A truely excellent and up to date Godox overview by Robert Hall at Robert Hall Photography Youtube

It’s Godox Time!

In 5 years of blogging on FujiRumors I never had to share so many (good) flash news like in the last 5 weeks :) . And to keep up with the latest flash evolutions, here is roundup dedicated to Godox flash.

• Godox TT350F Review for Fujifilm at fujirumors.com (in case you missed it)
• Damien Lovegrove detailed report about using Godox flashes with Fujifilm cameras at our Fujifilm GFX facebook group. He says “the results have exceeded all my expectations […] So many times I’ve seen photographers complain about 1/125th second sync speed on the GFX but now 1/4000th gives an identical flash power output using the Godox system as does 1/125th second. Is this trickery something to do with Fujifilm’s circuitry or is it a Godox thing? “.
• Fuji HSS TTL Godox AD600 Flashpoint EPLOR 600 – Full Off Camera Support at Camera Guy Youtube
• Preview GODOX XT1-F (Off camera flash trigger for Fujifilm) at Lillo Mendola Youtube
• The Operation demonstration of Godox TT350F at Fomito youtube

Another nice news:

• According to reports coming from the Godox facebook group (and that I have found via petapixel), just like cactus here, now also Godox offers Cross-Brand TTL and HSS. Strangly, it seems that Godox never officially announced this feature, but it seems to work just fine. Robert Hall put together a nice piece over at petapixel. Make sure to check it out. He also made a video about it on his youtube channel. So check out “Godox TT350 X1T-F Dual AD-200 Cross TTL and Cross HSS” at Robert Hall Photography Youtube

Reminder: a recent Godox Firmware update added Fujifilm support for all 2.4GHz lights (TT685, V860II, TT350, AD200, AD360 , AD600) – download here.

The Flashpoint R2 TTL Transmitter (re-branded Godox X1T-F) is now available for pre-order at Adorama and the Godox TT350F is now in stock at AmazonUS here and Adorama here. The Godox/Flashpoint TT685F and V860IIF for Fujifilm are available for pre-order at Adorama.

And finally, BHphoto started selling Godox gear, using the original “Godox” name and not rebranded names (like flashpoint). Check out all BHphoto Godox products for Fujifilm here.

Iridient X-Transformer beta 4 has been released today!

Bug fixes, improvements and several new features too. All new Lightroom scripting plug-in which should avoid some of the limitations and drawbacks of “Edit In”, now converts Fujifilm camera star ratings to standard XMP type metadata, option to translate the in-camera film style setting to Lightroom specific metadata too and more…
