Godox X2T Radio Controller -- Complete Walkthrough

[@paulamorris07]

This is a really, really well made tutorial. Calm, so my brain can take in the info instead of constantly getting distracted with special effects or someone yelling at me, cohesive, well lit, great audio, well articulated. Just had to say something because it's such a jewel among all the KZbin noise.

[@Strobepro]

Thanks Paula,

[@harrypawel221]

I Agree.. 5 star job

[@roninapparition1014]

That’s so true. A lot of KZbinrs are a bit too excited, extra and just speeding through everything with an over reliance on cuts and background music. This video is how a tutorial is done.

Absolutely the best tutorial for using the Godox X2T trigger!!! I recently upgraded from the X1 to the X2T and I am very pleased with this upgrade, except for the abysmal user guide provided. (similar to Good user guides for its flashes...useless and unintelligible) Fortunately for us, Jessie came to the rescue and showed all the ins and outs of this handy and inexpensive device. I have the iPhone 13, unfortunately, the new app version doesn't have all the features the older version had.

[@liamhadtogo1993]

This was incredibly useful, and will undoubtedly shorten the learning curve as I learn to use new equipment/techniques. Great to see something so well put together coming from Calgary!

[@kevinlane2365]

Excellent tutorial. You have helped me in a great way with the clear and uncomplicated demonstration. Thank you.

[@bemotionriitta]

I have to say that your channel is the absolutely BEST with Godox products!

[@Strobepro]

Thank you so much!

[@retiredguyadventures6211]

Wow what a great video! I am a complete newb at modern off camera flash and just bought the Godox tt685c and the X2T Controller to go with my Canon T7i camera I bought a few years ago. A little overkill for a newb but wanted something I could grow into. This is by far the most comprehensive tutorial on this flash that I have seen online so far. Everyone else just blasts through their videos to either just get it done and posted or they are geared for people that already know how to do this. I was literally doing off camera flash within minutes as I followed along with your video. Unfortunately my old Galaxy S5 is not supported by the app but I have a ton to learn before I get another phone. Thank you very much!

[@ajayparelkar]

Thanks for this excellent and informative tutorial. Literally covered every aspect of the trigger. This is a most comprehensive tutorial on this trigger that I have seen online so far. No one can go wrong with the trigger after watching this video

[@rodolfobelmar4797]

Very complete and pro tutorial, thank you very much, there is no waste on the 36 min. of video

[@waynethornton2174]

Thank you. Very comprehensive. So nice that people take the time and effort to help. If using manual camera settings, it's a relief that you can control flash output in decimals rather than fractionally. So much simpler if you're a noob like me. Selecting +3 on the contrast is a big screen improvement imo.

[@raycarroll4182]

I agree with Paula Morris 100%. One of the very best tutorials.

[@ritchieelder5651]

Thanks so much. I just ordered a TT600 and XPro-C. For someone who is new to flash these videos make it so much easier to understand.

[@ronstar7027]

Good video. On thing I will mention. ID does not "add channels". It adds a code to the transmitted signal, which is decoded in the receivers, and, when enabled on RX and TX, flash requires it in the received signal in order to fire. This is to eliminate firing from other transmitters' spurious signals, or, worse, other transmitters on the same channel. It has been around as "PL" (personal line) in VHF/UHF communications for decades.

[@lenl2514]

This is the clearest way to learn this controller! I was struggling to set up 3 flashes- this made it easy!

[@debbieshriner1308]

Thank you this was just the best I had watched so many KZbins and never understand.. Glad I found you on here.

[@jacobuswoolfeart]

just got mine! the connection to the lights and camera was super easy. thanks for this

[@joanmallett48]

Really good explanation of the Godox XT2 controller, easy to understand

[@Synchrodipity]

Much more useful than reading the instructions -- thank you!

Got stuck in the multi-verse mode and had to do a whole shoot struggling! Wish I found your video sooner!

[@Haironshow]

Such an awesome tutorial !!!! Thank you..Thank you..Thank you !! I am an absolute beginner and I bought this with the TT600 flash, and didn't have a clue how to operate the controller and the flash and what these options are all about. Now my controller, godox app and flash are all set

[@smendesmusic]

Does this X2T work with the Godox TT600 wirelessly on Panasonic cameras like GH5?

[@jimwlouavl]

Very helpful. I watched this instead of reading the manual.

[@jeremyrundle5686]

AT LAST, a PROFESSIONAL, easy to understand NO BLOODY music background video, SUPERB especially for Autistic people like me. Thank you, well done. A few years back I had Flex TT5s etc, I sold as they were rarely used. I bought three of these, being Autistic I am unable to read (concentrate, I am not stupid) this video was SUPERB sitting there WITH the units and following a PROFESSIONAL KZbin maker, I just wish you showed how to update the firmware.

Thank you for taking the time to put this together and sharing it, it helps immensely! I looked at the manual and my head started spinning.. :D

[@camera55mauromachado23]

Thank you, the best explanation I've seen on youtube.

[@DonPastor1]

The best tutorial video I've seen. Can I mount and use a Neewer Camera Wireless Timer Remote NW-870 on top of the Godox X2T Radio Controller, can the Godox x2T handle what I need.

[@Strobepro]

Hi Don, If you're looking to trigger another camera at the same time, you may encounter slight sync issues, but the X2T can definitely fire your remote when you have the PC setting set to "Out."

[@Strobepro]

Hi Don, Edit to my last response: I'm not sure your remote shutter release actually has a sync input. It would require one if I understood your question correctly, so just double-check.

[@RBespoir]

Quite a good run through. Might I suggest you add the word, APP to your title. I’m not planning on using the app since I have the trigger.

[@Strobepro]

Hi Richard, A trigger is actually still required to use the app, so it's not so much an alternative as it is an additional option. Hope you didn't find that section too distracting!

[@arthurhughes42]

Enjoyed your video and purchased the Olympus version from Amazon. Tried it off camera and under iPhone control and very impressed, however when I tried to put it on my Lumix G9 it was far too tight and I risked damaging the trigger or the camera. UPDATE I saw some small black marks on the camera hot shoe and decided to carefully scrape the off. In doing so I dislodged a thin shim and the trigger now fits easily. I think the shim is to hold the black plastic hot shoe blank in place.

[@VanIsleNuckFan]

How do you use the thru top mount hot shoe??

[@JochenVoigts]

Thank you for the super tutorial! I have one (little supid) question: if the X2T is on my camera, can I still controll the lighting adjustments via the app? It sure seems obvious but you didn't used it that way in the video.

[@Strobepro]

Hi Jochen, You will actually require the controller to be on your camera. The app is pushing the settings to your controller, which is responsible for triggering your lights. Hope that makes sense! Here's a bit of a long side note that you never asked for, but I think it's useful to know: There is an "APP" mode under the "SHOOT" function in your controller's menu. Counterintuitively, you will generally not want to have this enabled when using the app. The "APP" mode turns your controller into a dummy trigger that will trigger everything on the channel without updating power settings. It is useful whenever you need to run more than one trigger (say a 2nd trigger on a secondary camera body) since Bluetooth can only pair with one device at a time. Your primary trigger will still need to be paired with the app and outside of "APP" mode in order to send power settings to your lights.

[@JochenVoigts]

[@angelisone]

Just $375.00 for the modification from ATG, my unit is now compatible TTL/TCM with ATG/Profoto/Interfit lights. When you first think it is high but ATG stated it can do much more than Profoto TTL transmitter. So an extra $375 was worth it. FYI ATG/Godox disabled the TCM & also from becoming a transceiver.
