Review Godox XPro vs X2T - Which trigger to choose

[@10k.Vizion]

well said thank you for explaining the difference between the two

[@SuchetB]

Thank you for this - I think I’ll go for the X2

[@ego-shooters]

you are welcome! happy I could help.

If you are using multiple lights... With the X2T you cannot have only one light with the modelling light on. As soon as you fire the trigger, ALL the modelling lights will reset to whatever the X2T is set to. You cannot control them independently. With the xPro with the modelling lights switched 'off' on the trigger, you can manually turn on the modelling light of ONE (or more) flash head on the light itself and the xPro will not override that setting and switch it off again when you fire the trigger. Reset to controlling all the modelling lights in sync, simply change the setting on the trigger to off then on again. Probably not a big deal to most, but it confused me for a while until I figured it out!!

Happy to have helped

great video. I never gave that viewpoint a consideration as I decide between them.

[@ego-shooters]

I had the X1T first and bought the xpro because it looked cooler 😀 then after the first shoot with camera on tripod I never used it again

[@IzziedeD]

i chose x2t for the same reason. 👍🏻

[@ego-shooters]

and sad enough the new x-nano has the x-pro angle of view

Thx.,👍

How's the battery life of the X2T? Are you using a pair of 3000mah 1.5V battery? I'm wondering if the battery life last for months or days? If it lasts for months than I wouldn't need to buy spare batteries for this trigger.

hey! have you worked with sony cameras and the godox flashes? do you find the flash stops going flashing for whatever reason, and also have you use the godox v860III? i find the flash is so strong even at 1/256 which i can only access by going on STEP in the the x2t configurations, but still shoots too strong of a flash? thank you!

[@ego-shooters]

Hi, I only used Sony cameras so I got experience with the Sony A6000, A7iii, A7c. The important thing with Sony cameras is to switch off electronic first curtain so that both curtains of your shutter are mechanically, otherwise you will get a lot of misfires. When this is done I usually got between 2 out of 100 flashes or less not firing. In some locations I had some issues but I think this was due to some interference. Concerning flash power at 1/256 it should be fine. Are you using softboxes or direct flash? When I did portraits with using two 80cm square softboxes about one meter away from my subject I had the two TT885 at about 1/8 with ISO 200 and f7.1. The v860III I never used, the closest to that flash would be my V1 I got.

On my x2T I can change power of flash but it’s not coming back on my godox 600 the power stays the same

[@ego-shooters]

Are the channel and group and ID settings correct?

[@joeybailey9628]

The x2T S do I need to fire off on trigger for the strobe to set in the settings

[@ego-shooters]

@@joeybailey9628 usually not, as soon as you move the wheel on the trigger the values on the strobe should move too but sometimes this hangs and it is a good idea to do a test-fire by the trigger.
