• 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
  • “To add C.Fn custom settings. The transmitter’s parameters that set by Godox APP are not changed. And the transmitter is only for triggering”

  • can be hand held, preferably via the optional AD H-600 / H-600B remote flash head which is much lighter but does drop maximal power output by 1/3rd EV
  • optionally, if you own two AD600 units, you can combine the power output of each into one 1200Ws H-1200 head with a 1200W bulb to get an extra 0.7EV light compared to a straight AD600B or 1EV more compared to a H-600B
