You have the best videos for Godox products. They strike me as being so characteristically Canadian. The MS-300v is an outstanding value for a basic studio strobe.

We have a harder time seeing our Canadian-ness, but we get this comment enough to know it must be true. Strobepro.com: Painfully, irrevocably Canadian. 😂

I bought the 400 for fear of needing more power, but I think I might add one of these lights in the future. What I don't understand is what advantages the more expensive triggers bring me when I only use one or two lights at home.

The controller options are more similar than they are different when it comes to core features. The XProII has a larger display which is nice if you need to manage 4 or 5 flash groups. The X3 is the newest and most technology packed option. In your case, save the money and go for the X2T.

Is the smaller lamp cover for the MS300V (LED modeling light) available yet? Where?

@dorukyalcinsoy 6 ай бұрын

Would this also wirelessly connect to ZVE10 and so I can use as a flash without any additional gadget?

@davidgriffith4935 7 ай бұрын

When the modelling lights go (the incandescent ones), are they easy to acquire, and if so, where? Alternately, if they aren't, what sort of lightbulb would work on these, still allowing to vary the intensity, etc.? Thanks!

Cool tutorial! Is it possible to make such a tutorial with Godox SK400II-V and Godox XProII? thanks ;)

@Strobepro 10 ай бұрын

Hi Adam, At this time, we don't plan to carry the SK400ii-V. Godox makes a lot of strobes, so we've had to pair down our lineup. Unfortunately, we probably won't have a video for that product any time soon. I believe the controls are the same as on the MS300V, aside from the slightly different button layout. We do have an in depth tutorial for the XProII controller here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eH2kYqaDl7qZpsk Hope that helps!

What exactly is the wattage equivalency of the new 10w LED modeling light?

@Strobepro 25 күн бұрын

We don't have exact numbers on that, but we can recall comparing it to the 150W incandescent modelling lamp used by the original MS300. The old lamp was brighter, but only by a very small margin. The LED on the MS300V is very usable as a modelling lamp, and you likely won't ever need to replace it, so we think it's an improvement overall.

Hi. Would this ms300 pair nicely, and complete my 3 light setup. Ive just orderd a Godox AD600pro and Ad100 pro. So looking to ad the 3rd fill light for studio work.

@doms381 Ай бұрын

Thanks a lot for this review : could I drive this Godox MS300V with a controller Nikon or do I absolutely need a good controller like the XproV2 ?

@Strobepro Ай бұрын

This strobe is only natively compatible with Godox controllers. From the current lineup, you'd be looking at the X2T, XProII, or X3. The older X1T and original XPro also work. Technically, the MS300V also comes with a 3.5mm sync port, so it is possible to use a third party trigger if you have a receiver for it as well. However, the sync port can be used for triggering only, meaning you'd have no remote control over flash power.

Did you buy it from Strobepro? The flash tube may not be seated correctly. I would remove it and reinstall.

Honestly, I prefer the old version with the socket. It's easy to find LED bulbs that are up to 400W equivalent that will fit it and then you have a passable video light as well.

You could but I would skip the SK series and go to the DPIII series for the small price difference if you need 400W.

Sorry this is off subject but I have not been able to get an answer to this. My camera is an OM-1 using a GoDox 860 II, triggered with the GoDox x Pro O. In TTL mode I do not get a pre flash. When I attach the flash and trigger to my GH5 it works as advertised. Any thoughts are appreciated.

@Strobepro Жыл бұрын

Hi Kent, Godox has a list of Olympus and Panasonic cameras that are compatible with their system. Seemingly, reverse-engineering compatibility with these cameras has been less straightforward than with other brands. The list is not fully up to date, but the OM-1 is not listed as compatible, so you may only ever have limited functionality. I would suggest updating the firmware on all of your devices to see if that brings the OM-1 on board. Sorry-we don't have an OM-1 at the shop to test.

@Strobepro Жыл бұрын

Hey Sello, your X2T should be able to trigger it if everything is configured correctly. Please feel free to reach out to us by email and we'll help you troubleshoot. Optical triggering can certainly be a bit unreliable out in the sun, so we should definitely get you on radio!

@Strobepro Жыл бұрын

How are you triggering the lights? Make sure you're not adjusting the physical strobe and then using a controller on your camera which is overriding those power settings.

This ms300v has gn58, my v860ii has gn60, I want to use in 95 softbox so the ms300v would be equivalent to v860ii? I want to buy my first studio flash to replace my v860ii

@Strobepro 8 ай бұрын

Hi @dipo2000, Guide numbers are not great for comparing speedlites with strobes because bare bulb flash tubes and fresnel heads are sort of like apples and oranges. The speedlite directs all of its photons forward while the strobe sends photons in all directions. A guide number is usually expressed at the speedlite's maximum zoom setting. So while the speedlite reach a further distance at the target exposure, the strobe is lighting a much wider area. As soon as you add a softbox, you will see that the strobe has quite a bit more power. The strobe also fills larger modifiers more evenly. In our controlled tests with a 24"x36" softbox, the MS300 was about 1 full stop brighter than the V860ii: strobepro.com/blogs/news/strobepro-power-rating The MS300 is also much more capable of firing consecutive full powered flashes, while the V860ii is thermally limited after about 30 shots. Hope you find this information helpful!

How strong the modeling lamp vs the old e27 version?

@Strobepro Жыл бұрын

We'll have to get an exact meter reading, but I can give you my subjective impression for now, which is that it is about equal. In any case, it's a very usable modelling lamp.
