The issue you are experiencing with your Godox X1 trigger and TT350 flash not firing when mounted on your Olympus E-M10 camera, could be related to the camera's settings or the compatibility of the trigger and flash with your camera. Here are a few things you can try:

  1. Make sure the trigger and flash are set to the correct channel and group: The trigger and flash should be set to the same channel and group in order for them to communicate properly.
  2. Check the camera's flash settings: Make sure that the camera's flash mode is set to "Wireless" or "Off-Camera" and that the flash is set to "Manual" or "TTL" mode.
  3. Check for firmware updates: Make sure that the trigger and flash have the latest firmware installed. This can be done through the Godox website or by using the Godox firmware update tool.
  4. Check the camera's hot shoe: Make sure that the camera's hot shoe is clean and free of debris. Also, check that the trigger and flash are properly connected to the hot shoe.
  5. Check the camera's manual: Make sure that the camera is compatible with the trigger and flash. Some cameras may have different settings or limitations that affect the use of external flashes.
If none of the above steps resolve the issue, it may be best to contact Godox customer support for further assistance. They will be able to diagnose and fix the issue or tell you if a repair is needed.
It's also important to note that some cameras have a "pre-flash" that might not be compatible with some triggers, in this case, you should use the manual flash mode to avoid this problem.

SOURCE: Olympus e510 hot-shoe doesn't respond...

Have you tried cleaning the hot shoe contact? If the contact is dirty it may not communicate with the camera. The "contact" Its the metal "circle" in the middle of the hot shoe. Using a pencil eraser, rub the contact gently until you create eraser crumbs, then gently rub the "circle" with a soft cloth. See if this fixes it.

Check all battery contact points! Make sure contact points are clean and are not touching each other.
Wrongly inserted batteries can cause camera or flash to overheat and catch fire!

Do not dismantle or interfere with flash!

The flash unit can give off a lethal shock if tampered with!

SOURCE: I have a Godox EZa-C1... Will it control my Lumix FZ1000.

As it appears to be designed to be used with Canon equipment, probably not.

Testimonial: "Thankyou Tony, it has a number of brands listed in the book... but I suspect that you are right..."

Where do I find the AC Charger adapter for a Godox PB820S Propac. I have look online and can not find the charger for this battery pack.

If you still have the 12V car adapter it ships with, you can buy a 12V supply with a cigarette lighter connector and use that .

You could try contacting their main distributor who lists the complete device :http://www.lightinthebox.com/godox-pb820-backup-external-battery-pack-for-speedlite-vsp-136265_p995394.html , but does not list the charger alone.

Failing the distributor, try contacting the factory. They offer direct contact for support ([email protected]),including skype chat ([email protected] for MSN/skype).

Adorama sells the "Flashpoint" series of devices which seem to be relabeled versions of Godox products, but only sell the 960 larger power pack not the 820.

I read that the 820 DIN cable connector is compatible with Quantum cables. That *might* mean that one of the Quantum chargers *might* work for you, as those use a DIN connector for some of the rechargeable Quantum batteries. I once adapted a wall adapter for charging a Quantum battery pack and used a DIN connector. Unfortunately the Quantum chargers are expensive and there are a number of different models,so it may be difficult to figure out what will work for yo.

When my OM-D 10 is in "P" mode the flash fires but the pictures are very, very dark, obviously underexposed. What's wrong?

"P" mode in most digital cameras is, "Program", meaning that it's really kind of manual. Attempting to shoot flash in this mode is likely to be difficult. Suggest "A", or "Automatic" mode.

Can not load

Same problem. I cannot load my PB820. I know it is not a problem of battery because I tested them. I know it is not a problem of charger (very easy to test, pin 2+ and 5- on the plug). So it is a problem with the electronic.
I am waiting for an answer of Godox.
I cannot find any electronic description of the electronic part - it would be very easy to change any part - but cannot do it blind...

How do you synchronize a non olympus flash unit to an olympus e 500

Install flash on hot shoe and use shutter speed on camera set to no faster than 1/125. Read the owners manul for flash AND camera. Be careful, some trigger voltages may be higher than what your cdamera can handle and may ruin internal flash usage, if not camera itself. better to use a Wein Safesynch hot shoe. This mounts ion hotshoe of camera and flash is attached to this.

Olympus E-500 flash smelling like burnt plastic

You should contact Olympus about this.

Olympus have had a recall on some older 35mm film cameras for problems with the flash circuit.

Please see -
