Thank you so much for the video. I just bought an X3 and didn’t know where to start. This is a lifesaver 😍👍

Glad I could help!

Thank you for taking the effort to make such a good video on the Godox X3 flash trigger. I agree about the orientation of the buttons especially when Godox had changed the orientation of the X1T deliberately to the left side on the X2T as well as the XPro triggers. Many be there will be a X3-II or X4 to fix the orientation. Size is the most attractive feature to me as an event photographer who is looking to carry a smaller bag on location. Godox make this touch screen module for the Godox user to get used to the touch screen functionalities so I can only imagine that more of the newer products will come with them to compete with their competitors; however, for on camera flash I am not sure how functional it would be when waring gloves in the cold weather condition.

I thought I would have zero interest in this, but decided to watch it to support you. But with the size of the device this could be fantastic when you don’t want to carry a flash on your camera and just keep it in your pocket. And the trigger is so small it doesn’t interfere with you on the camera.

Thanks. It really is small.

This was a really helpful review of the new flash trigger. It's great to see companies continuing to innovate and make their flash systems even more portable and user-friendly.

Great review, Rob!

TY good vid - big oversight placing the dial on the RHS of the trigger - designers must be kicking themselves

Nice review. I would consider the new mini trigger as a second trigger now that I have an idea how it works. Thanks.

Thanks for the explanation..worked for me!!

I've had the Olympus one on back order since early March, and looking forward to getting to play with it. Enjoyed your initial thoughts.

Thanks. I tried to get the OM version but it won't be available until late June at the earliest.

Rob, thanks so much for this review/tutorial. I have one Godox flash and have been wanting to figure out their triggers and I think this one will be a gear starting point for me. I'm on the wait list at B&H Photo already. 🙂

Another reviewer used several guitar picks to open his, and found the battery has a connector to make it replaceable without any soldering. Not that anybody will be selling the exact batteries when that's needed, but Lithium Ions are pretty much a standard voltage, so at least there's that.

Good that it's not soldered. It makes it easier for those so inclined.

LOL. I picked 21 too.

I’ve had the Olympus on backorder since February at B+H. I was also intending for use on small MFT cameras.

Nice, detailed video. Thank you. I need some help please. Can we trigger Nikon SB700 flash with this? or do we need a Godox receiver for the flash?

It only works with other Godox flashes. You can get Godox receiver hot shoes to mount the SB700. amzn.to/4bMQMiZ

So since you put it on an Olympus at the end even though it's Nikon does that mean it will work with non Nikon? So would Canon communicate with the Olympus as well? Would TTL still work across brands?

@RobTrek

3 күн бұрын

It will work on any brand camera with a few limitations. Specifically, no TTL or HSS. So you'll have to work in full manual. Also, the trigger will go to sleep after 30 seconds, so you have to wake it up each time for it to fire the flash. It's best to get a matching trigger. But if you have multiple brands of cameras, it's easy enough to work around those limitations.

You know what I noticed? There is only 1 review on the new M.ZUIKO DIGITAL ED 9-18MM F4.0-5.6 II lens lol. it must be that 900.00 price tag

It is my understanding that you would need a Godox X1R-C receiver to attach to your Canon EL-5. Canon's wireless system is not even remotely compatible with anyone else's.

I ordered the Flashpoint version for OM Systems in January. Alas, I still have not received it.

hello I have a question about this trigger. Adorama store sells these products with different name, it calls Flashpoint and BHphotvideo sells with this name Godox X3. my question is , i have two flashpoint lights from Adorama one of them is godox AD200 PRO which in my case calls Flashpoint eVOLV 200 PRO AND Godox AD400 again in my case Flashpoint XPLOR 400 PRO. i bought from BH godox x3 trigger so i am curious will it work without any problem with Flashpoint lights which are basically the same product but branding standpoint different name
