👎 Cons
- Requires additional Godox Xpro, X1, XT32, or FT-16 triggers for wireless control functions, which are not included.
- The 1.8KG weight, while compact, may still be a consideration for users requiring ultra-lightweight gear for specific setups.
- Wireless control features are limited to specific Godox trigger models, potentially restricting compatibility with other brands.
- Manual light adjustment from 5% to 100% may require more precise tuning compared to systems with finer increment controls.
