Thank you for this update; it's been most informative and helpful.

[@RumbaniNdhlovu]

I definitely wanna get that V860ii. That battery feelsike a no brainer with the faster recycle times but for budget purposes, thet TT685 looks extra delicious.

[@Alex_Manifestation111]

I appreciate this video so much brother. I bought the V850II because of you and the universal hot shoe mount. Right now I'm trying to figure out which Godox Universal hot shoe Flash Trigger to use for my Samsung NX 1 since I bought the AD200 Pro.

[@stargator4945]

I would like to have more standardized comparison of the Guide Number for 35mm focal length and 100ASA. All guide numbers listed are only for tele focal length, which is not very comparable in a normal party scenario (using about 28 to 70mm, but mostly 35).

Great video explaining the lineup! I'm new to Godox and looking to get a couple flashes with a trigger. I'm shooting with a Nikon D750 and looking to do casual outdoor portraiture along with handheld for macro work. I will be getting a 685 to use as a main and was wondering if the 350 would be suitable for a fill? I like having a small flash available. Thanks again for an informative video

[@hypop]

The TT350N would definitely be a suitable fill and with both flashes featuring HSS it'll be a versatile 2 light setup.

Hi do any Godox flashes have focus assist that works with Sony a7iii? Thanks

[@deganni2688]

great video! i have a nikon system and like the godox products. in fact, i recently bought the pb960 pack. question: when one uses godox speedlights with the godox pb960 pack, there is no need for other batteries to power the speedlight? when i use my nikon speedlight with the godox pb960, i still need to install batteries for the speedlight electronics. so with the godox pg960 pack and godox speedlights, the pack will power the speedlights completely, right?

[@JoseHerrerawl]

Thanks, this vid cleared up some of my questions.

[@caleb361]

Great video... where does the TT520ii fit in the godox range? Can i pair it with one of the newer Godox flashes and triggers. In other words, would it work in slave mode with the newer godox system?

[@hypop]

Hi Caleb, the Godox TT520II is an older model and sits along side the TT600 as they're both manual flashes. It only works with Godox's legacy flash trigger system the FT-16 but you can get it to work with the new X wireless system by using an XTR-16 receiver. They're discontinued by Godox now but you may get lucky with stock at a retailer.

[@m77ast]

Excellent, Simple, Straight forward - all questions answered. I think

[@RubikFan]

Nikon shooter, could you shoot TTL with a TT600 and the X2T trigger?

[@sharonhaasbroek7464]

I have a Nikon D780 and wish to purchase a godox speedlight to use mostly as an off camera flash. Which speedlight do suggest I buy? I will purchase an AD200 pro later so any extra accessories should be compatible. Thanks!

[@rgry]

When a flash is for Canon, does it then work with all Canon from old DSLR to newest R6 mark II? And thanks for the comparison!

[@hypop]

Hey there! In general, modern Canon version Godox on-camera flashes are compatible with all Canon models at a minimum of being able to fire off the flash with the shutter. Occasionally, specific features may not work with certain cameras. For instance, on mirrorless cameras, including other brands besides Canon, the AF assist feature is known to be non-functional. There are reports of limited TTL effectiveness on the R6 Mark II, but we can't confirm since we don't have it for testing. Hope this helps!

[@hannahmillington5781]

I'm notoriously terrified of batteries... If I had the Li battery option I would need a spare one! You can't beat being able to throw 4 AA batteries in when you need them

[@piczee]

I am looking at purchasing the X2T for Olympus. Can you tell me if the hot shoe on top will work with a pre-existing flash from Olympus? And will the high-speed sync will still work for the shoe mount flash on top?

[@ArcanePath360]

The round head isn't for round catch lights, since it's such a small light source no one is pixel peeping enough to notice the shape. It's round to give a more even and natural fall off.

[@anzaeria]

According to the Godox website, the TT600 is only compatible with a few dedicated Godox flash transmitters. I don't suppose it's possible to trigger it with flash triggers from other brands? If so, could those flash triggers work with any brand of camera?

[@hypop]

You can only trigger the TT600 using the internal receiver via a Godox X-trigger such as the X1, X2, X3, XPro or XProII. If you'd like to use other triggers such as Pocketwizards or other brands you'd have to attach a receiver to the bottom of the TT600 to integrate it to that particular wireless system, which isn't as elegant as the Godox system however would still work.

I will use it for take pictures of my real estate listings. I don't take pictures for others, only my listings. Also for personal use. So confusing. Thanks for any help.

[@AnhTran-ig1zp]

The TT685II should be good enough (use AA battery), the lithium battery in the V860II helps you to increase recycle time (the flash needs time in between to light up again) but you will shoot still real estate so you shouldn’t need that. With the trigger you will have more flexible way to light up your subject. It doesn’t need to be stuck on the camera and the TT685II can work accordingly (slave mode) with your Nikon built-in flash. Hope this help

[@Paladin1649]

SUBJECT: Batteries: I use rechargeable AAAs by Ray-O-Vac. ONLY problem I'ver ever had with them was with my PocketWizard Plus IIIs - but NOTHING seems to work with the PWizards. Rechargeable triple-As have been Beautiful!

[@frankenberry9670]

You asked about the pros and cons of Godox Li Ion batteries. Personally I don't really care about the battery technology, its the form factor that I am most concerned with. If its a proprietary shape then you are locked into the manufacturer. If its a "standard" cell/battery shape then you don't have to worry that the manufacturer either doesn't make batteries any more or wants to charge an arm and a leg. I also like the idea of being able to plug in an external battery pack using a standard, non proprietary cable.

[@v06106]

What is a good, cheap option for Marco-photography beginner?

[@hypop]

Try the smaller flashes - TT350 or V350. If you feel you'll be shooting larger subjects then TT685 or V860III

[@TreyyDaMenaceFan]

Can you recommend one? I got a meiki-320 but I need much more reach, what's most powerful flash?

[@hypop]

The Meike 320 appears to be a smaller flash equivalent to the Godox TT350. We'd suggest the TT685 or even the Godox V1 if you want something larger and more powerful

[@TreyyDaMenaceFan]

@@hypop I was looking at some godox but the review says that they break easily at the hot shoe

[@samamba5]

I’m a bit confused is there two types of 685 as just 685 and 685ii or it’s all same!?

[@hypop]

The TT685 is the first version but not compatible with the 2.4GHz X triggers natively. The TT685II features a built in receiver and works natively with the X2T, X1T and XPro

[@ivanguerra1260]

An XPro-N (Nikon) would only operate as a manual trigger on a Canon camera's hot shoe as the metal pins don't match. You'll still be able to control your Godox lights wirelessly such as change the settings and mode but won't be able to use TTL or HSS. Best to get the compatible trigger for your camera brand.

[@lukaszrusinek696]

What lights will be best for canon 80d?

[@hypop]

Any of the C model flashes so something like the TT685CII for a full sized flash or V860IIIC if you prefer a faster recycle time with lithium ion battery. Lastly if you're after maximum output and prefer a round head flash which is easier to modify then the V1-C.

Hobbyists are going to own the camera brand flashes, so an important consideration is if the Goddox would work in conjunction with existing, say Canon flashes already owned. Why don't you clearly state this? Saying it's compatible with a camera is not the same as saying it's compatible with other branded equipment and its important to understand this. The flashes do look good value for money though.

[@frits1463]

I use speed lights of and on so I don't want Lithium batteries as they lose capacity over time. Besides that it's easier to find some AA batteries in case you run empty. I don't use TTL as it is not very reliable (will it meter on the subject or the background, you never know). Never us a speed light on top of the camera also. So the best flash for me is the TT600. Manual flashes only do HSS in combination with a trigger, not on camera !!!
