Godox X2T Radio Controller -- Complete Walkthrough

This is a video guide for the X2T radio controller, and the Godox smartphone app.

REMOTE FREEDOM
The X2T TTL Wireless Radio Transmitter is the updated version to our popular Strobepro/Godox XT controller. We've taken everything you loved from that controller and made it better. This controller is fully compatible with all Strobepro and Godox lights.

THE STROBEPRO DIFFERENCE
Strobepro is the largest distributor of Godox products in Canada. Give yourself peace of mind with Strobepro's helpful staff, 2 year warranty, and Calgary based service centre with our industry leading support.

NEW BUTTON LAYOUT
You now have dedicated buttons for each of the 5 groups on the top of the controller, making it super easy to access and see all your fast.

NEW DIAL PLACEMENT
We've moved the dial down to the bottom left. Now you can keep one hand on the camera grip and use your left to adjust the dial.

NEW QUICK LOCK
Gone is the turn dial and replaced with a simple lever lock. No more need for tiny fingers!

BLUETOOTH BUILT-IN
Download the Godox Photo App and have full control directly from your cell phone. Plus take pictures with your cell phone and have all your Strobepro & Godox lights under your smartphone control.

ALL NEW BIGGER HD LCD
THe LCD is not only bigger, its brighter and a lot easier to use thanks to its menu redesign. Find common functions easily at the push of a button.

ADJUST IN 1/10TH INCREMENTS
That's right now you can adjust your compatible strobes down to 1/256 in 1/10th increments for the most precise control.

TTL & HSS
You’ll have TTL automatic or manual control if you prefer, all with full HSS at up to 1/8000s shutter speeds.

FOCUS ASSIST BEAM
Don’t get stuck in low light. The dedicated focus assist beam switch allows you to quickly project a grid assist pattern if needed.

5 GROUPS
Add full control in up to 5 separate groups.

32 CHANNELS
You’ll never have interference again with 32 channels. Plus you now have the ability to auto seek the best channel.

HUGE RANGE
328 foot range. If you find yourself in need of firing your flash a few blocks away, we’ve got you covered.

Excellent instructional video. I had a problem with my trigger. I knew it was operator error but couldn't figure it out. After watching your video, it was plain as day. Thanks for the help!

The best tutorial video I've seen. Can I mount and use a Neewer Camera Wireless Timer Remote NW-870 on top of the Godox X2T Radio Controller, can the Godox x2T handle what I need.

Hi, I went out and bought a X1R-N as you suggested but I can't get it to work. After following all your instructions I set my X2T to all the correct channels and also to full power 1/1.
First problem, even when only 1 metre from my subject the cameras histogram never displayed an overexposure, the output only ever reached about 60% of the histogram at full power.
Changing the power output of my SB700 to say ¼ power had no effect on the histogram. All changes I made to the flash power never changed the histogram. I was under the impression that if I changed the FEC I would see the difference on my histogram, going from -3.0 to +3.0 also did not change the histogram either.
My X1R channel and group are set to the same as the SB700 and the X2T.
The flash is set to TTL and the X2T trigger to Manual as suggested.
After trying everything I could think of, I still can't get an overexposed histogram in any mode.
In it's current state it is useless, hoping you can help me out, to sort the problem
Regards and thanks Michael

Hello, thanks for the great in depth instructions! One question; I'm going to photography a model train setup and I'd like to show motion. Will this controller fire several Godox TT685C's in Rear Curtain / Second Curtain Sync? I gather they all need to be in the same group.
