Godox Xpro TTL Wireless Flash Trigger For Sony

I'm only a few days in testing this trigger and so far the range is good, and the options you get on the menu are good. For instance, you can set different ranges for zoom depending on the type of lenses you use. A can be set for 70mm, B for 100mm and so forth. This allows you to quickly set the flash power according to the selected zone to correspond to your focal length. I've only scratched the surface with the settings.However, what I have noticed quickly after using the trigger for a few days is the battery life. This thing chews through batteries like rats in a New York alley. I use rechargeable batteries in most of my power-hungry devices, and none of them compare to the amount of juice used than this one, and it's the smallest. I used to have the Godox ... MoreI'm only a few days in testing this trigger and so far the range is good, and the options you get on the menu are good.

This thing chews through batteries like rats in a New York alley. I use rechargeable batteries in most of my power-hungry devices, and none of them compare to the amount of juice used than this one, and it's the smallest. I used to have the Godox X1T-S TTL, and the battery lasted a long time. I don't even remember when I charged it, and I had it for over a year. I can't get through a day with this trigger without changing batteries. I don't know, maybe it's user error but if you buy this trigger, make sure you have plenty of batteries.

While this trigger is full featured, Godox seems to have made a big mistake. The trigger causes the camera's auto white balance to be warmer than it should. This is a well documented issue, talked about by Nathan Cool Photo and others. A solution is to use the Canon version on Sony cameras, or tape over (or destroy) the extra pins on the flash. Doing so shows a night and day difference in white balance, with the more 'dumb' flash connection working correctly. I'd advise to any other Sony users to get the Canon version. It won't have its full functionality, but your white balance will be correct, particularly for real estate photography. Note, B&H staff has replied to a question regarding this issue and incorrectly stated that the issue has been fixed in firmware. ... MoreWhile this trigger is full featured, Godox seems to have made a big mistake.

I have used Profoto's lights and remotes in the past. I loved the idea of being able to control them from the camera. But not the price tag, and the battery life is less than desirable.Not these. These are fantastic. When I made the switch to Godox ans Sony mirrorless. this was the remote I bought. I can control all four of my lights easily. TTL works great. The battery life is great. The build is not as good as Profoto. I did break a battery door, but at $69 who cares!
