Can't help with the tutoring, but I wrote a Godox triggering troubleshooting guide on stackexchange . My basic advice for someone learning flash from the ground up is: Step 0: master ambient-only ...

Congrats!  Glad it's working for you!

Flashpoint SPT (in the Godox system) can similarly be one unit that does both shutter Rx and flash Tx duty. But instead of using a timing delay like the RF-603 II, it uses two separate channels. As ...

This is incorrect. The SB-700 has Nikon's SU-4 "dumb" optical slave mode. Similar to an S1 mode on a Godox. Only with much better range/reliability, according to NIkon shooters. :D

Yes. Yes, but what's actually important is what triggers you're using for the shutter and what triggers you're using for the flash, and how they interact. If you're using the same type of radio ...

Sounds like the dial on your might be broken. It really should be that easy. Did you purchase this speedlight used? You may have just figured out why it was on the used market. :D You might want to ...

Just to go back to the cost consideration, you could also get a TT685-N (R2 TTL) instead of another TT685-F.  A TT685-N would work in iTTL/FP-HSS on your Nikon camera, and be an off-camera TTL/HSS ...

The inside ring with the 4-way buttons doesn't rotate. Only the outside ring is the dial that rotates. It sounds like you're accidentally pressing a button on the 4-way button whenever you rotate ...

There are advantages, but whether or not it's a quality thing depends a lot on your usage and budget. Godox flashes are less expensive and can also do TTL/HSS on Panasonic but may have some quirks. ...

It does 0.1EV adjustments. Minimum power is 1/256. Does FEB. Has SCAN. Godox posted a usage tutorial video . :D

It's underneath the red panel on the front. The cover tends to disguise that it's there. (1) Additional 30º backwards tilt (2) Slide lock on the foot [not screwlock]

No. PocketWizards (in the US) are on 433 MHz (344 MHz is their other main frequency). Everybody else uses 2.4 GHz these days, and the 580EX II do not cause any radio interference issues on that ...

Check the hotshoe and flash foot for any obstruction, dirt, or breakage. Adorama sells replacement feet for most of the Godox flashes, and replacing one on the flash is a three-minute job ...

Actually, I was kind of expecting them to do it, just not this soon. To me, the fact that they never came out with V860 II-P or TT685-P models for Pentax meant, to me, they were planning on ...

Not any type. The flash must have two things: a way for the receiver to trigger the flash (i.e., a flash foot or a sync port), and a way for you to control the settings of the flash without ...

Godox's triggers are all Tx/Rx pairs. The only transceivers in the systems are those built into their speedlights. However. Adorama makes a $25 Godox-compatible manual-only transceiver for ...

To me, going to off-camera flash is not where to start in learning lighting with flash. I generally advise the following four steps: Step 0. Master ambient-only exposure. Know the exposure ...

SYNC button.

He did a great job at being unbiased in evaluating the two lights, and showing monumental restraint in not mentioning the Jinbei rebranding, since he got that off his chest in an earlier video. :) ...

Just to double check, you're sure you're using the Canon version of the v860 II?  And that the flash foot is pushed fully forward into the hotshoe so all pins are hitting all the contacts and the ...
