The Godox X5 is a wireless hot shoe and trigger unit designed for use with the iT32 series and Sony cameras. It operates within Godox’s 2.4 GHz wireless ecosystem, acting as both a transmitter and a receiver for flash control from the camera or when used as a standalone unit.

Wireless control in the Godox system

The X5 supports group- and channel-based control, which makes it easier to manage multiple flashes in the same shooting situation. The system offers a transmission range of up to approximately 80 metres and ID settings to minimise interference.
