Godox X2T-N TTL Wireless Flash Trigger For Nikon

Godox does not make solid reliable gear. They make cheap disposable gear. Their flash units break easy. They overheat and shut off. I dropped my previous transmitter 1 foot onto soft dirt and it stopped working. Do not buy these as your main workhorse system. But they make great backups in a pinch. They are excellent to backlight a portrait. They cost so little that when they do break, replacing them is easy on the pocket. They communicate from flash to flash and with a transmitter pretty well. This new X2 is simple to use and much easier to set up then the last generation. But like the flash, the transmitters are the same. They are not as durable as a Pocket Wizard. I would not recommend this if you plant to use it every weekend with repeated shooting. It will fail ... MoreGodox does not make solid reliable gear. They make cheap disposable gear.

Please see my review of the X1R receiver for details. I controlled three Nikon speed lights in TTL and manual. This included a Z9, Z7ii and Z6 with an SB-900, SB-600 and SB-400. Godox firmware was version 1.1.

I bought this trigger to use with a Nikon and flashes previously bought for a Panasonic. While Godox flashes and triggers are made specifically for different camera brands, all the triggers will work with all the flashes. I now have a three flash kit that I can use in all flash modes with my Panasonic G9 or Nikon D850.There are 3 Godox triggers to choose from. The X2 is an update of the X1, for the little difference in price that ruled the X1 out for me. That left the XPro which is an older and more expensive unit. The only advantage I saw in the Pro is that it will control 16 groups and the X2 only controls 5. For me, I don't think I will ever need to control more than 5 groups. Also, the X2 controls 6 different flash modes compared the the Pro's 3. So the X2 was ... MoreI bought this trigger to use with a Nikon and flashes previously bought for a Panasonic.

From the camera I have full control of all the flashes including mode selection and power levels and exposure compensation. In addition to that, Godox has a free app that gives me all that control on my iPhone in an even friendly user interface. Only time will tell about durability, but judging from the build quality, I'm not worried about that.
