Hi guys. I sent this support email to Godox yesterday, and while I wait on a reply, I thought maybe you guys could have a go at the problem I'm having. See below...

I have tested both flash units in MASTER mode, and in SLAVE mode, and the following is true.

1. The master can trigger the slave using the TEST button in MANUAL mode.
2. The master will trigger the slave from the K-1 mII hot shoe in TTL mode and in MULTI mode.
3. The master will NOT trigger the slave when used on the camera's hot-shoe in MANUAL mode. Since I require manual flash, it is important to have this function working.

I have only one Godox flash so haven't played with their set-up, but it could be that you need Godox transmitters like X2T or X-Pro for full functionality?

If you don't require TTL, than you can buy the dumb optical receivers and use almost ANY flash as slave. Note: It won't do HSS, and the master flash needs to be visible to slave unit.

If you don't need TTL and HSS then another option is to to buy the FlashQ transmitter and receivers. They have plenty of benefits: 1) smallest and lightest; 2) can be used on any camera system you have; 3) any flash can be used (for example, I use the ones that recycle faster...doesn't matter which manufacturer or system--you can use one Nikon flash and one Samsung flash with your Pentax camera :-D); 4) set-up is radio-controlled, so you don't need to worry about the master flash being visible to slave; 5) you won't have a flash On-Camera.

Hope it helps.
