Godox Releases TT685 F and V860 II F with Firmware Ver. 1.0

The TT685 F and the V860 II F are now shipping, and hence, you can find on the Godox firmware page, the original ver.1.0 firmware. See the firmware here.

And just recently (August 21) Godox updated the X1TF controller with HSS support for Fujifilm GFX 50s and X100F and more  – read here. And regading this X1TF update, I got the following email by Markus Klinko… and he asks for feedback if possible…

– X1T-F easily crashes, or semi-crashes and needs to be re-set, batteries taken out etc.
I never had this issue when using the RoboSHOOT MX20 with the Godox X1T-N.
But it def was a bit glitchy in other ways.

– the new firmware V03 works actually less good with GFX. The previous version
was able to recognize when to go into HSS and back to normal flash, while V03
only recognizes when shutter speeds are set above sync speed, and does move into HSS,
but coming back to 1/125, it keeps the flashes in HSS mode. Once test flash is fired from the trigger
itself, the flashes go back to normal flash. Its not a huge deal, but indicative that sometime is wrong with V03.

What’s Next From Fujifilm… and What You Might Have Missed This Summer!

Hey X-folks…

I really hope you had (and are still having) a fantastic summer.

I hope you could travel, see new cities, taste new food, climb some mountains, play with the waves in the sea, photograph something that inspired you… and especially I hope you had time for your families, friends… and for yourself.

But also during this summer, FujiRumors worked restlessly on the rumors and news… and it was so busy, that you might have missed a few rumors and news during your summer break.

So I thought it could be useful to give you guys an overview of what happened over the summer in the Fuji World… also in the hope this can somehow mitigate your pain for going back at work… at least a bit… because AWESOME FUJI TIMES are coming :)

have a GREAT Sunday,
