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.

Elja, following up on your article above, the following: I own a Godox V1c flash and a transmitter, the Godox X Pro II. This combination works well together.
In my studio I have 3 simple (cheap) studio flashes from Falcon Eyes, along with a transmitter and receiver. I can't control the studio flashes with the Godox X Pro II. So that doesn't work.
Now I thought of doing the following: I set all three studio flashes to slave. I place the Godox V1c somewhere in the studio so that it is controlled by the Godox transmitter. When the Godox flash fires, the Falcon Eyes studio flashes, which are in use at that moment, will also fire. I tested this and it works.
But now the question: How do I prevent the Godox flash from affecting the lighting situation on the subject? At least 1 studio flash must be able to 'see' the light from the Godox flash.

You probably can’t prevent the influence completely, but if you connect the V1c to the tripod of one of your flashes, for example near the main light, and set it to its lowest power, the influence should be minimal.

If you want to get rid of it completely, you could make some kind of setup with a black cloth over it. So that the flash is only seen by the sensor, but then it also becomes more difficult to adjust your flash.
