One of the main reasons I decided to pick up the new XPro trigger for my Fujifilm cameras is because of the design faults of the X1T trigger. The larger numbers are easier to read and all functions for that group can be adjusted easily on this screen. It allows you to switch from the main screen, which shows all of your groups and basic settings at a glance, to a larger screen showing all the settings for the current group. However, after using it, I found that it was extremely useful. One button I didn’t think I would need was the Zoom button. There’s no more skipping over the item you were actually hoping to select here. It makes changing settings and navigating the menus a breeze. Unlike some other triggers that require you to scroll through groups or toggle switches to choose between them, the Godox XPro makes it extremely quick and easy. The ability to quickly select any of five groups, simply by using the buttons next to the group name, and change their power or mode is an excellent feature. Their functions can change, and those changes are reflected on the screen so you always know the function they will provide. Each button is either labeled next to the button or on the screen for the four buttons directly beneath it. The increased number of buttons makes functions quick and easy to access now. Below is a comparison of the two triggers for shape and size. The one exception to this increased quality is still the cheap screw foot that Godox insists on using for all their flashes and triggers. The two switches on the side (power and focus-assist lamp) also feel like they are much more a part of the whole unit now. They fit well on into their designated holes and give a satisfying click when pressed. The new buttons don’t have any play to them. It feels closer to the build of flashes like the V860II, which is a very well crafted piece of gear. Overall, the fit and feel of the trigger is of a much higher quality than the X1T triggers. The back of the trigger also protrudes far enough that you bang your forehead on it each time you bring the camera to your eye.
The ~30-degree angle that the trigger sits at makes it easy to read while in use on a tripod, but also makes your overall camera package significantly larger - especially in the case of small mirrorless cameras. The XPro trigger is quite a bit sexier than the X1T with its angled design and large LCD screen. However, we’ll compare them throughout the review as most will be looking to purchase one or the other. The XPro trigger represents all of Godox’s most recent technology and build quality, but the X1T has the same core functionality.
Godox xpro s update#
It is important to note that the XPro trigger is not an update to the X1T trigger any more than a Nikon D500 is an update to a Nikon D750. When I reviewed the Godox X1T flash trigger last month, there was a little confusion as to why I would review the “old” trigger when there was a “new” trigger on the horizon.
