This is definitely the best tutorial I have seen for the X2T, great!

[@justinwaldman3716]

I cannot believe just how simple this system is - with this video guide. Excellent. Thanks.

[@dereksmom99]

Thank you for a thorough description without a lot of unnecessary commentary!

[@BooLee01]

Talk about perfect timing. I was sitting here looking at my XProii trigger and wondering why my fully charged Eneloops were only showing one bar. This video began playing automatically after another one I was watching finished and you explained to me exactly why my trigger was not showing fully charged batteries. Thank you!

[@AnthonyBonillaPR]

Two thumbs up! I save your videos for quick reference as they explain the settings very simply. Thanks.

Thanks for vid

[@MDMiller60]

Very comprehensive and clear. Thanks for making it. I am trying to find out exactly what I need to operate from an Olympus E-M1 Mark III and I see that this trigger has an "O" version. But, I need to operate Nikon flashes and one Phottix Mitros+ flash "For Nikon". I need power control and HSS setting from the trigger, on the camera. I will need to know compatibility. I went to your channel page and didn't see the compatibility list you mentioned.

Thanks!

[@sidersproductions941]

Sir this video has helped me tremendously. I just bought the AD200 Pro and couldn’t get the X2T to sync with it. Turns out all I had to do was turn off the ID feature and it synced right away. Thank you!

[@williamjudd3834]

how do you turn off the ID feature?

[@philmontphotography5264]

Omg your comment helped me more than this video. Thank you. I was getting over explanations about basic stuff (like how to tighten the flash on a stand) when all I really needed was the how to of connecting the trigger to the flashpoint. It was turning off the ID feature too. Thank you so much!

[@martindennis9531]

Excellent summary of the trigger! Do you know if there's a way to vary the output of the modeling lights. My AD200s have 3 levels but when using the X2T it overrides and turns them either to high or off but no in between.

[@mavrik1964]

Thank you, great tutorials. Would you please let us know how to use this as a trigger or a slave for a speed lite along with Godox R2 Pro ii as the master on Camera/

Great video! I have this X2-T unit - sometimes when I attached to the hotshot, and try to use with attached flash and also slaves, the display goes blank and the unit doesn't fire? It works perfectly fine when not flash is attached. Have you ever experienced this?

[@thepicturegraphy1923]

Thank you so much! But i have a quick question How to enable high speed sync on the sony a7riii?

[@leemurray3188]

Thanks

[@saskelee]

Wished your had spent a little more time in the ID function. I had two ad200s using same channel and group but only one was going off and I found that strange but based on your video it may have been the ID function shift

[@shner770]

תודה

[@claudeIsbell]

You doe a good video. Maybe I can ask you a question. Does the r2-t have to be on the camera to fire the flash? Asking because my previous set up allowed me to walk to the subject with transmitter in hand to use a light meter on flash. Also, I have tried everything I've read, but can't seem to reset the trigger to factory settings. Any help is appreciated.

[@grapefruitdream]

Incredible video man, just what I needed. It's impossible to find a digital manual for this thing. After watching though I'm hoping you can fill me in on what hypersync settings are? Is that like a hyper dialed in flash for some sort of cool/stylistic artistic purpose? Why would someone want to delay the flash?

[@robhallphoto]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/oKLUc5J7odGEnNk & kzbin.info/www/bejne/aYXPn5aCidBjoZo should clear it up!

[@gosman949]

I may be getting the Nikon Z6. With this trigger, can I use my Pentax V1 flash directly on top of this trigger? Will it be TTL then to the Nikon camera?

[@michaelfrymus]

I have a Sony with the AD200 and the XPro trigger. Looking for a way to use a tablet/phone with the strobes to change settings and fire the shots - this is for real estate shoots. Will I need to change my triggers to make it work properly to this setup perhaps?

[@nvrngh]

How do you enable FEB (Flash Bracketing) on the X2 to work with the AD200/AD200Pro?

[@mickygoz83]

Thx for this tutorial, i have flash V860III for sony and x2t triger when there are sycronise (pushin the flash test boton) but when i shoot photo the flash not flashin, why is that?

Will the Nikon SB-910 work in TTL when mounted on top of X2T nikon trigger?

[@Lucamitm]

Hi, I’m having issues with this controller and a godox v350, i have the channel, id and group, out of the blue the connection is lost like it simply stops working. Im taking macro shots so the flash is on a lightstand but close to me. You mentioned that if it’s too close it won’t work, so how exactly is that does it stops randomly ? Trying to figure out of that’s my problem. I do move it farther as a test but dont work. Idk. Thanks

[@danrouaphotography4270]

Hello. Do you now if you put a flash on the top hot shoe of this X2T it will take the “group A” settings of the X2T even it is not set to slave mode or it runs separately as a single unit? Second question is if a flash runing on the top hot shoe of this X2T fires if the X2T is turned off? Thank you!

[@Sarah-ii7vr]

My X2T mode option does not change to manual or ttl, only option is on and off with the godox sk400ii. Any ideas why this is?

[@JoseSorianoPhotography]

Hey thank you for your help!! I own the X pro and I'm trying to figure if there is a way to change power on the strobes directly without the trigger changing it back. I need it this way because many times when shooting products my camera is too high and I can't see the trigger. Thanks

[@robhallphoto]

you can put it in app mode. Then it only sends the fire signal and no power level information.

[@JoseSorianoPhotography]

@@robhallphoto thanks

[@brandylovell4678]

Great tutorial but my transmitter was working for mths then it just stopped communicating with my xplor300 pro ttl. I don't know what I did different. I tried a few things you suggested in this video but still nothing. So frustrating.

[@muddyrelic3009]

is there anyway to still use the distance meter while using this transmitter?

[@BrookviewLabs]

I have four AD200’s and the 2-XT2Pro Sony version. I cannot put xT2 in TTL mode on channel D or E with either of the XT2pros. Only manual or multi. Any help would be appreciated.

[@liebermanr]

I have had 3 Canon EXRT flashes for several years. I recently purchased 3 Flashpoint R2 round flashes and a trigger. Is there a way to get the Flashpoint flashes or the Flashpoint trigger to fire the Canon flashes? The ID function on the Canon is four digits and goes from 0000 to 9999. and the feature on the flashpoint goes from Off - 99. The channel selections on the Canons range from 1 to 15 whereas the Flashpoints range from 1 to 32. I hoped to use the three new flashpoints on Group A, B, C and then two of the Canons on D and E. Is this possible and if so, how do I need to configure this.?

[@LamNguyen-ov7no]

I bought this transmitter for Panasonic camera, however the lower hot shoe where is attached to the camera has multi pins contacts, except the hot shoe on top has on ly 1 pin contact. What is going on with this model? If it has no multi pins on the hot shoe, it will not has the TTL function if you attach a Panasonic flash on this hot shoe. The box of the unit did show it has multi pins, but the actual unit itself doesn't. Please explain...Thanks

[@ovidiugrovu3025]

I’ve just seen your review on X2T and I have two questions: 1 - Do you know how to set the on-board flash (the flash on top of the transmitter, I’m not an English speaker)? I couldn't find any information about it :( 2 - On the page 47 from the Manual they are saying about the TCM Function (Transform the TTL shooting value into the output value in the M mode). How to use/activate it? Thank you in advance, Robert :)

[@nneesstt90047]

did you find out how to do it?

[@ovidiugrovu3025]

@@nneesstt90047 No, unfortunately no. It is the reason why I asked the "influencers/reviewers"...

I purchased the x2t for that reason i think i might be returning it and get the xpro

[@ovidiugrovu3025]

@@nneesstt90047 Me neither. It is the most strange decision Godox have made: they came back to the flash shoe on top of the transmitter, but that flash is not communicating with the master :))

[@j.r.fernandez2453]

I have this trigger, the Nikon version, and although it worked flawlessly for two shoots with my D800 it is now intermittent with my D850 & D800. It simply won't work consistently. It'll fire for a few minutes then stop for another few minutes. I'm able to forcibly fire the flashes from the trigger, but not when I press the shutter. It's bizarre 🤯

[@xosemusic]

can you use Godox xpro transmitter with flashpoint evolv 200?

[@troylacour816]

How come I can't put this transmitter in ttl mode? I had it once but now it goes to manual or I get the dash line??? Mine is called the R2-T II from Flashpoint. Same as the Godax one.

[@mrbigg2u]

Hey mate. Just swapped my D850 for a GFX. I have bought a new Trigger, the X2TF. Positive start. But... I am trying to connect to my AD200, but it doesn't seem to link. I have made sure my X2TN is switched off.... I'm sure I'm being thick, but I am a bit stuck.... Any thoughts sir, nearly need to be able to swap systems easily if possible? Thx 👊

[@clydehamilton8138]

Hi Robert - thanks for the very helpful video. I have this transmitter but when I dial through the options available TTL isn't available. It only goes to M. I can get the transmitter to trigger the flash, but not in TTL. I'm sure I've missed something re: to setting it up, but have been unable to correct it. Would really appreciate it if you could point me in the right direction. Thanks in advance.

[@mynameisneb]

I'm having this same issue. Did you ever find a fix?

[@clydehamilton8138]

@@mynameisneb Haven't used the R2T in quite some time, but as I remember once you select the channel you plan to use (A thru E) press the Mode button until TTL appears. You may have to press it 2 or 3 times. Once TTL appears press Set to select it. I just tried it and that worked - hopefully that will solve the problem.

[@EricMuranoAU]

Ohhh we can change zoom remotely now!?

[@RCPilotHangar]

I not sure if mine is defective. When I hit the shutter button on my Sony A73 it changes my F Stop. This only happens with the X2 connected. My X1 doesn’t do this. Camera and X2 are in manual mode?

[@thenexthobby]

Mine has newer firmware, v1.4. The MILC vs DSLR choice is removed, and there’s a new screen that appears to be able to turn groups on-off without cycling thru modes (but requiring too many button pushes in just the right sequence.) This new screen does not turn off groups in my experience. It has what appears to be a limited power range for (something) that is adjustable without effect, including options to set ms and # of flashes, maybe for HSS but if so, that’s a secret. It’s a decent controller, however the 60 seconds before it goes to sleep comes WAY too early. The only way I could get the camera to fire the lights was to wake up the controller every time the 12-second backlight went out … not 60 seconds at all. I’ll try other settings I guess.

[@luistunonjr.304]

Robert is there a reason why they have not upgrades the firmware on this unit to include the TCM function? Seems to be the only thing missing to please everyone if that, apparently, is their goal.

[@robhallphoto]

Not sure, maybe it's just a Sony move, to withhold a feature to create a distinct purchasing advantage for another product.
