Yes if you turn the HSS synch on by briefly pressing the synch button on the flash you can use the G80 with shutter speeds all the way to 1/4000 sec. Set the TT350 in TTL mode
Thanks for video Graham. When I got my GX8, the on line advice was to go for the Nissin i40, however I decided to get the i60 and then got the Air 1 commander. A second flashgun in the Nissin system was going to cost a lot and I noticed good reviews on the Godox system, so I got a TT685O with the X1T transmitter. It has three times the wireless range of the Nissin, though I do still prefer the Nissin for single flash work. I also found that I can use the Air 1 commander on top of the X1T and they will both flash. In this arrangement, the X1T can do TTL but the Air 1 has to be manual as it is single pin, however they can both be controlled at the camera.
funny you just released this vid. last week i was in b&h and bought the godox tt350O along with the wireless transmitter. i have nearly no flash experience and very much look forward to your "how-to" vids. i am hoping to use the godox pair with my panasonic g7 and my fz2500. thank you for the effort and the sharing. thumbs up!
Thank you so much for your knowledge! We had a customer at our camera store yseterday who bought a new G9 and we could not get his old Olympus Flash to work with it now matter what! Now at least I can tell him why.
HEY GRAHAM WELL YOU ANSWERED MY QUESTION REGARDING FLASH UNITS. I HAD ASKED IN ONE OF YOUR OTHER VIDEOS. SORRY FOR THE REPEAT QUESTIONS, I'M NEW TO YOUR YOU TUBE VIDEOS, BUT I DID GET ON YOUR BLOG...THANKS MIKE
Thanks for the video. Just a note that the new G9, like the G80/85, doesn't have the extra gold power contact in the hot shoe, so cannot use the little Olympus FL-LM3 flash, unfortunately.
Graham, can you tell me if the Olympus FL-600R and the LUMIX FL-360L are fully interchangeable between Olympus and Panasonic micro 4/3rds bodies? They appear to be nearly identical.
This godox flash on camera and this trigger with flash off camera won't work with Panasonic m43 in HSS and it's in manual and nobody is mentioning that. Images are not in sync with shutter which shows.
About one year ago you did a review of the MEIKE MK-320 TTL Flash. I needed a cheap unit for occasional informal family photos using my FZ300, so I bought the unit. It cost me AU$116 (US$84). The flash has met my needs, but the battery life is very poor regardless of battery type, expensive or not. Strangely, batteries seem to go flat if left in the flash unit, so I now discard batteries at the end of any shoot. As an example, if I take about 10 to 20 TTL shots bouncing off an eight foot ceiling the remaining flash power drops to about half, but if the batteries are left in the unit they are completely flat next time I go to use it. Can you or any of your followers give my any good news on the battery life of the Godox TT350o? The Meike has only two AAs whereas the Godox has four, so I guess it should be better, but I don’t want to replace the Meike without knowing about battery life.
@Graham Houghton: First, hope you're feeling better! Thanks for this helpful overview. As you know the Olympus FL-LM3 is specified for use with only the E-M5 *Mark II*. Does your Panasonic modification allow it to be used safely with other Olympus bodies as well? It would be nice to have a flash gun that small with tilt AND swivel. I already have an FL-600R and the Godox 350O seems only a bit smaller.
HI GRAHAM :-) SO As We Both know The Olympus FL-LM3 is Specified For Use with The E-M5 *Mark II And The E-M1 *Mark II That SAID Graham... Does Your FL-LM3 Modification Allow it To Be Used On MY PANASONIC GH5? THANKS In Advance Graham
Thank you for the info! I suggest a small HEPA air filter, an adjustable warming pad to keep your feet warm at night, and less meat, more fruits and veggies!
Hello Graham, thank you for your videos. I have however a question which remains with no answers. I use a FZ1000 camera and I got as a present a Metz Mecablitz 36 AF 5 (special for Panasonic Olympus) flash unit. When I put the Metz on the F1000 hotshoe and when I turn the flash unit on, I can't choose "mode TTL" but only "MANUAL MODE" . I trried some photos and the flash unit seems to adjust the light properly, the picture are okay. How can you explain that ?.
Hi Graham, I have a Lumix G8 and an older FL360 flash. I am looking to fire the flash remotly from a wirles trigger mounted on the camera. Have you a suggestion as I am finding dificulty in finding something without having to change my existing flash. Thanks.
Hi, I have Lumix g90/95 (g91 in Germany) and I would like to buy a Godox TT350o. Is it compatible with my camera? and if yes, which wireless transmitter is it compatible with this speedlight? I am so grateful if you answer me.
Hi +Graham Houghton, thanks for your video. I would love to get the Olympus FL-LM3 for my Lumix G9, but I've heard that the hotshoe mount is different on the G9. It only has 3 pins. Do you happen to know if this flash will work on the G9 with the different mount? Thanks again!~
Hi there. I have a Panasonic Lumix G7 and a friend gifted me an old Sears 300.80250 Flash. I don't know if it is compatible and I've tried searching everywhere to find out. Would you possibly know? Or will it zap my camera? Thank you
I tired my Nikon SB 910 that I use for Nikon D4 and found it be working on the G9 but its too big , I need a smaller one with same function and tilt head for the G9 and also use it to sync with SB 910. I don't want it to look amateurish, any suggestions?
Hello, Mr. Houghton. I have used Olympus flashes on the Lumix line - the FL36 and FL50 - and they work perfectly (zoom, ttl). I purchased a FL-LM3 and I'm having a hard time adapting it to the LX100 and GX85. So, if you - or a viewer - could help me: I filed the front lip (more than I needed) and removed the rear lip too so the flash now locks in place easily. When I first started, it was working ok (before I completely removed the front and rear lips). While inserting and removing the flash unit, however, the flash went off when it was not inserte (probably I shorted some pin). Is it possible I broke my unit? Also: I bought mine directly from China in 2021 and I wonder if the Chinese and the version that came with the Olympus camera are the same. Thanks!
The off-camera flash I use now is the Sunpak 422d they will only work with the FZ300 up to 1000 of a sec. What HSS flash would you recommend? I shoot on manual so TTL is not a big requirement but HSS is. Thanks to your videos are the reason I got the FZ300 on April 28. Thank you for the great information.
The FZ300 & FZ1000 use an in the lens shutter, actually, the iris closes as the shutter so sync should be possible all the way to 1/4000 without HSS. Flash units like the Godox 350O and 685O both will fire at the fastest shutter speed. The micro four thirds cameras do have a mechanical shutter which limits the flash synch to 1/250. I'll do some confirmation tests with the Fz1000 and the Godox TT350o to confirm it.
When I acquired a G85 I was surprised to see the gold contact missing in the hot shoe. When I was using the DMW-FL360L on my G6 I found that when mounted it made the G6 top heavy and was concerned about damage to the camera body. I purchased a mounting bar and a Vello cable and mounted it on the bar mounted to the bottom of the camera. This worked fine until I upgraded to a G7 and found the flash wouldn't fire. I bought the Neewer NW320 and that will fire. It appears that Panasonic has intentially done something to make the FL360L not work on the G7, GX85, and GX8. It does work again on the G85. Any idea why and how they prevented the remote cable from working on these models? I tried a Vello cable for Canon that has the fourth pin and that didn't work either
Hi Graham. Can I assume the TT350o is TTL compatible with GX7? The GX7 is not included in the compatibality list from the Godox website. Also, I am already using the Meike 320 with my Lumix LX5 (in manual only though). I tried the Meike 320 on my GX7, it reads the F stop correctly, the camera detects the flash and all; but it doesnt fire. I tried all I can to figure it out including upgrading the firmware on the GX7 but of no use. Really hoping you can assist me on this. Thanks Graham.
it works on the GX8 so I would expect it would be the same for the GX7 With the Meike I suspect the polarity of the firing circuit is not compatible with the GX7. I'll try mine on teh GX8 and get back with a response later
Hello Marcus, yes I read about that one - will need to do more research as I have Canon & Nikon flashes as well as the Panasonic/Olympus range and of course the studio Godox X series.
Did you mention the Panasonic FL360L has wireless ( not just optic) control as well ? If I use the TT 350o on the hotshoe, can its transceiver act as the master controller for slaves as well ?
No sorry if I gave this impression - its purely optical ttl with these flashes. Yes the TT350o can act as master to 3 groups of slaves if they are the same type they can be ttl or if different types like sony or canon they can be used in manual mode which I will show in the next video or you can see it in the review on my blog - details in the video description
Hello Graham. Thank you for a very informative video. I have a question regarding the Olympus FL-LM3 flash. Do you know if it will work with the Lumix GX85. For its size the flash is quite expensive and I would hate the buy itt and find it isn't compatible. Thank you in anticipation of a reply.
The olympus flash will work on the Gx85 BUT it needs modifying to make it fit the hot shoe. Details are on my photoblog if you are thinking of proceeding. 3/4 of the way down www.grahamhoughton.com/review/
Hi Graham, we currently have an FZ82 from Panasonic, we love it, but would quite like more exposure settings and a flip screen. Would the FZ330 be a worthy upgrade (its a bit older). Thanks in advance, and keep up the good work Regards, Michael
it doesn't. I bought a caster 3 pack and they work the same as the original Panasonic for a fraction. So I go around with 4 batteries. I shoot a lot of 4K video.
Cam you help me mate, I have a Panasonic GX7 and a Neewer TT560 Manual Flash but I put it on my Gx7 and I can’t get it to trigger? Any ideas on how I can get it to trigger?
You need built in flash On to trigger tt560 using optical, i got FZ 300 & trigger my tt560 set S1 or S2 mode using my built in flash, hopefully it will helps
Thanks much for your video! Can the Panasonic version Godox you reviewed, work on the new Panasonic G9? I need to find an inexpensive flash option for it since it doesn't have a native flash.
Yes it can use the X1T-O version. If your budget allows go for the Xpro-O its much easier to control the other flashes but doesn't have the pass through feature of the X1-T
@@GrahamHoughton12 Thanks. Does it also work remote? And if so: Do you also know with which trigger? Xpro? Thank you very much, I can´t find any information about this point.
Bought the FL200 at its pricey height at release, cost me $300! Then some cheap duracell batteries exploded inside and destroyed the unit :( Very angry with duracell, will never buy them again.
How about the HSS at "off camera flash" on GX85 ? Some people discussing about the issue's. They said unfortunately godox is not compatible for HSS in GX85. 😭 www.dpreview.com/forums/thread/4183131
