Great detailed tutorial here. Just received a Evolve AD200 and the X Pro S and they weren't talking to each other. I did a reset on the X Pro as you show, and now all is well in flash land! You rule!

I appreciated the pace at which you spoke and the clear instructions. I was able to follow along very nicely. Well done and thank you for this!

Thank you for helping those of us who have the need to get gear that works and plays well with others.

Just purchased this. Your video was very helpful in understanding how to setup the device. Much better than the poorly written instructions.

Thanks! Good audio (no background noise) and clear explanations. Keep it up. I Subscribed.

thank you so much for this video, it helped me allot, very clear and easy to understand, I bought two Godox v860ll's when I bought my A7r lll when it first came out,, and I have been waiting forever to get my hands on the the xpro s transmitter witch I just got, so now I am trying to learn the transmitter and the lights, and this video helped me allot, now I am hoping to find a video as good as this one for the speed lights, I haven't played with them yet because I bought them for off camera flash and I didn't have a transmitter

🤓😎thanx for buying and reviewing this item. I really loved it and I’ll get one so soon 👍🏻

Beautifully done, Lavikka. Thank you.

Got my Nikon compatible one a few weeks ago. All in all its ergonomically much better than the much simpler X1T. Negatives....the modeling light control sets the modeling light to just on ( full power ) or just off. The X1T allowed you to step up the brightness of the modeling light in three steps ( on the AD600 ). Battery life is much less than the X1T, no doubt that's due to the large LCD screen. I wish the buttons on the left lined up perfectly with the group's on screen, yes it's being fussy but it bothers me all the same lol. Other than that it's much improved in terms of usability, the menu makes sense, none of those cryptic secret button presses and for those with dwindling eyesight the screen is bright and clear. Some might miss the hotshoe passthrough but it's a feature I never used on the X1T. Oh and it's USB C connection and it's likely you won't have one lying around ( no cables are supplied in the box.) As it happens I did have 2 such cables so it didn't bother me but you'll probably have to budget $15 for a compatible cable if you ever want to update the firmware 😊

Great info, thank you. Please keep these videos coming.

I updated mine, now I can set the AF style from DSLR to MILC and now the infrared feature works.

Best explanation on how to set up this transmitter.

Super thorough and at a great pace, thank you!

I`m so glad with the Godox-System on my Sony a7 ii: TTL and HSS work best. If you press the Sync button on the Godox XPro[s] the camera allows to shoot with shorter exposure time than the sync speed. Now I got the Godox TT685 for Fuji (!) , the AD200 and the AD600 for Off camera shooting. All works best together. For On camera Flash I use a short bracket because my TT685 is made for Fuji. It' s a pitty, that Yongnuo doesn' t has a Sony Transmitter. So I can' t use my Yongnuo Flashes any more. Thank you for your Video. Regards from Hamburg

nice thank you, straight to the point, got what i needed

2022 this was a great video! Thank you!

Great video. Can you also review what settings need to be changed on the Sony camera when you use this trigger? Thanks, Joe

This helped me a lot! Thank you so much!

Great video! Im having trouble with setting up ad600 pro and sony hvl f60rm for off camera flash. I am using the godox X1RS with the godox XproS TTL transmitter for sony camera. I cant seem to get both working at the same time when pressing shutter.

Thanks a lot for this comprehensive video , my question is shouldn't we change any setting on the camera itself to connect these two devices? Also please put a video like how to connect xpro s to AD200 flash .

😁 For olympus too. Just bought one with Ad600, Ad200 (with modifier give the most power for ad200)

Hi Great video, I had one quick question, What is the best flash mode setting on your Sony mirrorless camera for XProSTT trigger?

Great vid! I have a question for you though... Using the XProS and the X1RS connected to a strobe, I have only been able to fire the flash using the "test" button on either godox device, however the with the XPROS mounted to an A6000, the camera will not trigger the flash. Any thoughts? I've got it on default setting channel 1, group A, either TTL or manual.

YES, A7RIII, and nice to see happy robot baby again :-)

Over a year later and you might have solved my problem. Is there any firmware update for this trigger as of July 2019

Thanks! As always a great job. rp

it's interesting. I got one question though. With the A7R3 in EFCS mode and using the X1T, i experienced misfires. After some discussions with others on a sony fb group, it appears that the culprit is the electronic first curtain shutter. With mechanical shutter only, there's no misfires. When you have time, can you check this issue for me with A7R3+XPro-S combo?

is it working with rotolight too? thanx

Awesome video! Please go over TTL vs M? Also, i am researching how to update firmware, please share any info you have on this. Thanks!

Great help, thank you

Kind of a new-bi question. I have an A7RII, hvl-58 & hvl-60 sony flashes. I just bought what you are showing here. So far, it only seems to be triggering the flash, i.e. what I set on the commander seems to have no impact on how the flashes perform. Are the settings you choose on the commander supposed to "over-ride" whatever the flashes settings are? Is there a way that the sony flashes have to be set up first? Is there a specific way the camera should be setup? Hope this makes some sense - thanks for any assistance.

Good video!

Just received the Godox xpro(s) flash trigger and tried to link it up to the Godox TT350(s) but can't even get a test fire. Followed your video to the letter and couldn't get the flash to fire at all with the trigger mounted on the hot shoe of an Sony a6500. Please advise. Thank you.

Is it true that the X-Pro S when hooked up to the Sony A7iii (or even other Sony FF mirrorless models) in TTL mode under exposes at apertures wider than F4? I am holding back my purchase of the Godox V860ii-S and X-Pro S because of this issue. Appreciate a reply. Thanks.

question for you. will this transmitter set the mode on non godox flashes but are mounted on the X1ttl sony wireless trigger. reason i ask is because only the godox flashes changed modes when i used the x pro s transmitter

What if I wanted to use all of these flashes plus a on camera speedlight. How would I do that with the trigger. Basically does the trigger have to be on the camera to work all flashes ,even if I have a speedlight on camera ?

HELLO! - GREAT INFORMATIVE VIDEO! THANK YOU! - One request.....Can you please make a video on how to update the Godox2 firmware for the Xpro-s that addresses the constant misfires that occur during photo shoots. Every 3 or 4th shot misfires on my A7riii using the Xpro-s with 5 ad200 lights. (I went to the Godox website to the firmware download page. I downloaded the Godox2 firmware updater app. I udated the driver on the computer, but when I tried to load the .dfu file it was non existent. PLEASE HELP!!! THANK YOU!

Love Godox for what they have done, on that note the main issue(s) are if you're using non Godox strobes you can not control the lights even with the firmware updates. All you have is a trigger it's looking like Yongnuo is the only flash controller that will work with your mix of light.

Very nice video. Thnx a lot.

How to set the flash A, B; C should be nice to know from the star?

The only thing I don't like about this trigger is that the on/off slider buttons on the right are almost too smooth and that I would accidentally bump it. The button slides too easy and wish it was a little tighter. Other than that its a great trigger.

Hi! Please suggest what I have to do. Yesterday I bought the Godox system: AD600pro and Xpro-S. Main goal - to use as outdoor flash with HSS. I use Sony A7 R 3. And when I installed and switched on all my equipment (sony a7R3+ xpros+ad600pro), turned on HSS mode on xpros and AD600 PRO I FOUND THAT IT WORKS GOOD IN TTL MODE BUT IF I TRIED TO SWITCH INTO MANUAL MODE - THE FLASH IS WORKED FIRST TIME, AND THAN, IT'S NOT WORKING IF I MAKING A PHOTO. THE SAME SITUATION WITH MANUAL MODE WITHOUT HSS. I tried to use didderent channels, groups, Ids but situation is the same. In manual mode flash is not working every time. WHAT DO I WRONG?

Great video, thank you very much.

The ad200 isn't really great at bursting. Turn the flash power down to 1/16 or 1/32 power and change the burst rate on the camera to 3fps or slow burst. Then it should work if everything is fully charged.

What are your camera settings? I have the same Godox trigger and Sony a7R3 and I get different results when I turn on/off WL. Is the setting that makes more sense- WL on with Fill Flash Mode on? Fill Flash, however, tends to darken the background; and I am not shooting with slow shutter either. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

sorry i might have missed it but how to you adjust the light power of the ad200 using the godox xpros?

I recently purchased a Flashpoint xpro R2 for Sony and realized when using non native lens w/ adapter I loose aperture 3rds when shooting flash. I can shoot whole stops like 1.4 , 2, 2.8 and so on but stops in between I experience a delay of 1 - 1.5 seconds between shutter press and flash firing. I tried out a xpro R2 Canon version and I regained all my aperture ranges while loosing HSS and TTL availabilities as expected. Possible I have a faulty xpro r2 Sony trigger? I don’t see any firmware update at all for the Sony version.

I’ve tried everything to get this to work without issue and it will not. Anyone have this issue and know a potential fix with this trigger. I am using Sony a9.... doesn’t matter what lens is being used. Same result. Thanks for the suggestions in advance :)

Some flashes have a zoom function so yes you can match the focal length of the lens to make sure the light spread covers it or go the other way and make the flash more of a spot than a fill.

The camera automatically switches modes once you have a flash or trigger on the camera when they're turned on. I apologize I can't remember the name at this point (auto exposure preview effect?) but you can customize a button which you will have to hold to get a ambient light reading. Kinda bs in my opinion but maybe they'll change this in firmware.

No receiver needed. Make sure the transmitter and flash are on the same group and same channel.
