Brave man, putting that AD100 on top of a light weight fold up light stand. I do like the looks of the X3, thanks for the video.

My flash trigger is the size of a house cat, apparently it’s time for an upgrade? Thank you Markus! 🙌

Been waiting for your take on this Markus!! Yes!

A shirt which same color flash, what a master of details!! Oh, and thanks for flash news!

[@TRwalks]

As a minimalist, this whole video made me 😊

[@LukeKroeker]

Awesome! I'm glad they've finally got some smaller ones. I'm tired of almost breaking them off when people are rushing around at events!

[@misaelmarroquin6504]

I just received mine from flashpoint. I like it a lot.

[@rgreeneish]

Same here. It’s awesome.

[@frankthissen3338]

Thanks, Markus. It is a pleasure watching your videos!

[@justinhatchvisuals]

I can't wait for them to come off backorder I love this form factor!

[@waynecox5138]

I preordered one and am waiting for it. Excited to see how it works b

[@WorldMusicStageRecords]

Received mine from Godox. Great small trigger. Works as advertised and the battery seems to last quite a long time.

[@DrewHopper]

What flash are you using it with? I'm trying to find out if it's compatible with the godox ad300pro...

[@markattardo]

The mighty mini kit is such a trip to see. The trigger looks like a winner for sure! That will open some creative options. I guess I need to add a flash trigger and flash to my purchasing roadmap.

[@marianogarciafoto]

Godox is killing it with these triggers! Loved the Borat accent!!

[@DarkTrapStudio]

Thanks for sharing your toys with joys and provide us value ! I enjoy you stay true to yourself.

[@markkempton4579]

I'm glad Godox is still releasing new products for the X series. I am not a fan of touch screen, but I may pick this up as a backup/lightweight option.

[@BillyBlaze7]

I've never won anything in my life and im 56, keep trying tho....i guess i like wasting time lol I dont have a sony so wont enter this one. You are really awesome Markus, love your channel and you are so kind to do these givewaways and provide the community with such valuable information. In case anyone hasn't told you today, I appreciate you!

[@rickymcc8624]

Thanks Markus for sharing, this looks like a useful compact bit of kit. Like you I have several Godox flash guns AD200, AD100 etc, so think I will look out for and likely buy a new X3 trigger model.

[@tim10ac97]

These look like they would be perfect on smaller cameras (Sony A6000 series). Especially for traveling. Thanks for sharing!

[@ChrrZ]

wow, that one is amazing!

[@marekaudirsch5850]

It is so cute. I like it.

[@albailey6875]

Hey Markus, a quicker way to adjust the power is to slide left or right on the group you want to change. It's quicker than turning the small knob.

[@MarkusPix]

I showed that in the video. But I personally like the knob

[@marcinmrzyglocki]

I saw complaints that touchscreen might not always work outdoors and knobs/buttons are required to always have a way to work quickly even with gloves on/sweaty/muddy/name it, so it's great to see there is still such an option even with most focus still put on touchscreen operation.

[@op_jazz]

[@ared18t]

Changes I would love is being able to customize how the little button functions since I'd set all my groups to manual I would wind up using the button just to switch between Groups or power adjustments. I would love it more than the X-Pro if it did that. 7:21 I love this picture!

[@RealEstateTorontoPhotography]

LOve it . Great review as usually

[@papodiario-commaiconfelix.1047]

i realy wanna know how your videos have this american tv show aesthetic, haha love it

[@bastian.michel]

After 20 years of photography my favorite camera is the GX800(GF9). Downside is maximum flash sync speed of 1/50th. Thats why I never use it with flash.

[@MarkusPix]

You dont need HSS anyway, it cuts flash power in half. Ive done many flash shoots at 1/50 kzbin.info/www/bejne/bXm8dWyoZr-Yd9U

[@GB-AK]

Your shirt and flash are color coordinated.

[@2point..0]

Wow love to win one!!!

[@justbecause360]

Thats pretty cool!

[@FieldingSmith]

How is the battery life on it? Easy to just top it off with a usb battery, but those AA ones lasted forever! And I’m jealous of your GM5, the GM1 doesn’t have a hotshoe.

[@MarkusPix]

Flash triggers last forever on very little power

[@Imbrondiir]

I saw a tester mention 10 hours. This will last less then normal due to screen.

[@FamCamSportsMedia]

Anyone know when these will actually ship? I pre-ordered it from B&H and it's been over a month now. Showing backorder now. Waiting on mine for Nikon.

[@denizahmet2299]

Still not on sale here in the UK, and besides the size having a screen you can actually see in the sun is a bonus.

[@ramht1]

You should try a test between having it synced to ad 100 pro, swap from mechanical shutter on sony to electronic shutter -shoot a few shots without flash obvious, then swap back to mechanical. I FOUND a Bug with the X2 trigger and my ad100 pro , as it won't resync back unless u turn them both off , and then on. Curious if is the same to this also.

[@slglasius]

Ohw yeas, was hoping this one got some proper real reviews to see if it is legit. How perfect it is, that you are it. Awesome and thnx! Hope you can do a proper one

[@MarkusPix]

Glad I could help!

[@Jwitherow1964]

Yahoo I want one!

[@charlieross-BRM]

I caught the Freudian slip in the description, "addiction to" instead of "addition for" because yes the gizmos can be addictive. I'll look into the X3; all new to me, thanks.

[@brayanthespinoza6292]

I need to get me one of those

[@wullieg7269]

cool model touch screen who needs buttons

[@CharlezRichard]

Hi Markus. I love all your videos with small stuff. But I do have a question for you. Who makes that small black camara bag that you fit everything inside in your video?

[@mcrjoker]

Hi, as I am into real estate photography, I am mainly concerned about one thing: Nobody mention it, is the "square" icon at the bottom middle clickable? Does it "pause" the controller so the camera thinks there is no flash attached? Is there a way to make camera think there is no flash attached apart from turning off and on the controller (pain in the a..). I need that to be able to tell if exposure for e.g. windows is correct or not...

[@hunterjacksonmedia]

Not a flash but have you seen the colbon 60r? RGB and super small. Add add a protector and pretty fun.

I want a Markus film school step by step on how to make a film!

[@ArminHirmer]

about time that one is doing something like this and its around USD70 I guess, so even price wise tiny

[@dlloy1]

I prefer that the impeller is on the left. The design on the right is more for photographers who install large lenses.

[@1tent1world]

As I´m interested using this trigger for my micro 4 thirds camera (Olympus pen f) I just wonder what trigger you used for your panasonic as I can only find versions for canon, sony and nikon? Would very much appreciate if you can help out🌻

[@MarkusPix]

Panasonics coming out soon

[@tanner.quintero]

Markus i wuld love to ask you something, ate the Triggers from Godox Cross Compatible? Let me explain my self, if I own a Godox Flash for Nikon, and I want to use it on a Sony Camera (off-camera).. can it be done if I get a Sony Trigger? Or both devices (flash and trigger) nuat be Sony?

[@MarkusPix]

Sony has its own hot shoe wiring, different from others

[@macwestcanon]

I have it for canon used it with my v1 love it. but it has some bugs modeling light goes on by itself also sometimes locks up .

[@amitkrupal1234]

Cool

[@johnc4696]

I just picked one up today but I noticed that the one you show has a metal hot shoe but mine is plastic? Is that something they changed? It's so small and light I don't see the plastic being an issue but I would prefer a metal one.

[@MarkusPix]

Maybe they changed it, I don't know

[@mtobias2000]

Does it work with the Sekonic L858 with Godox? The older XPro II has the L-858 option in the shoot menu

[@achmadmarendes]

He loves small things

[@MarkusPix]

Yes I do 😅

[@DetroitDon25]

Hello Markus, I have a question for you regarding the Godox XProS, my trigger wasn't wasn't syncing to my Godox AD200. So I tired to do a firmware update and now my trigger isn't turning on any suggestion?

[@MarkusPix]

Not sure what you did, but make sure HSS is on or off on both, and that they are both on the same group and channel.

[@GoodyMorillas]

Which (smalles) light stand is that?

@@MarkusPix I've checked but I only see tripod

[@Peter0711DE]

Also der X3 Trigger sieht zwar schick aus und der wiederaufladbare Akku ist schon ein Fortschritt gegenüber normalen Batterien, wobei man dann auch sehen muss, ob man diesen nach einem Akkutod leicht tauschen kann oder dann den ganzen Apparat wegwerfen muss. Aber meiner Meinung nach ist das auch schon alles! Ich habe sowohl den XPro, den X2T, den XPro II als auch den R2pro II von Flashpoint ( den ich glücklicherweise gebraucht bekommen konnte, da der in Europa nicht zu bekommen ist). Ich benutze am liebsten diesen, da er einige sinnvolle Buttons besitzt und Funktionen erlaubt, die mit den original Godox Sendern nicht verfügbar sind. Es ist nur schade, dass die Firmware dafür offenbar seit etwa 2 Jahren nicht mehr weiterentwickelt wird. Ich hatte den X3 jetzt mal testweise und hab das Ding nach einem Shooting schon wieder zurück gegeben. Die Bedienung mit dem winzigen Touchscreen ist grauenhaft. Wenn man nicht dauernd genau zielt, tippt man daneben und verliert sich schnell irgendwo in einem der unübersichtlichen Untermenüs. Man muss ständig genau auf das winzige Display starren, was wahnsinnig ablenkt. Die anderen Sender kann ich mittlerweile fast blind bedienen und bin damit wesentlich schneller am Ziel. Für die AA Batterien gibt es auch jetzt Li Ionen Akkus, die ebenfalls 1,5 Volt liefern. Damit arbeiten die Sender einwandfrei. Für mich geht Godox da etwas in eine falsche Richtung. Sinnvoller wäre gewesen, die XPro Reihe mit einem schönen kontrastreichen OLED Display auszustatten, was die Ablesbarkeit verbessern würde. Das wäre sinnvoll gewesen.

[@trym2121]

Don't forget you can adjust via phone app if you find the touchscreen or the wheel too small.

[@Jwitherow1964]

It’s perfect for 4/3 cameras

[@MarkusPix]

Yes!!!

[@ciarakelleyphotography]

How does it compare size wise to the R2 single pin transceiver from Flashpoint?

Its much smaller

i have a question... i only have a sony cx 405 comcorder. it is great but it does not have a hot shoe. is there a way to add a hot shoe to a cx 405? if yes i will get the beta hot shoe.

[@MarkusPix]

Hot shoes are for picture taking cameras, not video camcorders which cannot take flash pictures
