Why I Recommend the Godox TT350 & X1T ep.156 

Thanks

Excellent work Rob. I really appreciated the mental arithmetic that you did explaining the adjustments for the exposure compensation and manual flash settings. Thanks.

Hi Rob, good to see you making a video on Godox flash units. As I have been looking at these and your comments about them are good to hear.

Hi Rob, many thanks to you for these latest videos on flash! Previously I had never been a great fan of pop-up or off-camera flash, but many years ago used soft studio flash for product on medium format transparency film subsequently making prints via the Cibachrome process. Thanks to your tuition I now have had good results with both, even black backgrounds for some red and blue flowers with green stems! Again, your brilliantly delivered and highly informative tutorials have given me greater insight to my photography with the EM10mkII, I am truly grateful. Being amazed by your prowess with hss & ttl my Godox 350 with radio trigger arrived yesterday so I'm looking forward to further successes! All the best to you, another Rob

Terrific tutorial just great. Again I am very greatful for your efforts to explain how it's done. Thank you.

Rob, first…… I really appreciate the time you put into making your videos, secondly…… it’s great to have someone like you sharing knowledge. I recently got a similar setup (different name) Flashpoint zoom mini and the R2 radio transmitter for my Fuji X-T2 and it works just fine. Of course I don’t do anything professional, but for personal projects it’s more than enough. Again, thank you for all the tutorials.

Hi rob, today I have just got my own godox tt350o and a x1t trigger. It's for my Olympus omd10 mkiii. The instructions were ok... but following your vlogs about setting them up and using them was far easier. Many thanks, just thought you like to know how helpful you are. Keep up the good work. Thankyou peter.

Very nice tutorial Rob, and what a great portrait, fantastic lighting!

Excellent review and tutorial Rob...! Great combo. On the shopping list for sure.

Great tutorial and I love the popup that shows settings, thank you!

You make photography very approachable - thanks for sharing your knowledge!

Thanks for another nice demo. I will try these Godox flashes and the trigger you recommend a bit later this year. I have another project going at this time.

As always Rob, your videos are very informative and helpful. I've been looking to purchase a portable flash, and have recently purchased the Godox. :]

Really learning from you on flash photography. Thanks a lot for your efforts.

Excellent video as usual Rob. Thank you.

Hello Rob! Great video as usual, thanks!👍

Hi Rob, thanks for the info. Love the Godox flashes, I opted for the V860II-O and Xpro-O although larger I'm not concerned about the portability. The flash system works perfectly for my use in any situation that might arise, plus love the rechargeable battery. I'm an Olympus fanboy so keep up the great videos!

Great video Rob. I have ordered the Godox 350. The X1 I already have. The trigger I bought because I have a Gogox 660 for Sony. Now I can trigger the flashes with the X1. Great tip and I keep following you, my friend. Greetings from The Netherlands, Toine

Great review, I've been searching for videos showing a better way to describe it's actual size. When you put it in your shirt pocket that was the deal maker for me. I'm ordering it today.

Thanks! Your videos always hit the spot. Excellent point regarding the trigger with the pass-thru hot shoe -- that is THE reason it is my choice over the Pro trigger, too. I really love my Godox flashes and think they are an all around bargain.

Great video Rob. I’m thinking of getting a TT350 and using it for macro work. Love your videos. Thanks.

Great tutorial! Very informative, Thank you!

very very good video... exactly what I needed to know. Thank you

Nice video sir very informative. I already bought Godox TT350c with Godox X2T and both are working to my canon 1500D (no center pin) I like your light set up video. 📸❤️ 🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭

Great explanation 👍 Thanks

If you need 16 light set up, then you probably aren't you know watching this video anyway! Great point! Love the style of your videos!

Nice tutorial! I have something to add: You can mount a TT600 on the X1T and still use HSS. Put TT600 to HSS mode and turn off its radio (M mode), then switch to HSS on X1T (HSS on both devices). I do this because TT600 won't allow the camera to do HSS when it's mounted on the camera's hotshoe. Saves me from buying a TT685 or TT350!

you can also use the tt350 as your trigger (master mode) and then an ad100pro as your main light. space saving combo.

Excellent demo of flash. Thank you so much for a great explanation. When looking at flashes, did you ever look at Flashpoint? Have heard it is made by Godox but don't know that for sure.

nice video. I just got mine for a Sony a7c. I like it, but for some reason my zoom doesn't work any more when I press the button. And at the top right corner. There's an "M" in a square above my numbers, then the number 14mm in the upper right corner, and then "zoom" underneath that. When I hold the zoom button down, it just goes to my menu. WTF?

thank you for the tip on the X1T with that pass-through(?) hot shoe! i've been wondering if it's possible for an off camera flash and a secondary attached flash without it being an optical trigger. great video.

Thanks for another interesting video. I bought the V350 flash a little while ago and have been pondering the X1T or Xpro triggers. I think you've sold me on the X1T for the hot shoe facility. I have wondered if you mount the Godox flash on the camera, could you use the X1T as a receiver (rather than a trigger) to operate a remote manual flash? (Having just typed that I'm thinking why would I do that when I could just follow what you've shown in this video?)

If I want to use two flashes (Master flash on camera), I don't use the X1 transmitter (although I own both an X1 and Pro triggers). Instead, I control my second (off camera) flash using the transceiver built into my Godox/Flashpoint (I use both brands) in the on-camera flash.

Hi Rob! I love your channel and your videos! Excellent, to the point and very explaining! I have a question regarding Godox TT350o and Olympus if you can answer me please. The channel number (1 to 16) you can change when you press the SLAVE button does it has do anything with the channel number in Olympus? I mean when you set the RC mode to ON in Olympus and the press the OK button instead of Super Control Panel you get a menu regarding the flash groups. What I am trying to say is I wonder if it can function as an off-camera flash with RC mode ON and having the same channel number set in Olympus and in Godox. Although I have tried and changed channels and modes (TTL, M) I haven't any luck in getting the flash to fire.

Absolutely agree. I have this trigger with 2 TT350. Small, easy to set up and overall a great combo. My third flash is an old manual I use like you showed. All for about the price of a brand name large unit. Great video as usual.

nice one thanks

Thanx so much, very clear and inspirating ! I have an Olympus camera (pretty old, a E520), and I recentrly bought a godox tt350 and a x1t transmitter. But... will all of them work in hss ? And how ? Maybe turning ON the hss switch on the x1t is enough.... Do you have any suggestion ? Thanx in advance !

For an outdoor portrait flash with a softbox, how do you think a single TT350 work? Lens is 70-200/2.8.

I had to choose between the Godox and the Yognuo, got the Yogn but it's still good

Very helpful video ! Can i ask u a question sir. Is TT350f enough for night street photography

Excellent tutorial. I have a couple of questions/observations. 1. All portraits with pop-up flash or any undiffused flash give a certain result. To me...it always looks like the person has been "added" to a landscape picture. The subject looks "too separated" or like a sticker on a photo. Is there a way to avoid this look with direct flash? 2. I think this is an underrated topic. The size and shape of catch lights in the eyes matter a lot...at least to me. The catch lights I get from reflecting the flash from the ceiling or from the walls are HUGE and irregular shape and to some extent... even predictable, while the tiny catch lights from these small flashes looks so "unattractive"...to me. Still way better than no catch lights at all. 3. Of course size matters. My (supposed) "everywhere" lens is the Tamron 18-400, but it is huge and really heavy. I opted for taking the EM-10 and the Panasonic 25mm f/1.7+Olympus 45mm f/1.8+Olympus 14-42mmEZ+Olympus 40-150mm in my small camera bag and it was still lighter than my Nikon D5300+Tamron 18-400mm. I am sure that same goes true for the flashes... especially while traveling. So...you have convinced me to get this Godox TT-350...LOL. Thank you very much for your time and effort.

Rob, I have the EM-10 MKii and the XT1o and TT350o...but I only get 1/180 s sync when either the XT1o or TT350o are on the camera although the camera has a sync of 1/250. And the only way to get to 1/250, is to set the XT1o and TT350o to HSS. Is there something I am missing? aren't the Godox units supposed to sync with the camera native sync speed of 1/250 without going into HSS?

Hello Rob, First of all, thank you for your time teaching us photography and tricks. I admire you a lot. Now maybe you can help me with a situation. I have a Godox X1T-o and 2 TT350O a Epl8 and a M10 III. On the Epl8 the flashes are working fine but on the Em10 III there is no response. I was wondering if yours work fine ,because I noticed 5 contacts in the Em10 and not 4 like on the Epl8 . Thank you.

I've been told not to use my old flashes, like Sunpak, on my Oly. Is that true? If so can I use them on the trigger hot shoe?

Hi sir. Can i fire an old Nikon Sb-26 after mounting it on top of X1T ? Any cons ?

"If you need 16 lights, you probably aren't watching this video anyways" - a humorous and humble observation, thank you. (I'm a beginner.)

Hi Rob! Does Godox tt520ii would work in oky omd em10ii? Thanks in advance. God bless

would you suggest complementîng the 350 with a 685 or another 350 for group photos?

I like the Godox TT350 with my Sony A6400/A6500 cameras. I own two of them as my travel setup. I will use one as master and main light while the other is a slave...

Why not use another TT3550 as the master trigger instead of X1T and another flash ?

It is also good for macro photography? Thanks

Rob, I'm puzzled. You're recommending the Godox TT350 and a Godox Trigger. Specifically, the Godox X1T Trigger, with its integral hot shoe. If we need a Trigger, then we must be using at least two flashguns (a Master or Trigger, and a Slave.) Therefore, as you recommend the TT350, I'm assuming your suggestion is to buy 2 of the Godox TT350s? If that's the case, and one of the TT350s is mounted on the camera's hot shoe, why do I need an X1T Trigger, as the TT350s can be configured as Master and Slave, with the camera-mounted flashgun acting as a wireless (Master) trigger for the off-camera (Slaved) TT350? Your configuration appears to be adding extra weight and height on the camera (not to mention cost of the X1T Trigger) for no obvious advantage. Well, Rob, I know that you know this kind of non-studio flash photography inside-out, so I'm obviously missing something. Can you please explain why we'd want that X1T Trigger when one of our TT350s could act as the trigger? I'm assuming there's something clever you've not told us about. Looking at your real estate video, I noticed you hand-holding two flashguns to correct the lighting cast from fluorescent and tungsten room lighting, so I can see a use for an X1T Trigger. You also gave a brief answer in the previous comment. But I'm sure there's more to this that you're not telling us. Many thanks, Rick

Great video Rob. I have 3x Godox TT685o and the trigger. They’re very versatile and excellent off camera but have an annoying trait on camera. When used direct the zoom communication with the camera body is skewed. This is on both Olympus and Panasonic bodies and with both makes of lenses. If I zoom the lens to 12mm the flash goes to 17mm. If I go to 17mm the flash goes to 25mm. If I zoom to 25mm the flash goes to 35mm etc. This causes a ‘vignette’ effect with dark corners in the images. Everyone I’ve asked about it who has checked and got back to me says theirs do the same. The lithium ion powered variant (V860) is the same. Godox are no help. They won’t reply, their customer service is non-existant. Does the TT350o have the same problem?

Is the tt350 still a good flash ?

Hot shoe on trigger IMO isn’t important with Godox flashes as one flash can control others.

The flash did a crummy job and if it wasn’t a good price I’d send it back. Went through way too many batteries (6) for way too many shots.

Don’t buy the X1 trigger, it’s a hateful little unit. Stupid menu system and not intuitive at all. The Xpro is so much better, clear menus and easy and quick to use, because everything is there on screen. Also, the TT350 has a trigger built into it so you can use that on camera and control any other Godox flash with a receiver off camera.
