Can you use Godox Xt-16s trigger on a Samsung nx body to trigger a Godox v860ii flash??

Hi guys

Ive recently purchased 2x Godox v860ii flashes to use with my Sony; triggered with the Godox xt-1 off camera which works amazing. However, I've also got a samsung nx300 and nx500 and I would like to use these flashes with them. I believe that I can use any universal third party flashes with Samsung nxs as long as I'm willing to sacrifice TLL or other features such as high speed sync- basically I'd have to go manual (also I'm aware that these flashes won't connect to the Samsung hotshoe directly as they are made for Sony)... this correct? Secondly .. I have my sights set on the Godox xt-16s trigger which has a universal hotshoe mount and can fit the Samsung nxs without support for TTL etc. Now, has anyone one had any first hand experience; where the above Godox xt-16s transmitter  triggers the v860ii flash which has a wireless receiver onboard without the need for receiver...or will I need to attach the receiver to the flash via the 4pin connector of the flash to fire it? Furthermore, is the xt-16s trigger compatible with the above flash and will it work on the the Samsung nx's hot shoe mount please? I hope someone will be able to help me here. Thank you guys

So far every flash that can work with a single pin worked with my NX500 and NX1000 (with no TTL or HSS). This includes everything from super old flashes to Yongnuo YN560III/IV and their transceivers. The only thing is that it has to fit just right into the hotshoe.
Regarding the exact model and transceiver compatability, you will have better luck in Studio and Lighting Technique forum.
