Godox announced new iT32 iFlash and X5 TTL wireless flash trigger for C/N/S/F/O cameras:

• Godox iT32 TTL Mini Flash
• Godox X5 TTL wireless flash trigger

Additional information:

Meet the iT32 iFlash Camera Flash & X5 TTL Wireless Flash Trigger — a modular lighting system built for ultimate versatility and efficiency. When paired with different X5 versions, one iT32 flash body seamlessly adapts to Canon, Nikon, Sony, Fujifilm, and OM System cameras, offering full TTL and HSS support across brands. The X5 functions as both a hotshoe and wireless trigger, enabling instant transitions between on-camera use, off-camera freedom, and complex multi-light setups. Compact yet powerful, the iT32 & X5 combine magnetic modularity, cross-brand compatibility, and Godox 2.4GHz wireless integration—empowering photographers to shape light effortlessly, anytime and anywhere.

One System, Built for All
The iT32 & X5 offer a universal solution for photographers working across different camera systems. Its interchangeable magnetic X5 hotshoe allows instant switching between brands by simply changing the X5 version. This flexible design helps photographers focus more on creativity and less on equipment compatibility.

Dual Identity: Hotshoe & Trigger in One
X5 serves both as a hotshoe mount and a wireless transmitter, enabling smooth transitions between on-camera and off-camera use. When attached to iT32, it functions as the hotshoe for on-camera shooting; once detached, it automatically switches to trigger mode, wirelessly controlling iT32 or other Godox Wireless X System flashes.

Effortless Multi-Light Sync
Equipped with a built-in 2.4GHz receiver in the iT32 and a 2.4GHz sender in the X5, the system ensures instant wireless communication without manual pairing. When used together, iT32 and X5 act as a master unit to trigger multiple Godox flashes simultaneously. When separated, the X5 can still control the iT32 and other flashes within the Godox 2.4GHz wireless X system, making multi-light setups simple, fast, and reliable.

Intelligent Recognition and Real-Time Display
The iT32 automatically identifies the attached X5 version, displaying key information such as model type, battery level, and charging status on its screen. This smart detection ensures photographers always stay aware of system status, minimizing errors and keeping shooting sessions smooth and controlled.

Magnetic Mounting, Fast and Secure
The magnetic interface between iT32 and X5 ensures a stable, one-click connection that’s firm yet quick to detach. Compared with traditional locking mechanisms, it greatly speeds up setup while maintaining reliability, allowing photographers to switch modes fluidly and capture every moment with ease.

• Refined Design, Built for Practical Use
• Intuitive Touchscreen Control
• Flexible Flash Head
• Built-in Reflector and Diffuser
• USB-C Charging
• Professional Performance, Seamless Compatibility
• Advanced Flash Functions
• Godox 2.4GHz Wireless Ecosystem
• Magnetic Accessories for Creative Expansion
• LED Modeling Light

Recap:

• Overview: The Godox iT32 iFlash and X5 TTL Wireless Flash Trigger form a modular lighting system where the iT32 is a compact flash body, and the X5 is an interchangeable hotshoe mount that doubles as a wireless trigger, supporting TTL and HSS across multiple camera brands (Canon, Nikon, Sony, Fujifilm, OM System).
• Modular Design: Features a magnetic interface for quick one-click attachment/detachment of the X5, allowing seamless switching between brands without manual pairing; the system automatically recognizes the X5 version and displays status info like battery level and model type on the iT32 screen.
• Dual Functionality of X5: Acts as an on-camera hotshoe when attached to the iT32 for direct shooting; detaches to function as a wireless transmitter for off-camera control of the iT32 or other Godox Wireless X System flashes.
• Wireless Capabilities: Built-in 2.4GHz radio transmission for sender/receiver roles; supports up to 80m range (20m in separated triggering), 32 channels, 1-99 IDs, and multiple groups (A/B/C/D, with variations by model); enables multi-light setups and acts as a master unit.
• Flash Modes and Controls: Supports TTL auto flash, manual flash, multi-flash (up to 100 times at 100Hz), flash exposure compensation (±3 stops in 1/3 increments), high-speed sync (up to 1/8000s, or 1/80000s with Sony global shutter on X5S model), first/second-curtain sync, and global shutter sync (X5S only).
• Additional Features: Includes intuitive touchscreen control, flexible flash head, built-in reflector and diffuser, LED modeling light, 2.5mm sync cord port, USB-C charging, power-saving standby/auto-off, and compatibility with magnetic accessories for creative lighting.
• Technical Specs: Guide Number GN18 (ISO 100, meters at full power); flash duration 1/1000s to 1/30000s; recycle time approx. 1.5s at full power; approx. 510 full-power flashes; iT32 battery 7.4V/900mAh lithium, X5 3.8V/100mAh lithium.
• Dimensions and Weight: iT32 measures 56 × 39 × 101mm and weighs 169g; X5 measures approx. 1.26 × 1.26 × 1.06 inches and weighs 23g.
