Godox E300 Reviews

Great buy

This small mono light works pretty well. I purchased it to use as a hair light/background light. At $110. I feel it's pretty good and does the job. But if you have a small space to shoot in a few of these would work for a complete portrait set up. The light is easy to adjust, has an optical slave or can be fired with a sync cord or radio receiver. It has a modeling lamp and beep ready sound signal, (which can be turned off). The quality so far seems very reasonable; the only exception being its mount is a little jiggly no matter how much you tighten it (but don't try to over tighten because that would not be wise). So if you need a small mono light this unit is good for not a lot of money.

Perfect for beginners

Ive bought four E300 heads to replace annoying speedlights with their endless batteries replacement as well as communication problems. Use them in my little basement studio. The only one problem so far: 300W are too bright for white studio. Even with softboxes on, and power setting of 1.0, they produce a lot of light. So, Id recommend buying the E250 instead. Besides that, be aware that the bowens mount on those heads has no twist-lock. I need to simply push modifier ower plastic head. I dont believe that this type of connection is reliable. But, again, it works very well in the home studio.

Can the Godox E300 work with any other trigger that is also compatible with the Godox Xpro-C TTL Wireless Flash Trigger?
Asked by: Lisa
The Godox E300 is not compatible with the Godox Xpro-C TTL Wireless Flash Trigger. The recommended trigger is the Godox XT-16 Wireless Power-Control Flash Trigger 2.4G (B&H # GOXT16).

If i wanted to use this with GODOX Ad400's, what would be my options to trigger it?
Asked by: John
The Godox E300 Flash Head has an optical slave built into the unit, which means it will fire a burst whenever it sees another flash go off, so they will sync together for your exposure. Just press the "slave" button to the left of the model button on the back of the Godox E300 Flash Head.

question

Is the flash tube field replaceable?
Asked by: George
Hi, I think it is. You must remove the wire holding the Flash Bulb, and then it can be replaced. I recommend having a cotton glove on while doing this.
