Hello Bhavan, Thank you for creating this video. I just bought a Good V860iii, a Good xPro wireless trigger, bracket, and stand. I have no idea how to use any of this. In 2 days, I will have to use this equipment. Having seen several videos, I like yours in particular. I appreciate that you speak s lowly and make the audience follow you by showing the screen of the flash up close. (At the end you are going a bit faster and the screen has gotten a bit far... It would be good to show the screen of the device closer--as you did in the beginning.) Your video is definitely one of the better ones. Thank you

[@hibhaven]

I am glad you liked the video. And thanks for your f/b, will definitely keep that in mind next time.

[@californiapattycakes4417]

Nice video. I have the Godox trigger. My problem is that setting the light power on the trigger but it does not adjust the power on the flashes. The flash levels don't change.

[@hibhaven]

hi Avery, for this to work, you need to have the on-camera flash in master mode and the other flashes in slave mode. - and both in manual setting.

[@planetelisabeth]

Thank you! Your clear and precise instructions saved me from hours of frustration!

[@focuspixvideoaudioservices68]

Pretty good. Although I'm from the UK I found this is one of the best vids I've found for the flash. Could you do a vid explaining everything to do with flashes..as in from the ground up! Thanks

So nice , but how to connect Godox Flash V860II-C with a canon dslr camera !? Is that will auto connect after attached/mounted the flash witn canon dslr or any other setting to do from camera setting menu ? Please inform .... thanks

[@JandKWildTube]

HI Great tutorial, do you know of a way to turn off the flashing red light at the front of the flash?

[@hibhaven]

Am glad you liked it. The flashing red light is basically an indication that the flash is alive and kicking, constantly checking for radio frequency connectivity with the trigger. I don't think there is a way to turn it off.

[@ndash76]

Very nice demo n explanation. Thanks very much

Hi, I can use this flash V860II-C to fire another flash Canon 580EX-II? This flash V860II-C is compatible with Canon SL3 cameras? Thank you for this video!

[@hibhaven]

hi Andre, I don't think you can use this flash to directly fire a Canon flash, as they are of different brands and cannot communicate with each other. However, you can use a Godox receiver and attach it under the Canon flash, this way, it will communicate with the Godox trigger or Godox flash.

I got told that the hot shoes break easy on those, what would you say to that please?

[@olukokunadedeji6769]

What's the difference of shooting in ETTL mode or manual mode? Is there any advantage or disadvantages of these modes over each other

[@hibhaven]

Yes, there is a big difference between the two modes, in terms of the amount of control you get on the flash power that is output. Though there is no right or wrong, both have their own advantages depending on the situation in which you are shooting.

[@thats_mr_b_]

Are there any settings in the menu that would keep my flash from firing consistently? There’s sometimes I can even hit the test button and the flash doesn’t fire. Same when taking pictures

[@hibhaven]

Not sure what your specific issue could be. But yes depending on how you are using your flash (stand alone, master, slave), there is an option to not fire the flash even though it may be on. Or it could be a battery issue or malfunctioning of the flash itself

Hello. Issue: I shoot with a Canon 5D Mark IV, in AV mode, and bracket 3 photos. My goal is to sync a V860II with a Evolv 200 (I have both a Godox XI and Flashpoint R2 trigger), in bracket mode (not using the built in HDR) on my camera When I attach the V860II directly to my camera (or with the Godox XI mounted with flash), the bracketing in my camera does not function. The flash over rides the bracketing in the camera. Any assistance you can lend in resolving my flash, bracketing issue would be appreciated. thank you

I have tried all the hit and trials to reset the flash but it's not getting reset, basically I want the flash to get set on ETTL mode with auto zoom function so that it can read the lens zoom on the camera. Could you please help me out sir.

Make sure your diffusion panel and white bounce card are pushed all the way in on the flash.

Hi There ! Is it possible to configure Yongnuo Speed lite Flashes YN568EXII TTL as a slave with Godox Flash V860II-C Master without the Trigger ??

[@hibhaven]

hi @Rmc Shekhar, I haven't used Yongnuo speed lites in the combination you mentioned above, but. I assume you can't trigger it as they belong to separate brands. However, Godox does have a slave unit, that can be attached to any flash and it becomes compatible with Godox master flash or Godox trigger.

@@comfortboakye6144 I've sold this flash since then so I might have some trouble remembering. But I think I just had to put the "reflector plate" back into the flash head. I'm not sure what the term for it actually is but just that small rectangle that folds out of the flash at the top. I think that might fix the issue

AF assist beam isnt working on my Canon EOS R. any thoughts?

[@michaelscoots]

The manual for the 860 says that it comes on automatically only when in low light - when needed. I just bought the Flashpoint version for my Canon 1DX and it doesn't come on at all. Bummer because I was hoping to use it on camera for weddings as a bounce and or fill when needed and the transmitter for my off camera lights. Kind of a deal killer because many receptions are so low lit that it's often almost impossible to focus without an assist beam. The other option would be to use the godox transmitter with hot shoe mount for your Canon flash but you lose all TTL functions of the flash and the connection doesn't feel like it would last.

My flash is not showing FEB. Why would that be? Thanks.

[@zackdelarocaratm2388]

Bhaven need your help, my flash does not show the FEB and rear curtain synch what do i do?

[@hibhaven]

Yes, this is a bit tricky to understand. And depends on whether you are using on-camera flash, or using it as a trigger for off-camera flash. When using as on-camera flash: in ETTL - both FEB and RCS are available. in Manual only RCS will be available. If you want to use the flash as a trigger and use RCS, it is best to access it from the Camera menu by going into the flash settings. Note: FEB is applicable only to ETTL, logically it can't be used in Manual model. Hope this helps.
