Godox XProS TTL Wireless Flash Trigger for Sony
Cameras

The XProS TTL Wireless Flash Trigger uses the 2.4 GHz Godox X wireless radio system to consistently and effectively trigger flashes from up to 328′ away. When used with compatible flashes and receivers, users also have access to remote power control. With support for high-speed sync up to 1/8000 second and compatibility with Sony’s ADI / P-TTL system, this model provides extensive control options as well as settings for using system-specific features. Users can set up 16 groups on one of 32 channels to ensure optimum control and reliability. They can then access 99 wireless ID settings to reduce interference from other devices in the area.

Other options, such as stroboscopic flash and second-curtain sync, are available in addition to the fundamental manual and TTL control modes. Users can wirelessly change the modeling light, magnification setting, and more in addition to changing the flash exposure correction from -3 to +3 EV. There is a 2.5mm sync port on the XProS that permits wired triggering when used with other camera systems. The gadgets run on two AA batteries for convenience, and there is a USB Type-C connector for firmware upgrades.

FAQs

Describe a TTL flash.****

Before the flash actually fires, TTL flash uses a succession of infrared flash bursts. The camera receives this flash data and uses it to modify the flash power to create what it perceives to be a well-balanced photo. In actuality, this works rather effectively, but the results are frequently less than ideal.

Can a Godox trigger be used with a Canon flash?****

Product details. In addition to controlling flashes with a built-in Godox wireless X system, such as camera flashes, outdoor flashes, and studio flashes, the Xpro-C TTL Wireless Flash Trigger can also operate Canon original flashes when used in conjunction with the X1R-C receiver.

When ought I to employ TTL mode?****

When the distance between the flash and the subject quickly changes, TTL flash is fantastic. As your subjects approach you while you are shooting a wedding processional in manual flash mode, the lighting will vary.

TTL flash—does it function in manual mode?****

Using full manual or semi-automatic mode has no effect on how TTL flash operates.

How can my Godox flash be reset?****

To restore the default settings, press the “MENU” button, type C. Fn custom functions, and then choose RESET.

What distinguishes the Godox X1T and X2T?****

The X2T has several design cues with the X1T, including a pass-through feature that lets you fasten a flashgun to the top. The X2T improves upon the X1T in a few good ways. The controls have also been significantly rearranged, and the display is a little bit bigger.

How do I use another flash to trigger my own?****

An optional attachment, the optical slave trigger, which triggers the flash in sync when the light from another manual flash is detected, can be attached to the flash’s PC sync connector or it may fit the flash shoe foot. To trigger them, another Manual mode flash must be activated in some other manner.

Will yongnuo and Godox collaborate?****

It won’t work if you try to use a Godox X2T transmitter to radio-control a Yongnuo YN685. They communicate using various “languages” that are incomprehensible to one another.

Do Godox and Flashpoint integrate well?****

This implies that you can use the R2 smart trigger to control any combination of their lights. Also worth noting is that Godox-branded goods are precisely the same as Flashpoint-branded goods, albeit without Adorama’s product assistance.

In what ways do wireless flash triggers operate?****

With the use of wireless flash triggers, your camera may interact with a flash without being physically connected to it. This enables the flash to fire just in time for the picture. A transmitter mounted on the camera and a receiver mounted on the flash are the typical components of wireless flash triggers.

Why doesn’t my flash trigger function?****

The most frequent reason for flash equipment to stop operating unexpectedly is the trigger not being fully inserted in the hot shoe. Therefore, make sure this is the case. Setting the camera shutter speed higher than the camera’s maximum sync speed is a second frequent reason why the flash does not fire.

What is a flash trigger used for?****

A flash trigger is a tool that enables you to activate an external strobe without the need of a camera flash or an electrical signal by using its own light source.

Are multiple flashes compatible with TTL?****

If the three flashes are not in the same group, they pre-flash one at a time, calculating the power required for each flash separately. The system does make global modifications to all of the flashes at once if they are all part of the same group.

TTL: Does it function off camera?****

Two things exist that you might not be aware of: That many DSLR-speedlight combinations have built-in through-the-lens (TTL) metering capabilities for wireless off-camera flash without any additional hardware. Your photography can reach a completely new level in terms of quality and creative potential by using off-camera flash.

What happens if the shutter speed and flash are not properly synced?****

The shutter of the camera must synchronize with the flash in order for the flash to fire at the same time as the image is being shot. Sync is the abbreviation for synchronization.
