Godox to me is THE BEST bang for the buck out there... Their flashes are reliable, easy to use, their wireless x technology allows me to use my V860II for Panasonic, V350S for Sony, SK300II studio light to be controlled by the Panasonic X1T or the Sony X-Pro. I can even control the modeling light thru the trigger. I got the Lithium Ion batteries and they are so good! Last entire shots and then some. Great video Gerald!
Exactly what I needed to know. My wife shoots Canon and I shoot Sony and we’ve been trying to find a solution to our lighting issue as well. Thanks so much!
I can add, that I used the XPRO S with my canon 580ex and Metz 54 flash on Godox XT1C R receivers, and they fired with HSS perfectly well on a Sony alpha 6500.
Wow, you gave me an another useful tip. So you have Sony A6500 and put Xpro-S(transmiter) on hot shoe then trigger the 580ex and Metz 54 which is attached X1R-C(receiver). Even with HSS. Correct? That is awsome!
This hits the nail on the most ideal set up for me. I have a Canon Mark 3 and a Sony A7R3 and was looking for a flexible setup for High speed flashes to work. thank you for sharing! The best video I have seen out of hundreds re: HSS flashes
Yyou must have been reading my mind --- our family has been using, both a Sony a6300 and Canon SL2 and we've been comparing flash brands, specs, apples, oranges, well, it got a little confusing until we found your tutorial. Thank you for your simplistic ,yet detailed descriptions to help us understand the technical terminology and in making a better purchasing choice. Keep up the great work!
You have no idea how easy you have made shopping. Since the beginning of your channel, you happen to be talking about things relevant to my needs; that's how I found you. Your videos have always given me the absolute, unquestioning confidence that you are well versed in what you are demonstrating. You have saved me so much time, frustration and likely $$$. Many thanks!
Magnificent! Thanks for this video. So simple, yet so brilliant! I am so glad I bought a couple of the Godox AD200 units before seeing this video. They work great, and now I know they can be ultra versatile as well regardless of camera brand. Especially good when shooting with my business partner who uses a different camera brand. WINNER!!!
So I own a Canon 600 EX RT II and I am planning to buy a Godox AD200 pro, my question is how can I connect both to work simultaneously also which trigger should I buy so that they work simultaneously.
Did you ever receive an answer to this question? I am in the exact same situation and don’t know how to keep using my 600 EX-II-RT with 2 Godox AD200 Pro
Great video, though, to verify HSS worked across platforms it would probably be a good idea to photograph a white sheet and make sure there is no black bar from the shutter.
I've purchased more Godox product than I care to admit. Their bare-bulb original Wistro was a big hit back in the day and it got me started on them. Their Li-Ion speedlights were an excellent idea with a lot of problems-much inferior to where they ended up. They had massive QC issues across their product range and some really puzzling initial designs. I think I've purchased at least 5 separate triggers (including the two you pictured) and it's only been in the recent past that they've felt like the people designing communicated with the people using the prodcut. For a long time I relied on the ability to control external lights from both my Canon and Sony cameras. But I don't really pick up the Canon anymore and its only the fact that other people hacked their software that makes their hardware even relevant and encouraged me to hold on to my Canon. Back on topic, I often require more than 3 groups so I use the Godox trigger, but I want the form factor of the X1T with the layout of the newer XPro (sort of like the Cactus system if you've ever used those). I felt like I kept buying Godox stuff, complaining about its idiosyncrasies, they'd update, I'd by a new iteration, complain, update, I buy again. I'd hate them for it if their product weren't so cheap and if they hadn't ended up in such an incredible place. Incidentally, contact the FlashHavoc guy with any Godox questions. I know I've been able to communicate with Godox directly through him in the past with product feedback. He's been great. Thanks again for your quality videos.
awesome!! I'm coming from nikon and I has trying to buy new speedlights, I'll try the godox transmitter or flash and a Nikon receiver. let see how goes.
Decided to get my first external flash for ... uh ... 30 years or so, and ended up with the TT350 for Sony. Things have changed since the 1980's... ;) Thanks for adding a bit of knowledge I can use.
Perfect, thank you! I just ordered a Fujifilm camera to supplement my Sony gear. I have several Godox lights and an X-Pro S trigger. I thought I'd figured this out and ordered an X-Pro F trigger, no feeling 100% sure it would work out. Now I know! Great video.
Thanks for sharing. I been trying to figure out this technique for a few years but I just couldn't get it. Now I can use my godox speed light on camera while using a few speed lights off camera for back light. The possibilities here are unlimited and affordable.
I am literally mid transition from a canon 6D mk II to a Sony A7iii system. I already used a Godox X-1TC to fire my studio lighting (which is Godox) and its good to know my Sony, with the TT350 or X-Pro can work on the same shoot, at the same time, with the same lights. I just ordered my TT-350S about an hour before seeing this video. Thanks for the video... Godox/Flashpoint/Pixapro lighting is really the best bang for buck right now!!!
I have a Canon 5D Mark IV camera and a Canon 600 EX-II-RT Speedlite flash. Can I add 2 Godox AD200 Pro units and fire them plus the 600 EX-II-RT at the same time from my Canon camera? You talked about it in the introduction, but did not demonstrate how you can use your existing Canon flashes with the Godox system.
Hey Gerald, I was searching for these information all around internet for past 3 months. I’m planning to start flash photography and I’m planning to upgrade my camera from 70d to mirrorless full frame. Bt I’m planning to wait for a7iv. Mean time I thought I can get myself familiar with flash photography and problem is if I had to switch Sony aftr buying flashes for my canon now, can I use them later in Sony or I should just discard them. ! As you rightly said there is no information about this anywhere even now after three years of this video. This video gave me answer for all my doubts. It was so useful as all your videos.
Hey Gerald. I just tuned you in and watched you TT350 how to flash two brands. It works for firing my Nikon R2 TTL Flash from my Sony A7R3. Thank you, Man. Really helps!
Hi great video. Quick question - if you have a sony A7riii with a godox 860IIs and want also trigger a cannon speed lite is this possible? I have tried S1 and S2 mode but find it unreliable... Any help would be appreciated.
I have the Godox TT685 for Fuji, if I got the Canon version would it be able to trigger the fuji one then? Or is it just the model you tested in this video that works?
3 Questions: 1. Is there a way to have the master flash on the camera not fire? In a way functioning as a dedicated remote. And 2. Can you just buy your camera specific remote? 3. HSS? really need a setup for a gh5. But so difficult to find off camera flashes for it. oh, one more. Any idea about neewer functions like this, or if they work with godox transmitters?
Hey! So I have an A7R IV, Yungnuo YN600EX-RT 2 speedlites, Godox XPro S trigger. Does this only work with actual Canon flashes? Needing to figure out the issue or purchase new ones ASAP. Thanks in advance for your response!
Thanks l I was just about to buy a transmitter actually I had one in my shopping cart because I use Sony and Panasonic now I can use everything together and you just save me 69 bucks
Excellent Gerald! You are still the only one explaining this in the internet!!! I am a long term a Sony user and have just added Lumix GX9. If I use a Godox XPro transmitter on the Panasonic, can i still trigger TT350 for Sony? Just wanna double confirm. Many thanks!!!
I've been searching all over and can't figure out how to, if possible, to fire my Godox AD200 Pro and AD600 from my Yongnuo YN-E3-RT (identical to Canon's ST-E3-RT) trigger on my 5DM3. PLEASE HELP!
i have sony A6000 and the godox t350s and all trigger bla bla but i also have the Fuji x-t10 is there any option to adapt this speedlight to the fuji ?
Hey. Good vid! I have an older canon 430exii flash, and i just bought a Sony a7iii. Wondering if a Godox 860iiS will trigger the 430exii as a slave? or would i need a transmitter also? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
Is it possible for Julie to use and control the output of all her Canon flash guns if she swapped to Nikon by using a Godox Xpro n flash trigger on her new Nikon and a Canon X1 receiver on any or each of the Canon flashguns. When I say control I mean control the power of each flashgun remotely from the Xpro onboard the Nikon camera.
Question: recently(by mistake) i bought V860II C.I already have V860II S on my Sony A7III,and i want to wirelessly control V860 Canon with Sony version,would i be able to use TTL and HSS on V860II Canon version?Thank you very much!
LOL intro in a good way Rolling with purple backgrounds on white text is nice what do you think of the new a73 by Sony due out USA April 10, 2018? good vid It would be nice to see you and Julie do more photographic and video themes, whatever together. Her in the background was an interesting distraction but, it would be nice to see you two interact some more verbally. Thanks, Lee
Haven't preordered yet hoping they will come out with a see in front screen as a last minute design change. But, barring that I will probably buy one soon enough. What would you use for an external see-in-front-monitor for A7iii?
Well, it won't really be used for vlogging, so I probably won't really concern myself with that issue. But I imagine there is an app to utilize a phone or tablet for that purpose.
I recently moved from Canon to Sony, and all I did was buy a new X-Pro(S) trigger. And I discovered the other day that my X-Pro(C) will work perfectly on my Sony a7Riii in manual mode. How's that for compatability? ;) BTW, with the two master setup, each master *should* send its own settings to the slaves every time they are triggered which allows each shooter to shoot with different settings. At least that's how it is supposed to work when using X-Pro masters.
Wow, this is great! I recently moved from Canon to Sony too, and was a little sad since I bought a V860IIC and an XPro (C) just a couple of months ago. Does this mean that not only can I control my old flash simply with a Sony compatible trigger, but in Manual mode, I can use my old stuff with the new camera as well? :O
Since there are not many compatible flashes available in the market for Panasonic system, i was wondering if it would be possible to use the X1 trigger(O mount which supports Panasonic system) to wirelessly control the TT685(S/N/C mounts),and still be able to use the TTL and HSS functions? Im using Lumix G85 bdw and might be getting into Sony system sometime soon. Since both the systems have very different crop factors, would that be a problem using Sony mount Tt685 wirelessly controlled by a Panasonic Mount trigger?
i have a Canon 430EXII and a Sony A/RIII with a Godox TT350S. I tried to shoot with the Godox on the Sony as Master and the 430EXII as Slave. didn't work. both in group A and the same channel. (both flashes work alone, batteries fresh). Any idea ??? Thanx!
Hi there. I have a 860ii for sony. how could I use it for canon off camera. With a canon transmitter and a sony receiver put on the flash? or is this not possible. just trying to find out how to use my current flash on my cnon camera... Im opposite of you. changing fron sony to canon :)
Hi Gerald I hope you get to see this message, I have a Sony HVL-F45RM FLASH With the Sony trigger FA-WRC1M Wireless Radio Commander, and I want to get a Godox ad200 pro or ad600 pro to work with my sony flashlight, please haw I can do that or if it is possible to do it?
So if I go with Godox can I fire my old Canon flashes from my Nikon system using a Godox transmitter/flash attached to my D850 if I attach Godox receivers made for Canon to my Canon gear?
Hi Gerald, I really like all of your video, need your advice on following , i usually carry one sony camera and one canon camera , use mostly canon as main and use sony as back up, but like to carry only one flash instead of 2 flashes but hot shoes are different , Is there a way to work around to use only to carry one godox made for canon and like to also use for sony camera as well, which equipment i need to buy and how to use it, thanks in advance for your expert advice.
This is awesome. I just got a Mamiya RZ67, I was planning to use the same speedlites for both a Sony Alpha and for the Mamiya (with a sync cord linked to a Godox transmitter for the Mamiya). Do you think this is possible? The idea would be to be able to actually see how the flash lights the set with the Sony Alpha before actually shooting with the Mamiya.
Good video. Am I correct in assuming that I can just change my transceiver to Sony brand, I have an A7ii on order, and still set off and control my "Canon" Flashpoint Li-on OCF? I also have Younguo that I use from time to time as a kicker light from time to time. I LOVE my Li-on!
I have a question, what if I had a Sony flash (that wasn’t the godox flash with a Sony mount), and I bought the trigger to place in my hot shoe and the receiver to fire off my Sony flash off camera. If I was to get an ad200 could I trigger that flash as a slave to the Sony brand flash that’s being triggered by the godox trigger on my camera?
I'm currently a canon user and I like the flash quality I get from the canon flashes and I like the color temp. of the canon flashes. Any canon users out their shooting with the godox tt685, do you see any differences in quality and temp? And are you noticing misfires more frequently with the godox?
I think Godox kind of doesn't want to encourage people to tell us that the normal, small on camera flashes like the TT350 can be used as a full blown trigger with all the features of a normal trigger, because they want people to buy a trigger and another flash, where now, with people showing us it's capabilities, people would rather just buy another flash witch can be used as a flash or trigger. So they would sell less triggers now. Well, that's what I think. Because it's not like widely advertised that the flash has an useable trigger system built in. It only has 3 channels, but many people would now rather just buy 1 other flash that to buy another flash and a trigger.
Have you tried using the Godox receivers for the Canon Flashguns with the Godox trigger and the AD200? I too have lots of Canon peripherals and I recently switched to Sony. thanks. =)
Yes, in manual mode only. No TTL No HSS. I bought that stuff after watching this video. Painfully updated firmware on the Godox stuff, still won't work. Sticking with my Radiopopper jrx stuff. It seems wasteful to replace perfectly good flashes.
Hey Gerald, I was wondering if you could use a Sony Godox Trigger to trigger Canon Flashes like the V860ii wirelessly through radio transmitter? And vise versa, if it's possible, would it be able to do TTL or High speed sync as well? Thanks! Love the videos you create and keep it up!
Yes, you should be able to. Godox/flashpoint have receivers to attach to the shoes of Canon flashes. The Godox transmitters (including Godox flashes with master capability) should be able to communicate HSS and TTL commands to the Canon flash.
Would both S and C versions work? I'm just starting and looking to buy X1T so was wondering which version should I buy to have all the features (got Canon 5D classic and TT685c) and still be able to transition in the future, thanks!
Any GODOX trigger will control any other GODOX light if they're part of the wireless-X system. But you want to make sure the trigger matches the brand of the camera you're putting it in.
Hi Gerald! Many thanks for this video! Like you, I am invested in Canon and have also bought into Sony (A7RII and A6000). I use the both camera systems for different needs. I'm going into real estate soon and really thinking about the HOW to invest in Godox to suit both my Canon and Sonys. That said , I was wondering WHY you were using TT350's and if using an V860II or V1 speedlight would function the same exact way you used the TT350's. I'm not sure I understand if the Godox X System of a V1 is the same as a Radio Signal - - are they the same? I hope you don't mind helping me out with your thoughts or experience on this. Thanks a bunch in advance! ;-)
Finally a video to understand. NOW, if i were to use this set up BUT have a canon and a sony like you show here. But have another set of speedlites, not the AD200 for OCF. Would they need to be Sony or Canon? Or it will not matter? just the ones that you have on camera. Also. are The TT600 and TT685’s compatible with the 860 speedlite?
I'll do my best to answer everything, but some things I haven't tested, so no guarantees. When it comes to using non-Godox flashes with a Godox flash on camera or as master, you need to use receivers, but I don't believe that the special functions will communicate cross-brand. So, for example, a Godox thinklite on camera can control a Sony or Canon flash off camera provided you put an X1R receiver on it for the correct brand, but the Canon camera likely wouldn't be able to send TTL or HSS to the Sony flash. It might work, I haven't tested, but I kind of doubt it. As far as the TT600s, they should work. When it comes to Godox look for the words "X radio system", generally if a product has that (which the TT600 does) it means it should work with any other devices that also have that. Hope that helps! 😃
Great video. Solves my riddle half way. Another quick question which could also be stupid coz I am new to flash photography. Is there any ways i could take both flashes off camera? I am planning to get an AD 200 along with a V860iiC for my Canon body. But since I am planning to Get a Sony body soon, is it possible to fire the same flash (Off camera) using my sony? I wouldnt mind buying a trigger or any adapters which is reliable.
The Sony can trigger the V860, but you'll need to get a trigger for the Sony (or another flash with trigger built in). You could use a TT350 as they have triggers built in and are cheap and small, or you could get the X1T-S trigger. Here's a link for each: geni.us/y5HK / geni.us/6rDSi3S
I have a canon 5D mk3 and a Godox v86011 and a transmitter X1c they work well together I also have a canon powershot G15 the speedlite and transmitter wont work I have to go into the custom function menu and disable ttl and use the flash on manual only. when using the G15
Great show, great show ! Have a bunch of Godox now....but still have 4 580ex2 flashes laying around....any way to use them with the Godox? Should I just sell them and buy more Godox?
Personally I would probably sell them. That's what we did. But if you would prefer to use them you can add a receiver to the bottom of them, I'll grab you a link. Standby... X1R-C: geni.us/jakW
I have a godox V1-N and i use it as an off camera flash with my Nikon camera with a XT1-N godox trigger....if i understand it right ,,,if i move to sony camera..i can still use my V1-N off camera if i use a sony XT1-s trigger on my sony camera...so need to just change my trigger .
I tried many way to change setting of my godox x1t transmitter with sony a7r2 but not working my strobe flash, test button only firing, I connected my neewer c300 with godox x1s receiver, help me how its work
I did the switch from Canon to Sony and have a Canon speedlite so I was wondering if the following would work. Master: Xpro-s on the Sony A7R ii Slaves: AD600 pro Godox V850ii-s Godox V850ii-c X1-c on Canon 580EX All the Godox's would take TTL and manual/group settings from Xpro-s, but would the X1 have TTL and manual control on the Canon speedlite or would it just trigger? Keep them great videos coming! :)
Thanks for the kind words! 😃 Unfortunately, I can't test that combination for you, but I have a theory: Generally cross-system doesn't send advanced details like TTL or HSS, but manual usually works. So, I think you might be able to set the manual power remotely and trigger it on the Canon, but I doubt that you'll be able to send Sony's HSS or TTL info. Hope that helps.
I did not know how versatile Godox products are ! I would love a pair of AD200's ! Q. can you turn off the main flash when it is one the camera and just use the 350 as a transmitter only ! ?
@@geraldundone I must say Gerald I have watched a number of your videos which ate very informative and helpful. I was going to buy Yongnou wireless flash system. Now you have shown me the light on the Godox system I am impressed and sold ! Many, many thanks to you, oh and Julie
you explained everything well.... i have a question .... I have a Godox X1-T-N TTL Wireless Flash Trigger Transmitter for Nikon...... and there is a GODOX TT350 for sony is avlb on Amazon India for half price..... i want to know that will it work with my trigger.... I mean not just firing the flash .... can i control it with my trigger.. all the adjustments... power levels ... zoom..etc
Hi Gerald! Great test, great video! It would be interesting to know, if your old Canon speedlites work when using a Godox Transmitter (X Pro S) on your Sony camera and a Godox X1R-C Receiver attached to the speedlites, so you can still use the older equipment, too. Greetings from Germany!
Thomas Günther - I did a brief test of that in the camera store, and from what I remember the transmitters and receivers dont work as well cross platform. Sony and Canon don't communicate their HSS and ETTL very well that way. You can still trigger, but just basic settings.
I'm wondering if buying an XProC (Canon) transmitter for my Sony A7R2 (with Canon-to-Sony hotshoe adapter) will allow me to shoot in HSS to my Canon 600 EX-RT, based on things you've said here in this GREAT video.
ok, thanks for the response. I bought a Sony XPro, and if I need to use the AD200 on my Canon I'll just single pin it or use my PWs. Can't have HSS everywhere I say!
Thank you, so much for you video. It's interesting used the same flash brand in different cameras. Do you think I could use my canon 580ii flash (With Godox X1C) in a sony a6500, using Godox XPro flash trigger? Thank you for you help.
Yeah, as long as the device that's on the camera is made for the camera, you can trigger the other model flashes. So like you said, Sony trigger on the Sony can trigger any other Godox X devices.
Thanks for this informative video. As a result, I tried my Flashpoint (Godox) tt360 for Canon, triggered by my XPPro for Sony (Flashpoint R2) trigger on my Sony A6500 camera. It appears to work well in both manual and with HSS... Until I watched your video, I thought that I was going o need another Flashpoint 360 in a Sony configuration...
Anyone using X1T-o on a GH5 to run either an old Nikon SB28 or also old Metz 48 (Nikon) via the X1R-n with TTL? The reading I've seen seems to be saying the X1R-n needs a X1T-n mounted on a Nikon body to function at all. Would really like someone to tell me that's wrong.
Godox to me is THE BEST bang for the buck out there... Their flashes are reliable, easy to use, their wireless x technology allows me to use my V860II for Panasonic, V350S for Sony, SK300II studio light to be controlled by the Panasonic X1T or the Sony X-Pro. I can even control the modeling light thru the trigger. I got the Lithium Ion batteries and they are so good! Last entire shots and then some. Great video Gerald!
Exactly what I needed to know. My wife shoots Canon and I shoot Sony and we’ve been trying to find a solution to our lighting issue as well. Thanks so much!
I can add, that I used the XPRO S with my canon 580ex and Metz 54 flash on Godox XT1C R receivers, and they fired with HSS perfectly well on a Sony alpha 6500.
Wow, you gave me an another useful tip. So you have Sony A6500 and put Xpro-S(transmiter) on hot shoe then trigger the 580ex and Metz 54 which is attached X1R-C(receiver). Even with HSS. Correct? That is awsome!
This hits the nail on the most ideal set up for me. I have a Canon Mark 3 and a Sony A7R3 and was looking for a flexible setup for High speed flashes to work. thank you for sharing! The best video I have seen out of hundreds re: HSS flashes
Yyou must have been reading my mind --- our family has been using, both a Sony a6300 and Canon SL2 and we've been comparing flash brands, specs, apples, oranges, well, it got a little confusing until we found your tutorial. Thank you for your simplistic ,yet detailed descriptions to help us understand the technical terminology and in making a better purchasing choice. Keep up the great work!
I'm glad I was able to help. Thanks for taking the time to comment. I appreciate it. Cheers!

Oh man, thanks for informing us all about this awesome system. We may not ever get the perfect camera, but we have the perfect flash!
I bought a trigger for fuji when i already have tt350F. I wish I have watched this video before i do. Great tutorial man. Thanks
the amount of simple-to-understand detail is amazing.
Thanks, Wayne! Cheers. :)
Hi Julie! GU, your videos have good audio and lighting . Have you already done a video describing you studio setup. If not, something to consider.
I haven't done one in a quite a while. Thanks for the compliments and idea. I might just have to do that. 😃
Awesome! Exactly what I was looking for!!! Thank you
Hey! Great. Glad to hear it. Appreciate the comment.
So I own a Canon 600 EX RT II and I am planning to buy a Godox AD200 pro, my question is how can I connect both to work simultaneously also which trigger should I buy so that they work simultaneously.
Did you ever receive an answer to this question? I am in the exact same situation and don’t know how to keep using my 600 EX-II-RT with 2 Godox AD200 Pro
Great video, though, to verify HSS worked across platforms it would probably be a good idea to photograph a white sheet and make sure there is no black bar from the shutter.
I love it when someone can tell me in two minutes what others take an hour to explain. Thanks
I've purchased more Godox product than I care to admit. Their bare-bulb original Wistro was a big hit back in the day and it got me started on them. Their Li-Ion speedlights were an excellent idea with a lot of problems-much inferior to where they ended up. They had massive QC issues across their product range and some really puzzling initial designs. I think I've purchased at least 5 separate triggers (including the two you pictured) and it's only been in the recent past that they've felt like the people designing communicated with the people using the prodcut. For a long time I relied on the ability to control external lights from both my Canon and Sony cameras. But I don't really pick up the Canon anymore and its only the fact that other people hacked their software that makes their hardware even relevant and encouraged me to hold on to my Canon. Back on topic, I often require more than 3 groups so I use the Godox trigger, but I want the form factor of the X1T with the layout of the newer XPro (sort of like the Cactus system if you've ever used those). I felt like I kept buying Godox stuff, complaining about its idiosyncrasies, they'd update, I'd by a new iteration, complain, update, I buy again. I'd hate them for it if their product weren't so cheap and if they hadn't ended up in such an incredible place. Incidentally, contact the FlashHavoc guy with any Godox questions. I know I've been able to communicate with Godox directly through him in the past with product feedback. He's been great. Thanks again for your quality videos.
Thanks for sharing all this detail. It sure has been an interesting journey with Godox, but as you said, you just can't beat their value.
Awesome walkthrough! Exactly what I was looking for. You have quickly become my #1 camera channel on UA-cam 🔥
Keep up the good work Gerald 🙌
Very, very helpful from an offline editor, this video was a great help - additionally great assistant!
You just openeda whole new world of oportunities for me. Thanks a bundle. This was really informative.
Happy to help! Thanks for the comment.
awesome!! I'm coming from nikon and I has trying to buy new speedlights, I'll try the godox transmitter or flash and a Nikon receiver. let see how goes.
Decided to get my first external flash for ... uh ... 30 years or so, and ended up with the TT350 for Sony. Things have changed since the 1980's... ;) Thanks for adding a bit of knowledge I can use.
My pleasure. Hope it was helpful. Happy shooting!
Perfect, thank you! I just ordered a Fujifilm camera to supplement my Sony gear. I have several Godox lights and an X-Pro S trigger. I thought I'd figured this out and ordered an X-Pro F trigger, no feeling 100% sure it would work out. Now I know! Great video.
Thanks for sharing. I been trying to figure out this technique for a few years but I just couldn't get it. Now I can use my godox speed light on camera while using a few speed lights off camera for back light. The possibilities here are unlimited and affordable.
I am literally mid transition from a canon 6D mk II to a Sony A7iii system. I already used a Godox X-1TC to fire my studio lighting (which is Godox) and its good to know my Sony, with the TT350 or X-Pro can work on the same shoot, at the same time, with the same lights. I just ordered my TT-350S about an hour before seeing this video. Thanks for the video... Godox/Flashpoint/Pixapro lighting is really the best bang for buck right now!!!
Thanks for sharing your experience. Cheers!
Thank you so much. Will the TT-350 C trigger an original canon ex-rt flash without a trigger?
Just the information I was looking for. Great video. Subscribed
Thanks! Always happy to have a new subscriber!
I have a Canon 5D Mark IV camera and a Canon 600 EX-II-RT Speedlite flash. Can I add 2 Godox AD200 Pro units and fire them plus the 600 EX-II-RT at the same time from my Canon camera? You talked about it in the introduction, but did not demonstrate how you can use your existing Canon flashes with the Godox system.
Hey Gerald, I was searching for these information all around internet for past 3 months. I’m planning to start flash photography and I’m planning to upgrade my camera from 70d to mirrorless full frame. Bt I’m planning to wait for a7iv. Mean time I thought I can get myself familiar with flash photography and problem is if I had to switch Sony aftr buying flashes for my canon now, can I use them later in Sony or I should just discard them. !
As you rightly said there is no information about this anywhere even now after three years of this video.
This video gave me answer for all my doubts.
It was so useful as all your videos.
Hey Gerald. I just tuned you in and watched you TT350 how to flash two brands. It works for firing my Nikon R2 TTL Flash from my Sony A7R3. Thank you, Man. Really helps!
How did you do that?
A little help before i decide to sell my flashes, if i have a godox sony xpro trigger, will i be able to use hss with a godox flash made for canon ?
Do you know if the godox transmitter (x1t for Sony for example) can control a godox flash made for nikon or canon?
Only if you put a GODOX receiver under them. You can get a receiver that lets you control any 3rd party flash.
Hi great video. Quick question - if you have a sony A7riii with a godox 860IIs and want also trigger a cannon speed lite is this possible? I have tried S1 and S2 mode but find it unreliable... Any help would be appreciated.
does a sony flash work on a canon camera? like will it fire connected to the hot shoe?
I have the Godox TT685 for Fuji, if I got the Canon version would it be able to trigger the fuji one then? Or is it just the model you tested in this video that works?
3 Questions: 1. Is there a way to have the master flash on the camera not fire? In a way functioning as a dedicated remote. And 2. Can you just buy your camera specific remote? 3. HSS?
really need a setup for a gh5. But so difficult to find off camera flashes for it.
oh, one more. Any idea about neewer functions like this, or if they work with godox transmitters?
Hi, do you know whether TT350F as master can enable V860iiiO to fire as slave
Hey! So I have an A7R IV, Yungnuo YN600EX-RT 2 speedlites, Godox XPro S trigger. Does this only work with actual Canon flashes? Needing to figure out the issue or purchase new ones ASAP. Thanks in advance for your response!
Thanks
l I was just about to buy a transmitter actually I had one in my shopping cart because I use Sony and Panasonic now I can use everything together and you just save me 69 bucks
Excellent Gerald! You are still the only one explaining this in the internet!!! I am a long term a Sony user and have just added Lumix GX9. If I use a Godox XPro transmitter on the Panasonic, can i still trigger TT350 for Sony? Just wanna double confirm. Many thanks!!!
What I'd like to know is can I use my Godox TT350 on my Sony to trigger a Canon 580EX II with a Godox (Canon) trigger attached ?
I've been searching all over and can't figure out how to, if possible, to fire my Godox AD200 Pro and AD600 from my Yongnuo YN-E3-RT (identical to Canon's ST-E3-RT) trigger on my 5DM3.
PLEASE HELP!
Can I replace the oncamera flash with an XPro (compatible with the camera brand)?
Hi I have v860ii for canon and I have sony a7ii
The trigger x1t for sony it's compatible with my v860ii for Canon?
Yes Godox really did it right when all the flash are synced, together.
i have sony A6000 and the godox t350s and all trigger bla bla but i also have the Fuji x-t10 is there any option to adapt this speedlight to the fuji ?
Hey. Good vid!
I have an older canon 430exii flash, and i just bought a Sony a7iii.
Wondering if a Godox 860iiS will trigger the 430exii as a slave? or would i need a transmitter also?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
Is it possible for Julie to use and control the output of all her Canon flash guns if she swapped to Nikon by using a Godox Xpro n flash trigger on her new Nikon and a Canon X1 receiver on any or each of the Canon flashguns. When I say control I mean control the power of each flashgun remotely from the Xpro onboard the Nikon camera.
Can you fire a godox speedlicht for canon with a Sony xpro?
Question: recently(by mistake) i bought V860II C.I already have V860II S on my Sony A7III,and i want to wirelessly control V860 Canon with Sony version,would i be able to use TTL and HSS on V860II Canon version?Thank you very much!
Was going retire as a flasher in 2018 but think I'll stick it out another year...
What does that have to do with photography? ;) What you do in your personal life...
Heh. Thanks for the comment. :)
LOL intro in a good way
Rolling with purple backgrounds on white text is nice
what do you think of the new a73 by Sony due out USA April 10, 2018?
good vid
It would be nice to see you and Julie do more photographic and video themes, whatever together. Her in the background was an interesting distraction but, it would be nice to see you two interact some more verbally.
Thanks,
Lee
I think the a7 III is an outstanding value and we will definitely be picking one up. We have one on preorder. Pretty excited for it.
Haven't preordered yet hoping they will come out with a see in front screen as a last minute design change. But, barring that I will probably buy one soon enough. What would you use for an external see-in-front-monitor for A7iii?
Well, it won't really be used for vlogging, so I probably won't really concern myself with that issue. But I imagine there is an app to utilize a phone or tablet for that purpose.
Gerald Undone okay thanks
that was Great!
I recently moved from Canon to Sony, and all I did was buy a new X-Pro(S) trigger. And I discovered the other day that my X-Pro(C) will work perfectly on my Sony a7Riii in manual mode. How's that for compatability? ;)
BTW, with the two master setup, each master *should* send its own settings to the slaves every time they are triggered which allows each shooter to shoot with different settings. At least that's how it is supposed to work when using X-Pro masters.
THIS is the answer I was looking for. I dont care about TTL, just compability. In two days I will try my XPro (F) in a canon camera. Thanks!
Wow, this is great! I recently moved from Canon to Sony too, and was a little sad since I bought a V860IIC and an XPro (C) just a couple of months ago. Does this mean that not only can I control my old flash simply with a Sony compatible trigger, but in Manual mode, I can use my old stuff with the new camera as well? :O
Since there are not many compatible flashes available in the market for Panasonic system, i was wondering if it would be possible to use the X1 trigger(O mount which supports Panasonic system) to wirelessly control the TT685(S/N/C mounts),and still be able to use the TTL and HSS functions? Im using Lumix G85 bdw and might be getting into Sony system sometime soon. Since both the systems have very different crop factors, would that be a problem using Sony mount Tt685 wirelessly controlled by a Panasonic Mount trigger?
i have a Canon 430EXII and a Sony A/RIII with a Godox TT350S. I tried to shoot with the Godox on the Sony as Master and the 430EXII as Slave. didn't work. both in group A and the same channel. (both flashes work alone, batteries fresh). Any idea ??? Thanx!
Hi there. I have a 860ii for sony. how could I use it for canon off camera. With a canon transmitter and a sony receiver put on the flash? or is this not possible. just trying to find out how to use my current flash on my cnon camera... Im opposite of you. changing fron sony to canon :)
Hi Gerald I hope you get to see this message, I have a Sony HVL-F45RM FLASH With the Sony trigger FA-WRC1M Wireless Radio Commander, and I want to get a Godox ad200 pro or ad600 pro to work with my sony flashlight, please haw I can do that or if it is possible to do it?
Will the Canon Speedlite Transmitter ST-E2 with with the AD200? I haven't figured this out yet. Thanks in advance. Great channel!!
So if I go with Godox can I fire my old Canon flashes from my Nikon system using a Godox transmitter/flash attached to my D850 if I attach Godox receivers made for Canon to my Canon gear?
Hi Gerald, I really like all of your video, need your advice on following , i usually carry one sony camera and one canon camera , use mostly canon as main and use sony as back up, but like to carry only one flash instead of 2 flashes but hot shoes are different , Is there a way to work around to use only to carry one godox made for canon and like to also use for sony camera as well, which equipment i need to buy and how to use it, thanks in advance for your expert advice.
This is awesome. I just got a Mamiya RZ67, I was planning to use the same speedlites for both a Sony Alpha and for the Mamiya (with a sync cord linked to a Godox transmitter for the Mamiya). Do you think this is possible? The idea would be to be able to actually see how the flash lights the set with the Sony Alpha before actually shooting with the Mamiya.
Good video. Am I correct in assuming that I can just change my transceiver to Sony brand, I have an A7ii on order, and still set off and control my "Canon" Flashpoint Li-on OCF? I also have Younguo that I use from time to time as a kicker light from time to time. I LOVE my Li-on!
I have a question, what if I had a Sony flash (that wasn’t the godox flash with a Sony mount), and I bought the trigger to place in my hot shoe and the receiver to fire off my Sony flash off camera. If I was to get an ad200 could I trigger that flash as a slave to the Sony brand flash that’s being triggered by the godox trigger on my camera?
I'm currently a canon user and I like the flash quality I get from the canon flashes and I like the color temp. of the canon flashes. Any canon users out their shooting with the godox tt685, do you see any differences in quality and temp? And are you noticing misfires more frequently with the godox?
I am going to switch systems from canon to sony... Godox x1t / xt2 sony Can this trigger work with Godox tt600?
I think Godox kind of doesn't want to encourage people to tell us that the normal, small on camera flashes like the TT350 can be used as a full blown trigger with all the features of a normal trigger, because they want people to buy a trigger and another flash, where now, with people showing us it's capabilities, people would rather just buy another flash witch can be used as a flash or trigger. So they would sell less triggers now. Well, that's what I think. Because it's not like widely advertised that the flash has an useable trigger system built in. It only has 3 channels, but many people would now rather just buy 1 other flash that to buy another flash and a trigger.
Ya, just got two AD200's and X1T trigger. Also have TT685S for my Sony a6500. So, have a 3-light system and ready to rock! :-)
I'm thinking of going with the new Sony A7iii upgrade and having Canon 80D. Upgrades from my Canon T2i.
What do you think?
I like both of those bodies. Would they be for different purposes or the 80D just as a backup?
I think I will use both interchangeably but leaning towards A7iii. 80D more for outdoor, locations
Have you tried using the Godox receivers for the Canon Flashguns with the Godox trigger and the AD200? I too have lots of Canon peripherals and I recently switched to Sony. thanks. =)
can i use the xpro c for canon on a sony body (a7iii)
awesome...!!
I hope it work for both Nikon and Sony as well
Can the Sony godoox for a Sony fire off canon 600 flashes? Great video
hi.first time camera user.does godox tt685c work on canon m50?ty
Will the Godox X2T-F trigger a Canon Flash (430EX) attached to a Goddox X1R-C?
Yes, in manual mode only. No TTL No HSS. I bought that stuff after watching this video. Painfully updated firmware on the Godox stuff, still won't work. Sticking with my Radiopopper jrx stuff. It seems wasteful to replace perfectly good flashes.
Hey Gerald, I was wondering if you could use a Sony Godox Trigger to trigger Canon Flashes like the V860ii wirelessly through radio transmitter? And vise versa, if it's possible, would it be able to do TTL or High speed sync as well? Thanks! Love the videos you create and keep it up!
Yes, you should be able to. Godox/flashpoint have receivers to attach to the shoes of Canon flashes. The Godox transmitters (including Godox flashes with master capability) should be able to communicate HSS and TTL commands to the Canon flash.
Godox TT685 can be used the same way also ?
Would both S and C versions work? I'm just starting and looking to buy X1T so was wondering which version should I buy to have all the features (got Canon 5D classic and TT685c) and still be able to transition in the future, thanks!
Any GODOX trigger will control any other GODOX light if they're part of the wireless-X system. But you want to make sure the trigger matches the brand of the camera you're putting it in.
Hi Gerald! Many thanks for this video! Like you, I am invested in Canon and have also bought into Sony (A7RII and A6000). I use the both camera systems for different needs. I'm going into real estate soon and really thinking about the HOW to invest in Godox to suit both my Canon and Sonys. That said , I was wondering WHY you were using TT350's and if using an V860II or V1 speedlight would function the same exact way you used the TT350's. I'm not sure I understand if the Godox X System of a V1 is the same as a Radio Signal - - are they the same? I hope you don't mind helping me out with your thoughts or experience on this. Thanks a bunch in advance! ;-)
Finally a video to understand. NOW, if i were to use this set up BUT have a canon and a sony like you show here. But have another set of speedlites, not the AD200 for OCF. Would they need to be Sony or Canon? Or it will not matter? just the ones that you have on camera. Also. are The TT600 and TT685’s compatible with the 860 speedlite?
I'll do my best to answer everything, but some things I haven't tested, so no guarantees.
When it comes to using non-Godox flashes with a Godox flash on camera or as master, you need to use receivers, but I don't believe that the special functions will communicate cross-brand. So, for example, a Godox thinklite on camera can control a Sony or Canon flash off camera provided you put an X1R receiver on it for the correct brand, but the Canon camera likely wouldn't be able to send TTL or HSS to the Sony flash. It might work, I haven't tested, but I kind of doubt it.
As far as the TT600s, they should work. When it comes to Godox look for the words "X radio system", generally if a product has that (which the TT600 does) it means it should work with any other devices that also have that.
Hope that helps! 😃
Great video. Solves my riddle half way. Another quick question which could also be stupid coz I am new to flash photography. Is there any ways i could take both flashes off camera? I am planning to get an AD 200 along with a V860iiC for my Canon body. But since I am planning to Get a Sony body soon, is it possible to fire the same flash (Off camera) using my sony? I wouldnt mind buying a trigger or any adapters which is reliable.
The Sony can trigger the V860, but you'll need to get a trigger for the Sony (or another flash with trigger built in).
You could use a TT350 as they have triggers built in and are cheap and small, or you could get the X1T-S trigger.
Here's a link for each: geni.us/y5HK / geni.us/6rDSi3S
I already love godox flash...now a little bit more. Thanks as always for your great explanation. I’m done!
Thanks, Marco! Appreciate it. 😃👍
I have a canon 5D mk3 and a Godox v86011 and a transmitter X1c they work well together I also have a canon powershot G15 the speedlite and transmitter wont work I have to go into the custom function menu and disable ttl and use the flash on manual only. when using the G15
That's interesting. Thanks for sharing your experience and workaround. 👍😃
Can you use a Transmitter triggerfor any particular brand to transmit a signal to the tt350 no matter the brand it is for?
As long as it is on the GODOX X system. But you can't use a PocketWizard or Canon made transmitter.
@@geraldundone Thanks! Love your videos!
Great show, great show ! Have a bunch of Godox now....but still have 4 580ex2 flashes laying around....any way to use them with the Godox? Should I just sell them and buy more Godox?
Personally I would probably sell them. That's what we did. But if you would prefer to use them you can add a receiver to the bottom of them, I'll grab you a link. Standby... X1R-C: geni.us/jakW
so let say if i have xpro c mounted on my canon and use ad200 as a key light, 580ex as slave. do i have to buy x1r-c ?
@bally - Yes, because the Canon isn't on the same network. You need to bring it on the Godox system with the receiver that goes on the flash.
but if i want to use sony i have to have xpro-s ? and the 580ex2 would be useless than?
I have a godox V1-N and i use it as an off camera flash with my Nikon camera with a XT1-N godox trigger....if i understand it right ,,,if i move to sony camera..i can still use my V1-N off camera if i use a sony XT1-s trigger on my sony camera...so need to just change my trigger .
I tried many way to change setting of my godox x1t transmitter with sony a7r2 but not working my strobe flash, test button only firing, I connected my neewer c300 with godox x1s receiver, help me how its work
I did the switch from Canon to Sony and have a Canon speedlite so I was wondering if the following would work.
Master:
Xpro-s on the Sony A7R ii
Slaves:
AD600 pro
Godox V850ii-s
Godox V850ii-c
X1-c on Canon 580EX
All the Godox's would take TTL and manual/group settings from Xpro-s, but would the X1 have TTL and manual control on the Canon speedlite or would it just trigger?
Keep them great videos coming! :)
Thanks for the kind words! 😃
Unfortunately, I can't test that combination for you, but I have a theory:
Generally cross-system doesn't send advanced details like TTL or HSS, but manual usually works.
So, I think you might be able to set the manual power remotely and trigger it on the Canon, but I doubt that you'll be able to send Sony's HSS or TTL info.
Hope that helps.
Setting manual power is at least something :)
Thanks for the quick response!
I wish you did more photography content! Still, much love.
how to do you change the channel on the speedlight...
I did not know how versatile Godox products are !
I would love a pair of AD200's !
Q. can you turn off the main flash when it is one the camera and just use the 350 as a transmitter only ! ?
Yes, you absolutely can. Do it all the time. 👍😃
@@geraldundone
I must say Gerald I have watched a number of your videos which ate very informative and helpful.
I was going to buy Yongnou wireless flash system. Now you have shown me the light on the Godox system I am impressed and sold !
Many, many thanks to you, oh and Julie
you explained everything well.... i have a question .... I have a Godox X1-T-N TTL Wireless Flash Trigger Transmitter for Nikon...... and there is a GODOX TT350 for sony is avlb on Amazon India for half price..... i want to know that will it work with my trigger.... I mean not just firing the flash .... can i control it with my trigger.. all the adjustments... power levels ... zoom..etc
It should work, yes. Assuming that you were planning to use the TT350 off-camera and control it with the X1T-N on your camera.
@@geraldundone yes exactly... I want to use it as off camera .... For on camera I can use my manual flash...
show us how you make your sitting
Hi Gerald! Great test, great video! It would be interesting to know, if your old Canon speedlites work when using a Godox Transmitter (X Pro S) on your Sony camera and a Godox X1R-C Receiver attached to the speedlites, so you can still use the older equipment, too. Greetings from Germany!
Thomas Günther - I did a brief test of that in the camera store, and from what I remember the transmitters and receivers dont work as well cross platform. Sony and Canon don't communicate their HSS and ETTL very well that way. You can still trigger, but just basic settings.
Hi Gerald! Very interesting! Thanks for the fast reply!
I'm wondering if buying an XProC (Canon) transmitter for my Sony A7R2 (with Canon-to-Sony hotshoe adapter) will allow me to shoot in HSS to my Canon 600 EX-RT, based on things you've said here in this GREAT video.
Trying to get fancy with it, eh? 😉
Ha. Thanks for the comment. That's an interesting configuration. I truly have no idea if it will work.
Thanks, my man. 👍Great testing you've done, regardless.
does this work?
I didn't try it. Should have. Instead, sold the Canon flash and got a Godox AD200 and 2 Godox V860II's.
ok, thanks for the response. I bought a Sony XPro, and if I need to use the AD200 on my Canon I'll just single pin it or use my PWs. Can't have HSS everywhere I say!
Thank you, so much for you video. It's interesting used the same flash brand in different cameras. Do you think I could use my canon 580ii flash (With Godox X1C) in a sony a6500, using Godox XPro flash trigger? Thank you for you help.
Yep, as long as the trigger is the Sony version it should work fine.
@@geraldundone Sony receiver o Canon receiver?, I though Godox X1C-R would be ok, Thank you.
Anyone knows If i can use my godox xpro on my Sony camera to trigger Canon ex600?
can i use xpro for sony trigger tt685 for canon? and tt685 for canon will behave just like tt685 for SONY?! Thanks!!
Yeah, as long as the device that's on the camera is made for the camera, you can trigger the other model flashes. So like you said, Sony trigger on the Sony can trigger any other Godox X devices.
@@geraldundone so can i use an xpro C with my 685 S without a compatibility issue? thank you very much here in Brazil
Thanks for this informative video. As a result, I tried my Flashpoint (Godox) tt360 for Canon, triggered by my XPPro for Sony (Flashpoint R2) trigger on my Sony A6500 camera. It appears to work well in both manual and with HSS... Until I watched your video, I thought that I was going o need another Flashpoint 360 in a Sony configuration...
That's awesome to hear! I'm glad I could help. 😃👍
Do tt350s works on canon dslr flawlessly
Anyone using X1T-o on a GH5 to run either an old Nikon SB28 or also old Metz 48 (Nikon) via the X1R-n with TTL? The reading I've seen seems to be saying the X1R-n needs a X1T-n mounted on a Nikon body to function at all. Would really like someone to tell me that's wrong.
