Godox QTiii Studio Strobes Complete Walkthrough

HIGH PERFORMANCE STUDIO STROBES
Godox's QT Series of strobes is about zero compromise. The third generation brings a new body design, an LED modelling lamp, dramatically quicker recycle times, and an increased power range (down to 1/256),

THE STROBEPRO DIFFERENCE
Strobepro is the largest distributor of Godox products in Canada. Give yourself peace of mind with Strobepro's helpful staff, 2-year warranty, and Calgary-based service centre.

3 OPTIONS
The QT400iiiM provides 400 W*s of power at the high end, which is more than enough for a key light in a typical studio. If you're after that extra bit of power, or faster recycle times at equivalent powers, check out the QT600iiiM or the ultra-powerful QT1200iiiM.

NEVER MISS A SHOT
Godox's third-gen QT-Series strobes can recycle their full power in just 0.9 seconds. At mid-range powers, you will easily keep up with long bursts in continuous high.

HIGH SPEED MODE
Not to be confused with HSS (we'll get to that in a moment), the QT-Series strobes come equipped with a special mode that allows the user to access t0.1 flash durations faster than 1/20,000s. Freezing motion has never been easier.

HSS READY
The QT-series lights support HSS—a unique feature for a plugin strobe. Now your whole shutter speed range is at your disposal, allowing you to bring down ambient light with ease.

BUILT-IN X-SERIES RECEIVER
It's standard fare now, but still worth mentioning. No external receiver is required. Just pick up a compatible Godox X-Series controller and you'll have everything you need to trigger and control your QT strobe right from your camera.

ULTIMATE FLEXIBILITY
With a 9-stop power range, gone are the days where you need strobes of various powers in different roles. Even the mighty QT1200iiiM is capable of a very low-power pop.

One of the most brilliant walk through ever

[danylohunko]

Great thanks for this video. This is the BEST and FULLIEST video i have seen on youtube... Ur cool man and really help me. Best wishes

[lauravadi]

Thank you so much for such a thorough video! ☺

[BlackNosesStudio]

Very clear and understandable explanations!

[blankiti]

Thank you! This video has been totally useful for me 😀

[TheSphynxSquad]

Just bought this light and the speed mode was so confusing 😅 Thanks for the walk through! ❤

[toppower]

Hi, great video 😊 could you please let me know how to change the units of Kelvin on this light? Thank you

[emanuel]

Great walkthrough! The beep sound when adjusting power is annoying, but great that it can turns off. But I want to keep the signal when flash is ready again after exposure, is that possible?

[davidcardoso]

Aqui no meu estúdio utilizo alguns flashes da linha Godox QT400IIIM. Realmente são equipamentos muito bons, mas em alguns trabalhos percebo certa oscilação na potência do disparo, mesmo em configurações de potência mínima, como 1/64.

Esse comportamento tem me preocupado, especialmente porque trabalho com fotografia de moda, onde rapidez, precisão e consistência na luz são fundamentais.

Você saberia me dizer por que isso pode estar acontecendo? Alguma limitação do equipamento ou ajuste que pode estar interferindo na estabilidade do disparo?

Agradeço desde já!

Does the xpro trigger also change if you change the scale format?

[pusico]

I have QT600IIIM and X2T-S. The problem with QT600IIIM is. Every time I set the mode into Manual w/ HSS, right after I turn the QT600IIIM off, it went back to Manual mode only (without HSS, the icon of HSS disappear from the flash LCD). I have tried to make the HSS icon appear using wireless trigger X2T-S but I have no luck. Is there any way to activate HSS in the flash unit without having to physically touch the “mode” button on the flash unit itself? My setup requires the QT600IIIM placed on high rise C stand. So I can not physically touch the button on the flash. Do you have any solution? For “professional” and “flagship” flash product, it’s quite frustrating if I have to physically touch the “mode” button to activate HSS.

Why does the protective cap have a yellow tint?

[chanmark]

May I kindly ask anyone here or STROBEPRO here, for a strode like this, if i shoot with 1/1 power, and then the next photo, I dialed it down to 1/256 power (or any lower power), the strode won't work ? until I pressed the TEST button?

Is it what you did at 14:44 ?

And What happened if I didnt press the Test button and carry on shooting at 1/256 power?

Thank you

[gduproduction]

Plz someone help me here. My Hss doesn't work. When I press the test button, it works fine but when I taking pictures the Hss doesn't work. Like I said it work only when I press test button . Do I need to upgrade my controller to mk 2 ? I have the old version .
Thank you a lot

It looks like the brother of Broncolor Siros : )

[Ushashri]

Hi, have a question - is there a way to power it with battery pack? If yes then which one do you recommend for qt1200 ? Please advise.

[JoshuaJEnriquez]

Is it true that the color quality is bad at lower powers? Example at 1/128

[MarçalFont]

Is it possible to set the power in a scale from 1 to 10 intsead of the more complicated 1/128 +0.6 for example? I have the AD1200 and you can change that through the menu.
Thanks!

[norbinw]

Hello. I would like to use this for product photography, speed is not important to me. Is there any difference in color quality between this and the AD1200 Pro? Would you recommend one over the other?

[poldivina]

Hello! I believe when you are in speed mode, there’s a temperature shift. Is the temperature consistent when you are shooting in burst mode or it still fluctuates between the burst? Thanks!
