I’m a videographer by trade and a hobby photographer. I learned everything I needed to know about my flash from your video. Bits and pieces from around the web weren’t nearly as helpful as this video. Excellent work and appreciated sir!
Just got the tt350N for Christmas (First external flash I've owned). Instruction book that came with it is a bit lackluster. You're video is the perfect of example of informative, yet simple enough that anyone should understand and you even experimented a little and explained your technique. Very well done. I will be watching more of your videos.
Nobody can explain things like you, Rob. You have such a relaxed way of demonstrating. I bought this little flash after watching one of your video’s with the Xpro trigger. It works like a charm and for a very reasonable price.
Brilliant explanations as usual, thank you. I'll share my own experience here, try as I might I could not get the Zoom button to cooperate. Reading the manual on page 42 I decided it had been deactivated because my batteries must be low (although no on screen indication that they were). Changed the batteries and still no success. Over leaf on page 43 I then read that using the wide panel (which I had been) the zoom will stay constantly on 14mm and the Zoom button will not work! I had folded up and pushed the panel back into the housing. BUT..it was no fully home, protruding by 1mm only. A firm push resulted in a small click and and active zoom button!! Old age approaches faster than I'd hoped.
Happens to me sometimes. I actually broke the wide panel on another flash and the zoom was permanently fixed wide. I used a little cardboard and tape to hold it down.
I'm using 2 tt350s. Loving them. Easy fun. I can use one as trigger only. Or both, and add more if I like. Love them because they're smaller... I have a tiny Sony flash... that's my little flash. The 2 350s... I'm looking forward to experimenting a lot, fortunate to live now. 40 years ago experimenting with film... too expensive. Life is good.
Another great video Rob, ordered flash on Sunday, received it today Wed, watched your flash settings video and was working perfectly within half an hour. Next is buying the X1T trigger and setting it up as per your video when I receive it. Your diction is perfect and instructions are clear and precise. Many thanks, greatly appreciated.
Rob, thank you for the excellent explanation of how I get the Godox TT350 working on my Olympus omd em10 mark III. I can learn a lot from your videos, now that I have taken photography again for the hobby. Thank you very much, keep it up. Greetings from the Netherlands
Great video Rob. I love all of your videos. You have a great way of handling yourself and terrific teaching skills. I look forward to learning about using the Godox with the trigger. I will be ordering both today with your link. Thanks again!
All your videos are just so informative and instructional! Just the exact right amount of words to answer my questions, and nothing more (because then I would get all confused!) I get a little bit better for each video I watch, and that must be a good measure for quality, I hope! I could have copied this comment into each and every one of your videos, but you'll just have to make a mental note of it and pretend I did!
Again you prove to be the best teacher you can’t imagine how much I learned about my gear by watching your tutorials. Thanks for sharing Rob and more important, keep up the good work!
YOU ARE THE COMPLETE MASTER. You just solved an issue that's been going on with Slave mode. The key is to have it on manual, and press slave mode, and that's it! thank you thank you thank you
WOLOLO, thanks rob, I bought the 350 but didn't realize it can be optically triggered, you just help me set up a ultra simple two flash system with the FL-LM3. But I still would like to test later by myself if the high speed sync would work in manual mode. I think maybe the flash just cannot limit the flash speed, but it may still output the flat light intensity profile
this video is awesome very helpful and I followed step by step and it works well. Just 1 problem during part changing zoom I could not change it, found out it was caused by the flip covering the flash, it works well now, thanks a lot very helpful, now I know how to use the flash without trigger, I tried this lesson using EM1 Mark II. thanks so much.
This was super useful, perfect amount of information for me, thank you! Just what I needed to know. I had assumed the mm related to the camera focal length so that is a really great nugget as well. I watched a few other videos before this one which were unfortunately fruitless! Thanks again
Nice video again Rob,as i bought myself this flash with the trigger and should recieve it by this week.Will look forward if you also do a video on the flash with the trigger.
You are definitely the best tutor on TH-cam. I love your tutorials. Have you written any guide books or thought of doing downloadable information sheets to go with your tutorial videos? I would be happy to pay for them!! Thank you for all your hard work in making these brilliant videos.

Almost got this flash kit for my E-m10 but got the TT685o instead because I'm pairing this with the Laowa 7.5mm (15mm) which the TT350 only goes to 24mm wide. Thanks again.
I just got one of these and the x2T trigger. Got caught with the same zoom getting stuck at 14mm. Compared to my Nissan i40 these are really complicated. I will probably have to watch this a few times before I can even use the thing. Thanks for doing these tutorials, I always come back to your site when I need to know something.
@@RobTrek I too have the x2t trigger which works fine with the AD600 but I just cannot get the TT350 to work with the X2T. Have you had any success with this combination? Thanks for your great tutorials... not just flash but all of them. Cheers
Hi Rob - I've started watching your videos to learn to use the Godox TT350 O off camera (& the X1T) with my Oly EM5 Mk iii. You're handholding the Godox in this video. But I was hoping to use a "mini" tabletop light stand to hold the flash. Is there a head or adapter that would fit over the light stand to hold that Godox flash unit? Thx.
Thx Rob! I'd researched on Amazon but saw reviews that concerned me about possible gear damage (of course who knows if ppl misuse...). So thx for the pointer to these as an alternative, known to work option!
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 (since Olympus and Panasonic are the same). 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?
Thanks for the response Rob. I have a Godox flash (TT350o) and am trying to use my G95 to trigger it by radio. I have the camera's wireless turned on. I don't have a Godox trigger as I was told by Andorama Camera it is compatible with the G95. Meaning I can use the camera's radio system to trigger it. They may just be wrong!
@@peterinpensacola Yeah, they are wrong. The godox x system of flashes and triggers are proprietary to godox and not compatible with other systems. You can get a cheap x1t trigger made by neewer here: amzn.to/3adcUD0
Thanks Rob. What is the purpose of having an "O" version tailored to Olympus and Panasonic cameras if it does not work with their radio trigger! How stupid. The pins on the hot shoe work with Panasonic, but the radio trigger does not. Poor engineering. The matter is further obfuscated by Godox advertising that it has "2.4 GHz radio control". I'm sending it back. Why would I want another gadget (a dedicated trigger) to keep track of? I'm buying the Lumix FL360L flash which will is a total solution. Thanks again for you feedback.
@@peterinpensacola Makes sense. The godox system is great if you need to expand to their larger strobes with multi light setups like in a studio. Still, it's nice to have a flash that can be controlled directly from the camera. Much more efficient for smaller setups.
I was just saying yesterday, wonder if I missed any of Rob's videos. Perfect video for me because I am thinking of getting the TT685 as my main and TT350 as a rim or fill flash with a radio trigger. Currently I am doing some head shots where I have a wall and ceiling that is perfect as a butterfly light using my FL50 on a flash bracket but obviously I can't take the wall and ceiling with me on location if that would be needed. You got me thinking that I could actually either use the optical trigger working with my old trusty FL50 or the hotshoe on the radio trigger to connect it. Thanks!
Don't see a need for the tt685 if you have the FL50 and are comfortable with setting the flash power manually. If shoot outdoors, you may want to consider getting the AD200 instead.
Hi Rob, what kind of lens hood are you using on the Olympus 17mm f/1.8 ? It does not look like the original model. Is it screwed into the filter thread ? It looks tight. Is there no vignetting ? Thanks, also the flash information was very helpful. Moritz
Very helpful tutorial Rob, I would really like (and appreciate it) if you did the video on this flash with the trigger, I have the FlashPoint version. Thank you.
So helpful!!! I was frustrated and didn't know what I was doing wrong! Thanks for teaching this man to fish by explaining the "why" with the "how"! I have a question I think you probably know the answer to... When I got my tt350o last week, and started playing with it, I could swear that the godox flash was firing off camera while the camera's flash was up, but set to off. I turned wireless on, on my Panasonic G85. Is it possible that my G85 was acting as a wireless trigger, or was I probably in slave mode and didn't realize that the camera's flash was firing? What do you think?
Thanks. I doubt the g85 wireless is compatible with godox, , but obviously turn off the wireless in your camera and see if the flash still fires. Sorry I couldn't help more as I don't have a g85.
Great video on TT350 off camera demo. But Rob, can i still using high speed sync flash on TT350 under optical trigger just as the setup in your youtube?? Thanks in advance!!!
Hi Rob, thanks for this video. However, I have the Olympus E-M10 Mark III and I don't seem to have a manual flash setting, which I find surprising. Does this mean I need to look for a different flash? Maybe the TT520II? Thanks in advance.
Your best bet is to get the tt350 with the x1t trigger. With the trigger, you can control the flash power independently of the camera. Neewer is selling their version of the trigger for a lot cheaper. amzn.to/2x2sDHc
Thanks Rob. Great instruction. I had quite a problem on how to set up the flash to work properly and this video really help me. My next project is learn how to set up X1t to work with 2 TT350.
Again another valuable teaching on this subject. Truly appreciate it. I have question about my EM5, i believe it's the 1st edition. It only has a Fill setting and can't find a manual setting for the flash unlike in your video for the Mii or Miii. And its flash sync limits me to only 1/160. Can't reach the 1/250 ss. Did i miss something or its really just the limits of the 1st Mark1? Thanks again.
I'm not sure why, but I have a similar issue with my e-m10ii and x1t trigger. I can only get 1/180th even though the camera can do 1/250th. Not a big deal I suppose. I just switch the hss button on the trigger to get whatever speed I need. Have you tried that? Also, you can just use fill flash setting then control the flash power with trigger. Not as convenient as just dialing in exposure comp, but it's a viable workaround.
@@RobTrek Thanks so much Rob. Yes, i do the hss and the fill combined with adjusting the power. Guess its a work around that i can live with. Good there are options as this. Looking forward to your next tutorials. Stay safe.
Great video as always, would you consider doing a video on OMD settings for sharper images, I’m happy with what I’m getting but would like to know if professionals have any tips for the amateur.
I think Robin Wong just posted a video on sharper images. Haven't watched it yet but may be worth checking out. Generally I recommend using as fast a shutter speed as possible. Camera shake is the biggest problem. Our cameras autofocus pretty well otherwise.
One thing I stumbled relates to using single auto + manual focus. I have set up function button 1 to enable zoom in. I still didn't think I was getting the sharpest. After going from the LCD I found taking off glasses and using the eyepiece was my best result. But only AFTER I made sure I had set the diopter dial next to the eyepiece to my eye.
Hallo Rob, I have a canon 580EXII and I want to use this of camera working but with your infomation I cant get it working. Can you give me suitable info? Regards, Rob
Hi. I looked at the manual for the 580exii and it seems that it will only work as a slave unit with other canon flashes. You'll need to get an optical trigger shoe like this one: amzn.to/3U8hz37
It's for attaching light modifiers such as gels and snoots. When shopping for flash accessories, you'll find many that attach via velcro (hook and loop).
Hi Rob. Thanks for your efficient tutorials. Do you have an idea why a TT350o wouldn't work with my om-d em-10 (mark 1). It's not listed in the flash manual but people on the web have said it works for them. I can just get it to fire off camera as a slave, not on camera. Also does RCmode have any bearing on the subject? Thanks and keep up the good work.
@@RobTrek Thanks for the reply. I don't believe I have a silent shutter on this model... unless it's called something else. And I am in fill mode... My only hypothesis other than my camera isn't working properly is that maybe those people who say they have used the flash on this camera have forgotten to mention the version of their em-10 and are in fact not using the mark 1.
Unfortunately as I don't have a Mark 1 to try for myself, I can't really help. Only other thing I can think of is make sure high speed sync (FP) is off. Check the mu-43 forums. I'm sure someone there has the em10 mark 1 and a godox.
Hi Rob, I tried the flash on a second hand em-5 mII today and it worked immediately. So I guess my model is indeed not supported. Th good news is that it forced me to buy the em-5 which I was just looking for an excuse to do anyway.
Rob please assist.I notice that on manual setting the lowest flash setting activated to use is 1/64 and that the 1/80 ,1/100 ,1/128 settings is greyed out.Do i miss something or is a setting wrong on my camera(em10 mk11)
I'm not having any problem firing my on-camera tt350 and off-camera ad200 in hss - meaning there are no black bars. However, the flash power is greatly reduced but it works. Best to put both flashes in manual mode for hss. I seem to get much brighter images. I generally found using an nd filter and shooting in normal sync speed gets better results.
I have the Neewer nw400o for Olympus and the Neewer N1 trigger. I LOVE this flash and I am amazed at the life of batteries. But I am wondering if you would know if the nw400 is equivalent to the Godox tt350, to the point that my Neewer trigger would work with Godox? From everything I see, but no confirmation, that Godox and Neewer are the same only branded differently. Anyone knowing, please reply...
@@RobTrek Thanks... I have been on several forums and the best I can tell is they are just rebranded... but to be safe I will get another Neewer flash.
I think indoors you'll be fine using the optical trigger on the godox tt350. You'll be in full manual mode on the flash and the optical trigger is not that great but workable indoors. Outdoors forget it!
@@RobTrek Thanks a lot for the video. Could you please explain why this method doesn´t work outside? As far as the camera can "see" the flash it should work, right? Could we use also the set up described in the video with the AD200? Please, keep doing these great videos!!
@@pachecojmp Hi. The optical trigger on the tt350 is weak, so outside it struggles and is not reliable. The ad200 doesn't have an optical trigger. For reliable flash, best to get the radio trigger. This one works great amzn.to/2YTk90L
Watching these videos is like having a friend walk you through working with your equipment. Best instructional videos I've ever watched!

Thank you for the kind feedback. Much appreciated!
Brilliant explanations as usual, thank you. I'll share my own experience here, try as I might I could not get the Zoom button to cooperate. Reading the manual on page 42 I decided it had been deactivated because my batteries must be low (although no on screen indication that they were). Changed the batteries and still no success. Over leaf on page 43 I then read that using the wide panel (which I had been) the zoom will stay constantly on 14mm and the Zoom button will not work! I had folded up and pushed the panel back into the housing. BUT..it was no fully home, protruding by 1mm only. A firm push resulted in a small click and and active zoom button!! Old age approaches faster than I'd hoped.
I had the same problem and found the answer on TH-cam the next day. Nothing to do with age (I hope).
Happens to me sometimes. I actually broke the wide panel on another flash and the zoom was permanently fixed wide. I used a little cardboard and tape to hold it down.

Thanks. You can't use HSS with the optical trigger.
Thank you for this!!!! 🙌🙌🙌🙌
You're so welcome!
Thanks for the video you have explained a lot
Thanks. Glad this helped.
Hi Rob, thanks for this video. However, I have the Olympus E-M10 Mark III and I don't seem to have a manual flash setting, which I find surprising. Does this mean I need to look for a different flash? Maybe the TT520II? Thanks in advance.
Your best bet is to get the tt350 with the x1t trigger. With the trigger, you can control the flash power independently of the camera. Neewer is selling their version of the trigger for a lot cheaper. amzn.to/2x2sDHc
Thanks Rob. Great instruction. I had quite a problem on how to set up the flash to work properly and this video really help me. My next project is learn how to set up X1t to work with 2 TT350.
Thanks. I'm doing the X1t trigger next!
Again another valuable teaching on this subject. Truly appreciate it. I have question about my EM5, i believe it's the 1st edition. It only has a Fill setting and can't find a manual setting for the flash unlike in your video for the Mii or Miii. And its flash sync limits me to only 1/160. Can't reach the 1/250 ss. Did i miss something or its really just the limits of the 1st Mark1? Thanks again.
I'm not sure why, but I have a similar issue with my e-m10ii and x1t trigger. I can only get 1/180th even though the camera can do 1/250th. Not a big deal I suppose. I just switch the hss button on the trigger to get whatever speed I need. Have you tried that? Also, you can just use fill flash setting then control the flash power with trigger. Not as convenient as just dialing in exposure comp, but it's a viable workaround.
@@RobTrek Thanks so much Rob. Yes, i do the hss and the fill combined with adjusting the power. Guess its a work around that i can live with. Good there are options as this. Looking forward to your next tutorials. Stay safe.
thx rob good job
Thank you.
Great video as always, would you consider doing a video on OMD settings for sharper images, I’m happy with what I’m getting but would like to know if professionals have any tips for the amateur.
I think Robin Wong just posted a video on sharper images. Haven't watched it yet but may be worth checking out. Generally I recommend using as fast a shutter speed as possible. Camera shake is the biggest problem. Our cameras autofocus pretty well otherwise.
Thanks, Robin Wong has some good videos, thanks for the heads up.
One thing I stumbled relates to using single auto + manual focus. I have set up function button 1 to enable zoom in. I still didn't think I was getting the sharpest. After going from the LCD I found taking off glasses and using the eyepiece was my best result. But only AFTER I made sure I had set the diopter dial next to the eyepiece to my eye.
Randy Bork thanks
Hallo Rob, I have a canon 580EXII and I want to use this of camera working but with your infomation I cant get it working. Can you give me suitable info?
Regards,
Rob
Hi. I looked at the manual for the 580exii and it seems that it will only work as a slave unit with other canon flashes. You'll need to get an optical trigger shoe like this one: amzn.to/3U8hz37
Thanks for your quick reply, hopefully this is the solution!
Rob, my TT350 came with a bunch of velcro strips. I see you've got some on your flash unit. What are they for?
It's for attaching light modifiers such as gels and snoots. When shopping for flash accessories, you'll find many that attach via velcro (hook and loop).
@@RobTrek Superb, cheers Rob
Perfect!
Thanks!
Does the Godox flash act as a radio trigger for other Godox flashes?
Yes, for most. Just double check, but you're pretty safe.
CAN THE A7ii do the off camera flash also without a trigger? I cant seem to get it right. I have the tt350s and ILCE7M2
I don't think the A7ii has a built in flash, so you will need a trigger.
Hi Rob. Thanks for your efficient tutorials. Do you have an idea why a TT350o wouldn't work with my om-d em-10 (mark 1). It's not listed in the flash manual but people on the web have said it works for them. I can just get it to fire off camera as a slave, not on camera. Also does RCmode have any bearing on the subject? Thanks and keep up the good work.
Only thing I can think of is you are using silent shutter? Also set your flash mode to "Fill In". Let me know.
@@RobTrek Thanks for the reply. I don't believe I have a silent shutter on this model... unless it's called something else. And I am in fill mode... My only hypothesis other than my camera isn't working properly is that maybe those people who say they have used the flash on this camera have forgotten to mention the version of their em-10 and are in fact not using the mark 1.
Unfortunately as I don't have a Mark 1 to try for myself, I can't really help. Only other thing I can think of is make sure high speed sync (FP) is off. Check the mu-43 forums. I'm sure someone there has the em10 mark 1 and a godox.
@@RobTrek Thanks Rob, I'll keep looking. Anyway, I really appreciate you taking the time to answer. All the best, Nick.
Hi Rob, I tried the flash on a second hand em-5 mII today and it worked immediately. So I guess my model is indeed not supported. Th good news is that it forced me to buy the em-5 which I was just looking for an excuse to do anyway.
Rob please assist.I notice that on manual setting the lowest flash setting activated to use is 1/64 and that the 1/80 ,1/100 ,1/128 settings is greyed out.Do i miss something or is a setting wrong on my camera(em10 mk11)
The on camera flash minimum power is 1/64th, so you're not missing it. Lower settings are not available.
Is there a way to make this flash fire a tt600 by radio, but not flash itself on top of the camera while firing the tt600 off camera?
Yes. You put the on-camera flash in "M"aster mode, then push the mode button while on "M" until you see the no-flash icon or off.
@@RobTrek thank you. I must have been putting something wrong. Thanks for the help, I will try that.🙂
The 350 can shoot by itself in high speed sync, but it can’t remote trigger another flash to fire in high speed sync, can it?
I'm not having any problem firing my on-camera tt350 and off-camera ad200 in hss - meaning there are no black bars. However, the flash power is greatly reduced but it works. Best to put both flashes in manual mode for hss. I seem to get much brighter images. I generally found using an nd filter and shooting in normal sync speed gets better results.
@@RobTrek thanks for you kind response!
I have the Neewer nw400o for Olympus and the Neewer N1 trigger. I LOVE this flash and I am amazed at the life of batteries. But I am wondering if you would know if the nw400 is equivalent to the Godox tt350, to the point that my Neewer trigger would work with Godox? From everything I see, but no confirmation, that Godox and Neewer are the same only branded differently. Anyone knowing, please reply...
Sorry, I don't know this one but hopefully someone will. Maybe go to mu-43.com and ask in the forums there.
@@RobTrek Thanks... I have been on several forums and the best I can tell is they are just rebranded... but to be safe I will get another Neewer flash.
Will I be able to use this flash off camera with my EM-1 and FL-LM2 flash? I don't really need the X1 transmitter.
I think indoors you'll be fine using the optical trigger on the godox tt350. You'll be in full manual mode on the flash and the optical trigger is not that great but workable indoors. Outdoors forget it!
@@RobTrek Thanks a lot for the video. Could you please explain why this method doesn´t work outside? As far as the camera can "see" the flash it should work, right? Could we use also the set up described in the video with the AD200? Please, keep doing these great videos!!
@@pachecojmp Hi. The optical trigger on the tt350 is weak, so outside it struggles and is not reliable. The ad200 doesn't have an optical trigger. For reliable flash, best to get the radio trigger. This one works great amzn.to/2YTk90L
🙏
Cost efficient
nice
Thanks.
I used my Godox 350o for the first time today. Terrible experience and didn’t t light the subject very well
Thanks for sharing your experience. There are a lot of variables so I'm not sure how I can help here.
Compatible with panasonic s5?
Hi. Sorry for the late reply. Yes, the godox tt350o works with the Panasonic S5. I tried it on my own Panasonic S5 and it worked great.
@@RobTrek yes is worked , :) super
This did not work at all . Think my 350 is junk out of the box
That doesn't sound good. At what point do things start to break down?
Excellent tutorial! Thank you so much!
You're very welcome!
