Pairing GodoxV1 with Godox XPro Trigger
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
The basic process to pair your Godox V1 speedlight with your Godox XPro trigger:
1. Put the V1 speedlight in Rx mode. Using the backwards Z button until the screen turns orange. It will say Rx on the screen. Unless you have an older firmware update, in which case it will say slave.
2. Set up the channels. Use the menu button to scroll through to scan, and start. This will let give you a list of channels that should be free from interference. Once you have this, set the V1 speedlight to one of these channels. Then set the XPro trigger to the same channel.
3. Set ID. ID can be left off, but if you do use it the trigger and the speedlight need to be set to the same ID. Can be found in both the trigger and the speedlight by pressing menu and scrolling to ID.
4. Set up groups. Set which group you would like your speedlight to be in by pressing "GR" and cycling through the letters. Adjust the settings of that group on your Xpro trigger. If you're only using one speedlight, there isn't any advantage/disadvantage to choosing different groups. I generally leave mine in Group A.

My husband just bought one of this he went through many channels but we couldn't pair. I just came across your video and so clearly explained and now we are all smiles ....thank you sooo much. Greetings from Germany 🇩🇪
After months of idle use I needed a refresher on how to setup and use the XPro with my V1, this explained it perfectly, I'm sure I will forget in the future, but I saved this for future use. Greatly appreciated!
I know I am a little behind the ball, but I just got this Godox setup and I could not figure out how to pair my lights and group them, from the manuals. This video was a life saver, and a frustration saver!! Thanks so much!!
Just purchased a V1 and x pro and read the manuals several times but none the wiser, your video enabled me to set these up I just a couple of minutes, brilliant, thank you so much.

Great to hear!
What wonderful, straight the point illustration. Love that you have both items side by side for a complete paring. Great job.
Oh man!! Thank you, thank you, thank you. I was having such problems syncing my trigger unit with my 2 flashes (all Godox) and after fruitlessly watching countless videos not eh subject I came across your lifesaving video. It seems I had all the setting right but one-I was missing the ID settings. You saved the day. THANKS!!! Cheers, Bob.
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge! It helped me to setup X2T with V1C godox. Simple and easy to follow. Thanks again!

30 mins wasted reading the manuals for both trigger and flash, 30 secs into this video I am sorted thanks
I spent 3 hours watching other useless videos then your video was the best that explained the id and Chanel setup
I’ve watched six videos from other bloggers and all of them are garbage only yours helped me thank you so much!!!!❤❤❤❤
Oh, thanks for this tutorial. Saved a lot of trouble in pairing flash with Xpro.
This one really helps a lot! I got my V1 connected to the trigger easy after this video. Thank you!
went through 10 videos before watching this on, and this one helped me str8 away....thx
Oh, hell yes! Thanks for taking the time to help me and so many others out with this same setup. Keep on living, my friend.
Thank you!! All I was missing was connecting with RX! Thanks so so much!
Glad this came up in my search, just picked up the reciever and researching to sync
Thanks for your vid. It really helped me regarding the identity setting. For reasons I wasn't aware of I had managed to accidently set ID=3 on my V1 flash. This effectively meant I was unable to use with my controller, which had it's ID unchanged and set to 'off'. With the ID off on my controller and being unaware of the ID dimension, I had only varied channels and groups successfully controlling multiple AD200s. Up until now everything worked as expected except for my V1, even when set to the correct channel and group. Frustratingly, all I could do with the V1 was use on camera or in slave mode. Now understanding 'ID dimensions' I can alter this successfully too, albeit it's really overkill for my use cases - but good to know it's there. I just now need to 'hack around' in my AD200 menus to see if ID exists there too (I never noticed). I guess the general answer to this and many similar types of problems is that old adage of just RTFM
Very helpful video! An incorrect ID setting was preventing me from syncing the flash. Thanks for taking the time to make this video!

Thank you! I must have had some interference because I originally had everything set to channel 1, it worked for a day, and it suddenly stopped working the next day. I watched your video, used the scan, found a better channel (in my case, 21) and suddenly everything started working again!
Thanks so much for this video, I’m out in Costa Rica doing macro photography among other things, and for the life of me I couldn’t get my flash and trigger to cooperate. A Quick Look at your video and boom, sorted! Thanks man, subscribed and grateful 🙏🏼📸
Thank you so much! I was really having trouble with that. Your advise got mine working.
Thank you for this super super helpful video! Now that I have all my groups set I hope I don’t ever have to do it again because I won’t remember on the spot 😂
Thank you so much for posting this. I normally don't comments but this saved me sending the unit back due to impatience and not understanding the equipment. Cheers and Happy Shooting!!

Thank you. This was the only video tutorial I found easy to follow. Can you do a video on how to set to change each separate speedlite from the trigger control. Eg a main light and a full light in studio. I’ve successfully set up both to trigger but when I change one they all change.
Awesome instructions man. You saved me a headache trying to sync this. I had the ID set to #2. I changed it to OFF and voila! 🤙🏼

Thanks for this video. I recently got mine and I have to be honest the build quality is fantastic and the prices also great but man if this isn’t the worst menu system I’ve ever used. The buttons seems more contextually based which only would make sense if it was a touch screen device where they can change. Navigation is also confusing and not very intuitive. I might exchange this for the Profoto system even though I’m reluctant to pay their prices.

Haha, yep, great bit of gear but they don't make it easy to understand and the instructions aren't very clear either. It's not too bad once you get used to the menus but I've got to admit it does take a bit of effort.

You're welcome. The settings are going to be different depending on what I'm shooting, the flash setting does need to be on though. You should be able to change your shutter speed, however it will not be able to be faster than 1/200 unless you turn high speed sync on. Which camera are you using?
Thanks, very good.

Thank you. I have a question. I am a m43 shooter but also own some Nikon DSLRs. I have an xpro o trigger. Do I still need to buy a v1 o flash or just any type of v1 will be triggered by my Xpro o? Essentially, am asking if any xpro trigger can trigger any V1 flash on any camera model?

Hi great video. Could you show how to set up two or more v1 speed lights I mean actually have a second unit in the video.
This all seems quite straightforward until the part about using Group. There isn't a group of flashes here but only one flash. The "Group" setting seems to used to preprogram the flash to function in a specific mode/power setting. Also it seems essential that in manual mode both trigger and flash must have the same power output selected or can that just be dialed in and adjusted by the trigger?
thank you so much

I made a video about updating the XPro trigger kzread.info/dash/bejne/oIlouth-ibSxe7w.html It sounds like you need to extract the rar files first which can be done by using a program like 7-zip or WinRar.
Thank you for sharing....can you tell my why automic go to TTL...i want to shoot manual flash,please?
Hi. I want to ask if you know some solution for my problem. I have nikon z6 1 and v1 godox. I have bought xpro and it didn't work. I have tried everything.. is there another trigger for z6 and v1 that will work? Thanks
❤❤
Hi, we try to connected the Godox V1(s) and the Godox Xpro(s) like your video; but by us; we never find out how to make the connection between both. Can someone help us?
any reason why the camera says RX not slave? Your viceo helped me to synch with trigger, but why does it not say slave? Is that a new flash thing?
