Godox v860ii Tutorial: How to Trigger the v860ii + other Basics

[@stellakoga8067]

Hello so what softbox to use this flash?

[@SeeItLoud]

Hi Stella, this is the diffuser I have used for many speedlights for ages... in fact... this darn thing has outlasted a lot of my actual flashes haha amzn.to/33MhqFM

Mate, I have just sat for 5 hours trying to figure out how to use this flash (first ever). I've watched about 8 other videos now and yours is the only one that explains in detail what everything does. I feel so much more confident in using the flash!

[@kefkapalazzo1]

That’s crazy I figured out how to use it in 5 minutes lol

[@mykelbankz]

2 years later this video just saved me. I was already confused with the whole slave mode thing. God bless you man! Thanks

[@ruthjones1991]

I have struggled for what seems like forever to figure out how to get my Godox flash to work correctly. I could probably have struggled forever if I hadn't found this tutorial. So helpful!!! Thanks for such a basic but complete explanation of setting up the flash with other flashes or trigger.

[@stankmt5016]

Bro, you have no idea how life-saving this video is! I've been tearing my head up with the stupid menu but you made it so simple to understand!

[@SeeItLoud]

Bro, you have no idea how much this feedback means to me! I’m super happy to help and appreciative of your reaching out!

[@dbmckeever]

Yes… this manual is really bad!

[@akshayjaiswal1600]

as for now i have wasted nearly 4 hrs but couldn't got understand anything but this video is what made me learn everything about the flash so easily...... thanks mate for such nice tutorial!!!!

[@SeeItLoud]

Happy to help Akshay!

[@radishcastle]

Brilliant beginner tutorial. Thank you. A lot of the others assume a foundational knowledge of flashes as a whole, whereas you clearly explained everything. Subscribed.

Thanks for the feedback Sandra! I’m happy to have been able to help.

[@TravisKelleher]

Thanks Kyle! I just bought a pair of V860II's and a trigger, this helped me get up to speed right away.

Man thank yo so very much for this video I thought my v860ii was broke

[@jody1622]

This was sooo helpful. I just got it and could not get it to work with my Sony a6600. On another site I had read that the radio button had to be used with non-Sony flashes so I used that and nothing happened...arghhh! When I watched your video I finally figured out that the camera thinks my Sony Godox 860ii is a Sony! All of a sudden it all worked. What a relief. Thank you!

[@jsr8884]

Can’t have a better video on this subject. Thankx a zillion for explaining so very lucidly.

[@MawutoTetey]

I am using a Godox Ad600BM, V8600II and a Gododx trigger. How do I set the V8600 as a slave with its own power (not to use the power of the Ad600bm)?

[@RvSun]

Very helpful tutorial of the 860ii. Thanks so much!

[@anthonynguyenau]

Hi, what setting when using Sony flash 32M to trigger Godox 860. Thanks

[@ommediallc]

12:10 only works when the v860ii is NOT in the hot shoe. Otherwise, this will not work in Master Mode and fire the other Godox flashes in the room. If you take it out of the hot shoe and use a transmitter, it will work. The Master mode is not available when the camera is in the hot shoe.

[@tmewborn1]

Thank You this has helped me. I have had issues using their Controls. Really appreciate Your time. I like the Godox Flashes. A few Years ago I bought the set of two V860II and Xt Controller to use as a small home studio in My Lana. Until now I have not used them as they were designed to use. With Your help I will now advance in using them,

[@jameswang4706]

Thanks for the tutorial. Still having problems getting my V860IIs to be controlled by my X2Ts. I've got the strobe set to "Radio-Slave" mode, group A Channel 1. On the X2t group and channel are the same set. Wondering if you've worked with this combo and might be able to do a step by step tutorial? Thanks!

[@Kayotified]

I use the same combo, just had a major issue as well , heres the solution; Make sure your in slave mode with the radio symbol in the top left corner not the orange slave mode with the thunderbold in the corner. So my question to @see It Loud is ... you didnt explain the difference between the 2 slave modes if im not mistaken... could you please advise?

[@smuuvstudios1432]

You got the best tutorial on KZbin for these flashes man. I’ve watched a lot of confusing videos smh. I liked and subscribed. 👏🏿

Ive just had one delivered today. So far so good. Getting a second Godox 685, also have a couple of Neewers, a Sigma and a Canon. Now I can do flash arrays again like I used to with my film cameras. Love the manual cut down. Cooking on gas again re flash.

[@ChosenGamingIndividual]

Definitely helped out a lot, thank you for this!! I have a Godox X1 hotshoe trigger that I've been trying to get working with my V860IIs for ages now, and never got them to connect. Now that I actually understand how the menu system work, got it up and running within a minute. Thanks again!

This is an excellent video. I just got a Godox v860ii, and this information is really helpful to me, filling in the vague areas in the manual, and more. Thanks so much for creating and posting this video.

[@drewwilliamson3604]

I was following along until you got to the zoom portion but I cannot get the zoom portion to change anymore. It's stuck on 14mm. I pushed a button on the right that changed the S1 to S2 to nothing on the screen. Don't know what this is. Tried resetting the flash with no luck. Any idea how I can get this back? Thx

Excellent tutorial. I have a question. When i put my 860ii into slave mode, two lights flash on the front of the flash. Do i need tbose lights flashing? How do i turn them off?

[@ajliem10]

Thanks for the video. Could you tell me how to set up the camera (and the speed light) to operate in the "second-curtain sync" mode? The manual says setting the "flash mode" on the camera (Sony a6400) to "Rear Sync", which I did. But it still does not work. THANKS.

[@areebacouture206]

Hi, lovely video, really helpful. But my images get darker when i use the flash any suggestions why this occurs?

[@AlohaMichaelDaly]

Great instructions. The trigger can be set to min flash power of 1/256 but I can’t get my V860ii c to go beyond standard 1/128 ??

[@meldajeanphotographyfilm3543]

Hello. Great video. How do you take off the RMT? I use it as a slave when I do weddings. I will set it like I'm suppose to then I put it on my camera and it goes back. Had some bad pics from it at my last wedding.

[@Jonathancasson]

Hey you didn't go over how to pair the trigger to the flash. I was with you until you did that. Is that available?

[@mbiehl2]

Very nice video on how to setup the Godox Flash in S1 and S2 mode. Worked great!

[@emiliecotterill3118]

Thanks for this! Really helpful :) There's one thing I still cannot work out… Can the V860ii and the camera (in my case, an A7Rii) communicate wirelessly without a trigger? Or would I need an X1T or equivalent in order to use the flash off camera?

[@Tommy_Visuals]

Exactly the question I have now, my yongnou does this, haven't figured it out yet with this one.

[@matthewcheung5136]

can you make a video on bounce flash off different ceiling shapes and colours?

[@susandoverspike576]

I can make my 860ii talk to my Godox Ad 600 pro (two of them on separate groups) and my eVOLV 200 R2 (also on a separate group). But I can’t make the 860 change the intensity of the flash. I have to go to each flash and manually change the intensity. If I go to group, set; =/- it won’t get read by the external flash to change. What am I doing wrong? I’ve reset the 860. And used your video to connect the external flashes back to the 860.

[@Laurdien]

Thanks for the helpful video on the flash. I’m having a difficult time using the X1T-s trigger with mine 🥴 Any suggestions on a good tutorial with the V860II-S ?

[@SeeItLoud]

+Leon van Zyl that’s odd... that mode is designed for being a commander on top of a camera... I don’t own the a7riii (jealous) but I’ll test this on my a7iiis and maybe a a6500... What flash mode is your camera in when it becomes unavailable?

Happy to help, Lauren! Happy shooting!

[@CuriosityFilms]

Thank you for the systematic, thorough tutorial It definitely helped me! The only part I was stuck was syncing the V860ii(Sony) to the XPro (Sony) trigger. I could have used a bit more coaching there. I ultimately powered off both units and was able to synch them. I'm not sure if the powering off helped? Or if I was just pressing one button wrong. Also, changing channels was a bit tricky for me. I had one unit set to channel 1 and one set to channel 20. I would not have gotten these two devices to work without your tutorial thought. Thank you so much!

Hello, I have a problem with mind. I just bought the godox V860iis for my sonyA7III. I set on it but when I try to use it, it written on the screen of the flash "set your camera". When I take a picture, the flash fires but the picture isn't affected. So, I checked my setting menu on my camera and "wireless flash" is ON. Can you help me please ?

[@MattC-x8x]

I had experiences where the flash was set up as an on-camera flash but the camera failed to recognize it and no flashes went off. Do you know what kind of settings need to be changed if the camera doesn't auto-detect OCF?

[@priscillamendoza2576]

Hi, I would I know if it was would be compatible with my Canon 90 D? Is there an indication for Canon? Thank you:)

[@chris_woodman_photography]

Hi, great video and easy to understand but i have a question please. Can you use the godox X2T trigger with the flash mounted on top of it and then fire a slave flash somewhere else in the room? I feel more comfortable if I can control both the on camera flash and the slave flash from the trigger. Thanks

[@cdmoses53]

Do you have to make any in camera settings changes to get the flash to communicate with the camera?

[@portraitfotograf]

Hello, thanks for the video. You are very familiar with the devices, great tips! I have a question and can not find a solution: if I am in slave mode and the flash is unleashed via the X1T trigger - the flash unit flashes red on the front at an interval of 1 second for the entire time. Can you turn off this stupid blinking somehow / somewhere? It's frustrating!!!

[@dbmckeever]

Hi Kyle… excellent video… really easy to follow! But I’m having a rough time trying to get my Xpro trigger to fire the V860ii-S. I can get the 860 to fire my AD200pro in master mode, but I can’t fire the 860 in slave mode with a trigger. Any ideas?

[@virtualcurbappeal8637]

I know this is an old thread, but I cannot get the V860II to trigger two slave flashes at the same time. They are in the same group, on the same channel, and both work fine when the V860II is triggering them one at a time, but I need them to fire at the same time. Any suggestions? One is a Godox AD200 and the other is a Nikon SB-600.

[@lingxiaoyue9927]

A great demonstration! Thank you.

[@RobertoFotoVideo]

Hi Kylie, I really like your video. My question is, does the Godox V860 II have any light, lamp, or infrared that in darkness, for example? find the Sony A7 III at the wedding at the dance. Thanks in advance. Hi. Robert

[@SeeItLoud]

Hi Robert, thanks for your feedback! That’s a good question - it does not have any modeling lamp or anything like that. It does have a laser focus system that is pretty spotty, especially with Sony. I have had intermittent success with the v860ii and my Sony A7iii. It may be a firmware issue or something... but I never needed it so I didn’t try to hard to get it to work. The V1, on the other hand, will fire the laser focus system almost every time I am shooting in poorly lit or dark areas. Either way, the beams will only fire when the camera is in TTL mode (because it has to meter the light and send that info to the flash). For whatever reason, I don’t think you can manually select to trigger the focus beams every time. I have heard that the focus beams on all Godox speedlights work much better on canon and Nikon... i am not sure why Sony just won’t work 😅 Anyhow... I hope this helps. And you have inspired me to make a video about Godox flashes, Sony cameras, and laser focus beams 👏🏻

[@kinsmanmceastland533]

How do you turn on the modeling lamp for the v860II while off camera or is it possible?

[@joelwarren1858]

Kyle; I update both the Godox and Mk4 with Godox's and Sony's current firmwate and menus still don't work properly. By corrupted I mean when I press the mode button it fails to cycle through M, TTL, etc., when I press other buttons, it fails to cycle through the options. When I set the Godox in TTL and turn on the camera, the TTL switches to slave mode with no prompting on my part. I recall the Godox worked on my Mk3, but not on the Mk4. I'm guessing the hotshoe interface is different from the 3 to 4, but I'm only guessing.

[@paulomacaricomusica]

I have the Fuji version but I still can't stop the V860 from firing when used as a Master and pressing the Test button to fire another flash like you did with the AD200 on your - great, informative and to the point, by the way - video. Is it because pressing the Test button would fire it anyway? I must admit I didn't try it with the flash mounted on any of my Fuji cameras.

[@SeeItLoud]

To my knowledge - Hitting the test button will always fire the flash. Do you want to use this as a commander only? Or you want to test the light from another flash and use it just to trigger that flash - and still use the 860 in your lighting setup?

[@sudhagarshanmugasigamani9040]

Awesome video. I have a doubt, when I use V860ii in manual mode (off camera flash) after a first flash trigger, it automatically changed to TTL mode. I have to set up in manual mode after the each and every flash.. What setting should I change? Please help.

[@SeeItLoud]

+Sudhagar Shanmugasigamani I hope I can help! So, you have it in manual mode and after every pop it automatically switches to TTL. What are you using to trigger it off camera? XPro? Another trigger?

[@sudhagarshanmugasigamani9040]

@@SeeItLoud Thank you! I appreciate it. I am using Sony A7III with X1 T trigger

[@SeeItLoud]

+Sudhagar Shanmugasigamani i see. Now, is your camera in “wireless flash mode” or TTL mode? The trigger has the ability to switch modes on the flash. If the camera is sending TTL to the flash... and the trigger is in TTL mode, it should trump the settings on the flash. Try putting the camera and trigger in manual mode. And I’ll also have to say, I am less familiar with the X1. But if it’s anything like the xpro trigger, it needs to be in manual mode and the flash needs to be in slave mode. Hope this helps!

[@lenaagnello2854]

Hi! I'm quite the beginner when it comes to flash photography. I have the godox flash you have. Do I need to buy a receiver too? Or just the transmitter trigger? Which one do you recommend?

[@SeeItLoud]

Hi there Lena, I am happy to help you here. With this godox flash, you will not need a receiver. The flash itself has a built in transceiver (receiver/transmitter). So, if you have it on your camera... it can act as a trigger for other flashes. If you want it off camera, then you will need a trigger to send info from your camera, but you will not need an additional receiver - the flash can receive info on its own. I recommend the Godox X Pro, it’s got a big screen and plenty of buttons...easy to read and control. The other option is the Godox X1 which is slightly less expensive and can do the same thing - in my opinion its just harder to use... plus it bonks me on the head when i put my face up to the camera.

[@SeeItLoud]

I did a video on the X Pro, and you can watch it here if you like - kzbin.info/www/bejne/oZutq6iqbMR_p7s

I'm nso new at this with the exception of using the speedlite on camera for events So I just want to be certain your saying I need to purchase a transmitter and one receiver?

[@SeeItLoud]

No problem! To be absolutely clear - if you want to use these off camera, you will need a transmitter/trigger only. You do not need a receiver.

[@lenaagnello2854]

Thank you kindly Kyle!! I went ahead with your recommendation and just ordered the godox xpro-s for my sony. I don't know that I would've done without your help. I was googling like crazy with no direct answers. Or otherwise I didn't understand what I was googling lol
