Great review AND SETUP tutorial of the flash with the X3. You saved me lots of time and frustration with my new flash and X3 setup. 😊

[@ishkhanghazarian]

Glad I could help! Appreciate your support!

[@albinwhisperland]

This device is so stylish looking!! I love the retro feel 😍

[@albinwhisperland]

also lol 30:56 we've all been there

[@ishkhanghazarian]

same such a unique flash!!! ✨

[@ishkhanghazarian]

[@johnnyainsworth4892]

I LOVE this design! It's definitely my next purchase to build out a versatile travel kit. Thank you so much for this in depth review! Really cool!

[@ishkhanghazarian]

Hey Johnny, appreciate your kind words! It’s such a cool flash, and I believe they have some more light modifiers, soft box, light dome coming out for the Lux Master as well, so it’ll definitely be a great tool to add to your travel kit!

[@themartintam]

Wow! I didnt expect the flash to have such a fancy touchscreen

[@ishkhanghazarian]

dude right, so fancy!!

[@LarryFasnacht]

Needs a quick release to detach it from the plate. But very cool. I would look awesome with my old TLR.

[@ishkhanghazarian]

haha yes, I think we all agree on that! I saw someone mention they added a Falcam F38 or F22 plate and clamp to their setup, I think its a great idea, but would've defiantly been better to have from the start.

[@DavidStewart-jb7mo]

I have this flash and am using it with the X PRO II. The instructions in the manual for pairing with the flash controller didn’t work. After many hours of trying and going step by step doing exactly what was in the manual, I gave up and experimented with a manual setup. I have 2 other Godox flashes, so everything has to work together. I eventually got the Lux Master paired and then manually paired my other 2 flashes, so I have a 3 flash system. I am of the vintage where I grew up with potato mashers. The advantage with them is that they had quick connection to the bracket and you could disconnect just by pressing a button, or connect just by clipping it back on. Great video, it is great to see more Canadians on KZbin.

[@ishkhanghazarian]

Thank you so much for your support David! Sorry you had trouble with getting it paired, but I’m glad it all worked out in he end. Hope you enjoy this new setup you have!

[@dpfreedman]

If I owned this Lux Master, I'd probably add a small quick release to the bottom of the flash and top of the supplied bracket. Perhaps the Falcam F38 or F22 plate and clamp would work. Having to unscrew the flash from the bracket to use it off camera seems like a needless bottleneck. Very thorough review. Thank you.

[@ishkhanghazarian]

ohh that’s such a great idea!! I’ll have to look into picking one up!! Appreciate your support!

[@DavidStewart-jb7mo]

I just ordered the quick release. That is what this flash needs, it should be built in.

[@ishkhanghazarian]

@@DavidStewart-jb7mo that’s awesome! Agreed it’s a such a great feature to add to it!

[@scarlettstoever8093]

28:20 loved the look of the off camera flash photo! I’m wondering how would you go off camera or handheld w a film camera? I suppose the x3 doesn’t work w film cameras? Thank you for your helpful video 😊

[@ishkhanghazarian]

Hi Scarlett, so the trigger can be used with some film cameras, you can use it in all manual mode, but I will make a follow-up video detailing use with film cameras specifically !

[@scarlettstoever8093]

@@ishkhanghazarian ok thank you 🙏 looking forward to it

[@Tekrel]

Finally used mine on a shoot yesterday I liked it a lot just a better on camera flash.

[@ishkhanghazarian]

oh that’s so great to hear!! Glad you’re enjoying it!

[@---us7qf]

Okay, I am 2 videos in from this channel, and already, there are 2 things I need: the H-Mount cold shoe for my Hasselblad 503cx. I also need a flash. This one has the "right" aesthetics, I think to match the Nikon Zf. What do people here think? Would this flash and trigger look beautiful, as a complement to the Nikon Zf? That said, the Nikon Zf, is a walk-around camera, coupled with small lenses. Adding a flash might make it even less of a walk-around thing. Oh, decisions, decisions!

[@ishkhanghazarian]

hahah I love to hear that 🤭 I love the Lux Master, but if you’re already considering buying the Lux Cadet for your Hasselblad it can be used with both cameras and will be compact. That being said the Lux Master has the ability to be shot in full TTl with the Nikon Trigger attached to your ZF so that maybe something to consider if you’d like to use it that way. You also have the option to work with it off camera if you choose. Definitely lots to consider!!

[@---us7qf]

@@ishkhanghazarian Yes, perhaps too much to consider. Thanks for the kind reply.

[@Photovintageguy]

I have a Flashpoint R2 SP Single Pin Transceiver, it triggers Godox flashes. It’s safe for film cameras. You can take test shots on a digital camera, leave the settings the same on the film camera and flash, and you can have it trigger on the same channel. It works pretty good. Ie both cameras can trigger the flashes, without problems, and voltage is safe for film cameras on the R2 SP.

[@ishkhanghazarian]

Hi John thank you much for the insight, I’ll definitely take a look into the R2 Transceiver!

@@ishkhanghazarian Thanks so much - after watching your video on it I just ordered one fro Germany - I am in UK but there was no stock - one of the MF cameras I use for personal use (I'm a Pro - 35yrs+) is a Hass CFV100c and thats a bit retro so this will look cool - have a great day thanks again

Not sure you understand AUTO mode, and if you do talk about it you need to mention role of the AS-01 off camera sensor accessory

[@AdamAdam-ut7dn]

The Godox Lux Master is a perplexing addition to the photography market. Its functionality seems limited compared to traditional speedlights or strobes like the AD200 or 400 series. I'm struggling to find a clear use case for it. It's unfortunate that many KZbinrs prioritize sponsorships over genuine product reviews. I recommend aspiring photographers focus on essential gear to avoid unnecessary expenses.

[@ishkhanghazarian]

@@AdamAdam-ut7dn This release is part of the Godox Retro series flash lineup. It’s not competing with their Ad200/400 series monolight. It’s a modern take on a classic flashgun to be used with but not limited to film cameras or film era-esc digital cameras. There are many people who would love to use this design to complement their Graflex 4x5, me being included in that list, to better suit the aesthetic, while maintaining ease of access or entry to traditional looking flashs’. If you’re looking for something to do the work of a moonlight only this may not be the one for you, but if you prioritize the aesthetic and complementary style to your camera this is a great option. As for a functionality standpoint this functions like any other monolight they create.

[@diretodacamera]

does it works with the xpro 1 gen?

[@ishkhanghazarian]

@@diretodacamera yes I have the Xpro 1 and works perfectly! It’ll also should work with the other triggers as well just have to set the channel and group accordingly

[@diretodacamera]

​@@ishkhanghazarian thanks mate! appreciate that, just ordered one I've already tried the xpro III but not good! haha it suck, not funcional

[@manuelabella2589]

another hippie looking product 😁

Flashes looked like this in the 60's and it's a retro product.
