Godox has rolled out a multi-functional lighting system designed for photographers utilizing several camera brands. The system consists of the iT32 Mini Flash and the X5 Wireless Flash Trigger, which also works as a hot shoe and wireless transmitter. The system is designed to allow a user to seamlessly switch from one camera system to another, as well as provide on-camera and off-camera flash options.

Key Features of the Modular System

One of the most important features of the system is its modular design. The X5 wireless trigger attaches to the iT32 flash via a magnetic base. The X5 comes in versions compatible with the major camera brands, and this functionally allows photographers to have only one iT32 flash if they swap the X5 base for each different camera system, thus streamlining from a bunch of different flashes to one.

When both units are together, the iT32 detects the model of X5 attached and will light up, indicating its type, battery state, and charge status on the flash’s screen. When the X5 is detached from the iT32, it shifts into wireless trigger mode, which can trigger an iT32 or other Godox Wireless X System flashes if you're using multiple flash setups.
