I recently co-rented a studio which has an assortment of studio strobes (Bowens Gemini GM500R, Bowens GM750+). However I usually use my Godox AD600BM and 2 AD200.
Mixing the strobes
From what I see, the Bowens strobes have a 5mm sync input jack. So I would need some receiver that has a cable sync output that can be hooked up with the bowens strobes. This probably would be the Godox X1R (no matter which flavour (C, N, S), as I will only need the sync port). They are around 40 Euro a piece. I would probably need around 3. This seems a bit expensive for using only the sync signal of them.
Is there any cheaper way or better way? Using the X2 trigger, I could mount a system neutral trigger on top of it. However, in that case I would lose the ability to switch the strobes into groups and disable them remotely while I am testing the settings.
Is there any recommendation either to controlling them directly with the Godox trigger or good options with an off-brand one?
Aside from the X1R, there is the US$25 Flashpoint R2 SPT single-pin transceiver. However, because this is an Adorama exclusive, if you're outside the US, it's not really an option.
If you're willing to swap the transmitter, too, you could consider the Yongnuo RF-605 transceivers, which allow for group on/off control, but they don't do remote power control.
That, or give up group on/off control and just use the built in optical triggering on the Bowens strobes.
