Godox has earned an excellent reputation for its flashguns, studio and portable flash heads, wireless triggers and wide-ranging accessories. In terms of flashguns, there’s plenty to choose from, starting with tiny, universal units like the Godox iM20 and Godox iM22, right up to the powerful and sophisticated Godox Ving V860III and Godox V100, featuring rectangular and round-head flash tubes respectively.
This iT32 & X5 kit is something rather different, and a bit of a game-changer when it comes to flashguns. The iT32 is the flash side of the equation but unusually, it has no mounting foot. You therefore can’t slot it directly into your camera’s hot-shoe. That’s taken care of by the X5, which connects to the flash with a simple push fit and is held in place by magnetic attraction. The X5 also serves as an RF wireless trigger that’s compatible with the full range of Godox X-system flashes. The kit is a really clever bit of design, the components of which work together with the aim of being one of the best flashguns on the market.
