Hi, Dave! Thanks for your video! I know it's been a LONG time since you posted this video, but I need some help... I need to figure out how to trigger my camera remotely when I use flash from a position some distance from my tripod-mounted camera. I DO have an Olympus M5 mark II, the X1 receiver/transmitter, a 685 flash like yours, and a cheap-but-great Neewer speedlite. What I have been doing is putting the 685 on the camera (in wifi transmit mode) and locating the X1 - as a receiver - connected to the the speedlight to a remote background loacation, and it works perfectly when I physically press the shutter button on the camera. I do real estate photography and this is great to light up rooms in the the background, which would otherwise be dark. BUT NOW it would be great if the camera was mounted on a tripod with the 685 on top, ready to go, with me holding a speedlight with the X1 OR a second 685 in a distant location while I somehow trigger the camera shutter from some distance away. Maybe that's clear as mud, but I just want to trigger the camera remotely and have both flashes work as they do now. Is that even possible? Sorry to be so wordy, but I've been trying to figure this out for quite a while. Thanks for your time and for this video. Subscribed! PS: You may have figured out that I want to try something called the "flambient" technique of real estate photography, but simply don't know how to trigger my camera using anything other than my finger on the shutter button - Ha!
I do something similar, only i carry a godox receiver with a stratos transmitter either in my crry bag while i shoot, or strung onto a light stand to trigger, 4x SB800s. All in manual mode, but you learn how to do this very quickly.
Thanks Dave. I’m always wondering, with all of the electronics that I have, whether I am missing something one bit of equipment works with another and I hadn’t thought about it. Thanks for the inspiration.
It's not a hack at all. All those people thought the top mounted hotshoe is an ATG's TTL, but it's not. Surely ATG disabled ATG TTL (passthru) on X2t on Sony And ATG disabled ATG TCM on X2t To get those, price jumps up to $675. Well worth it.

you can just put the manual flash on top of the Godox receiver without the other transmitter/receiver... I don't know what drugs this guy is taking
Dah!
