    The new Godox X2T transmitter / trigger / transceiver is the latest radio trigger compatible with the Godox X-Series which includes the TT600, TT685, V860ii, V850ii, TT350, V350, AD200, AD360ii, AD600, AD600 Pro, AD400 Pro, along with the QT, QS, SK, and DP series strobes. It will also work with the upcoming Godox V1 round head flash and Godox AD200 Pro.
    It's expected that there will be 6 versions of this trigger, X2T-C (Canon), X2T-N (Nikon), X2T-S (Sony), X2T-F (Fuji), X2T-O (Olympus / Panasonic), X2T-P (Pentax).
    The Godox X2T includes a lot of feature updates over it's predecessor, the X1T. It has 5 independent group selection buttons which double as mode change. It has a redesigned and relocated adjustment wheel. 3 buttons have been moved from the right of the screen to the left of the screen. The AF assist beam has changed to a lamp instead of a grid. Bluetooth has been added so no longer do you need the Godox A1 to communicate between flashes and the Godox app. Scan for best channel has also been added.
    Godox X1T Description
    The Godox x1 is the ultimate radio transmitter for Nikon DSLRs that speaks to Godox AD360ii, Godox Li-on and Godox and Nikon Radio Remote without missing a beat and connects to all strobes with sync ports. The incredible range of these compact and lightweight units as well as their integrated functions and features make them the first choice of professional photographers. The proprietary TTL and HSS enabled 2.4GHz x1 Radio Remote System radio triggers transmits atop a Nikon body with the essential TTL pass-through and laser AF assist and works with the complete family of Godox X Series Speedlights, Monolights and Strobe lights with x1 TTL radio transceiver built right in.
    All the x1 enabled family communicate seamlessly: the lithium powered Godox Li-on Nikon, Canon and Sony TTL speedlights, the Godox M alkaline energized speedlight, the fantastic AD360ii 360 Nikon and Canon TTL powerhouse, and the masterful 600ws AD600 monolights. Older Godox flashes can be fired and controlled off camera while being attached to the x1 Radio Remote Receiver FPRRx1RN to grace remote link to earlier models.
    The x1t provides a full proprietary GR Group style interface allowing up to 5 Groups to be individually set to either TTL, Manual, or Off and most importantly, TTL and Manual Groups can be conveniently mixed together as needed.The battery powered units provide TTL, HSS (High Speed Sync) and even a HSS pre-sync timing adjustment for precision synchronization. PC cord sync input andoutput ports are provided for external device remote sync without automation. x1r receivers are compatible with Nikon CLS system speedlights like the Nikon SB-910, SB-900, or SB700. Controlling the remote strobes is straightforward, with a large clear LCD panel interface aside 3 separate buttons relating to channel, groups and modes, while a thumb wheel provides fast scroll adjustment for the selected function. A simple switch located on the side of the transmitter allows the laser pattern Focus Assist Light to be switched on and off when needed.

  • @MinhAnhFromEarth

    I just got the X2T and the biggest quirk seems to be that after exactly 30s of non-operation, it loses the current selection of the group, and if I need to change the light power I'll either need to press the group button, or the set button, and only after then can I use the wheel to change the power. On the XPro the current group remains selected and all I have to do is to use the wheel to change the power. Anyone knows the way around the behavior of the X2T?

    I'm one of those users who needs the additional hotshoe that is featured on the X1T and omitted on the X Pro trigger so I'm glad Godox saw fit to update this. I originally was happy with the X1T but " upgraded " to the X Pro trigger on release. There is no doubt that the X Pro is ergonomically way better but for me there is a caveat. I use my Sekonic lightmeter which has the in built pocket wizard transceiver and one of the complaints many make is how they wish Godox products were pocket wizard compatible. In fact they are, well sort of. With the X1T trigger I simply mount a pocket wizard to it's hotshoe and mount the trigger to my cameras hotshoe. The X1T trigger features a bi directional sync socket which in the " secret function menu " can be configured as an input or output. Not sure what the default was but I configured mine as an input. Plug the pocket Wizards sync socket to the X1T's sync socket. Now, whenever you use your pocket wizard enabled Sekonic light meter it will fire the flashes 😊 Now obviously to make changes to individual flashes/strobes it means you have to walk over to the camera mounted X1T and make adjustments to the settings, which is a pain in the ass, however this is where the X Pro trigger comes in. I have my X Pro trigger with me and can use that in situ to make any alterations to any of my lights without having to do so via the X1T. Technically you can use the X Pro to do exactly the same thing but you end up with the pocket wizard dangling off the trigger unless you are able to velco it onto the trigger itself. The odd shape of the X Pro makes doing that difficult, far better to have the pocket wizard positioned in the hotshoe of the X1T in my opinion. Even in situations where I'm not using my lightmeter ( run and gun flash scenarios ) I still prefer the smaller form factor of the X1T in my hotshoe. I'll be getting this version 2 as soon as it's availible, hopefully the LCD screen is more scratch resistant because the main downer for me regards the X1T is how easily the LCD gets scuffed up 😉

  • @johnchanavm
    @johnchanavm 5 лет назад +3

    People need this because e.g. event photographers need to use on camera flash all the time, and sometimes adding extra remote flashes to light the environment or create special effects. But before V1, EVERY on camera flash as master sucks in controlling the remote flashes, extremely slow to operate. That's why I still love the Cactus V6 so much :) , other brands should have "copied" such design years ago :P

    • @robhallphoto
      @robhallphoto  5 лет назад

      I agree with you the the (pre-V1) Godox speedlights are not as fast as they could be, but I disagree that they aren't fast enough for event work. Let's remember that 4-5 years ago people were walking to and pulling down their light stands just to change a power output of a remote flash. I've had no problem controlling my OCF on the fly with both V860ii's and V350s.

    • @IndigoEyePhotography
      @IndigoEyePhotography 5 лет назад

      I got a V6 II and RF 60x a little over a month ago. I agree that Cactus had superior ergonomics, but getting any flash to work on the V6 II's hotshoe has been an absolute nightmare for me (on my Canon, the hotshoe never worked when X-TTL was installed).
      If I had learned about the X2T trigger earlier, I would have gone for Godox instead with its wider variety of flash options.

    • @charlesludwig9173
      @charlesludwig9173 5 лет назад

      Yes, I shoot real estate interiors. I want to shoot with my on camera flash, as well as an off camera flash placed at opposite end of room so I need a trigger to fire the off camera flash and the on camera flash, as well as a receiver for the off camera flash. In fact it's essential since I am shooting hand held and therefore can not hold a flash in hand while shooting or use a tripod which is too inconvenient. I also need TTL to so I'm going with Pocket Wizard MiniTT 1 and FlexTT5 which will work with my SB-700 speedlights and Nikon cameras.

    Not sure if anyone mentioned this, but prefer this over the pro for the sole reason that I can put my body with long 70-200 lens attached in my bag and not have to remove the transmitter. Easier on the camera hotshoe contacts not having to take off and remove the transmitter a gazillion times. When working without an assistant, I use a wheeled cart for my lights and can be ready for the shot (and back ready to move on) with a lot less fumbling around.

    Thanks for another excellent review Robert. I rely on you to update me on Godox developments and your impartial criticism of the products. It seems that Godox listen to your constructive comments and so maybe you could mention the apparent fragility of the hot shoe on the X Pro S. I am new to Sony (having used Nikon previously) and the XPro-S base plate looks ultra-breakable when compared to that of the XPro-N, with its metal plate. I feel that I need to take more care with the XPro than I do with my A7RIII.

    A good straight up review, my personal biggest problem with the X1 was the On/Off button. It stuck out the side of the body and was extremely light to operate, which meant it got accidently bumped/turned on all the time draining the battery’s (same for the X1R receivers). This would not be a problem in studio. But we all use Godox lights because they a battery powered, and we can throw them in a bucket and go anywhere. Although you didn’t touch on this, from what I could see in the video it looks like this is fixed. The switches appear to be recessed now which will be awesome for me and every one else who works on site. Obviously the twist lock base and the other bit's are great as well, great to see a company actually putting some actual improvements into a new model instead of minor facelifts, good work Godox and good review Robert.

    I've been using the X2Tc for several months and I've been quite pleased with it. The Bluetooth to cell phone connection and App had me a bit confused when trying to get it working, but I figured out what I was doing wrong and it is working fine now. It does let me adjust all 5 groups and trigger them from the cell phone, leaving the final cell phone settings on the X2T so it is ready for shooting, but the only advantage that I see with it is not having to remove the X2T from the camera to do this. The App does not yet support my cell phone for remote triggering of the camera yet, but I doubt that I would ever use that feature anyway. I do mostly studio work.

    AF ASSIST WORKS SO GOOD ON THE A7R3!!! I just received my X2T-s and tested it with my Sony A7R3. I already had the X1T-s, and after updating it's software and being able to have the AF assist working (but not with as good results as with a dslr camera), I was curious to compare it with the new X2T-s. And guys I'm so happy, the X2T-s AF assist is much better, the focus is almost as good as with my nikon dslr. And that was such a problem for me, as I for shooting weddings, you simply need an AF assist for the dancing moment, no way to focus properly in very dim light - party lights with the A7R3 without it, and yes I tried with a 1.4 lens and live view display off. But so you know it, on the final version of the X2T-s, the AF assist is a grid pattern, not a strong beam as on your video.

      The X2Ts grid does work you just need to have all the right settings on. AF beam needs to be on trigger and AF assist on in camera. Focus point needs to be on center, and you need to be in AF-S, not AF-C as AF assist beams can't work in continuous mode (and never have).

    Still waiting for ANY manufacturer to have a trigger that has a pivot position feature.

    • @robhallphoto
      @robhallphoto  5 лет назад

      For tilt or for horizontal rotation? For tilt, no thanks. That's just creating a weak point and another spot that the trigger can break at. Reminds me of the Cyber commander which was annoying when it worked and unusable once it wore out and failed.

    Robert, I am curious about 3.10: what did you do with your trigger that you can change mode with one button? I got the X2T Fuji version that cannot do this. I always have to use the mode button... Latest firmware 1.0.

    How on earth did you get one with all metal hotshue connector? I have two, X1t and X2t and both of them have plastic hotshue connectors, well, x1t no longer has one, because the connector broke. You didn't mention that X2t eats batteries like hell. X1t lasted for very long time, x2t, I have to charge batteries every 2 if not for every shoot.

    • @robhallphoto

      This was pre-production, and for Canon mount - hence the metal shoe and LED AF assist beam. It's also the only one that has double tap groups. All of this was changed for production model.

    I bought this transmitter for Panasonic camera, however the lower hot shoe where is attached to the camera has multi pins contacts, except the hot shoe on top has on ly 1 pin contact. What is going on with this model? If it has no multi pins on the hot shoe, it will not has the TTL function if you attach a Panasonic flash on this hot shoe. The box of the unit did show it has multi pins, but the actual unit itself doesn't. Please explain...Thanks

    • @atggreat7981
      @atggreat7981 3 года назад

      Correct. ATG/Godox disabled to not be a true ATG TTL passthru hotshoe.
      Like the X2Ts, the top hotshoe is a MIS, but no wires are connected to become ATG TTL.
      Only the ATG Gold version have it. And reserved for pros with starting price of $400.00.

    I have the XPro-C ( for Canon ) and it only ever shows a max of 2 bars. ( not one like the one you have ) Something tells me they have *not* addressed the battery icon charge issue which is disappointing. BTW, B&H doesn't even have this new product listed yet ( not even a pre-order) so you got yours very early Robert ! Cool !

    Why I would not upgrade (from X1T): I am right handed and shoot 90% in portrait orientation. The X2T's hotshoe being shifted to the right (compared to X1T) makes that, mounted on my A7iii, I would not have any space left to squeeze my nose in, or force me to do some face gimmicks to be able to look trought the EVF.

    • @robhallphoto

      Could have been an adjustment made during production release as this was pre-production. It's possible that the double tap feature violated some agreement with their development of the Flashpoint R2 Pro II.

    there is a good reason for the controls being on the right, that is, mostly this style is a studio setup, so therefore the camera is on a studio stand, or a tripod, so BOTH hands are free, when not using a light meter or moving the subject or props around, esp if digital 35 mm/ MF workflow is considered,where the camera is tethered to a laptop, so one hand is on the computer and it's keyboard/editting console (the board with all the dials buttons to edit the shot with, similar to a drawing waccom tablet); the other adjusts the flash power with the trigger controls.
