Great detailed tutorial here. Just received a Evolve AD200 and the X Pro S and they weren't talking to each other. I did a reset on the X Pro as you show, and now all is well in flash land! You rule!
Got my Nikon compatible one a few weeks ago. All in all its ergonomically much better than the much simpler X1T. Negatives....the modeling light control sets the modeling light to just on ( full power ) or just off. The X1T allowed you to step up the brightness of the modeling light in three steps ( on the AD600 ). Battery life is much less than the X1T, no doubt that's due to the large LCD screen. I wish the buttons on the left lined up perfectly with the group's on screen, yes it's being fussy but it bothers me all the same lol. Other than that it's much improved in terms of usability, the menu makes sense, none of those cryptic secret button presses and for those with dwindling eyesight the screen is bright and clear. Some might miss the hotshoe passthrough but it's a feature I never used on the X1T. Oh and it's USB C connection and it's likely you won't have one lying around ( no cables are supplied in the box.) As it happens I did have 2 such cables so it didn't bother me but you'll probably have to budget $15 for a compatible cable if you ever want to update the firmware 😊
Thanks a lot for this comprehensive video , my question is shouldn't we change any setting on the camera itself to connect these two devices? Also please put a video like how to connect xpro s to AD200 flash .
Have you done a "How to Video" Godox TT 685 S for Sony with Godox X1 T 2.4G for Sony. Can't change the transmitter to TTL/M mode. Not sure if its a defective unit. I have read the manual & followed all the RUclips videos to a tee But transmitter stays the same A/B/C on or off only.
@@LavikkaPhotography , all online Godox info seems to be Old 2-3 years & only for Windows, I'm a Mac user. It doesn't recognize file at download to open. :(
Great video as always. My only issue has been using the trigger in busrt mode with my ad 200... Would live any tips on how to fix this.? Thank you and have a great day💯
The ad200 isn't really great at bursting. Turn the flash power down to 1/16 or 1/32 power and change the burst rate on the camera to 3fps or slow burst. Then it should work if everything is fully charged.
thank you so much for this video, it helped me allot, very clear and easy to understand, I bought two Godox v860ll's when I bought my A7r lll when it first came out,, and I have been waiting forever to get my hands on the the xpro s transmitter witch I just got, so now I am trying to learn the transmitter and the lights, and this video helped me allot, now I am hoping to find a video as good as this one for the speed lights, I haven't played with them yet because I bought them for off camera flash and I didn't have a transmitter
Great vid! I have a question for you though... Using the XProS and the X1RS connected to a strobe, I have only been able to fire the flash using the "test" button on either godox device, however the with the XPROS mounted to an A6000, the camera will not trigger the flash. Any thoughts? I've got it on default setting channel 1, group A, either TTL or manual.
I`m so glad with the Godox-System on my Sony a7 ii: TTL and HSS work best. If you press the Sync button on the Godox XPro[s] the camera allows to shoot with shorter exposure time than the sync speed. Now I got the Godox TT685 for Fuji (!) , the AD200 and the AD600 for Off camera shooting. All works best together. For On camera Flash I use a short bracket because my TT685 is made for Fuji. It' s a pitty, that Yongnuo doesn' t has a Sony Transmitter. So I can' t use my Yongnuo Flashes any more. Thank you for your Video. Regards from Hamburg
The only thing I don't like about this trigger is that the on/off slider buttons on the right are almost too smooth and that I would accidentally bump it. The button slides too easy and wish it was a little tighter. Other than that its a great trigger.
What are your camera settings? I have the same Godox trigger and Sony a7R3 and I get different results when I turn on/off WL. Is the setting that makes more sense- WL on with Fill Flash Mode on? Fill Flash, however, tends to darken the background; and I am not shooting with slow shutter either. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
Hi great vids as alway .I was wondering if you could answer a question.( Xpro trigger... Multi Flash Mode - Channels EG; A-B-C) I cannot seem to find a way to Have multi Flash on EG: A-B and C on say Manuel. they all multi Flash together! Can it be done or as I am doing to a degree A Multi - and using B-C for eg on Slave mode. Thanks again for all your Vids.
It's not clear to me if the TCM function makes sense to use it or how to choose the type of flash to use when there are different flashes in the groups. You can only choose one, what happens with the others? How does it affect if you choose, for example, the main light or just the speedlight? I've looked for information on this and haven't found a good explanation, you don't talk about it either, you just chose one from the list without giving any further explanation. If you know anything else, please leave a comment.
@marcelocampoamor4761 Thanks for asking. The time function just converts ttl settings into manual settings. It's like miles per gallon vs miles per liter on car.
Thanks for a great video! I wonder how can You trigger the camera (besides using Sony App) when You use that transmitter. You told something about syncing it with X1 receiver. Can You explain it a bit more? Thanks!
Hey, love you videos! I have a question for you. Have you run into a problem where the flash doesn’t fire on every shot? This happens often enough that it drives me crazy!
just came across this vid as i just bought this trigger aswell as the ad400 and im usingn my a7rll. My flash only works in auto not manual when switched on the camera, any idea how to fix that?
Kind of a new-bi question. I have an A7RII, hvl-58 & hvl-60 sony flashes. I just bought what you are showing here. So far, it only seems to be triggering the flash, i.e. what I set on the commander seems to have no impact on how the flashes perform. Are the settings you choose on the commander supposed to "over-ride" whatever the flashes settings are? Is there a way that the sony flashes have to be set up first? Is there a specific way the camera should be setup? Hope this makes some sense - thanks for any assistance.
Love Godox for what they have done, on that note the main issue(s) are if you're using non Godox strobes you can not control the lights even with the firmware updates. All you have is a trigger it's looking like Yongnuo is the only flash controller that will work with your mix of light.
What if I wanted to use all of these flashes plus a on camera speedlight. How would I do that with the trigger. Basically does the trigger have to be on the camera to work all flashes ,even if I have a speedlight on camera ?
Great video! Im having trouble with setting up ad600 pro and sony hvl f60rm for off camera flash. I am using the godox X1RS with the godox XproS TTL transmitter for sony camera. I cant seem to get both working at the same time when pressing shutter.
Is it true that the X-Pro S when hooked up to the Sony A7iii (or even other Sony FF mirrorless models) in TTL mode under exposes at apertures wider than F4? I am holding back my purchase of the Godox V860ii-S and X-Pro S because of this issue. Appreciate a reply. Thanks.
Some flashes have a zoom function so yes you can match the focal length of the lens to make sure the light spread covers it or go the other way and make the flash more of a spot than a fill.
HELLO! - GREAT INFORMATIVE VIDEO! THANK YOU! - One request.....Can you please make a video on how to update the Godox2 firmware for the Xpro-s that addresses the constant misfires that occur during photo shoots. Every 3 or 4th shot misfires on my A7riii using the Xpro-s with 5 ad200 lights. (I went to the Godox website to the firmware download page. I downloaded the Godox2 firmware updater app. I udated the driver on the computer, but when I tried to load the .dfu file it was non existent. PLEASE HELP!!! THANK YOU!
Still as of June 2022, TTL mode does not work on Sony cameras. Images are underexposed by 4-5 stops. Speedlights work normally on camera, but not with XProS.
Actually, after last FW update, the AF illumination works on some sony full frame bodies (I tested on my a7ii) on the X1t. I would like to buy another one, and I would like to try the X Pro, doesn't still work the AF illumination like the X1ts? Thanks!
Just received the Godox xpro(s) flash trigger and tried to link it up to the Godox TT350(s) but can't even get a test fire. Followed your video to the letter and couldn't get the flash to fire at all with the trigger mounted on the hot shoe of an Sony a6500. Please advise. Thank you.
question for you. will this transmitter set the mode on non godox flashes but are mounted on the X1ttl sony wireless trigger. reason i ask is because only the godox flashes changed modes when i used the x pro s transmitter
Hi! Please suggest what I have to do. Yesterday I bought the Godox system: AD600pro and Xpro-S. Main goal - to use as outdoor flash with HSS. I use Sony A7 R 3. And when I installed and switched on all my equipment (sony a7R3+ xpros+ad600pro), turned on HSS mode on xpros and AD600 PRO I FOUND THAT IT WORKS GOOD IN TTL MODE BUT IF I TRIED TO SWITCH INTO MANUAL MODE - THE FLASH IS WORKED FIRST TIME, AND THAN, IT'S NOT WORKING IF I MAKING A PHOTO. THE SAME SITUATION WITH MANUAL MODE WITHOUT HSS. I tried to use didderent channels, groups, Ids but situation is the same. In manual mode flash is not working every time. WHAT DO I WRONG?
it's interesting. I got one question though. With the A7R3 in EFCS mode and using the X1T, i experienced misfires. After some discussions with others on a sony fb group, it appears that the culprit is the electronic first curtain shutter. With mechanical shutter only, there's no misfires. When you have time, can you check this issue for me with A7R3+XPro-S combo?
Thank you for this nice explanation. I have an A6500 with XProS with the TT685s but I just can not set the SProS to TTL. The only option it give me is off to Multi. I don't know what I am doing wrong. On the Flash I can select TTL but the second I fire with the camera it gets switched back to Multi . Can you please help?! Thank you!
This is kind of off topic but I am having issues with this trigger consistently miss-firing the ad200’s. Very sporadic.... sometimes I can take 2-4 pictures and no flash will be sent to the lights then all of a sudden the system all works for a dozen shots. All random. I’ve tried everything to get this to work without issue and it will not. Anyone have this issue and know a potential fix with this trigger. I am using Sony a9.... doesn’t matter what lens is being used. Same result. Thanks for the suggestions in advance :)
Im using with A7 iii and with Nikon SB600&X1 TTL. When i tested flash by pressing the flash icon on X Pro S, it worked fine. But when i shot by Sony, nothing happened. What should i set up on Sony camera? Thanks.
I need help! There is a delay in my trigger when firing. I have godox xpro sony + godox ad200pro. There is definitely .5-1sec delay. When i turn off the godox xpro my shutter has no delay. How do i fix this?
IS the camera set on flash + fill? What shutter speed are you shooting at? On the x Pro there is a delay feature in the menu that can be adujsted but its for thousands of a sec.
These remote triggers have way to may buttons/features for the sometimes hobbyist. My goodness you would constantly be pulling the manual out to (re-learn) it every time.
I bought the xpro for Sony to use with my A73 and Godox ad200, but I have to say it doesn't work very well. Out of 20 shots, the flash fires on perhaps 10, and sometimes it doesn't fire for several exposures in a row. I wonder if I have a defect product, has anyone else experienced the same problem? EDIT: after updating the firmware it works perfectly!
I have the Godox AD600 using the Godox XPro with Sony A9. Although I select HSS on the strobe, the shutter will only allow up to 1/250. Any ideas???? Many thanks!!!
I have 2 questions, I really need an xt1 as receiver? How I can connect my sony A6400 + godox xpro s + godox 860 II?? For the momento when I click the fire button it doest release the flash :(
No receiver needed. Make sure the transmitter and flash are on the same group and same channel. If you are shooting over 200th of a second then hss needs to be turned on both the transmitter and flash. Camera needs to be on flash +fill. on the 860II make sure the menu is closed and you are back at the main screen.
The lowerst setting in the M Mode ist at the Xpro S is 1/128 ? My Godox AD 200pro goes to 1/256. How can i set the Xpro to go to 1/256? Or is it impossible?
I have a question that if I buy Godox XPro TTL Wireless Flash Trigger for Sony but i have the flash godox v860ii for canon mount, is it still work if I use Godox XPro TTL Wireless Flash Trigger for Sony?
Hi! I’m using the Xerox-s trigger on the a7r3 outdoors with AD200 in HSS mostly! But, to get the correct Ambient exposure I have to switch the Xpro-s to “OFF”. I then put it ON to fire the flash... Anyone knows why? Coming from Fuji I didn’t have to do this!
The camera automatically switches modes once you have a flash or trigger on the camera when they're turned on. I apologize I can't remember the name at this point (auto exposure preview effect?) but you can customize a button which you will have to hold to get a ambient light reading. Kinda bs in my opinion but maybe they'll change this in firmware.
I got Xpro-s and receiver X1R-s on my sony HVL-F45 and can't change power flash, zoom is works by the transmitter but power of flash not changing. Can some help plz
Have you had any misfire issues? I have the A7Riii and just purchased the R2 pro trigger and for some reason I'm having misfire issues. It doesn't happen when I use the test button but when I'm actually shooting it tends to misfire and I can't figure out why.
I did at first. Have the auto focus set to af-a seem to be an issue on mine. changed it to af-c and it works fine. Sent a note to Godox. They had me reinstall the 1.0 firmware on the transmitter. If my fix doesn't work then PM me with your email and I will send you the firmware to reinstall.
I recently purchased a Flashpoint xpro R2 for Sony and realized when using non native lens w/ adapter I loose aperture 3rds when shooting flash. I can shoot whole stops like 1.4 , 2, 2.8 and so on but stops in between I experience a delay of 1 - 1.5 seconds between shutter press and flash firing. I tried out a xpro R2 Canon version and I regained all my aperture ranges while loosing HSS and TTL availabilities as expected. Possible I have a faulty xpro r2 Sony trigger? I don’t see any firmware update at all for the Sony version.
They are your groups. If you want to flashes to be the same settings then put them both on group a if you want them to have different settings then assign a different group to each flash.

Great detailed tutorial here. Just received a Evolve AD200 and the X Pro S and they weren't talking to each other. I did a reset on the X Pro as you show, and now all is well in flash land! You rule!
I appreciated the pace at which you spoke and the clear instructions. I was able to follow along very nicely. Well done and thank you for this!
Thank you for helping those of us who have the need to get gear that works and plays well with others.
I updated mine, now I can set the AF style from DSLR to MILC and now the infrared feature works.
Best explanation on how to set up this transmitter.
Great video. Can you also review what settings need to be changed on the Sony camera when you use this trigger?
Thanks, Joe

The letters A, B ,C ..., which you are referring to as “group”, are actually individual flash units.

question for you. will this transmitter set the mode on non godox flashes but are mounted on the X1ttl sony wireless trigger. reason i ask is because only the godox flashes changed modes when i used the x pro s transmitter
Hi!
Please suggest what I have to do. Yesterday I bought the Godox system: AD600pro and Xpro-S.
Main goal - to use as outdoor flash with HSS.
I use Sony A7 R 3.
And when I installed and switched on all my equipment (sony a7R3+ xpros+ad600pro), turned on HSS mode on xpros and AD600 PRO I FOUND THAT IT WORKS GOOD IN TTL MODE BUT IF I TRIED TO SWITCH INTO MANUAL MODE - THE FLASH IS WORKED FIRST TIME, AND THAN, IT'S NOT WORKING IF I MAKING A PHOTO. THE SAME SITUATION WITH MANUAL MODE WITHOUT HSS.
I tried to use didderent channels, groups, Ids but situation is the same. In manual mode flash is not working every time.
WHAT DO I WRONG?
How do you set up the x pro s with AD 400 Pro on Sony A7rii
So this isn’t compatible for a Sony A77 ?
How do you set up your Sony (a6100) camera to the x pro trigger ? My camera won’t let me change the wireless flash mode

Super thorough and at a great pace, thank you!
I got Godox X1T which does not work on Sony a7R IV. I dont know why. Can someone please answer me? Thank you
I need help! There is a delay in my trigger when firing. I have godox xpro sony + godox ad200pro. There is definitely .5-1sec delay. When i turn off the godox xpro my shutter has no delay. How do i fix this?
IS the camera set on flash + fill? What shutter speed are you shooting at? On the x Pro there is a delay feature in the menu that can be adujsted but its for thousands of a sec.
to think about that af illumination, the same issue even using the Sony Brand flash like f43m at a6000..
These remote triggers have way to may buttons/features for the sometimes hobbyist. My goodness you would constantly be pulling the manual out to (re-learn) it every time.
I bought the xpro for Sony to use with my A73 and Godox ad200, but I have to say it doesn't work very well. Out of 20 shots, the flash fires on perhaps 10, and sometimes it doesn't fire for several exposures in a row. I wonder if I have a defect product, has anyone else experienced the same problem? EDIT: after updating the firmware it works perfectly!
It can do that when the af is set to auto or af-s. There is a firmware update on Godox's site that should fix it.
Thanks, I'll check it out!
Is there a rear curtain sync setting? I see it on other setup demos for canon....I have a Sony A7iii.
.
Turn off hhs on the xpros and enable rear curt sync on the camera in the menu.
I have the Godox AD600 using the Godox XPro with Sony A9. Although I select HSS on the strobe, the shutter will only allow up to 1/250. Any ideas???? Many thanks!!!
enable hss on the transmitter too.
@@LavikkaPhotography 🤦🏼♂️ you're absolutely right! Many thanks. I usually use the strobe in the studio and hadn't used the HSS function. Top marks :)
Hi... i’m newbies of sony and using a77.. can this commander use an adapter onto the body and control the receiver which will use ad200?
It should work with the Sony adapter. www.adorama.com/isoadp.html?gclid=EAIaIQobChMI9brT-NO13QIVB8JkCh1_BQYOEAQYBSABEgLn7vD_BwE
thank you for your advise!
I have 2 questions, I really need an xt1 as receiver? How I can connect my sony A6400 + godox xpro s + godox 860 II?? For the momento when I click the fire button it doest release the flash :(
No receiver needed. Make sure the transmitter and flash are on the same group and same channel. If you are shooting over 200th of a second then hss needs to be turned on both the transmitter and flash. Camera needs to be on flash +fill. on the 860II make sure the menu is closed and you are back at the main screen.
I would like to know if this trigger works for Sony A6100. Does anybody tried?
The lowerst setting in the M Mode ist at the Xpro S is 1/128 ? My Godox AD 200pro goes to 1/256. How can i set the Xpro to go to 1/256? Or is it impossible?
You can change it in the custom settings in the menu
is this compatible with sony HVL F60rm flash and sony a 7III ?
no. It need to talk to a godox flash.
Hi
does the godox XPro -S work with sony hvl-f32m and godox ad400pro simultaneous?
thanks
Only with optical sync. Ditch the sony flash and get a v250s instead... Just sayin.
whats a decent radio trigger to trigger these on Sony?
Focus Assist works with mirrorless now! Just update the firmware on the transmitter.
It does on the Xt1-s but not on the X-pro s yet. I'm anxious for it so looking every day.
I'm hoping they update the V860ii-S for this function too!
I have a question that if I buy Godox XPro TTL Wireless Flash Trigger for Sony but i have the flash godox v860ii for canon mount, is it still work if I use Godox XPro TTL Wireless Flash Trigger for Sony?
Yes it will. Off the camera the flashes have the same functionality.
This helped me a lot! Thank you so much!
I'm using the XProS with a single off-camera TT685S, but having a tricky time getting them to communicate. Any suggestions?
did you find a solution in the end? I have that flash too (only that one)
@@alpinewonders no, I didn't officially. I think I was able to just experiment and get decent results. I don't use a flash that much.
nice thank you, straight to the point, got what i needed
Hi! I’m using the Xerox-s trigger on the a7r3 outdoors with AD200 in HSS mostly! But, to get the correct Ambient exposure I have to switch the Xpro-s to “OFF”. I then put it ON to fire the flash... Anyone knows why? Coming from Fuji I didn’t have to do this!
The camera automatically switches modes once you have a flash or trigger on the camera when they're turned on. I apologize I can't remember the name at this point (auto exposure preview effect?) but you can customize a button which you will have to hold to get a ambient light reading. Kinda bs in my opinion but maybe they'll change this in firmware.
I found the video from Robert Hall that helped me out--- ruclips.net/video/yR4u-sNXTtc/видео.html
I got Xpro-s and receiver X1R-s on my sony HVL-F45 and can't change power flash, zoom is works by the transmitter but power of flash not changing. Can some help plz
You can only change the power remotely if it's a Godox flash.
@@LavikkaPhotography it's same for all trasnmiters, excluding sony?
Have you had any misfire issues? I have the A7Riii and just purchased the R2 pro trigger and for some reason I'm having misfire issues. It doesn't happen when I use the test button but when I'm actually shooting it tends to misfire and I can't figure out why.
I did at first. Have the auto focus set to af-a seem to be an issue on mine. changed it to af-c and it works fine. Sent a note to Godox. They had me reinstall the 1.0 firmware on the transmitter. If my fix doesn't work then PM me with your email and I will send you the firmware to reinstall.
I'm having the same issue. Any chance you could pm the firmware. Thanks
Please help me, send me firmware 1.0 to cloudy.allstar@gmail.com
I recently purchased a Flashpoint xpro R2 for Sony and realized when using non native lens w/ adapter I loose aperture 3rds when shooting flash. I can shoot whole stops like 1.4 , 2, 2.8 and so on but stops in between I experience a delay of 1 - 1.5 seconds between shutter press and flash firing. I tried out a xpro R2 Canon version and I regained all my aperture ranges while loosing HSS and TTL availabilities as expected. Possible I have a faulty xpro r2 Sony trigger? I don’t see any firmware update at all for the Sony version.
I'm thinking of buying the XProC (not XProS) to use for HSS on my Sony A7R2 with Canon 600Ex-RT AND a Godox AD200. Think this will this work?
I can not to pair it with Sony a7R2 with stupid Flash Sony HVL 45RM 😢😢😢, trough Godox X pro S
Can i use it(Godox xpro sony) for my sony a7r2 with sony hvl f43m as a off-camera flash with the godox X1R receiver.
Sorry no. Only Godox flashes.
Thanks for the replay. Is there any solution to my problem.
If I have only one light, do I have multiple groups?
no but you can put multiple lights on to one group.
Can I use this on my Canon??
You can use the Canon version on your Canon
Will the XPRO-S trigger a Canon 600EX-RT?
Not directly. You need to get the x1 receiver to attach to the flash.
can i connect this to tt680 on ttl mode and another tt600 on manual mode at the same time?
Yes you can but the X-Pro will convert the TTL to manual.
Thanks, how about the zoom? it does not work remotely?
It does on godox flashes that have the zoom function.
@@LavikkaPhotography I have the zoom on Godox V860iiO , works on the flash but not remotely? I dont have the latest firmware update installed yet?
Will this work with an older model like the a7ii?
definitely.
Can you connect xpro Sony to canon speedlite? Thanks. If so how
You can but you have to get the XT1 trigger for canon then the XPro-s can talk to it. amzn.to/2QVmiTo
How do you define your A, B and C?
They are your groups. If you want to flashes to be the same settings then put them both on group a if you want them to have different settings then assign a different group to each flash.
@@LavikkaPhotography thanks!
this works on my Sony A6500??? can someone answer pls. i want to buy.
yes
Will it work on the Sony A7III?
Yes it will.
