Oh man, this video was so helpful! I finally have begun to understand this piece of equipment. Thank you so very much!!
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks a ton Rob. Great explanation
Thank you!
Thank you very much 🙏🏽 You covered the features thoroughly and because I don’t hear any background music I could get a sense of how the flash will sound normally, for example when zooming in/ out.
It felt pretty much like I went through the user manual of this flash 📸 Thanks again 👍🏽
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you. Very detailed. Even more informative than the manual.
Happy to help.

Fantastic introduction to this flash. I just got it and this video was extremely helpful. Thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
@@RobTrek Is there a setting you'd recommend to use it with on the camera itself like M, AV, P, etc? I'm using a Canon MKIII
@@4everIcegurl You can shoot in any mode if the flash is set to TTL. So shoot in the mode that works best for the scene. However, I personally tend to shoot in full manual when using flash. It gives me the most control when balancing ambient light and flash.
@@RobTrek thanks so much
Thank you so much!! This video is a life saver

Great tutorial Rob. There is a version 1.2 for this flash available now. Cheers.
Thanks. I've never updated firmware on any of my flashes. I should probably get around to it. But everything works as is.
Great tutorial. Thank you so much!

I do not post comments specifically on youtube … however you changed my mind… Thank you for the detailed explanation for each of the settings … and making it easy for new purchase … ❤much love and way to many wishes 🎉
You're very welcome!
TCM is documented. I use this all the time with my Flashpoint Evolv 200's.
Thanks. I finally found it in the manual. Not sure how I missed it before.
Hi! Your video was better than the last two I watched so thank you! Have you done a tutorial to sync the Godox V1 to the xpro trigger? I’ve also watched other videos that I’m probably not understanding 🙈
Not yet! However, you can watch this video where I do go into some detail of using the trigger with off-camera flashes. ruclips.net/video/T4_vOu2d3AA/видео.html
@@RobTrek thank you!! I’ll do that now.
First off, excellent video. I've subscribed. I'm having trouble getting my Nikon Z9 to work with the flash. I noticed as you were going through that your flash had "TTL". My flash is showing i-TTL. When i-TTL is showing I have TCM available, but not the sync option. What's the difference? Thanks in advance.
Hi. So sorry for the late reply. I don't have a Z9, but on my Df, to activate sync, I need to make sure the flash sync speed is set to "Auto/FP" in my camera. The sync options should now show.
You’re the man Rob, that was thorough and excellent, thank you! BTW, I just bought the V1 and there is no designation for HS in the I-TTL mode. It seems like it’s only available in the Manual mode, is my flash defective? Also do you recommend returning the V1 for a pro version?
I need to know which camera you have. I'm guessing it's a Nikon. Make sure you have Auto-FP turned on in-camera. You don't need the pro version for HSS in I-TTL. It should work on the V1 non-pro. The Pro version basically has better heat management so it can fire more shots sequentially without overheating.
@@RobTrek You’re right it’s Nikon d850. It is set on Auto-FP, but I meant to say in off camera rx mode with the Godox X-proN remote it doesn’t fire faster than 1/250 sec. When it’s on camera hot shoe it fires HSS but not off camera. Also when experimenting with V1 in I-TTL mode, off camera and with camera turned off, there’s no HSS option to activate.
-- Edit -- I just checked my GODOX ad300pro and it allows HSS in TTL mode (Doesn’t have I-TTL, not sure of the difference in function). Oh just remembered you use Olympus and Sony cameras and they have TTL not i -TTL, and since I’m not sure of the difference I don’t understand the significance. But when i was shooting film i think it was TTL and not iTTL.
Hi Rob
A useful, comprehensive video. ❤
If I may go off topic, did you ever get to the bottom of why focus stacking with flash wasn’t working with the OM-1?
I’ve got that problem using a Godox V860iiio off camera with an X2T.
Apologies if you’ve already posted a solution that I’ve missed.
Regards
Keith
Thanks. Unfortunately, I haven't figured anything out yet. I don't know if it's the OM-1 or the Godox Trigger. Flashes seem to work on-camera as a stand alone unit. However, if I use the on-camera flash to trigger an off camera flash, I run into the same issue. I do have a dumb (single pin) radio trigger and receiver that works. I just have to set the power manually. amzn.to/3CHJ8XS Another option might be to try using a pc sync cable from the camera to the trigger.
Thanks for that Rob. I’ll try a PC sync cable and let you know what happens.
Hi Rob
Unfortunately the only sync cord I have doesn’t have a 2.5mm plug so that experiment is on hold.
So I tried using a setup with the subject flash, a V860ii, set to manual with optical trigger S1 and a V860iiio on camera set to 1/256 power pointed to the ceiling. Focus stacking then worked perfectly.
As with your use of a generic flash this isn’t an ideal setup as the main flash can’t be adjusted from the camera, and there’s a danger that some of the trigger flash may fall on the subject if not aimed away correctly, but it is workable.

is it possible to set the V1 S up as an off camera flash with high-speed sink using the XP pro two as a trigger?
Yes. The trigger has an HS switch just for that!
Thanks for the nice explanation.
You are welcome!
thank you for the info but I might be missing something, I have the the nikon version, when I switch mine on and in i-ttl mode there is no sync button, this only appears when I go to M (manual mode) how do I get it for I-ttl mode?? thanks
Unfortunately, I don't have the Nikon version to test. My best guess would be to check your camera menu and ensure Auto ISO is turned on and your Flash sync speed is set to 1/250 (Auto FP).
Wow now this is a complete guide. Godox should put this video in a CD on there products
Please Why is my GODOXV1 speedlite flash only flashing when my camera is on SCN mode? Doesn’t flash on manual mode.
Most likely you are using electronic/silent shutter. Switch to a mechanical shutter mode. Let me know if that worked. -Rob
If I use this as an off camera flash is there a way to use it as a continuous light?
Not really. It has a modelling lamp, but it's very weak. Kinda like a keychain flashlight.
@@RobTrek gotcha. Thanks for the video. Great info. Thanks for the quick response as well.
Excellent video
How did you get to AU mode?
You should be able to dial in by clicking the zoom button and then turning the wheel. The exception would be if batteries are low, then AU is disabled.
How do you DECREASE THE POWER if the flash is too bright?
It depends on the mode you're in. In TTL mode, you adjust exposure compensation. In Manual mode, you adjust the power setting. Either way, you click on the left side of the control dial where the +/- symbol is and then rotate the wheel.
@@RobTrek exposure compensation on the flash or exposure compensation on the camera
@@SuccessmarketingWEB on the flash
@@RobTrek Thank you so much.
Thanks a lot. Now I know that A is not equal A by Nikon
I cant contaqt this flash to my sony a7r4 why? 😢 it can take some pics and the has no contact ro camera
Make sure you get the sony "s" version. It should be labeled V1s. amzn.to/3Sk26wg Also be sure you are using mechanical shutter mode.
Hi Rob.
Between godox v860iii and godox v1 wich of them do you recomend?
Hi, Sameer. Thank you for your question. I made a video for you here: ruclips.net/video/_iLbm4NsqC8/видео.html
Hi Rob, I need help (for Fuji cameras). I have a Flashpoint R2 radio transmitter (for Fuji) and it worked great with a Flashpoint Zoom Mini (which I dropped and broke), so I got a Godox V860-III (for Fuji) but I can't get the flash to fire, what am I doing something wrong? Thank you.
The only thing I can think of is make sure the group, channel, and ID are all matched. You may want to see if there is a firmware update too.
Any idea why randomly the zoom will stick on 14mm and not move? Therefore you can't get it out of manual mode? Sony versionof 865ii
Nevermind - worked it out. The diffuser wasn't clicked fully back into it's housing. When the diffuser is out it locks at widest zoom.
Glad you figured that out!
Do you know what the color temp is when using the modeling lamp?
Hi, Ed! Yes, it's 3300k, +/-200k
@@RobTrek Thanks Rob:)
need to use my V1 as an on camera trigger can the 'slave' mode change to master?
Hi. I answered your question in this video: ruclips.net/video/KAt1r3-oo2E/видео.html
@@RobTrek thanks a ton but my strobe is the problem I easily got a friends V1 to function as a trigger. thanks for your help
Rob, this is a question about this or any godox flaash really. When the flash is in slave mode, you can still adjust the flash type (manual/ttl) and the power on this or really any flash like the ad200 etc on the flash units itself manual. Now what confuses me, on your trigger when you turn a channel on, you set the mode/power on the trigger which is what the flash uses. So what is the point of even being able to set this on the flash when in slave mode? Is there a way to make the trigger (say on any of the godox x triggers) "dumb" so that it tells the flash to fire, but respects what the user has dialed in on the flash physically rather than use what is set on the trigger?
I imagine there must be a way to do this, for example, the triggers I have seem to go only to 1/128 but pretty the flashes like the ad200, v1 can go to 1/256, so it seems like on the ad200 for example, the only way this lowest power setting is useable is to remotely trigger the flash but not have the trigger override the manual set settings on the flash itself.
Hi, Ben. I tried to answer your question here: ruclips.net/video/ppsrbDhdnKQ/видео.html
Hello. I have just bought a godox v1 to use with my OM-1. If i take a single image it is fine, but when I use it with focus stacking (in-camera), the images are only half there. The top half is black. Do you know why this is please?
My guess would be the shutter sync speed is off. Keep your shutter speed at 1/100th or slower. Let me know if that worked. -Rob
It doesn't show Shutter Speed or F Stop on my Godox V1 O with the Panasonic Lumix S5 II X.
What can be the reason?
I'm so sorry, but I don't have a Panasonic to try and duplicate your problem.
hello Rob, do i need to change WB setting on my camera to Flash or just let it auto? im still confused becuse it became yellow on pictur.
im using A6400 and V1
I'm not familiar with the a6400 specifically. However, most cameras do have settings for flash that need to be set in a different menu. First, I would try setting the WB to a fixed 5500k and compare that with a fixed 10,000k. If the WB is drastically different, then that's all you need to do. If the WB is the same, then there is a separate menu item for flash WB that you will need to find. Let me know if that makes sense.
