Godox has already solved this problem and allows for HSS in that solution. All you need is an X1-R (brand doesn't matter since you don't need TTL) and one of their commanders. Attach the X1-R to the camera via cable (NOT the hotshoe) and handhold the commander as a wireless remote in HSS. You'll need to be on the same channel, of course.
So can I use these just like the pocketwizzard ? I mean the instead of pressing the button to send a signal to release the shutter - can I just mount the transmitter on the hot shoe and make the second camera fire as I click the shutter on the first camera????
Does the fc-16 transmitter work with Godox TT350C flash - without using the reciever with the flash? The TT350 flash has already built-in 2.4GHz radio system. The TT350 flash is compatible with Godox 2.4G wireless X system. Is FC-16 part of the "Godox 2.4G wireless X system"? I just want some smallest cheapest transmitter to trigger the flash, and not carry more stuff around.
when you talk about compatibility and needing the nikon version vs the canon version etc depending on what camera you have, do you mean that if I try to put the nikon version ontop of a canon camera that it won't even act as a simple trigger to a remote flash because of the compatibility issue?? Or are you talking about ETTL or TTL compatibility?? What if I just need something to simply trigger a flash to fire ... forget needing to communicate with the flash remotely to adjust settings, power and zoom etc
The FC-16 double up as a wireless remote shutter so the versions are specific to this feature rather than the flash trigger systems. They'll still act as a simple trigger regardless of the version so long as the centre metal pin lines up with the hot shoe you're using.
I need to use multiple studio strobes and I only have one trigger and one receiver. whoops, is it possible to set the 2nd 3rd and 4th lights to slave mode and fire them all same time?
It is but it won't be as reliable as attaching physical receivers to each. Optical slave works with line of sight so if the other flashes don't see the master flash fire you may encounter misfiring issues.
Is it me or are Godox and Neewer in some ways the same? I have the same triggers the only difference is mine have Neewer written on it. But they are sold as Neewer FC-16 triggers.
They're different, Neewer just have a lot of their own versions of Godox products. We've seen their versions of Godox lights and there is a big difference in quality. Neewer studio accessories like their flags and C-stands are great though.
Any clue why my Godox ct16 trigger doesn’t seem to be working? New batteries, The triggers communicate fine with each other, same channels, ex 430ii slave mode is on.
Hi Hypop. For the model for Sony mirrorless, do you still need to plug a usb / multi function cable into the side? Or does the Sony version of the FC16 use the Sony Multi Function shoe to trigger the camera? Thanks.
The FC-16 model for Sony is compatible with the older Sony Alpha hotshoe, so for the newer models with the Multi Function shoe you'll need to plug in the cable.
You can. But not only that--thr X1-R is a more versatile solution than this F-16 (or whatever it's called) in the video. It allows for HSS and can be used in more ways than the new thing. All you need is a Godox commander. And if you already have an X1-R, you most likely already have a commander to fire it.
Thanks. Very professionally explained: each step.
Glad it was helpful!

Love your work so much! Keep making vids loke this and helping people like me. 😀 Much love ❤️
Thanks for the video mate. Are the compatible with the Canon R series cameras?
great video but will like to know if it is compatible with Godox tt600 thinklite spedlight?
So can I use these just like the pocketwizzard ? I mean the instead of pressing the button to send a signal to release the shutter - can I just mount the transmitter on the hot shoe and make the second camera fire as I click the shutter on the first camera????
Hola. Como tendría que usarlos si tengo un xpro en la cámara y los fc16 en 2 flashes sin radio. Funcionaria?
How many speedlites can you use with this trigger at once? Also is there a maximum?
can the x2 control the triggers ?
Does anyone know what is the difference between CT-16 and FC-16?
Does the fc-16 transmitter work with Godox TT350C flash - without using the reciever with the flash?
The TT350 flash has already built-in 2.4GHz radio system.

No, the FC-16 doesn't work without the receiver. You would need to mount the receiver to your flash for it to work.

Is it compatible work nikon D810? Thanks
Can I use it without receiver or ad200s instead of x1-r?

It is but it won't be as reliable as attaching physical receivers to each. Optical slave works with line of sight so if the other flashes don't see the master flash fire you may encounter misfiring issues.
can I shoot in live-view with these triggers? am using 5d IV

@@hypop i believe you
Any clue why my Godox ct16 trigger doesn’t seem to be working? New batteries, The triggers communicate fine with each other, same channels, ex 430ii slave mode is on.
Are you using ''Silent Trigger'' because the flash will not fire unless the mechanical shutter is turned on.
@@Purlee100 figured it out. It is a bad connection with the trigger to the body. Have to push down on the trigger. Annoying. Thx
which will me better yongnuo rf 603 or this one
is it working good?

To be more clear, need close-up shoot.for beginners,thanks
Sir can we connect X1 r to strobes
