GODOX XPRO PRO
It's interesting how the Flashpoint Pro Mk2 trigger came about, which was basically Adorama responding to customer feedback and the result is a credit to all concerned.
In the heat of the moment scolling through menus is the last thing I want and direct-access buttons are just 100x better - worth every penny. I also have the Godox X2T which is a vast improvement over the Mk1 version (which while fully featured was confusing and fiddly, and generally a PITA to use) but much prefer the Flashpoint Pro Mk2. Yes, the Flashpoint Pro Mk2 is larger than the Godox XPro, but I doubt you'd notice the difference without having the two side by side. It was really easy - just a normal on-line purchase from Adorama, the trigger arrived in about four days I think, followed by the FedEx bill a week or so later, also paid on-line and job done. I think there are cheaper ways of doing this but TBH I couldn't be bothered with the hassle just to save a tenner or something and I wanted to play with it over Xmas. At the prevailing exchange rate of $1.31, the trigger was £52.70GBP, shipping £32.10 ($42), plus VAT £10.75 and FedEx 'Advancement Fee' of £12.00, total £107.55.
GODOX XPRO FULL
The full imported cost ended up doubling Adorama's $69USD asking price. How much did it cost you with postage and VAT/import duties? I just saw a comparison image between this and the original XPro, it's bigger isn't it, I hadn't realised that until now. Still good value compared to what some other brands charge for triggers with far less functionality. It arrived promptly and I'm very happy with it, but charges for shipping, VAT and handling fees exactly doubled the cost. I'm based in the UK and just received the Flashpoint Mk2 version with all the features you're looking for. So far, aside from the hotshoe mount on the X2T, I've found that the X2T doesn't have TCM whereas the Xpro does, but it does have frequency scanning where the Xpro does not.Ĭan anyone chime in with more differences or user experiences? I'm in the UK so the Adorama exclusive model isn't an option for me. I know the differences between them in terms of functionality are a small but they're not easy to find. I don't think I'll need a hotshoe on the trigger (other than firing the flash straight on are there other benefits to this?) so was leaning towards the Xpro but then I read that the Xpro doesn't have a frequency scanning function which could be useful. I'm getting an AD200 (or AD200 Pro) and debating which trigger to get.
