First Godox XT1-F Hands On Report and Damien Lovegrove Final Godox Testing

Share

The Godox Flash system is currently one of the best (if not the best) option for Fujifilm Shooters looking for a solid (and extremely affordable) flash system.

There is a great buzz about the Godox flash at our huge 14,000 GFX facebook group. And here are two Godox reports you should not miss.

The first one comes from David Ward (dmwfotos.com), who is using the Godox X1T-F controller already. The second one from Damien Lovegrove, who switched from Cactus to Godox and is now sharing his feedback on the group.

Godox/Flashpoint X1T-F controller: BHphoto, Adorama, AmazonUS
Godox/Flashpoint TT350F: Adorama, AmazonUS
Godox/Flashpoint TT685F: BHphoto, Adorama, AmazonUS

X-series Unlimited eBook

Fujifilm X Photographer Dan Bailey wrote a Fuji guide called X SERIES UNLIMITED. It’s a 50K word, 329-page eBook. He describes very single feature, function and menu item and detail how they can be used in real life shooting situations as well as pro insight and practical tips. He also talks about how to operate the cameras efficiently, how to shoot fast action with the X Series cameras, how to tweak the film simulations and customize the look of their imagery, and how to customize the operation of the camera in a way that matches their own shooting style and more.

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.

Fujifilm X-E3 Will Have Bluetooth

Share

Fujifilm X-E3

Just yesterday I shared here, that a trusted source told us the Fujifilm X-E3 will have “some new technologies not previously seen on any of the other Fujifilm cameras”.

Well, I can now tell you that one of these new features will be bluetooth.

In the comments to yesterday’s rumor I saw many of you speculating it could be IBIS. I have no rumors about it, but frankly, I’d be very surprised if it had in body image stabilization. So my personal guess is that it won’t have IBIS.

I’m trying to figure out what the others are (and to understand if they are hardware or firmware based), so if there is anyone out there, who can help me, feel free to contact me at fujirumor@gmail.com (use a fake email account if you want) , via personal message on Facebook and Twitter or you can go the 100% anonymous route and share by using the rumor box (in this case, it would help me if you would give yourself a nick-name).

have a Great Day!
