#godox #flash #lumix
I am astonished by the sheer number of times I have ended my research after stumbling onto one of your videos. You always seem to have the exact information that I am looking for!
That's a really great thing to hear. Thanks for the comment.
😂me too. Learning to photograph with the gh5….3 videos in….thanks Gerald. I’m assuming these products still hold up…more research!
had no idea how versatile this system is. You just saved me from buying just a controller. Thanks!
Dude 5 min before I watched this video I was ready to buy a Fomito Godox TT685O together whit the transmitter and of course the godox ad200, thank god if theres any, I saw this video, and thank you for making this video.
Well in 2024 this just helped me a TON with my new Panasonic G9 that I have. Thank you so much Gerald and now I'm subscribed.
Dude keeps crankin’ ‘em out...solid!
Hi Gerald, great video. Thanks. I already own the godox transmitter and the flash unit for my g85, gonna buy a few more of the flashes for multi lighting setup. Just a quick note, generally recycle time ranges refer to the minimal power to full power recycle times. So 2.2 seconds will be if you use 1/1 power whereas fractions of a second for 1/128th power. Cheers
Which system?
Great video pity I bought the transmitter before I watched this however Sir you have earned your self a sub Thank you and looking forward to more content!
Thanks, Ben! Always happy to have a new subscriber! Cheers. 😃
Great video. A lot of helpful information for me as I am COMPLETELY new to this. Thanks a bunch.
I bought three of the Godox TT685o for wedding work. They all have an infuriating problem both with my Panasonic and Olympus bodies. When used on camera and direct the auto zoom does not correlate properly to the focal length set on the lens. If I zoom my lens out to 12mm these flashes go to 14mm. If I zoom to 14mm they go to 17mm. If I zoom to 17mm they go to 25mm. If I zoom to 25mm they go to 35mm and so on. If I use the flash like this then I get dark edges around my frame like a vignette. Infuriating! I hoped that a firmware update might fix this. There has been one so far, but it doesn't. I've conversed with other users on forums. Apparently the V860iio lithium ion powered model has the same fault. Unfortunately, Godox customer service is non existent so absolutely no joy contacting them! I don't know if the TT350o has the same problem. Beware if you are buying for on camera use!
Great video as usual! I'll tell you your videos have come a long way now that I watch your new ones
Great video thank you so much
btw the V flashes with the lithium batteries can cycle about 0.5sec faster on full power.
The number 1-2.2sec that Godox gives refers to the flash power selected, not the health of the batteries. For the V350, Godox gives 1-1.7sec recycle times.
The deal breaker for the V flashes IMO is that down the road Godox may stop selling that specific replacement lithium battery, so you may end up with old, fatigued batteries.
With the TT flash, you can always buy fresh NiMh batteries.
That's a good point about replacements. Thanks for sharing!
SOLD! Dude, you're great.
Thank you for this great video! I have this flash on order was was going to also buy a transmitter but I can just spend a few extra dollars and have two flashes. Thanks!
Going to buy a flash soon, found this video. Thanks
Sadly, the HSS is not compatible the Lumix G9. It keeps black banding....I've used 2 different TT350s to eliminate defective unit theory. Good review though.
Compatible with panasonic s5?
Nice, compact intelligent presentation ... thanks! You actually solved a problem for me... didn't know that these could trigger other flashes in the Godox line - opens up so many options. One question though ... is there any special menu settings needed to make the flash work with the Panasonic/Olympus cameras? (or will the shoe pins take care of the compatibility?) Thanks again.
Awesome! I'm glad. And no, in my experience, they just work as long as you're using the "O" model.
So glad I found this channel, boom subscribed
It doesn't look like this flash is compatible with Lumix S. :(
Thanks, Gerald. Very informative video, I just bought this flash with a Xpro Radio from Godox and I will use it as you mentioned.
I like your style. Very clear!
Bravo; i've just viewed this vid. Thanks so much for your help. Appreciated, Gerald👍
Thanks for the info. Just starting out with a G9 and looking forward to getting a kit that works for my current level. Subscribed.
Useful vid'. These godox flash are really great, and amazing value for money.
Thanks, Andrew. 😃 I completely agree about Godox.
Thanks for the tips! I appreciate the help in deciding what flashes to buy for my gh4/gh5 systems
emarqu08 hi, did you get the godox flash for the gh5? Does the TTL works fine? Thanks!
Hi, a good presentation, I really appreciate the information and the effort that was involved. You started to talk too quickly near the end of the video (7 min onwards) but that is only meant as a helpful hint on the presentation. bye Duncan
Hi There, a quick question, you do not show the continuous mode with your flash, I havce the G9 and V860II and the continuous mode does not work!! Is there the same issue with the TT685 orTT 350. Big thanks for your reviews!!
Yeah I have the same problem. The weird thing is continuous flash and multi-shot mode works at random but most of the time the camera says it's disabled right when I hook up the flash. Seems to be a weird bug that is very frustrating.
Exactly what I needed to know... I'd subscribe but I already have
So you have the G9? This vid was great. I have the TT685o which works w my G85 but Q&A on B&H implies HSS doesn't work with the G9. Surely the camera that Panasonic touts as its flagship stills camera supports HSS. Right? You seem to be using HSS. Great vid and channel. Glad I stumbled upon it while looking into this. I'm itching to buy the G9. Liked and Subbed. Cheers.
Thanks, Carl. I just went and double checked to make sure, and yes, HSS for sure on the G9. I was able to get up to 1/250 without and then 1/8000 with. Images turned out fine, no visible shutter.
Oh wow. Thanks for taking the time to check and get back to me quickly. Someone at B&H was obviously confused, because that made no sense. I'll check out your other content and media outlets. Thanks again!
@@geraldundone So try it wireless (especially at low powers) and tell us again.
The TT350 manual even states vaguely that wireless HSS doesn't work on Panasonic bodies.
@@paulabenson6797 Wireless HSS DOES work. You need to make sure HSS is switched on with the Godox wireless transmitter.
@@paulabenson6797 I have G9 and I keep getting black banding. It begins as the shutter speed increases. I have the HSS active on the flash and it still occurs. Tried 2 different units to the same result. At lower speeds it's ok but not high.
Very Helpful, Thanks!
do you know if this flash works on panasonic GH4 ?
Greetings from Argentina!
if it works with gh5 I don’t see why not
I have exactly the same setup and it works fine.
I'm gonna add 1 more ad200 for events and weddings.
Thanks for sharing that. Appreciate it.
Can the G9 use continuous shooting and flash at the same time? Canon can, Fuji (X-T10) cannot.
gracias por tu video me fue de una gran utilidad. saludos desde guatemala.
Hello Gerald, i have a Big Problem to use the HSS Flash on my Lumix G9
The Highsync doesnt work excactly to the cam shutter.
Pls help ne to fix the problem
Thanks
I've read somewhere that the firmware on both camera and flash better be updated to the latest ones.
the same with Lumix GX80
Hey GREAT VIDEO how did you connect the camera to the Godox...
Great video Gerard. Thanks. Quick question. I purchased the Godox v1 for GH5. One issue I have is burst mode will not work when I have the Godox flash attached. Any idea what problem might be? Thanks. JohnO
i know this is an old video. i just want to know if the Godox will work if I use the camera on Burst Shot? Thank you!
What’s up bro, I have a quick question now I see you own the lumix in this video but I own an Olympus & I have a AE Bracketing feature which allows a number of frames being shot at various speeds & I was curious to know if I attach the TT350 & use flash would the speedlight flash go as the same speed of the shutter feature ? Just want to know before purchasing!
Hello 参考になりました！ありがとうございます😊
I know its an old video, but an Ad200 can it not be controlled with a Godox XT2 atttached to a Lumix GH5 or G9.
Model Godox TT600 HSS as far as I understand can be use on MFT cameras, wondering if would be any difference besides I believe that the Godox TT600 HSS is powerful and heavier than the Godox TT350
I was looking for this TT350o flashlight for a Lumix G9, but read that it's HSS (High Speed Sync) does not work well with the G9. Apparently the product manual mention this incompatibility. Have you tested it using HSS?
Yes, HSS TT350o dont work with panasonic Lumix...
Hey do you still have the G9 ? i just sold my G85 today i'm looking to get one, maybe i could buy it from you, im just starting as a filmmaker ;) ? let me know
I can’t get my godox to work with my g9. Everything is set up correctly but it won’t synch with my camera. Any advice?
Would this work on the G7?
Hit dislike twice. Gold 😂. Good vid bro, very informative
Hey there great video!! I bought the flash because of your video and I have a gh5 and this thing will not work lol. Am I missing some special settings or something??
Hey, Did you ever figure this out? I am having the same issues
@@kerryroberts3317 Nope, never figured it out 🤦🏽♀️😂😂😂
@@clearmediaproductions Ok I finally figured this out. I actually bought a Panasonic flash and it still wasn't working so got the manual out and I found what was causing the issue. It was a setting issue for me. I had my shutter set to Silent mode. Ive tried both flashes and they both work now. I've put the settings that will stop the flash working below - I hope this helps you.
In the following cases, the flash is fixed to (forced flash off).
• When recording motion pictures
• When recording 6K/4K photos
• When recording with the Post Focus function
• When using the electronic shutter
• When an image effect in [Filter Effect] of [Filter Settings] is set
• When [Silent Mode] is set to [ON]
• When [HDR] is set to [ON]
Does it work well at party photography at night ? Because i have panasonic dmc g7
I was offended at the amount of times you said “slave” in this video :P LOL
My flash is not going off when i take a photo on the gh5 - can anyone help?
Brilliant thanks:)
hallo.. gx85 is good in low light? what the best lens for it? i’m newbie, but I want to shoot at the stage photography🙏🏻
I heard this doesn't work TTL with the G7, mine was made in 2017 from what I can tell but no updates to firmware since 2016. Has anyone used this as a TTL with the G7?
Does "constant preview" work when in Manual mode & using a flash at the same time? I cant get it to work.
How to pair it with the GH5? Any settings required in the camera’s menu?
Would this work on a good as well?
Hi Gerald, I am really struggling to find a flash that is compatible with my GH5. I have tried the GODOX TT350(o) and it did not work. Have you tried using this flash with a GH5 model? If so could you please let me know what I am doing wrong and why it isn't working ?
I remember you at 1.2k subs :D
Hey, Matt! I appreciate you being there throughout this epic TH-cam journey. Heh. 😃
Cheers, mate!
Gerald Undone I’d be interested in a workflow video especially how you mix your Sony footage with your Panasonic footage in dual cam setup. Good work on the new formats
Thanks for the suggestion and the kind words. That's a great idea.
You are the man
These are nice but I noticed Multi-Shot mode does not seem to work very well with the G9. Sometimes it works great but most of the time the G9 disables the multi-shot option when you hookup the flash and are limited to just one shot at a time. This does not make sense and appears to be a bug with either the flashes or the camera. Not sure which.
I also wondering about this!??
Can I put it on m,y hotdshoe and start shooting? What must I set on my G9"?
Trying to use my GH5S with this light and its not working. What am I doing wrong? How do I actually set it up to where i can press the button on my cam and it just flashes?
Godox TT350o only works in C1-C3 Auto Mode. Is the flash too old for this camera?
Did I receive a lemon? I connect the Godox to my G7. TTL mode but it shows M. Not sure how to set it to AU. I CANNOT get the flash to fire when I press the shutter button. Test on flash works though.
Great video thanks. I have several Yongnuo 560 units, do you know if the wireless on this Godox flash will trigger them? I would want to take advantage of the TTL on this unit and use the Yongnuo as slave, thanks
Do you think this light would be enough for events? (Using as on camera flash)
How did you set up camera?
How do you like the g9 and how does it compare to the gh5
NOBODY talks about what flash can do burst shooting with Lumix. Gx8 specifically
Hello Gerald! Thanks for the great vid! Do you still use this flash setup? I'm asking because, like you, I've been mixing Godox flashes for different brands (Nikon and Panasonic in my case), but I've had problems with Panasonic for a while now, especially once I try using the wireless transmitter part of the TT350 (or the XPro-O for that matter). The issue is that there is a noticeable shutter-delay once I enable the tansmitter function on the TT350 or plug in the Xpro-O on my Panasonic G81 (and GX81).
I've found a Dpreview Forum thread, were many people report the same behaviour for Olympus Cameras (EM1 Mark 2) as well. It seems like there is some sort of communication issue between the Godox and M43 Gear, as isolating the bottom two pins of the flash gets rid of the delay (alas you lose TTL and High-Speed Sync)... www.dpreview.com/forums/post/61981028 (links to a post were it is demonstrated in Video)
I think this is a fairly major issue, as freezing a subject in motion or "capturing the decisive moment" is downright impossible with this behaviour. I have not experienced this behviour with my Nikon yet (using either the TT685 or X1T-N as a transmitter). Could you try it again with maybe both your G9 and GH5, paying close attention to the shutter delay if wireless transmission is on? I'm really unsure about investing more into Godox gear, as this is a real deal killer for me, but if it was solved with more recent M43 cameras, I guess it would be ok.
Hi there daehxxiD. I’m a videographer using Panasonic GH5’s, and am looking to get some flashes/strobes etc. What would you recommend?
I picked up an X2T-F and it was unable to trigger my V860ii-O, so I had to return it. Not sure if I should try to see if a TT350-F will control my stuff....
The TTL function on my TT350 is not working. I try it on camera and off with XT trigger and TTL is not working. It did work for the 1 year I had the flash, now stop working. Is there anything I can try?
Hello Gerald! What a great tutorial. Right after watching this I got the flashes and shot an event but I ran into one problem. The playback of the images on G9 is so off, it's terrible. I shot an event last night with this setup, and when checking on camera playback, it seemed that I nailed the exposure only to find out they were about 5 stops underexposed once I transferred the pictures onto my computer. This is terrible! Very deceiving playback. I have my G9 monitor brightness set to A* (auto) and the have a constant preview ON, but I think the issue is in incorrect playback, rather than preview. Do you experience the same issue? Did you find out how to get accurate playback? It's driving me insane because I cannot find any answers on this matter anywhere. Thank you!
Sorry to hear about your troubles. In my experience constant preview doesn't work well when a flash is attached and I thought it was turned off automatically. But that shouldn't have affected your playback. An underexposed picture should look underexposed when reviewing images. I would definitely test again and see if you can replicate the issue.
I'm going to contact Panasonic customer support, maybe they will give me some insight. Thanks for taking time to respond to me :)
No problem. Good luck! Let me know what they say if you have time.
So far they have told me to reset the camera to factory settings but that did not help. I've also been told that constant preview is not available when flash is attached (bummer). They did suggest a decent workaround though, which is to check in camera light meter, to know if the exposure is ok. Not ideal, but better than nothing. I also found out that I can view the histogram on the playback. It's very cumbersome, but decently effective. As far as the playback, I filed a claim. They told me that somebody will be contacting me. I'm keeping my fingers crossed.
Did you ever resolve this? I have the same underexposure issue, preview looks perfect but in Lightroom they're dark.
Are you sure it is working on GH5? I'm really confused. It seems to me that it doesn't.
Porque en la lumix g9 no puedo disparar con flash en el modo M?
Thanks for the clear info. However, I have a problem. I have the TT350o version which I was told was compatible with my new Lumix G95 mirrorless camera. BUT, I cannot get it to fire off camera using the wireless trigger! The flash is set in Slave mode (neither TTL or Manual work) on channel 1 in group A and my camera has wireless turned on and set to channel 1 and group A turned on. Nothing happens! Any ideas what could be wrong? Forgive my ignorance, but the camera should act as the Master and the flash set up near the subject should be the Slave, correct?
I also have g95 and would like to buy TT350o. However, I am not sure that this is compatible with my camera.
@@bahrammoradi6553 I bought a Godox flash for my Lumix G95 only to discover that you cannot use radio to trigger the flash because the Lumix radio signals don't work with the Godox flash (Lumix has a proprietary system!). So I returned it and bought a Lumix flash which is working fine. Can trigger it off camera with the G95's onboard flash or use the radio system. I got the FL360L flash which is more expensive and heavier than the Godox, but is very strong and I need the wireless!
@@peterinpensacola thanks for reply. It was very helpful.
@@peterinpensacola you need a separate trigger that works with the flash and the camera. this is true for all cameras. the camera itself is not capable of sending signals.
@@GPadugan Not true. My Lumix G95 has a radio trigger for Lumix flashes. The built-in radio trigger is proprietary so does not work with other brands, only Lumix. I sent back that Godox flash and bought a Lumix flash and all works great via optical trigger or radio trigger.
Hi, I'm considering to get a Panasonic DCFZ80K Camera - do you know if the Godox TT350o will work on it?
Hi Gerald! I am just getting into a photography and have a strong video background. Thanks to your video I was able to sync and connect my external flash to my Panasonic GH4. But my flash button is disabled in my menu. So it's not firing. I always shoot in manual mode. Any advice? Greatly appreciate it.
Hi Grace, did you ever figure this out. I also have a GH4 and want to make sure I purchase the right flash.
Jorddal Luftfoto
Hi, owned the Lumix G 9 for 2 weeks now.Happy so far exept its not possible to use flash in any burst mode. Only tried with Rotolight Aeos, but Panasonic Norway confirmes it is not possible with any flash! Tried with both sync cable and Godox x1 trigger. Very dissapointing for me. Is there any way around this?
Do I have to use Panasonic flashes? Thanks!
Will this work w GH6?
Hey do you know if the Neewer Vision 4 work with the gh5 ?
Don’t they have any led lights that double as flashes? That would be awesome. That way you could use them for video and photos :)
I've watched a TH-cam video and it said that if you place a flash on a Panasonic camera then you will be unable to use constant preview. Is this true??? Great vid btw
Correct. When using flash constant preview is disabled. It's kind of handy though. That way you can still see in dark environments since your flash is likely to lighten the dark scene. And it would be nearly impossible for the constant preview to accurately predict what your lights are going to do to the exposure.
Good note. Thanks for the comment.
Thanks Gerald, appreciate your reply. But silly question, how might we properly expose our shot if we can't see it before hand??? Is there a technic you'd recommend??? I'm new to on camera flash and want to be able to take great shots first time round instead of too much trail and error
I can't seem to be able to link AD200 Pro with the TT350O. I have a X1TO Trigger, but they won't communicate.
Can you use it without being on the camera?
I barely use my flash but I have never charged the battery on the rechargeable model
What is the range of the wireless trigger? Did I miss that? Helpful video. Thanks for making it.
The spec sheet says 100 feet/30 meters. I've never tested it that far, but I can vouch for at least 20 feet.
Gerald Undone Thanks for the reply. I’m looking forward to trying it out.
I feel so dumb BUT.. I have a Panasonic DMC- FZ 70 that I’ve been using for a few years now. And I saw at 3:46 your camera shoots so fast. For some reason mine takes forever to take one photo I mean the photos turn out good but it takes forever what can I do? Not sure if my camera is broken or not?
can I control the flash remotely from my gh5? I tried the slave mode and removed the flash from the hotshoe m but didn't see any flash while shooting photos, why?
you need a transmitter. the flash itself will act as a transmitter, but you would need 2 flashes. one on the camera and one off. Or you buy a transmitter separately put that in the hotshoe and then you can have the flash off camera. the camera itself is not capable of transmitting a signal to the flash.
does compatible with lumix s5 ii ?
I am trying to use this with my GH5 but it underexposes by several stops on every shot. This is with the TTL setting and GH5 on Progroam, SP and AP. Compensation is at 0 or -1. Still the same result. Manual 1/4 power is only thing that works. Am I missing something? This is with 1st or 2nd curtain shutter
Great video as always! Will the tt350 work in conjunction with the Xpro-o using a GH4?
Thanks! It should, yeah. You can set the TT350 to slave and trigger it with the XPro.
Gerald Undone great thanks!!
Hey Gerald, I spent a good portion of today just sitting in front of the TV watching your videos LOL but seriously I’m subbed and I’m in!
If you have a moment to go to our channel and check out some of our videos, I shoot them with a G7 on my gimbal and a GH4 on my tripod. I also do portrait photography, head shots, fashion and glamour etc., and I’m really interested in the Sony A7Rii and the A7ii (due to budget) for my photography use...
Can I get your general thoughts on if you think I’ll see a noticeable difference in my photography use? Thanks in advance!
-Adam
Hey, Adam! Thanks for saying that. That means a lot. Cheers! 😃👍
Checked out your videos. They seem clean and well-sorted to me. No problems there. Keep it up.
As for photography, it's hard to say anything outright, because often the gear is less important than the user, but I feel like I can tell the difference. As an owner of the G9 and the a7 III, I feel like I get better photos with the Sony. It's not huge, but there is more detail, better bokeh in some compositions, and it just feels a little richer. I feel like you might enjoy something similar between the G7 and the a7R II/a7 II. Full frame definitely has it's perks when it comes to photos.
I'm not suggesting you can't get great photos on the G7, just that you might like the results a bit more on the Sony.
Gerald Undone I appreciate the feedback...I’ve just put my GH4 up for sale and will be shopping for a Sony A7Rii...
rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F283341715304
I wanna know if I can buy if for my G85?
Sir. Can TT350 be used with a trigger?
Do you mean as a slave to the XPro? If so, yes it can. Pretty much anything with the "X Wireless" designation from Godox can work with the other products with that designation.
Be careful these Godox flashes are not compatible with focus bracketing function of Panasonic cameras (for focus stacking later in Photoshop)
Does it work with Lumix g85/85 too?
The Amazon links for the GODOX TT350o doesn't work. Maybe you can relink it before I purchase a handful?
Thanks for the heads-up. Should be fixed now.
@@geraldundone Thank you for fixing it. I'll purchase a handful now.
This flash on camera and this trigger with flash off camera won't work with Panasonic m43 in HSS and it's in manual and nobody is mentioning that. Images are not in sync with shutter which shows.
