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.

    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

    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.

    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?
