The second trigger Godox released was the XPro. If you don’t need of big screen with large text or lots of buttons, or if you’re on a tight budget, the X1T is the trigger for you. This is all of course reflected in the price. It has few buttons and a small screen, but does allow you to add a hotshoe flashgun on top of the trigger while it’s in use on your camera. The Godox X1T is the first trigger of this set to be released, and is the most basic in terms of design. They all take 2x AA batteries and all connect to the camera using either the hotshoe or via sync cable.
They all allow you to adjust (for Godox and Lencarta flashes) the power settings, modelling lamp, modes, rear-curtain sync, flash exposure lock, focus assist, and zoom settings. They all have 32 channels, 5 groups and 0-100m range. They all allow the use of HSS and TTL when used with compatible flashes. The design and interfaces change, but the base features are available on each camera. The 3 triggers all have essentially the same features. This means that everything needs to be inline – the camera, the trigger, the receiver, and the flash. Each camera brand has slightly different set of protocols to activate HSS and TLL from camera to flash. Where it does matter is when they’re used for HSS or TTL.
If you’re only looking to use these triggers with a manual flash, the camera type doesn’t really matter. Where do the camera types come into play? Why does there need to be different versions for Canon, Nikon, Sony, Olympus, Fuji, and Pentax? This allows you to connect the triggers to almost any flash, whether it be a Nikon SB900, a Canon 580EX, a Bowens monoblock, or any other flash with a sync port. The X1R is available in Canon, Nikon, and Sony and can be connected with either b hotshoe for flashguns, or via the sync port for everything else. Godox have kindly released a plug in receiver, the X1R. However, you don’t need to have a Godox or Lencarta flash to use the Godox X triggers. All 3 triggers are available for Canon, Nikon, Sony, Olympus/Panasonic, and Fujifilm.
Our own Lencarta SmartFlash 4 and SuperFast Pro also have the exact same built-in 2.4Ghz receiver allowing you to seamlessly connect our equipment with Godox’s.
This is because all of Godox’s newer flashes have a built-in 2.4Ghz receiver. We’ll also touch on the X1R Receiver and where that fits into the mix.Īll 3 of these triggers will connect directly to any of Godox’s latest flashes including the AD series, V1, V860II, and many more. We’ll be looking at the differences between the X1T, X2T, and XPro Triggers. Today we’re going to talk about the Godox X systems. Triggers come in all shapes and sizes and have different features to offer. K-5ii etc) and started looking around.There are so many triggering options available out there and it can be difficult to choose which triggers to go for. I am an ex-Pentaxian and I had the FA limiteds etc but got bored of bulky bodies (e.g. The road to recovery begins with acceptance that the Fuji is a highly addictive drug!Įither the X-pro1+27/18/35 or the original X100 could convert you for cheap. If you might want to add a lens or two more in the future, then get the X-E2 and XF 27/2.8 R. It's a pleasure to use, and it provides ample IQ for most situations. If you're good with a fixed, 35mm equivalent lens, then get the X100S. I've owned the X Pro-1, and currently own the X100S and X-E2. Tried both and I have to recommend Fuji X100S over X-Pro1. +1 for X-E2 (and 27 pancake) as I have other Fuji lenses, this makes more sense than the X-100s (which I also had at one point). X100 for the built in ND-filter (for landscapes) and f/2 (for low light + selfies!)
That was my gateway drug which led to a full on, down hill slide to Fuji addiction. And it's about the same weight as the X-Pro1 body only.ĭon't forget the X-E2. I'm not sure about the image quality, but in the hand the x100s feels much smaller then the X-Pro1. I have the XPro 2 and now the X100F and love them both.but for hiking I'd take the X100 every time. Since you're not planning on ditching the d300, I would recommend the X100s, or even better, the X100T if you can find a good used one. I look forward to hearing your thoughts and don't be shy on any offers should you have one to sell lol The Xpro1 however, is a very nice camera and as far as I can tell is just a 100 with removable lenses. I really like the 100 as it's not going to cross over and make my d300s redundant. I am looking at either the X100s or the Xpro1 with the 27mm prime as they are within my price range and I shoot primes 80% of the time. I am soon to be heading out on a very long hiking trip and need a camera with good quality but small form factor and weight. I am an avid Nikon Guy having come from Pentax prior though I do see the benefits of Fujifilm.
