Thank you Alina! New video coming next week ! V1's rocks!

Thank you Willy! When you want to save time just assume I am always right!😂😂

Thank you!

Thank you !

The final images make the difference ! Lol you dont tell somebody if you don’t drive Mercedes you are not a driver ! 😂 don’t worry about what other people say . Your clients will not care of the flash brand you use, they will care how the pictures look. Work on your skills and proof them wrong ! Happy shooting !

You are absolutely right

Its a great set up, i will recommend you the profoto Connector Pro transmitter and will make everything easier to control from your camera. And you will need a second transmitter for back up. Happy shooting and enjoy your set up!

Thanks for the comment ! Oh boy, Rollei looks awesome ! Love that big touch screen and the 80W. I have not seen them in US but I will look around. The whole line of products they have looks fantastic! Definitely I will like to try some of their stuff! Enjoy your flashes and happy shooting !

@@tonyroscaphotography hey Tony. You're welcome. I think rollei is just for the German market. Have a look at Jinbei. I think Rollei and Jinbei are exactly the same company under different names. Jinbei offers the same flashes 😊👍

@@sebastianschweinstigl

You are absolutely right!

Thank you ! All the flashes can break at the hot shoe, its a weak point for all of them . Handle with care . Have a good day and happy shooting !

@@tonyroscaphotography Yeah, they can all break, but that's not what I'm referring to. Godox V1 has a major issue with the hot show breaking off "very easily" to where it has become a problem. Not the case at all with other brands of flashes such as Profoto, Canon, Sony.

I have few of them for few years and still holding strong . I never had a hot-shoe breaking on me yet. I dont say will never happen😂

@@tonyroscaphotography I definitely hope it doesn't happen to any of us, when we need it most. lol

Hi , i was using an Angler Fast Box , it comes with a magnetic mount compatible with Godox V1 but will fit Profoto A10 too,and you dont need any adaptor to mount the flash a.co/d/4Iubki5 - Amazon link here Also now i am using a Glow Para snap 28” which also work without adaptor with these flashes and has a better push down safety to keep your flash strongly attached to it. The Angler softbox packs slimmer and sometimes it works better to carry with you. . Both softboxes are easy to set up and break down while diffusing the light pretty good . I tried the Profoto Click Box and i did not seen any differences between quality and diffusion on light quality. Please let me know if you have any other questions . Have a great day and thank you for stopping by

Thank you@@tonyroscaphotography

I will use the Glow S2 Round flash adapter Bowens mount from Adorama or Amazon ( 25$) and a bowens to profoto adapter( NiceFoto SN-27 from Amazon for 40$ ) attached to it to make the transition . Profoto makes an OCF adapter for AX but is 299$ . The first route is cheap the second is more simple . You pick your battle ! Have fun shooting !

@@tonyroscaphotography - thank you!

Profoto interface its very sleek, but yes it comes with a price. The main reason pros are using it is because the rental houses have mostly Profoto gear because they have service and warranties for US. When traveling for a job you only can rent Profoto and is the only game in town.

True 100% the even the expensive Nikon flash systems I tried over the years were all terrible with the big LCD screens and a million settings you can never grasp also you have to press million buttons , their cameras really good but flashes a big No .I should have just bought Profoto straight away as I've ended up paying twice believing marketing hype from Nikon . @@tonyroscaphotography

Thank you!

Hi Lux , maybe is just the way it shows on the video. I have both systems and I use both systems all the time depending on the needs i have for the moment and sincerely there is no much difference. I am planing to keep Profoto and Godox for my work and I don’t have any intentions to move completely to only one because they fulfill different needs for me. You can be happy with either one .

Lol! I let my Canon flashes go ! I got the Profoto because i wanted not because i need it! On my next video you will see how V1 compare with his big brothers!😎

Hi Mauricio, do you shoot with flash on camera or off camera ? I have not experience any multiple misfires with Godox flashes . It happens but once in a while . With Profoto i have misfire with A2 . The A10 did great - on camera and off camera via remote trigger. You should check camera settings and the flash settings . But if you tell me more how you use the flash maybe i can help you out You said it happens with 2 different flashes and i am inclined to say there are some settings in your camera commanding the flash to not fire.

All the Profoto click accessories work with Godox . The Godox accesories are a little bigger and dont work on Profoto. Check out my channel and I have a vid about Profoto accessories being compatible with Godox . Cheers !

@@tonyroscaphotography great! This is the answer I wished 🙂 It’s going to be fine on my Lumix S5iiX

I was looking at the Westcott FJ80 which is how the JINBEI HD2MAX is rebranded in US and I might get one to try it out. Looks like a very good flash !

It is from V-FLAT WORLD, but i can not recommended because it came apart fast and it warps pretty easy. Any collapsible backdrop will work. Thank you for stopping by.

@@tonyroscaphotography Thank you so much for responding. I will subscribe. I love your content.

I hope it only gets better ! Feel free to ask any questions , i will always answer back .

Yes you are right !. Thanks for catching this . Sharp eyes!

Lol, you are right !

You are right but Because people buying Profoto will drive the Godox prices up . The new V1 pro is 329$ and the S2 attachment its another 50$ but its still significantly cheaper than Profoto. I preorder one and will compare it with Profoto when it ships. If it’s only 15%-20% better than the original V1 will kill Profoto in spades. Also the new Nano remote will make the system super desirable . Godox is up for development big time compare with Profoto

Hi JP, i will do the test over the weekend and will report back . Cheers .

@@tonyroscaphotography - many thanks!

JP, I did the test today . I had the flashes at 6' ( which is roughly 2 m) from my Sekonic meter. ISO 100, SS 125/s. I had the V1 head zoomed at 35mm and the Profoto zoom out at the widest setting which by Profoto specs is 32mm .( Profoto doesn't have a numeric scale just an animated U shape which opens and close when you rotate a ring on the flash head . Both flashes at full power read F 11.5. Had the Sekonic and flashes on stands. I do periodically test like this for me when I try to figure out what lights to take in shoots. About overexposed, I don't care much because I do a calibration shoot when I get new flashes or cameras to set my 0 point and I always dial in my preferred compensation but I shoot 99% on manual. just one TTL exposure to give me a starting point sometime. I use a meter to set my lights. Let me know if was helpful . best regards.

@@tonyroscaphotography - you've done great - many thanks. This informs us that the Guide number (Gn) at ISO 100 and ~35mm lens's angle of flash is 6 times 11.5 = 69 and the Gn in meters is 21 (6 * 12 * 0.0254). That's a "lot" less than I would have thought or guessed (my wild-assed guess had been 0.5 EV). For comparison, with my camera brand speedlights I would get f/19 (that the Sekonic may display as f/(16 2/3rd) - a bit more than 1 EV but in light or energy that's more than 100%

@@jpdj2715 I am glad was useful

It is Godox R2 Pro MarkII 2.4GHz Transmitter , 69$ . It has few feature improvements over the old version .

@@tonyroscaphotography ah okay I don’t think it’s available in Europe/Germany from godox. I just found it in the us from flashpoint

Ahhh, Flashpoint is Godox sold by Adorama. I think they ship internationally , but check the shipping cost and I think you guys have to pay VAT or import taxes?

480 vs 450 . Sorry if was a typo thank you !

Yes you can fit the Profoto clic accessories on V1. It doesn't work the other way around because Godox accessories are slightly bigger, enough to have the magnets off by a hair to not have a tight connection. But the Profoto accessories on Godox have a strong fit

@@tonyroscaphotography Thank you so much for the detailed response! I just subscribed. I hope to see you grow your channel even further.

Thank you vey much ! If you have any other questions let me know , I enjoy talking about photography .

@@tonyroscaphotography thanks for the question, thanks @rodielb for the answer. I was wondering the same as the Godox modifiers are obviously less expensive than Profoto.

@@brettida5091 i will do a quick review soon for the accessories on these flashes . Have a good one !

Thats a very smart way to sort them out! I will borrow your idea! Hope you don’t mind ! You really help me out with this !👍

I can testify Godox are reliable because i use them 😎. But The Godox smartphone flash and Bluetooth remote control unit, the Godox A1, has been discontinued in 2020 and it never worked good but they were the first ones to try to synch flash with phone cameras as far as I know , 👍

It seems that it is only when using TTL and HSS together but not when you use HSS only. I always shoot in Manual with HSS and more often i have ND filters on lens to avoid HSS. The new R2 Pro II i think does the TTL and HSS together . I will try today a couple of shots and let you know later today if its the case . I think one time i use the TTL and HSS cambo and i had to dial - 2 or -3 to get the exposure right. Now because you mentioned this I have to check it out😂 Thank you for bring it up!

I did tried the HSS with TTL and it worked with the new remote . I used exposure compensation because was over exposing but it did worked . I will try with the rest of the Godox flashes to see whats going one but the V1 and the 100 worked .

@@tonyroscaphotography Thanks for trying. However, this does not encourage me to buy the new trigger (Godox Xpro II Canon) because I'm fed up with automatical flash overexposure (basically, it's always flash with Full power). I have no choice if I want to go on using Godox with R5 and R6, buit it's really a pain in the arse to manually set up the flash exposure. As a conclusion, if you say that you have to use exposure compensation, this means it does not work as expected.

Every flash will overexpose or under expose on some situations when used in TTL mode . TTL is not consistent !You have to use exposure compensation , it is more consistent when you have the flash on camera but with a remote and if you use a light modifier everything gets tricky . I dont think you need to get the new remote but i do believe you should try to use Manual mode and forget about TTL . I only use TTl for first shot as a starting point and switch to manual after i compensate for exposure .In my last video i only used a youngnuo flash in manual mode . Cheers !

Not noticeable, the Godox is rated to 34 full consecutive power flashes before the overheating protection kick in . The new Godox V1 Pro is 100 flashes i dont remember to see the spec for Profoto But both flashes start slowing down on recycling time when they get hot as protection from overheating . It can take up to 9 sec when the body of the flash gets hot . For me if i have to shoot at full power , i rather use a bigger strobe to keep the power down

That's straight up wrong. The Godox V1 will slow down recycle time a LOT after about 15-20 1/2 or 1/1 fires. Profotos do not have such extreme overheat protection. I'd hope the Pro is better but have not tried one.

@@HibikiRush I have all 3 of these flashes , and I use all 3 of them for different situations. I am not talking about something I dont have or use and this is what I see from my flashes...

Godox V1 one has the longer battery life . I guess the Bluetooth triggering system Profoto use is depleting the battery faster . But both flashes have plenty of juice and recycling is not noticeable different . Having both i compare them all the time . The look you get with bare flash is a little different and i might like the Profoto look more but when you use modifiers the difference is very minimal. And you can get 4 V1 for the price of one A10. Booth flashes are very good .

haha for the price of the profoto you can buy 5 Godox v1, not only some extra batteries

-Profoto doesn’t have a longer battery life, Godox does -Godox recycles jn 1s -There is no significant difference. Just UI and battery life and build. -Images look exactly the same, even confirmed by the person who posted the video Do you even have a camera? Lmao, based on the videos you posted. Not sure how someone can be so wrong in a comment

@@HAlariousIncI will agree with you on all but the recycle time. The Godox at full power is closer to 3 seconds but I barely ever use full power. 76w is pretty bright. I haven’t use it off camera for sunset shots though. Their specs are lying about the recycle time. Every other power level isn’t noticeable at all though.

The shoe mount on Profoto is pretty decent. Profoto miss fire too some times and dont expect miracles. I am working on the next video on my channel and i am using the A10 and A2. Both flashes miss fire sometime and i am not sure yet but the batteries seems to deplete faster than Godox. But they are fun to use and the A10 on camera has the best performance I saw in any flash.

I'm in the same boat. Been using Godox on camera and broke 2 of them from the foot over the past 3 months during events. Strongly considering profoto but its a huge leap and not sure I want to commit to their ecosystem.

@@carolsabbagh10 I dont say Profoto is not good and having Profoto lights myself I can sincerely tell you there is no huge improvement like you might expect. Profoto lights breaks too and are no cheap to repair. If the cost of everything you have to buy in the Profoto system is not a decision factor I say go for it. It depends on how easy and fast you can absorb the investment in your business . Consider what you need to buy to have a proper Profoto system and do a budget check. If you are not easy on your equipment than I will say to stay with Godox . Have a good one !

I also broke two at the foot. But than again who says the profoto’s don’t break at the foot.. so I think for now I’ll be sticking to godox and rotolight

If the price is not an issue you should get what you want . I have both systems and i cant see either system as an upgrade . Its just a different user experience . Both system work fine , Profoto has more fancy user experience. When I am traveling sometimes i will take the Profoto because the batteries charge faster , otherwise i dont see any big advantages having the Profoto, and Godox or any other flash will be just fine .

You are absolutely right😎

Jodi, i have multiple Profoto and Godox lights and i use both systems for few years . The built quality of Profoto is indeed better. The battery doors on Godox triggers are very flimsy in my experience. If you shoot ettl with off camera flash with Profoto you also get inconsistency and miss fire. You need to choose a system which you like and stick with it to learn how to roll with the issues . There is no magic flash to work flawless all the time in ettl. Is why i use them in manual mode most of the time .

Profoto A10 can be used as a master up for 4 different channels. But it diesnt have an optical slave build in what personally i like to have in every flash/strobe to be able to trigger it with different manufacturer flash if you need to.

Lol, fact check , real estate agents do show up with Kia or Honda at million $ property sales. Talking about photography you better show up with a power pack not a speed light. 😂

My mom worked for a guy that owned 5 hotels (Best Western, Holiday Inn, etc) worth about 200M, drove the dumpiest truck. I worked in real estate Agents would buy the cheapest luxury cars to pretend they’re rich, like anyone is impressed by a CLA 250.

LOL, i know that type, trying to project you have more money that you really do its a trend here in S Florida. On the other hand i just had a photo shoot and used profoto because was a colab with somebody who uses only profoto and we had a bunch of misfires . Like 5 in the row sometimes . I really wanted to pull out the Godox and get over it. 😂

@@tonyroscaphotography sounds like S. Florida. I don’t know how people correlate brands with wealth. I’m more interested in if they can get the job done, than the gear they use.

You are absolutely right!

I agree with you, the new V1 Pro has the same interface without any improvements. I am shooting 95% off camera and the adjustments via remote are easy . Also i try to use manual mode most of the time because its predictibile . Hopefully they will come out with a new version to match the new Nano trigger interface and than will be a great . I am using Profoto system too and believe me I have the same problems . Cheers!

@@tonyroscaphotography I shoot only manual, on-camera, while running around barefoot on a Caribbean beach. TTL is a gimmick. If I could have a custom flash built, it would have an on/off switch, and an intensity knob sticking out of the middle of the back of it. I don't even need a display. One or two test shots, and I'd be rolling. I'd welcome a small cooling fan, even if it added some bulk.

If you watch the video I also have Profoto and Godox flashes and i did said you get some color cast with Godox and also I get color shift from Profoto but it is easy to correct in post . I can not pick a clear winner between these two brands . I also got more lights from both brands for “ i want this one”reasons not because is a night and day difference or i get so much better pictures with a specific brand . You should try a canon with the EL-1 flash! 😊

I been a PRO Photogerapher for about 15 yrs now and have used every single brand out there. NO BRAND is spot on when it comes to colour temperature accuracy, they either SLIGHTLY have a warmer or blue shift which is very hard to notice unless you want to NITPICK. @TONY's example at 5:17 is a brilliant example of whatever difference people like you CLAIM there is between these brands. He's actually showing you examples from both brands, yet you are here claiming Godox has ugly color shifts as if we are blind. Godox, Profoto, Nikon, Canon etc did not INVENT the speedlight or studio light, some other old brand made it first, it worked, then everyone else made theirs (and the price comes down). Its the way it works in the REAL world, reasons why Electric cars aren't made by just one company, or Camera's, tv's, phones, washing machine, blender, editing apps etc. Are you saying you would never ever buy any other electric car bcus they are all TESLA KNOCKOFF'? I know MOST Americans HATE the chinese a lot, but if am to go by your LOGIC, then your American brand WESTCOTT is also a cheap KNOCKOFF of GODOX in case it never crossed your mind. I've been using Godox for 4-5 years now, and the brand is 100% no difference from profoto. Only difference between them is Design and Price.

@@akpevbe Design is kind of a big deal. And possibly we shoot differently or have different clientel with different requirements as far as preciseness to detail. But the color shift in GODOX is very severe. There is a reason Profoto costs as much as they cost. Quality is not negligible. It is quite apparent. I purposely use these lights on two of my pro camera bodies during a ceremony and the work that i created for myself using GODOX was significant. Simply put, Profoto is absolutely amazing and GODOX is a light that I will use if I dont have another option. I am just amazed at how many "professional photographers" on youtube are giving such strange advice.

Have you noticed most of commercial photographers use Broncolor not Profoto ? Maybe you got a bad copy of Godox. For my work i dont use flash on canera but for that type of work your native camera brand flash will perform better than anything else . If you dont like the Godox why you keep them? Why you dont buy more Profotos to have for backup?

​@@jrobinson3665 If there's a reason Profoto costs as much as they cost, then pls tell us why their trigger cost about 7-8 times the price of Godox trigger when clearly godox trigger does better. Or why their soft box cost so much more than bowens, when they do exactly the same thing. Godox even designed the SAME trigger for Broncolor, yet Broncolor also charges more than Godox 🤣. EVERY company COPY others. Godox copy Profoto's A1 round head and Profoto copied Godox AD100, its how everything we use today works. I have seen videos here on youtube and facebook groups of profoto owners that experience some colour shift or faulty lights, does that mean profoto lights are bad? NO. It just mean they got the bad batch (just like Godox). Am a published pro photographer that still uses profoto or broncolor depending on what studio am hiring or where am hiring my lights from when i travel. I really do not care which brand i use as they all work well in this day and age. For my business and everyday work i invested in godox as it has EVERYTHING i need it to do for me (reliability, ease of use, briliant light quality, eco system etc), anything else is just based on FEATURES thats needed for ones type of photography style. One of the last studios i hired (few weeks ago) i had to take my Godox lights with me as the studio owner had ONLY 3 Broncolor lights (not enough for my concept). He was blown away by the ease of use and quality of the godox light especially how good the trigger was. Not in a million years would i invest in Profoto or Broncolor just bcus some well known old school professional photographers uses those brand. The only reason most old school professional photographers use profoto is bcus thats what they invested in years ago and are use to, so no need to change (why fix what isn't broken). In 15 yrs, not one client have ever insisted on me using a certain brand of light (they give me a brief and we execute it 100% with whatever brand we want to use).

Still trying to figure out the sound with video editing . Color and sound changes when i upload to KZfaq. The color on the speedlights is different from each camera brand in my opinion. I have Fuji and Canon systems and with Canon i can see some magenta tint with Profoto and green with Godox but i dont see much of the tints when using the Fuji system. Also I use the speedlights at lower power setting mist of the time and i think are more color consistent when Are above 1/4 power . I prefer the godox when i shoot outdoors and is more greenery involved in the image or is late afternoon, for bright , high contrast , or diffused shade or urban setting i use Profoto. I don’t have a scientifically explanation its just how i like it. Personally i don’t see a good reason to choose a system over the other. And if course if you use a light modifier like a soft box that might shift colors a bit too. Also i have some color inconsistencies between the lights from the same brand . I have the A2 and and its warmer than the Ax and the same with Godox Explore 100 is greener than the V1 but both systems are only marginally noticeable . Its something specific you want ti know about this ? Let me know and i will try ti help. I have both systems and want to keep both systems and i am not influenced to take a side on these brands . Have a great day

Wow , you are on it i see!
