Godox firmware updates
Introduction
the Godox / Flashpoint radio remote flash system specs are:
2.4GHz band
up to 100m
5 groups of lights
32 channels
now TTL and HSS compatible
multi flash mode
flash exposure compensation in TTL mode
remote power output control in manual mode
remote flash zoom control
sync delay 0-10msec
firmware upgradeable
Any of the brand-specific Godox lights designed for Canon, Nikon, and Sony all (such as the V860II-N, AD360II-C, and TT685S) can now function as remote radio TTL/HSS lights regardless of the brand triggering them so long as the master signal matches up with the camera brand.
in 2017, Godox added units compatible with Micro Four Thirds system and cross-platform compatibility

Godox smartphone app to control light settings remotely
The Godox smartphone app must be paired with a Godox A1 flash trigger via Bluetooth and then can be used to:
set the light outputs of each group of lights on each radio channel, including LED lights
provide control over multi-flash stroboscopic settings
use the smartphone's camera to take a shot and trigger the lights via the A1 transceiver
When used in conjunction with a camera with an X1T transmitter, the X1T will need the August 2017 firmware which presumably allows a mode whereby the X1T transmitter's power settings are not used, but it is only used to trigger the lights when the camera fires - the power settings instead are controlled via the smartphone via an A1 transmitter
Godox A1 Smart Phone Flash and trigger
can serve as a small flash, as well as a controller to control all Godox flashes and LED lights simply by operating the phone APP

multi-system optical and radio remote systems
uses a 11.1V 2000mAh VB18 lithium ion battery and gives 1.5s recycle time and 650 full power shots
zoom 20-200mm in full frame terms
GN 60m at ISO 100 and 200mm zoom
can control 6 slave groups and 32 channels at up to 100m
as a Godox 2.4GHz slave, can only be controlled by a X1 type transmitter?
HSS triggering not available if mounted on camera
at $US149, it is a bargain if you only need remote HSS and don't need TTL!
Godox AC powered studio flash units with 2.4GHz radio receivers but not transmitters
these
can be used with the 6.2kg Godox LP800x inverter at around $AU995 which has a user replaceable 12Ah lithium ion battery with 3 AC outlets which can thus power 3 flash heads and can give 750W continuous power or 1400W peak power. Also has DC outlets 11-15.5V and 3 USB sockets for USB charging. Can give 500 full output flashes on a 600W/s flash (buy a 2nd battery to double this).
for comparison, a 100Ah lead acid battery will weigh around 38Kg and cost about $AU300, then add in a 1000W continuous power pure sine wave AC inverter with dual AC outlets but no USB and no DC outlets at around $AU500 and weigh a further 5kg (3.6kg for a 600W version), which are not easily transported on location for any distance by one person
