The proprietary G-mount supports a wide range of optional modifiers such as the 15, 30, and 60° reflectors, and it also compatible with the same accessories that work with the MG1200Bi and MG2400Bi bi-color fixtures
Just like the ARRI Orbiter, the MG1200 utilizes Godox’s smart optics recognition which enables communication between the light and select modifiers.

The MG1200R also offers 0 to 100% dimming in 0.1% increments along four dimming curves: linear, S-curve, exponential, and logarithmic. Users can also make adjustments with green/magenta correction. As you would expect, there is the usual array of effects to choose from such as flash, lightning, cloudy, broken bulb, TV, candle, fire, fireworks, explosion, welding, cop car, SOS, RGB cycle, and party effects.
To effectively manage temperature while maintaining the quality of light, the MG1200R incorporates an upgraded optical technology that is claimed to extend its lifespan. The light also has an IP54 rating for weather resistance, and it can withstand dust, water splashes, rain, fog, or any other extreme weather.
