Does the new XPro II for Canon work correctly on the R5/R6 when using HSS and TTL simultaneously? The original XProC would default to full power when using HSS and TTL on the R5/R6. Godox acknowledged the problem but never came up with a fix. Hopefully this is it.

Am I the only Photographer that wishes that the new model could rotate vertically, so that you can read the display when your camera is mounted above your eye level?

Thank you so much for making this, I just got my XPro II for Nikon, and this video was a great and thorough rundown of all the capabilities and how to use them.

Absolutely the best tutorial online. You guys always deliver. Thank you so much!

Excellent guide. Thank you so much for creating this!

Brilliant tutorial. This has saved me so much learning time. Thanks!

Thanks - very useful. Just got this specific combo.

Great video, I have now owned all these versions! I have a lot of Godox studio strobes and LED lights, V1's and couple AD200's .the list goes on. Love my Godox equipment.

I can't find words to describe how useful this video is Thanks a lot great jop

I was struggling to make sense of the two items and had watched a few tubes. Came across yours and wow all was clear and I appreciated seeing the trigger and speedlite screens which I could see and check steeply step with mine. Thank you.

A big thank you for an immaculate walk through.

A really great video thank you very much for taking the time to put this together it was extremely helpful. The only thing, and I'm not done yet with your video, but the one thing that drove me crazy is that I had 2 600 units 1 200 unit and two Nikon SB 800 flashes on Godox receivers and I could not get the Nikons on group D and group E to go into TTL. After a lot of frustration and a lot of digging I learned that TTL is only available on channels A B and C. Channels D and E only allowed for manual or off. Of course I guess you could put all the lights on channel A and go to TTL but individually if you assign them separate channels channel D and E only allow for on manual and off. No TTL. I THINK THE MANUAL AND THE DIRECTIONS NEED TO BE MUCH CLEARER ON THIS FACT I THOUGHT SOMETHING WAS WRONG WITH MY EQUIPMENT C

Thank you for your detail oriented tutorial. Now I feel much more comfortable and less nervous trying to navigate the new unit.

Another great instructional video! You deserve our Godox purchases

BLESS YOU I was losing my marbles trying to figure out why I didn’t have access to TTL. Thank you

Very helpful and informative! Thank you for making this video. The only thing I was hoping you could cover is what AUTO means in Zoom. Rather than the 24-200. Thanks!

Cool to see this thing finally updated. But big shame to see the issue with the rechargeable batteries is still there. Buying regular batteries just for my trigger is a pain! Pretty much my only gripe with the Godox system

Just bought one of these units, fantastic "Talk me there" easy to follow and well presented!

What a cumbersome way to go to TCM!! What happened to the TCM button that you push without going into the menu to set it up for an individual light? TCM is very useful to shoot in TTL and then show a manual setting to work from there. It takes the place of a light meter!

Bought a Xpro2 Nikon June 2023 and a V1. Work fine with the Nikon Z9 and Z8. Bought an AD 400 early April 2024 and the XPro 2 is not triggering the SD400 from the Z9 or Z8 . I had not tried it since updating firmware to 5.0 and 2.0. The XPro2 dose work fine with the D850. The V1 though some work fine on the Z9 and Z8 as a stand alone flash and works as a trigger. Firmware on the XPro2 is 1.0, I have not been successful getting the firmware update to work and it’s not clear if it will address the problem. The XPro is a very nice controller.

Brilliant video and information 👍also FYI and the main reason I bought this, is it enable to have WYSIWYG on Sony A series; when the trigger is on for ambient shots 👍👍

Great video....I received my Godox XPro II and my big disappointment was it did not come with a pouch and I was expecting it to tilt vertically so to see upright.

Excellent presentation. The best I’ve seen. Having the index is a great help.

Super helpful video! I needed a complete walk through of this new controller and you delivered! Thank you!

Really great, helpful, video thank you. 👍

Not sure if I’m doing something wrong, but if I chose the 858 option, it turns off controls on trigger. Only way to change strobe settings is with the meter. That’s exactly like the old app. Option. Is there really no 2 way communication between trigger and meter?

Great presentation. Answered all my questions. Thanks!

Would love to see a demo of this controller used in conjunction with the Godox Flash app 📱📸

excellent video. very clearly explained

the tcm function should be used all the time, as when light doesn't change, you want the settings LOCK that manual gives you, but the convenience of ttl to compute the exposure for you; so if, like a wedding photographer you go from inside to outside in the sunshine, then being able to 'assess conditions' and lock the setting in, ahead of time, so you just write down what each setting is, then it speeds up workflow.

How about any new version of X2T ?

Thinking of getting this. I already have a x2t but the larger screen and tcm is very inviting.

THANK YOU!!!

Great tutorial.

Nice video. Thanks. I am using the old XPro for Canon, and as far as I can see the only new features are the bluetooth menu, the user menu and the hot shoe locking mechanism. I can get Multi mode from the old one, and a bunch of channels if needed. Also I like the availability of TCM by long-pressing the zoom button. When shooting in HSS most light meters will not work. I then use TTL and convert to manual via TCM.

Thank you for the info!

Thank you so much! Very usefull.

❤thanks 😊

I beg to differ a bit (it wasn't all we need to know on this controller). Perhaps it is intuitive, but you didn't cover how to upgrade the controller if there was a firmware update (I just purchased this controller). There may be other videos or publications telling how to do it and the hardware needed. Since the video was this long, throwing that in would have been helpful. So, if you come back to the comments, what do I need and how do you update it?

When you review the Godox app, I would be interested in seeing it compared to the Flashpoint R2 app, which I find unreliable. Want to know if this controller is worth the app upgrade.

Amazing! Thank you for this video!

Just watched this a couple of times as could not get 3x v860iii to continually change the setting from the Xpro ii It was the distance setting!! Now I just seem to struggle with the zoom settings working and checked they are all at 90 degrees with no deflectors on. Om Systems OM1 ?? Can I just add this video was a dream to work with though, thanks for the effort you have gone into 👌👌

56:22 I wish they could somehow bring user settings to the main screen - I have scenarios when I'd want to have a one button switch between whole sets of lights and going into the menu (or toggling groups one by one the old way) for that would be too slow.

good. Perfect, Thank you for all

Thanks much, awesome job!

When I turn on my XPro II, it disables my "Apply Settings to Live View" in my mirrorless Nikon Z6. This has been a complaint from Nikon users with other Godox triggers. This is fine when working in a studio, but while outside working with HSS, I like to see what the background will look like before applying the flash. Is this the same issue with other cameras? The workaround is to turn off the trigger, get the background setting, then turn on the trigger. An extra step, but it works.

The V1 has a controller built in too.

1:32 Thank you for pointing that out. I was wondering if this is the same triggers that Adorama labeled as R2 Mark 2 and it is NOT.

I recently purchase a new X pro II N trigger. Everything is working fine in iTTL mode. My issue is when I switched to manual mode the unit isn't controlling my flash output. I'm using a Nikon Z9 with a Nikon speedlight SB-910. Im also using a X1R-N receiver along with my S Pro II -N. thanks for any help you can provide.

Can you do this same exact video with a canon in 2024

Great..BUT will this fix the HHS not working with the PANASONIC LUMIX S cameras? All my Godox from AD200PRO to 850II don't work in HHS with the XPro I

Godox + Sekonic is a real snub. New ownership and management of Godox would be superb!!!

Hi I’ve just bought the X pro II and I’m trying to connect it to the ml60 bi but it won’t connect can you help ? Thanks

I am able to fire the flash with the test button on my trigger, but not through the camera shuttter. Am I missing a something or have it on the wrong settings? Shooting with a Canon 5d Mark IV.

thank you

Can this be fired with a foot switch? Im wanting to trigger several cameras at one time each set with continuous frame rate.

Wheres the video of the godox app?

I recently bought XProIIL for my Leica and XProIIO for Olympus and Panasonic. The TTL on XProIIL did not function with my Leica SL2-S and Leica Q2. I had to use manual control. The firmware version on my XProIIL is V1.1. Is there a way I can fix the TTL issues with my Leica?

I have two ad200's and the XPROIIL. I have never been able to update the firmware on the ad200 pro. I can only use it in manual. Is there a service somewhere that can help updating the firmware?

AWESOME TUTORIAL BUT MY TRIGGER NOT SYNCING WITH MY FLASH . SIGHSSS

The FP Mark II may not have all of the new features, but it has many of them. Backlit buttons. Channel scan. Flip lock. Individual modeling lamp control. USB C Firmware update. Bluetooth. All of these were included years ago in the FP R2 Pro Mark II. It also has an extra setting available in the "Shoot" menu that allows only the App to change power levels from a paired smart phone, in addition to single and multiple shooters. You do have to put gaffer tape on the battery cover to hold it on, just like the original Godox XPro. 😆

Group. Channel. *ID Number.* If the light has an ID number set, unless the same ID number is set in the transmitter, it ain't gonna fire the light. I have all of my Godox/FP devices set to the same ID number as the default channel number I use. Once set on each device, I never change the ID number, even if I need to change the channel number due to 2.4GHz interference.

So how do you download an update??

Hi. I've got a the fuji version of the XProii, and I'd like to switch my flashes (AD600 Pro and V860ii) to HSS. However, my trigger does not show the "SYNC" over the second button like I see in your video. It's just blank. I updated my firmware to V1.4. Any suggestions?

Great video really handy. With the saved settings does that just save the settings for the lights or does it include all the other menu settings, HSS etc.

The memory save/load feature is what I've been waiting for a long time but it's a bit buried in the menu... they need a dedicated save/load button so you can save/load a preset with no more than 2 button presses

Thanks for trying like most things today they are extremely complex?

will this new trigger work with a flashpoint Xplor600 strobe light because my original xpro does not sync with that strobe.

Nice, well done ✅👍🏻🔥

*if you turn on "Legacy hot shoes", HSS not working"

Thanks a lot for the chrystal clear walkthrough explanetion!! Greetings fron Dallas, TX.

*can you explain "shutter fire flash" with remote?*

This was a very good video!!!! But how come B&H sales this for $89.00 and yours is $122.00 they seam to be the same Thank you

Can you show me how to use this same trigger with a canon 430ex II 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿

So I signed up for taking photos and videos at an event. Wondering if I should just use my flash on top of my camera or should I buy a trigger?

when i put both flash and trigger into high speed sync my shutter still wont go past 200 and i have the ad400pro with the xproii n on a z6ii so i know it should be able to do it.

Thank you for the videos, it is helping a lot. One question though, I have the x2t and the V1 flash and I couldn't set it to work in high speed sync. Does it is posible? Thanks again.

this should cost money .. thank you somuch.

Sony does not have TTL passthrough.

There were quite a few inaccuracies and even some plain wrong info. You'd think Strobepro should know their own equipment. For example ~ @41:10 he says that only the new Xpro-II has that extended number of groups (going beyound A to E) when in fact the original Xpro also has that exact same feature.It would have also been helpful to explain to inexperienced users that once you set that extended number of groups it's bye-bye TTL on any group. There are also a couple other things but I'm too lazy to write.

Would be nice if they improved build quality. I know it's the absolute low-end of equipment, and is accordingly priced - which is nice - but still, just slightly thicker plastic would be nice :)

Hi, thanks for the vidéo, but I am very disappointed, I bought this trigger for my Leica Q2 and Sl2-s and I was surprised when I saw that it works perfectly with the Q2 but only at 1/250s max with the Sl2-S. I don't understand why it works with the SL2 and not the Sl2-S. I asked Godox for an eventual firmware update and this is their answer: "Now we can't tell you for sure that there must be firmware to solve this problem in the future, but our technicians have already learned about this problem, and they also need time to study to see if there is any solution (such as updating the firmware)" The Profoto Connect Pro works with the SL2-S so why not the Godox? ☹

There is an engineering flaw with that type of locking mechanism and Nikon cameras. The pin that is suppose to sit down in hole to lock on doesn’t fit. You never have to use little button to release and it never locks firmly on to camera ( just whatever tension you can apply to it ). With my Z9, it constantly loses communication and viewfinder goes black. I tested the locking mechanism with 4 Godox speed lights on 7 different Nikon bodies. None locked on.

Great video ! Just 1 question for now . At 21:55 you go between Manual Mode / OFF/ and TTL by simply pushing the mode button. I’m having a problem and can only switch between manual mode and off. What am I doing wrong ?

Thanks for this video. Does the Godox XPro II works fully together with a Nikon SB5000 and SB800?

Hi will this trigger the xtr16 and xtr16s with the ad360 and v860c ? thank you for the well explained video.

I honestly don't like the new Godox hotshoe locks. I appreciate that they tried to make it better and uniform across the board...but in general, think it's a flimsier implementation compared to the others.

mines didnt have the QR code

What function (if any) does a double press on the group buttons have? I’m hoping that it works as a quick way to switch groups on and off or at least a mode change

You say not to put different types of lights on the same group, but can you fire two groups at the same time? In my case, if I'm shooting a large room, I frequently setup 2-3 speedlites around the room. If I have a subject in the fill zone of one speedlite, I only want to trigger that one. But if I have a subject kind of in between or a large group, I might want to fire all of them. Is there a way do that?

Does this canon version of this new trigger have the electronic contacts for the r3 and r7 ?

I’m using this controller and I have few issues ,one of them is that I get different exposures if I set my godox mf12 to different groups but keep settings the same,another one is that multi mode when turned on does not work,my flashes still fire only once with only one picture but that might be because they are macro flashes no Speedlites and don’t support this function?

does the 'legacy hot shoe' allow the trigger to work on a cold shoe as well, eg for leaf shuttered film cameras, where only a cold shoe is provided?

i hate that i have to go to menu to change the channel. i have had to change channels multiple times on a shoot because different photographers were using the various channels . Channel needs to have a button

Any ETA on that Bluetooth video? I just ordered one of these from you guys and I can't see the device in the Godox app or even in the list of BT devices available for pairing. Are we going to be stuck waiting for them to officially announce it and make a page for it and then release a v1.1 firmware?

I switched from profoto b2 to godox ad300 + xpro II. TTL works fine, but i cant understand why godox doesn't show me power of flash after shoot in ttl mode. And second - I cant understand is exposure correct or not - profoto blinks if picture was over or underexposed. I read instruction for trigger and flash, but didnt find how to see those two params(

Can you use it as shutter trigger like the X2?

Does the Godox XPro II N also support the NIKON Z 9 100% with all functions ?

In the video you say that adorama Flashpoint R2 Pro MarkII "Where they just change some buttons" which is wrong, Guess you never tried this unit or spend a few minutes to research. I have been using the flashpoint trigger since that came out. Turn style lock - Yes it has that locking system (also you said this is enough for some to upgrade) USB-C - Yes it has that Mac and Windows software for firmware updates - Yes Bluetooth - Yes even if I don't know the godox new app could be better More buttons for quick qccess - Yes Large Text High Sync Delay Setting Scan function - yes Button Backlighting - yes As you se it has most of the futures of that godox xpro II and you say some changed some buttons is nonsen. The drawback of the Flashpoint is that it seems that they don't update the firwamre that often and it's only sold by adorama ( you can till order to other countrys, I orde mine to europe) I would more say that this godox xpro II is a small upgrade to the Flashpoint trigger. Maybe this has better firmware I been useing this for canon and sony ony so don't know about the other brand but this could be improved rability I would be very interested how you came to the conclusion of this just changed some buttons...

Will these fire the Neewer Q3 strobes? I have the trigger for them but I'm just curious. I shoot cars for a magazine and use 3 Gododx ad600s but I am getting into the neewer Q3 200ws strobes simply because they are easier to transport.
