5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic flash - even better with the built-in X receiver

2026-01-10    -Christopher K.

I got these flashes immediately after getting the X-Pro and several X1R modules and loving them. I had some Altura flashes before, but found that they were extremely non-linear (it jumped 2.2 stops between 1/128 and 1/64! And 1.5 stops between 1/64 and 1/32!) and wanted to replace them.I got these, and have done lots of testing with them.Firstly, they seem quite linear with their power (and, by linear, I mean appropriately exponential). From 1/128 to 1/1, I measured each stop and got 0.8, 1.4, 1.0, 1.0, 0.8, 1.2, and 0.7 stop differences between each of the settings. There's a little variation here and there, but overall it's quite consistent, and some of the deviations may be measurement error. Importantly, there we none of the 2.2 stop jumps that the Altura had.Secondly, I was getting 3s full-power recharges with NiMH batteries (or 6s with Energizer's "Ultimate Lithium" AAs). This isn't great, but it's not too bad given how powerful it is.Thirdly, it took a minute to figure out its mode structure and how to put it in the right RX mode to use my X-Pro to control it, but that's also because I didn't RTFM (read the manual). Once I got that working, it worked very reliably controlled from the X-Pro. One nice thing about having the RX built-in: when I put the power in manual mode on the X-Pro, I don't get the TTL double-flash on the flash (when using the X1R, it does the pre-flash EVEN WHEN the transmitter is in manual mode; this is probably just a design limitation of how the flash control protocol works through the hot-shoe).One issue I had is that it would go into a sleep mode after a while and could not be waken up remotely - you actually had to press a button on the flash to wake it up. I literally just did a google search while typing this review and found the menu option to change the sleep timeout (which was 10min; hold down the "zoom/fn" button in the middle and the first option is "SL: 10" which can be changed to 30, 60, or OFF). Knowing this solves probably the only complaint I had about this flash.Overall, it's a well-priced powerful flash which can be on-camera or controlled via their X system OR a sync cable.

I haven't really been able to use this very much but the initial tests I've run have given me great results. I combined the speedlight with a Godox softbox and did some test portraits that I can already tell are going to be much better than what I've been doing.The flashes are very sturdy, the material and build quality are solid. The feel of them is every bit as good as any speedlight costing much more. Setup and use of multiple speedlights with the Remote transmitter was simple to figure out and I had them all up and running in no time.I only gave these 4 out of 5 stars because I feel that a big part of any products performance is how long they last and work over time. I just got them so I can't judge that but so far I'm very pleased.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very powerful speedlight

The Godox TT600S and the X1T-S trigger are a great combo with my Sony A6000. The flash is so powerful, I haven't yet found a need for shooting more than 1/4 power indoors. The synchronization has been perfect, however, I did encounter some miss-fires. Could be caused by some older batteries I installed on the trigger. I've done further testing with newer batteries and I haven't encountered the problems so far. Am very happy with the purchase as it now expands on my ability to take great studio quality portraits.

Awesome start to a beginners studio. Work very well, recycle time is fine, and they are super cheap. Solidly built, wireless controls work great, and are easy to use. If you’re trying to get your flash off your camera and want to start getting more specific with your lighting, buy these. My recommendation is to spend your bucks on the flash add ons- don’t get cheap diffusers/umbrellas/etc. and get really solid stands!
