I tried reading the manuals for both the TT685s and the X1Ts. Brick wall. Your video showed me how to do it. Thank you!
I’m glad this helped!
Finally got the Godox TT685 and the (new version) Godox X2T controller to work together on my Sony A7iii. Had to set an ID on both and it now works. Thanks for the walkthrough. Can't wait to use off-camera flash at long last for lighting megalithic tombs here in Ireland.
Ed, this video is a godsend. Every new electronic gadget that comes out adds another layer of complexity that the Manual simply does not address. I consider that Godex ought to have commissioned you - and rewarded you handsomely - to produce this as a service to their customers. More power to your arm!
Godox didn’t ask for this one but I thought it might be a helpful one to make. Thanks!
I just purchased a Godox TTL 865S. Your video saved me hours and hours of pouring over the documentation to figure out how to use it. I am new to flash photography and you were a great help, thank you very much.
This is the BEST UA-cam tutorial I have seen regarding the TT685. It is also one of the best UA-cam videos I have seen. Very to the point and understandable. Speaks in simple terms. Thanks! Excellent presentation!
Thanks for the video! I have these flashes, but found them a bit confusing to setup. Your explanation helped me a lot!
So glad this helped!
Great tutorial. I started using my Godox flash with my sony after a long break, your video was very helpful as a refresher course, thanks :)
Just got a sony this past year and was having trouble getting it to sync with my other goddox/flashpoint (canon) flashes including the ad200...this video saved my sanity! A note to other sony users I had to turn my "wireless" flash in camera to "off" for it to work, tried both ways and soon as I turned the feature in camera to on only the flash (flashpoint sony) in hot shoe fired, turned it off and all fired and was able to control output from master flash. I only have a Canon goddox trigger system and still have Canon cameras but now I can use my system with my sony!
Thank you Ed. I've never been able to fully understand the when and how to change the settings of my flashes. I'm going to follow your video.
Thank you so much for this video! Clear and concise without going too fast. Super helpful!
Thanks for sharing your knowledge. This is helpful information. I’m going to follow your video step by step.
After hours and hours of testing, I found this video! Gees, I should have searched earlier! Thanks!
by for the best on you tube I can understand now after watching 4 different voido i am a big fan of your cheanel
Very helpful tutorial. I saved it to my new Sony A7iii folder.
Great explanation of how to use flash and trigger. I found the manual that came with it clear as mud!
Finally! Thanks Ed. 😊
Thank you so much for this video. I’ve been struggling to figure this out and this is super helpful. I was finally able to get my X1T to work with my Godox V860 II S. This is the most thorough video I have seen.

Thank you so much! This was clear, and concise. I appreciate it.
Look no more, this is the definitive video guide you need to master the operation of your Godox flash.
Thanks Ed !!!
Thanks for the product demonstration. Much appreciated!
thank you for the excellent explanation.
Very informative! Thanks fo sharing.
Thanks! This was just what I needed, as I am new to portrait work, and just purchased this flash and trigger for my Sony a6500. I also ordered the manikin head(s) you suggested in another video. I'm set to practice! :)
Cool. Let me know how it goes!
Note that many of the settings/options shown are for the Sony version of this flash. There are differences based on which make of camera you're using, as noted by Eric Snissaert
in the comments below.
I have a problem with Godox, when i used flash my shutter delayed. Can you explain how i can fix that problem?
can you please let me know the flash settings for the Sony a 7 iii, m using godox TT685s and sony Sony a7iii, i have a problem, if i keep the ISO high i get a good light, but the problem is noise, but if at all i keep the ISO low i get darker pictures, m not getting whether i need to change any settings in Camera or flash..please help me in this...
Thanks very helpful i am using tt 685s with sony hx400v
Very clear, you made it easy thanks, great video.
Hi, I'm new to photography. Is there a way to use this speedlite OFF camera without any trigger or secondary speedlite? For instance, if I only have 1 Godox speedlite and a Sony camera, can I put the speedlite on a stand and set my camera to trigger a flash?
Brilliant just what I was looking for. Many thanks
Best explanation after searching forever thank you, why does it go to sleep so soon? I keep firing with no flash then second time works, frustrating
Appreciate the info. Thank you!
Very clear. Thank you very much.
Great video. Love my Godox flashes.
Perfect your a legend
Bingo, exactly what I needed to know.
Great tutorial thanks
Thank you 😊
I have a TT685s with a Sony a7ii, and the new x2t trigger, but can't seem to figure out how to get HSS to work off camera, When I am in shutter speed priority, the camera will not allow to go faster than 1/250th, thoughts?????
so helpful!
Thank you for sharing this🙏
This is the best tutorial I found! I have been wanting to shoot with wireless flashes for a while, but couldn't wrap my head around how it works, and what flashes to use.
Just one question; I already have a Canon Speedlite 580 EX II, can I use this flash in a wireless setup in combination with the Godox TT685 and X1Ts? I would like to use the 580 on-camera but want to be able to use it wireless also.
I got optical working with my A7iii without a Sony flash. It took a while to figure it out.
Cheers Ed!
Hello. I bought a Godox TT685S for my Sony A6500. I mount it regularly on the shoe mount. Depending on the lighting situation sometimes the camera triggers the flash, sometimes it doesn't. Is there any setup for the camera so it will trigger the Godox Flash every time I take a picture ? Thank you.
Thanks for your video ❤️
HI Ed thanks answered a big question of mine which was whether I can switch of the master flash. One more question, will a TTL flash as a master adjust a non TTL flash, like for example the Godox tt600?
Thanks for this - you explain things very well. One thing that still puzzles me is this: I have an X1T on camera (a7R III) and a TT685 set up as wireless slave. With M mode on the camera, the shutter speed isn't limited to 1/250, since it can be set all the way up to 1/8000 with no visible shutter curtain blackout in photos, as if HSS is operating. When I check the SYNC settings in every mode on the TT685, they're all 'off' and, of course, there isn't a SYNC option in wireless slave mode, so it must be defaulting to HSS = On. Is that right?
Correct. They'll automatically trip up to HSS at higher shutter speeds.
Thank you very much! I can switch the flash to radio wireless mode until it isn't on the camera, but when i put on and turn on the camera, the radio wireless option isn't selectable :(
Many thanks.
The radio mode dissappear when my camera is on. I cab only see the radio flash option once it is not mounted on a camera or while my camera us turned off. When I turn on the camera the radio mode automatically changes to optical flash mode. Do you know how to fix it? Thank you.
Godox has changed the TT685 for Sony. It is now TT685 II S. What was the mode button is now a Menu button, the lock/unlock has moved to the wheel where it is treacherously easy to engage accidently, Function button 3 has multiple purposes. AND their new manual does NOT correctly reflect their new layout. Theoretically it is supposed to be compatible with the new a7 iv without a controller but no one seems to have been able to make that work.
Thanks for the update!
Thank you, thank you!
Can TT685 S along with X1 T Trigger for Sony be used with Sony HX400V Camera ? Sony HX400V is not a DSLR Camera. It is Bridge or Superzoom Camera !
Thanks Ed! You explained the basic settings very well! The Nikon version (I'm using vs 3.2) is a bit different though, but the basics are the same of course. I observed that the flash shows the HS symbol automatically when attached to the Nikon D750 which is also set to HS (called Auto FP in the menu). The same with Canon?
Ah, thanks for mentioning that. It would seem that each version should behave according to the manufacturers’ proprietary way. On my canons, in the past, the HSS was turned on by the photographer and then only kicked in automatically in certain lighting conditions, or if the flash sync was exceeded.
how many pictures can you take with AA batteries. How do you think, is the battery model (V350, or V860ii) more practical, or can the TT model work well?
Does these flashes work for Nikon,canon and Pentax? How to set up flash power output? Thanks!
have you had problems with the lock? I couldn't untwist it no matter how hard i try, any solutions?
Hey man, just getting into flash photography, is it possible to use godox tt685 flash unit with some sort of power cable ? I would like to use it indoors without wasting batteries, so it would be logical to just power it through AC cable, thanks
Just got the Godox TT685s , was following this video but I can't change the zoom?
Great Video! Just got The Godox TT685 S with Godox X1T 2.4G S (Amazon). I feel my transmitter is faulty because my Gr & Mode button Won't Change.
All I can get is: A/B/C channels & either 'ON or - - OFF' it won't change into TTL/M modes. I can set the output 1/4 - 1/128 & the T - H. Using this system as an Off camera set up with my Sony a7III. Only way they fire is by having both Godox units on channel 1 & A. Did I get a bad transmitter or am I missing something? Should be easy; Have watched at least 6 UA-cam videos & lost... HELP
Are you in the transmitter’s Multi mode when doing this?
@@edverosky Can't find that anywhere on transmitter I just have the 3 channels A/B/C all ON. Nothing else comes up no other choices on the X1 T.
You are saying transmitter are you referring to the 685 flash or the X1 T? Does the 685 flash unit change/control panel of the X1 T? Thank you for responding.

@@davidclarke1152 See page 40 of the transmitter's manual. I found that when I switched it to Custom Control 4, it acted the way you mentioned. It needs to be on the standard mode. www.godox.com/EN/InstructionManual/Godox_X1S_20170911.pdf
Does it works for Sony alpha a7 the first model?? thank you!
Is it possible to use the x1 transmitter with sony hvl f32m flash?
Very informative. If I buy a separate X1t unit for my Nikon, can I use the same flashes in my Sony setup?
The Nikon version of the X1t? Yes.
@@edverosky It'd be interesting to know if HSS works as well. Mine are not heterogeneous (all "N" type), so I can't test. It would depend on whether there are different timing issues between a TT685s flash and the Nikon camera (for example).
ED, great video can you help me to setup my GodoxII 860 for my Sony A6400, I can setup properly when I attach the flash to the camera it say "set your camera" I know that I have to be enable the WL option but I can't find it in my menu, any help? Please. Thank you note that I want the easy an simple way just use the flash attached to my camera, no remote trigger
WL is for wireless optical, from what I’ve read. I don’t think you need that for regular on camera flash unless you’re controlling other flashes.
CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME. I DONT UNDERSTAND ANYTHING ABOUT FLASHES BUT HOW DO I GET MY FLASH TO FLASH WHEN I TAKE A PICTURE, NO ONE IS EXPLAINING IT HOW
Thanks for this excellent video. As I am new I request you to explain what do the zoom values (like 20 mm or 24 mm) and power values like 1/4, or 1/128 in the flash signify? Are these values have got to do something with exposure values of the camera?
On a flash, zoom indicates the relative narrowing or widening of the beam of light the flash produces. 1/1 is the light at full power, 1/2 half power and so on.
Will these settings work with my g85. A simple video for us noobs
i have sony a6300 and godox tt685s with x1s and it doesn't fire at all in manual mode. It fires only with test button on trigger. Plz help.
I looked around and this might help. I'm unfamiliar with the a6300. www.dpreview.com/forums/thread/4241244
@@edverosky Thank you! I have a sony a6000 and godox tt685s and this post fixed my issue where the tt685s didn't fire. Turns out it needs to be put in 'slave' mode contrary to what this youtube tutorial says.
Sir, just wanna ask. Why does the test button of my godox won't light up red automatically?💔
Godox TT685S
Can I prioritize the speedlite flash settings to override that of the X1Ts transmitter?
I'm doing some REP where I'm going to be walking away from my camera-tripod setup and triggering with a remote for Flambient blending.
I want to be able to change my speedlite settings while it's in mind without having to walk back to my tripod to change it from the X1Ts transmitter - because the X1Ts keeps overriding the flash settings.
Off the top of my head I think you could switch the flash receiver off radio mode, possibly change the flash’s channel or group. If you have an x2t you can control via app away from camera position.
@@edverosky I'll give it a shot. I was thinking of trying optical mode set-to-ON for both the X1Ts transmitter and the TT685 (mine is actually the NEEWER equivalent NW880S). If my supposition is correct in that optical mode only triggers a Shutter release rather than also providing the flash settings then... Maybe it could work?
That being said, my supposition could also be wrong.
I was also considering buying a dumb transmitter/receiver set so it really only becomes a Shutter release at that point 🤔
Hi i would like to know is this tt685 compatible with x2 ?
yes
I have this flash with Sony a7iii and it only seems to work with the camera set in full auto mode and of course I prefer "A" for choosing my f stop. Is something wrong with my settings or maybe something is wrong with the camera or flash. Any thoughts?
My A7 II I just got does the same thing. I want to turn off camera Flash (TT685s) from the hot shoe. On my Canon or Nikon, this is easy. Select flash mode to off. On the Sony these are grayed out options in MSAP. Dumbest crap I have ever seen. Same with my A6000. That has built in flash, and the Flash OFF option is not there in MSAP modes, only AUTO... Sony must have some reason for this!! I see you have no responses either. Only option is to manually turn off the damn speedlight with its own power button.. How inconvenient
I just tried this in Aperture Priority mode with the flash on TTL. It seems to work fine. Remember that the camera has to be set to “fill flash” (not intuitive but that’s the correct mode).
ua-cam.com/video/hC7qmb-AQxQ/v-deo.html here is how to turn the focus assist on. Worked for me, just skip it until the moment when he explains trigger settings
dont understand a single thing. doesn't work as well
