As a photographer always looking for better lighting tools, I really like the Godox X1R-S flash trigger. Here’s what I think about it:
First Look
When I opened the box, I was happy to see how well-made and small the X1R-S is.
Main Reason for Purchase
The main reason I bought this trigger was to use my Godox TT520 II flash with my other professional flashes. This device has solved that problem perfectly.
Main Features
Automatic Flash Control (TTL)
The X1R-S can set the flash power automatically. This is great when I’m taking pictures in changing light conditions.
High-Speed Sync (HSS)
This lets me use flash even with fast shutter speeds. It’s perfect for outdoor shots when it’s bright.
Control Flashes from Far Away
I can change flash settings without touching the flash units. This is very helpful when I’m using many flashes.
Many Channels and Groups
The trigger can use 32 channels and 5 groups. This helps me avoid problems when other photographers are around, and lets me set up complex lighting.
Works with Different Cameras
While mine is for Sony, you can get versions for other camera brands. It can also be updated to work with new cameras.
How It Works
The X1R-S works well and quickly. It can control flashes from far away, which is great for big places or outdoor shoots.
Battery Life
It uses two AA batteries and lasts a long time. It also has a power-saving mode.
Downsides
The menus can be a bit hard to use at first. The screen can be hard to see in bright sunlight.
Final Thoughts
I really like the Godox X1R-S. It’s reliable, versatile, and helps me create better lighting for my photos. It’s a great tool for both professional and hobby photographers, especially for integrating different flash units like my Godox TT520 II with my professional flashes.
