Godox Help

I recently bought two Godox V1 flash units and a Godox X Pro controller. Love the units but the manual that came with the units is of little help. The official Godox tutorial is in Chinese with English subtitles and it glosses over instructions on how to do things. Like setting the power levels.
So my question for anyone who uses Godox units is there a good source of information, a really good Youtube video? I have viewed a few but have found them incomplete. I appreciate any advice from this group. Thanks.

I had the same problem.
I found most things were pretty intuitive,
The best video I saw was in Chinese.
The visual part was so good, one could figure out what he was saying.
Still in bed, will post in a bit.

I think this is the tutorial you were talking about.
May need to watch several times to get it but i found it helpful.
The “Official V1 tutorial” video here: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Iq8gXP7N-nA
It’s probably in Mandirin, but there are subtitles, or a description in English.
Transmitter video here: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Su0Ux0tWq4o

Is there something specific you were having trouble with?

Avoid using rechargeable batteries in the transmitter.
That could lead to mis-fires.

Another really good video in English on the transmitter, but not using the V1

I recently purchased the X Pro and found the manual downloaded from their website very helpful.
