Using the Godox TT350f as master or slave flash

[@lightroomblog]

Next in the series will be a look at using the Godox TT350F as a TTL master and slave. Any other things you'd like me to look at?

[@evertondel]

Thank you, thank you, thank you, it's been doing my head in trying to get it to sync with the Xpro Trigger, two minutes into this video and it all works.

[@mshea5906]

After watching 10 videos on the Godox system YOURS did the best in fully explaining everything.

[@TonyLawlorBWM]

Hi Sean. A brilliant explanation. Thank you. More power to the bumblers.

[@lightroomblog]

Thanks tony

[@chrisbaudeg3233]

You need to differentiate between the Channel and the Group purposes and explain first how the units talk to each other. [A] [B] [C] are not channels they are Groups within the selected channels. There are only 3 Groups and 16 channels or 16 digital radio frequencies. What does that mean. You could have 16 photographers all in the same space, all working independently, as long as each photographer is on their unique channel/frequency. Each using their own 'Group' of flashes - taht will respond ONLY to that assigned Channel/frequency. Channel is the digital radio frequency you assign to the trigger AND flash units so they can all talk to each other. Groups are the flashes and triggers working on that chanel or digital frequency. Hence you could be on chanel or frequency 13, and within that frequency you have groups of flashes, named A B or C. Once you select your operating Chanel/Frequency, say 13, and group A. Only the slaves on frequency 13 will respond that are in Group A. We have a nomenclature issue. First you need to define the names and functions and the rules.

What a wonderfully charismatic and effortlessly confusing video!. I'm sure most people like the out of focus close up shots and the consistent renaming of 'group' to 'channel' - giving two different types of 'channel' - is well understood by everybody else except me. That caused me to question if the reference to 'group' in the TT350F 'manual' (hah!) is a typo. or not. Sadly, I couldn't follow what was going on in the shot (at about 3:38 to 3:40) in which the TTL350 was communicating with a flash from another manufacturer in the background.. My poor eyesight did permit me to handle the unique choice of focus setting that was employed. I confess that I somewhat lost concentration at that point. Over all, I will be sure to give the subscribe button the attention it deserves ....

[@lightroomblog]

The other flash is a Godox Wistro AD360. Not another manufacturer. I had shown first the master flash changing, and then chose to show the slave flash responding. As it's a standard recording technique, and there's no good way in this situation to have both in focus, that's the best that can be done.

[@simonbrooksstoryteller]

Been playing with my flash (the same as here) and had an idea of what I was doing, but this video (thanks so much) showed me for real what I could and how to do it properly! Cheers, mate. Checking out Julia's website!

[@donmiko345]

Thanks for this video, it's way easier to understand then the instruction manual :)

[@edgarflores9031]

Thank you! This video has helped me a lot on understanding this flash... now I have 2

Wednesday, May 12, 2021, 6:20 p.m. Hi Sean this video may be old (2017) but the information was exactly what I was looking for. I had bought a Godox TT350F last year and was just starting to use it with my Fuji X-T3. I could not get the compensation data (+0.3, -0.5 EV) to pop up. You solved my problem as I viewed the video. Thanks a lot for posting the KZbin. "Hope those CUSTOMS" folks are treating you better these Covid-19 days, Sean!"

[@lightroomblog]

Cheers Don.. I really need to do more with these little wonders as the videos are still popular. Maybe when my new pup settles, I might do some pet stuff!

[@TonghoPhotography]

Most helpful. Saved me a lot of time reading the manual :)

[@hepgeoff]

Great video. I just bought this flash for my X-T2.

[@lightroomblog]

Did a quick off camera look with an umbrella with it.. hopefully the video worked out and I'll get it up next week!

[@lalljp]

Thanks, this helped because Godox doesn't provide instructions on their website

[@smalltalk.productions9977]

really helpful. thanks for the effort and the sharing. thumbs up.

Nice informative video thank you very much !!!

Great video - helped me get my 2 TT-350 flashes setup in Master/Slave in about 5 minutes. Very helpful!

[@enricoperini6479]

OMG THANKS, FINALLY

[@wouterslagter9946]

Why not using a good light meter ?

[@LesiureBoy]

Can you use the TT350 as trigger and flash at the same time?

[@mdees88]

4 years later.... yes

[@LUMETRY]

hi i cant adjust the zoom fonction any idea? still stay on 14mm

[@lauralgingerich5945]

THANKS!!

[@himbeervideo]

nice video! Do you know if i can use the Godox TT350F as a master (from my XT3) to trigger my TT685iiS? Thank you!

[@lightroomblog]

In theory, you should be able to trigger any Godox flash from it, but without actually doing it, I've no way to confirm.

[@AmitRana-oq7ex]

I am not able to switch back to [M] Master control of flash after pairing once, turning the dial and the Grroup button is default to [A] [B] and [C]. therefore not able to turn the master flash off.

[@lightroomblog]

You press the Slave button to cycle through controlling [M] [A] [B] and [C].

[@robertnelson9621]

I have the 350o for MFT. In TTL mode, I see 'M'. I cannot use it as regular flash with my camera. How can I change to AU in TTL mode?

[@lightroomblog]

this is covered around the 2:50 mark kzbin.info/www/bejne/qnPNZWqVbcicb7c

[@FacesByMay]

How do you reset the flash or remove the sync

[@simonlightfoot6585]

Is the tt350f compatible with the fuji x t5. Thanks.

[@lightroomblog]

Just tested there and it's working for me. Ceiling bounce TTL works also, along with master control.

[@agen7_smith]

I use TT350F as master on my Fuji X-T20 and V850 II as slave. Flash wont trigger over 1/180 SS. On both flashes HSS is enabled. Its working fine with 1/180 or slower SS.

[@lightroomblog]

The X1T-F got a firmware update that allows the V850II to do HSS. The TT350-F didn't get that in a firmware update, so can't do HSS. I was caught with that myself when I forgot the X1T-f and had to use the TT350f as a trigger. Wasn't happy. Wrote a grumpy email to Godox support. You should do the same. The more that complain, the better the chance we have of getting it.

[@agen7_smith]

@@lightroomblog Godox support: "Dear ********* Thank you for your mail. about the problem, TT350 series of products, only for the same series of products can be used, can not use V series of products on the main control slave function. Hope this will help you"

Dear Godox, That was no help at all.

[@lightroomblog]

That's better. Hopefully they can move along with it. Like I've said, I do use the X1T generally, but I'd really like to know that TT350F is there as the perfect replacement should I need. I'd rather not have it hampered by lack of HSS.

[@acneubauer]

Whats the difference between ( above on the menu ) Channel A B C and ( below on the menu ) Channel 1-8 ?

[@lightroomblog]

There are 16 channels on the bottom, this allow up to 16 different sets of lights to operate separately. A,B C ( and M for the master flash if you're using one) are groups on the channel. This means you can control 3 different flashes (or groups of flashes, hence the name) on that one channel. By way of example, I could have 3 flashes sent to Channel 2. Group A could be my key light set at 1/4 power. Group B could be my background and set to 1/2 power. Group C could be a hair light at 1/16 power. When I fire my trigger (which is also set to channel 2), all three flashes fire. Let's say there was a 4th flash on Channel 1 and set to 1/1 power. What would happen to it when I fire my trigger? Nothing, because it's not set to the right channel.

[@sun9woo]

Can you control other slave strobe lights such as Fomex d400 with Godox TT350... by putting receivers on each strobe lights?Thanks

[@lightroomblog]

I haven't tried them, but there are some X1R receivers out there that should do it.

[@rudraprasadsaha4270]

can i turn on the flash as fill flash while using it as trigger in master mode?So that it will work as a flash as well as trigger the other flash

[@lightroomblog]

Sure. That's the M channel on the master flash. Normally you want that off, but for your needs, turn it on.

[@elmakassary]

When mode MASTER, flash still flasing Light?

[@lightroomblog]

Press Slave until you see M on the top left (it goes A-B-C-M) then press Mode until you see the no flash symbol.

[@johncantrell614]

So this little flash cannot fire a tt600 in the high speed sync mode in bright conditions?

[@lightroomblog]

I’m not sure you are asking? It’s acts as a radio trigger so the light won’t affect that. The TT600 would probably struggle to have enough power with HSS in bright light. Personally I use the Godox AD 600BM for HSS in outdoor sun when using modifiers.

[@johncantrell614]

@@lightroomblog what I was asking was that I know that you can use a tt350 to fire a tt600 as a trigger in normal flash sync settings, but in the instances that you might need to use the tt600 in high speed sync, can the tt350 trigger it in high speed sync? When the 600 is close enough, then it works well in most bright situations when you do not want to overexpose the background outdoors and may have to set the shutter speed above the normal sync speed of your camera. The little tt350 would be a great little flash to carry on the camera, because it can be used as an on camera ttl flash, and the tt600 cannot, but it makes a great remote flash. So just trying to see if it can trigger it in HSS. Thanks.

[@RB-kg3ru]

So you basically need TWO. To be able to use it wirelessly

[@lightroomblog]

No, you can use a trigger and one flash. There always has to be communication between the camera and the flash.

[@markus8282]

I know, it´s now over 1 year, but is there any possibility to trigger this one with a camera pop up flash? In the manual it says it´s possible with "S1 and S2 mode", but I could not manage to access these modes. Thanks.

[@lightroomblog]

Hi @Markus, there is indeed. You need to make sure radio sync is OFF. Then switch the mode to M for manual.. Press Slave to toggle between Off, S1 and S2. I tried for ages with sync on, and of course it doesn't work that way. Doh... anyhow.

[@lightroomblog]

Also S1 is if the triggering flash is manual, S2 is if it's TTL

[@bhara329]

So is it possible to use tt350 as a trigger with flash off to activate other flash as a slave?

[@lightroomblog]

That's shown in the video. When you switch the TT350 to Master mode, the flash is off by default, and it acts as a trigger only. It's the M channel (rather than the A,B or C channel).

[@phlotographer]

too bad no replies as this is a question I also have. Would be nice to have this option as it would allow one to simply purchase two flashes and then when needed, use the one on the camera to trigger another flash but then also be able to quickly add on camera fill flash when also required. If anyone knows the answer it would be good to see a response.TIA

[@joetopping6269]

I'm planning to buy a couple of these, i'll let you know!

[@mdees88]

@@phlotographer This is literally what the entire video is about. He is using the flash as a trigger, without it making a flash.

How can I change the zoom? Thanks

Hii.. nice video..! I am using nikon D7100 , I recently ordered tt350. I would like to know how to trigger tt350 using my nikon d7100 in built flash.. thanks in advance

[@lightroomblog]

No, you need a trigger like the X1T-N

[@jackyyao8231]

why not tt860?

[@lightroomblog]

Honestly because it looks stupid on a Fuji, as well as being top heavy. The TT350 balances nicely. The point of the video is showing the extended uses based on this reason for buying. It also fits easily in my Megagear bag with a camera and 2-3 lenses.

[@jackyyao8231]

@@lightroomblog but it seems 350 power is a little bit weak if press background light outside ?and Recycling time slow.

[@lightroomblog]

@@jackyyao8231 It's got a GN of 42 vs the 60 of the tt860/V860, so about 1/2 stop less. The 860 outdoors is not gonna do much either. I'm using the AD600BM's outside for enough power to overcome midday sun when using modifiers.

[@davidshowers7508]

Great video I do appreciate all the steps that you took. But this shit still does not work and yes I have both the t350 V 50 x1r what in the fuc.

Tested the Pixipro version of the V850II just now and it definitely controlling the power levels and trigger. Not sure what's going that it's not.
