    Thank you so much Jesse. I've been waiting for a clear tutorial. This was it. I have this with the X2T. Great combo. As someone new to flash, I eventually got everything working but didn't quite know how. I would hit something and everything would stop working - and I'd spend the rest of the evening in the dark wondering what I'd done wrong. This was very clear. 🙂

    The Godox V860iii is not compatible with the settings of in camera body flash control available with newer Sony camera like A7IV, A7RV. The settings called “external flash settings “ under flash settings in these cameras is greyed out when V860iii is attached on hot shoe or connected as off camera flash. Can a firmware update to V860iii be a solution to make it compatible with a very useful function within camera body to use the Godox flash to its fullest potential like the Sony Flashes? Kindly reply

    Buongiorno ottimo video. Con Il flash GodoxV860III S mi ci trovo molto bene, ma vorrei farti una domanda, quando lo utilizzo in TTL con macchina sony quando premo il pulsante di scatto per ctturare l'attimo che voglio io, il flash naturalmente essendo in TTL fa dei lampeggi prima di fare il lampo definitivo e solo allora scatta l'otturatore, quindi scattando in ritardo di almeno 1-2 secondi.... non becco mai l'attimo che voglio....per esempio in un evento mentre scatto un soggettto che mi sta guardando faccio la foto e qunado scatta lui ha già abbassato lo sguardo e la foto viene come non la volevo io. C'è un modo per ovviare a questo? Oppure sbaglio io ? Dipende dallamacchina Sony? Naturalmente rimandeo in TTL altrimenti bisognerebbe valutare la potenza del flash e poi passare in manuale.... Grazie anticipatamente

    Hi, very useful and clean presentation. I have been using V1 and expecting to get V860iii in a day or two. The newest Sony cameras like A7Riv and A7RV have in camera body direct flash control for Sony flashes. Do the Godox flash V1 and V860iii are compatible with the same feature where the in body settings can control the flash? Thank you

    I missed a moment of using the flash during a macro shot of an insect in the field. I later realized that the camera shutter was on electronic shutter. Flash would operate only in mechanical and 1st curtain. You might want to mention this in your next video. Might help viewers using a mirrorless camera.

I bought mine brand new and now ( a month later) the battery is almost dead and I decided to charge it. when I connect to the wall it shows that is charging with the picture on the screen and the green light. After 5 hours of charging I turn it on and I see upper right on the screen that it only charged 1 bar. Have you ever encounter this problem with your flash?

    • @Strobepro
      @Strobepro  5 месяцев назад +1

      Hi Daniel,
      Glad you found the video helpful! Electronics do have their occasional problems, but I can't recall hearing about the issue you just described. If you purchased the unit from us, get in touch and we'll see what we can do to replace your battery. If not, we're still happy to take a look at it-though we are solely based in western Canada, so that may or may not be convenient for you. I would say that the issue is more likely to be with the battery than the charger.

      Our firmware update tutorial is tad outdated now. In fact, the V860iii uses Godox's newer "G3" software, which was not mentioned. However, the process is generally the same, so we hope you'll still find these instructions helpful:

    • @Strobepro
      @Strobepro  7 месяцев назад +1

      Hmmm... we had a look and we can see why you would want that feature! The flash remembers its last power setting if the regular mode button is used, but it always defaults to 1/128 power when the hard switch is used. The hard switch is meant to speed things up for the user... I gotta say-it's kind of poorly implemented right now! Can't believe I didn't notice until now.
      We'll pass this feedback along to Godox and hope that they can address the problem with a firmware update.

I put on my 50mm lens and i have the flash in TTL mode, but the flash zoom doesnt read what lens i have on, it is just blank until i spin the dial to 50mm.

      Hi @michaelrose2652,
      If you are in auto zoom and you see three dashes instead of the focal length of your lens, it may be a communication issue with your specific lens. It may also be a communication issue between the camera and the flash. Some of Canon's newest bodies like the R10 may still have small compatibility issues that need to be sorted out with firmware. Are you able to tell us which camera and lens combo you are using?

      It will depend on your camera and flash zoom settings settings. The guide number is 60m (ISO 100) at the maximum zoom (200mm). Take the guide number and divide it by your f-number to get the distance for a correct exposure at full power. For example, at f/4, your correct exposure is at 15 meters.

    great explanations, but I'm a bit confused anyway, which mode do I have to use if I want to shoot in afc burst mode for catching animals with my Panasonic S1R, Highspeed sync or RPT?

    Very nice delivery, makes everything clear. Company’s tutorial is the worst (white gloves one)

    Also, my white (modeling) light is on and I can't find the on/off yet.
