Godox MS300V Strobe Complete Review and Guide

OUR SMALLEST WIRED STROBE EVER
The Godox MS300V is super compact at under 11" long. This makes it ideal for small studio spaces or if you plan on packing this into one of our Strobepro Studio Kits.

PERFECT STARTING POINT
This strobe is a perfect starting point if you're just getting into studio lighting. It offers features at a price point that is almost unbelievable. It's also a great background or fill light to lights you might already have in the Godox system.

LED MODELLING LAMP
The 10W modelling lamp can be adjusted from 5%-100% power levels. Best of all it doesn't need to be replaced like incandescent bulbs. 3 modes including Proportional, Full Power, and Selectable Power.

THE STROBEPRO DIFFERENCE
Strobepro is the largest distributor of Godox products in Canada. Give yourself peace of mind with Strobepro's professional helpful staff, 2-year warranty, and Calgary-based service centre. Don't get left without Strobepro's industry-leading support!

BUILT-IN X RECEIVER
The built-in 2.4G wireless receiver means the MS300V is fully compatible with all Godox X-Series radio controllers. All you need is a controller for full power control and triggering on this strobe.

STROBEPRO/BOWENS MOUNT
The steel mount means every Strobepro lighting modifier will fit perfectly.

POWER RANGE
The 1/32 power range is remarkable at this price point. This means that you can turn the power all the way down to 1/32 to shoot your fastest lenses wide open.

FAST RECYCLING
Recycles in less than 1.8 seconds at full power and 0.1s at 1/32.

This was SUCH a helpful video. Thank you very much for uploading it!

You have the best videos for Godox products. They strike me as being so characteristically Canadian. The MS-300v is an outstanding value for a basic studio strobe.

[RaMoNooooN]

Great video and nice explanation of the functions and buttons. Just what I was looking for!

[gprakasham]

Thank you Jesse, for the detail tutorial on this strobe, lot I learnt. You made my decision to purchase this falsh a valuable. Now I can let the manual loose. Thank you.

[silviapuget]

Very good explanation. Thank you so much for your video. It helped me a lot! 🙏🏻

[guiancarlo]

Amazing tutorial! I have both the Xpro and MS300V! :D Thank you for covering both.

[DJColinCook]

Thanks for the great video. I'm looking to supplement my 3x ad200 pros with a couple of basic lights just for studio use and these are at the top of my list. One question, I noticed you had to dump power on these several times. Why is this, and how do you know if it needs doing if you can't see the rear of the unit?

[MrJoaquin]

hello, is the modeling light strong enough to use as a video light?

[paulaortizc]

Hi! This is very helpful is this light compatible with the Good Pro C trigger?

[dorukyalcinsoy]

Would this also wirelessly connect to ZVE10 and so I can use as a flash without any additional gadget?

[allenkorenjak]

Is the smaller lamp cover for the MS300V (LED modeling light) available yet? Where?

[davidgriffith]

When the modelling lights go (the incandescent ones), are they easy to acquire, and if so, where? Alternately, if they aren't, what sort of lightbulb would work on these, still allowing to vary the intensity, etc.? Thanks!

[reginanp]

Hello
is the X2T compatible with this MS300 V?

[vinciandres]

I bought the 400 for fear of needing more power, but I think I might add one of these lights in the future. What I don't understand is what advantages the more expensive triggers bring me when I only use one or two lights at home.

[jimmiebrown]

Hey can you use this strobe for outside shoots?

[gbj]

Hi. Would this ms300 pair nicely, and complete my 3 light setup. Ive just orderd a Godox AD600pro and Ad100 pro. So looking to ad the 3rd fill light for studio work.

[photographyandvideotutoria]

What about the R2 Controllers? Will it work with those?

[adamoss]

Cool tutorial! Is it possible to make such a tutorial with Godox SK400II-V and Godox XProII? thanks ;)

[zuluetamichaelangeloz.]

Can you help me sir. I bought mine yesterday and i tested it, when i hit the blinking button not triggering the flash always blinking only.

[dipo]

This ms300v has gn58, my v860ii has gn60, I want to use in 95 softbox so the ms300v would be equivalent to v860ii? I want to buy my first studio flash to replace my v860ii
