Flash guns and remote triggers

[snaps042]

Hello,

For a few years, I've been using a pair of Neewer flashguns and Neewer remote triggers.

Neewer flash guns are limited to a shutter speed of 1/200, but now I'm ready to step up to something more pro.

Can anyone suggest a Godox flash gun and Godox remote trigger (to fire 2 flash guns) that won't ruin the bank account?

I look forward to hearing from you.

Thanks.

Hello Will,

Thank you for asking: I mean speedlite.

I would prefer something battery-powered, but understand if it can't be.

The main subject(s) would be full body/headshots.

Budget: up to (but no more than) GB£800/US$1000 - but let's start with the cheapest and work our way up.

Thanks again.

Stuart,

What make camera do you shoot with. Godox/flashpoint “on camera” flash are with transmitter are Camera-specific and well within your budget.

I would recommend the Flashpoint R2 XPro II 2.4GHz TTL Wireless Flash Trigger for Canon Cameras for the trigger or the Godox branded XPRO II.

I would also recommend 2 of the Flashpoint XPLOR 100 Pro TTL R2 Pocket Flash Kit With The Round Head Accessory Kit (Godox AD100 Pro) if shooting in a indoor environment or at night where you can control all of the light!

Hello @Will Thompson Could this be the Godox equivalent?

I would also recommend 2 of the Flashpoint XPLOR 300 Pro TTL R2 Battery-Powered Monolight if shooting where you can not control the ambient light And must overcome it.

Thank you @Will Thompson ,

Just rewinding a bit, would the 'Godox AD200Pro AD200 Pro TTL Strobe Flash 200W 2.4G HSS 1/8000s Dual Head Flash' work with the wireless trigger?

Thanks again, this is really helpful!

No it is not

what you found is a xpro C the older version that will most likely not high speed sync correctly!

What you need is a xproII C!

only buy from a local dealer in your country that is the only way to get a warranty other than B&H or Adorama!

I would have no fear of buying used. These are reliable!

Flashguns and remote triggers are essential tools for advanced photography. A flashgun provides versatile lighting, allowing you to control intensity, direction, and distance for creative effects. Remote triggers enable off-camera flash setups, offering flexibility and eliminating harsh shadows by positioning the light source away from the camera. Together, they are invaluable for portraits, product photography, and dynamic lighting setups, enhancing image quality and creative possibilities.
