful and a bit more "future-proof". I mainly shoot street and cars, but recently I've started doing portraits and small events more frequently and I feel like the iT32 might be a bit limiting in terms of power.
Would it make sense to upgrade to the V1 Mid?

Next week I'll be shooting at a Comicon, and I'm considering picking up the V1 Mid to test it side by side with my iT32.

I recently purchased an AD300 Pro II and saw that firmware version 1.05 is available, while mine is currently on version 1.02. I wanted to update it, but I can’t get the upgrade screen to appear on the flash.

I just finished upgrading the firmware on my IT30, which was very simple, so I expected the same process for the AD300 Pro II—but no luck. I’ve tried almost everything. I removed the battery, then pressed and held the power/flash button while plugging in the USB-C cable from my Mac, but the screen remains dark. I also tried holding down the menu button while connecting the USB-C cable, but nothing happens. Finally, I tried holding down the Set button/scroll wheel while connecting the USB-C cable and still no luck.

Has anyone encountered this issue, or am I doing something wrong? Everything else works—the strobe turns on and operates normally—but I can’t get it to connect to my Mac. My IT30 connects just fine.

I would really appreciate any help.

I am getting a flash for my Sony A7iii -

I recently bought a few tt600 with a x2t trigger which I plan on using for a studio product setup...

...though I would also like a nice TTL style flash for general point and shoot style photography.

I just bought a (v1) Godox TT685 Thinklite for $50, instead of the newer Godox TT685II-S ...

I'm hoping it will be compatible and do a similar job to the updated (v2) - Is that correct?

Thank-you

Hi everbody, I want to use my Godox V100 off camera and am wondering if I simply can put on the Godox X5 piece on the camera hot shoe to trigger it (without owning a iT32 - I only found tutorials that showed how to trigger the V100 with X5 AND iT32, so I'm a bit confused). Anybody uses that minimal setup? I'm totally fine not having TTL.

Is it gonna be enough to just light up my face? What light modifiers should I use that is portable to carry? The Ml100Bi with the reflector itself hurts my eyes without any modifiers. I'll be using the light on a cold shoe. If you have a good setup suggestion for outdoor vlogs, please let me know. Thank you in advance

Maaaaan… I picked up the S85T and thought, “this thing is perfect — I just wish it wasn’t flat.”
Then Godox goes and releases the EazyFlow Foldable Softbox.

Now I’m wondering:
Is the EazyFlow actually a big upgrade, or is the difference smaller than it looks on paper?

Anyone here had hands-on time with both?

I am using a sigma 18-50mm f2.8 lens. I feel like the flash might get obstructed by the lens even without the lens hood. Anyone has tried this setup, please let me know if any lens shadow falls on the pictures thanks.

Hi all,

I’m testing some new gear this week and have bought most of the recent Godox stuff for testing.

Is it possible to control the zoom position of remote flashes using a V100 or V1Mid as an on-camera sender? This is possible on the X3Pro (though it’s quite hidden) but I can’t find the feature on the V1Mid and the V100.

I can’t see the setting for the on camera flash, but I’m interested in controlling the zoom for remote/receiver units such as the AD100II Pro.

Thanks! 🙏

Can I use IT30 Pro to trigger Godox MS300V and AD300 Pro? Per google, it says it is compatible with godox x-system but i am not sure whats included there. Thank you!

These look great!

Just announced

So I have a wedding + reception to shoot and I want a flash, it has to be TTL and I actually prefer AA batteries over lithium ion. but if the lithium ion option is that much better, I'm open to it.

I used to do a lot of events years ago with my d300s and Nikon Sb-700 flash. so I'm probably looking for something similar to the sb700.

Honestly I don't know a ton about flash, I just know I liked my sb700 and found it was good for what I used it for.

Budget doesn't matter a ton, I was considering the v1pro so that's probably the top of my budget.

Compatible with Leica SL (TYP601), SL2, SL3, Q2, and M10.
Not compatible with Leica M11.

Compact TTL flash with built-in 2.4G wireless system and HSS support up to 1/8000s.
