How to sync the Godox X2T trigger with the TT685 flash 

Thank you. Minute ago I give up and decided to work without trigger. Brief and clear explanation save my day.

Videos aren’t your forte? You should make MORE videos. 😊 You get to the point in a useful, concise way. Thanks for this, and very well done!

OMG... From Perú, Big THANKS!! I spend almost 24h Whatching tutorials and no one repair on that litlle step, really, you Rock!! I was about to return my New godox equipment

Thanks for the tip. I couldn't find the ID setting in the menu system. After searching the internet I had found that I needed to update the firmware of my TT685s from 2.0 to 2.1. In this update the ID setting in the menu is added.

Thank you Rachel!!!! Wasted hours reviewing videos and docs and not a single one mentioned or emphasized the ID point. I was about to return the trigger and then saw your post. I did it and it worked!!

Thank you!! Just wasted a bunch of time and couldn’t get it to work. Found your video, which was clear, crisp, and successful!

You have no idea how thankful I am ! Stay Blessed ♥️

As previously commented on, the explanation given in this video is clear and concise. In addition, a recent video, #godox #godoxxtrigger #hyop tiled “Godox X1T vs Xpro vs X2T wireless flash X trigger range comparison” compares all the current Godox triggers, which do not all have the same features. The referenced video also mentions which triggers have the wireless ID setting feature that are addressed by Rachel in the above video. When I shoot an event I have used all 3 types of these triggers and have wondered why some of the flashes worked and some did not which led me to use the slave mode for line of sight units to get all the flashes flashes working (which can also create other issues). Gosh who would have thought - it is just a flash trigger?

Oh my goodness! All the while I was puzzled as to why my Godox wasn't connecting and it turned out it was the ID setting. After turning it off, the channels work perfectly. Thank you so much!

Thank you for informing me that multiple flashes must have the same ID as part of the Sync process! Excellent and informative video lesson.

Thank you so much! I searched everywhere and now it's working! Amazing! :-D Best RU-vid video!

Thanks Rachel, saved me a lot of time! Following you.

Thank you so much - just wasted 2 hours trying to sync them and missed the ID!!!! you are a godsend!

Rachel: OMG Thank You, Thank You. I have Google searched, RU-vid searched in attempt to find solution as to why I could not link and you solved my frustration ARGHHH! problem with your short 1 sec. reveal. I am new to flash and am truly appreciative to your having posted how you overcame the problem. Thanks again from Canada... ~ Jack

You rock, others just spoke gibberish, but my favorite was Godox’s video in Chinese with english.subtitles.... WTF? You got to the point and gave the critical information that was not intuitive that made it work. I own a ton of Godox equipment and this is the first time I have encountered this way of setting transmitters/flashes/strobes. Many thanks!

This is quite possibly the best piece of information on this subject you can get on this platform. Thank you

You are a godsend. Just unboxed the same gear and had no clue where to start. Didn’t even occur to set the IDs nor long-press the buttons. Thank you :D

Thank you very much. I was pulling my hair out with all the settings but the one I needed to get the flash was your mention to make the flash the slave, WHICH in hind sight makes all the sense in the world. Thank you very much. You put all those egg heads to shame!

Omg that actually worked. I never even knew this menu existed. I'm questioning how I even got this working before in the first place now

Thank you very much Mrs. Lambert.

I wish I could kiss you right now. I even bought a new Godox TT685 thinking there was something wrong with my mine. You are a life save

omg .. zillion thanks u saved my day, GBU

exactly what I was looking for thank you!

OH MY GOD!!. YOU ARE HEAVEN SENT. THANK YOU SOOOOOO VERY MUCH

Thank you Thank you, it work out perfectly in a couple of minutes...and you explain it so fast directly to the point, well appreciated...

Thank you!!!!!! 2 hours trying to sync my flashes. I hadn't the correct ID in one of my flashes!

i always come back here . For this.

Bless you for that, love your super natural delivery! Keep it up, let’s see more Rachel!

Thank-you had the same problem. You are right no one mentions this. Very Very helpful!!!!

Thanks Rachel that was really helpful. I note that my TT685 always defaults to GROUP A when switching between modes...

GREAT ! I finally found out why the trigger didn't work ! THANK YOU !

Thank you so much. I was struggling whole day. Till I came upon this.

muchas gracias por el video, tenía toda la noche tratando de ver como funcionaba y me salvaste la vida con este video, saludos desde costa rica!

Rachel, thanks a lot for this video. I was struggling to pari them up going through the groups and channels.

Oh my GOD!! Thank you so much!! It's my first ever Flash + Trigger, and I spent an hour messing around with the settings. I kinda gave up and came across this video! I can't thank you enough!! Hi from Singapore ^^

Mine wouldn’t sync without setting an ID either, although other You-tubers said you don’t need to set an ID unless shooting with a group of other photographers. Thanks!

Thank you! Thank you!

Thankssss. You are a angel.... I spent hours trying to sync the flash.

OMG I've been trying to figure this out for weeks!! Thank you so much, I spent hours watching videos and couldn't figure out what was wrong with my flashes. Hope you have a lovely day!!

You are a life saver! Exactly what I was missing! Thank you thank you!

you are my life saver

Thank you thank you thank you.... I was missing the ID.

thankyou sooooo muchh u saved me

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!!

Thank you very very much!

Omg ur awesome and rlly helpfull ty ty ty

Thank you very much!

Thank you so much!!

hello sony a9 with godox 685 does not give infra red light, does it combine with godox x2t trigger throws infra red light

Fantastic!

Well if you set ID to OFF in the menu of the X2T it will also work at least for SONY (letter S on both X2T and TT685) , what needs to be done is to set the channel identical on both items , set the flash to slave and M for group A , set the X2T group A to M also . It took me half day too !

Please I am having issue in connecting my V1 godox flash and TT520ii godox flash.. am using X2t trigger..

Omg you're a life saver. Thank you.

Thank u so much 🌹❤️

Thank you, saved my night!
