I have been using Godox flashes for my mobile setup for a few months now. I also use the very handy Godox X3 trigger with them. Godox has now announced the Pro version of this flash trigger.
The most noticeable difference between the new Godox X3Pro and the X3 is that the touchscreen is now larger. The new screen measures 2.4 inches.
The X3Pro supports TTL, manual and multi-flash, High-Speed Sync up to 1/8000s, and both first- and second-curtain synchronisation.
It is also nice that you can pair the trigger with the Sekonic L-858 flash meter. Assuming you have and use that light meter, of course.
By downloading the Godox Flash app to your smartphone, you can now also set up and trigger the flashes from your smartphone. What is unusual is that the trigger can also fire your camera directly. This does require an extra cable from the trigger to your camera.
The Godox X3Pro will cost 119.95 euros, so a few tens of euros more than the standard X3 model.

In mijn studio staan 3 eenvoudige (goedkope) studioflitsers van Falcon Eyes met daarbij een transmitter en receiver. Het lukt niet om de studioflitsers aan te sturen met de Godox X Pro II. Dat werkt dus niet.
Nu dacht ik het volgende te doen: de studioflitsers stel ik alledrie in op slave. De Godox V1c plaats ik ergens in de studio zodat die aangestuurd wordt door de Godox transmitter. Wanneer de Godox flitser flitst, zullen de studioflitsers van Falcon Eyes, die op dat moment in gebruik zijn, ook flitsen. Ik heb dat getest en dat werkt.
Maar nu de vraag: Hoe voorkom ik dat de Godox flitser invloed gaat hebben op de lichtsituatie op het onderwerp? Tenminste 1 Studioflitser moet het licht van de Godox flitser kunnen 'zien'. -

Helemaal voorkomen kun je de invloed waarschijnlijk niet, maar als je de V1c bijvoorbeeld aan het statief van 1 van je flitsers verbindt (bijvoorbeeld bij het hoofdlicht) en op z'n zachtste stand zet, dan zou de invloed minimaal moeten zijn.

Als je 'm helemaal weg wilt hebben kun je iets van een constructie maken met een zwarte doek erover. Zodat de flits alleen maar gezien wordt door de sensor, maar dan wordt het ook lastiger om je flitser in te stellen. -
