Here's hoping that Godox has fixed the TTL HSS with this new transmitter

Just saw that Godox has a new transmitter the XPro II. I hope that it allows for TTL HHS off camera with R5 and other R-series cameras. Better yet would be a firmware update for current transmitters but I haven't seen any indication of that.

Yes, Godox has confirmed this new trigger does allow both HSS & TTL on all the Mirrorless R Canon Bodies!

I just order 2 of them yesterday, and they will be here on Sunday.

After all these years, I highly doubt a firmware update to allow this feature will ever come to the older triggers. So I wouldn't hold your breath. This new transmitter model is Godox's solution to the problem.

their business model is not to fix bugs in firmware ( mostly ) but sell you new devices

…That’s great, I have kept my dslrs as I do a lot of mixed flash and daylight location shooting.

If this works with all the R bodies, then I’ll be buying a couple too

Wow that's great news. Please let us know how it works after you've had a chance to play around with it.  I've been waiting a long time for an affordable 3rd party flash/trigger system that works in all modes on the R-series cameras.

I've been using the Godox/Flashpoint triggers and lights on the R, R6, and now R5, and they all work great. Very reliable and affordable system for the Canon mirrorless system in my experience over the years.

This was the one and only issue I ever had. No TTL & HSS together. But they worked 100% fine in either TTL or HSS on their own.

Just to clarify, you're saying the issue of TTL+HSS together was a problem solely when used off camera (e.g., with a trigger), but TTL+HSS together worked fine ON camera, right?

I ask b/c I think there has been some confusion and conflicting reports from folks in the forums about TTL+HSS on-camera (with just a single flash unit like a V860III or V1). However in my mind there was never any confusion about off camera. From my own personal experience (a few months ago) I know that R5+V860IIIC+XproC did not work properly for HSS+TTL together (off camera).

Yes, I've only had the problem with off camera flash using a trigger. I've never even tried using an on camera flash, so I can't confirm if HSS & TTL work with say a V1 on camera......it might though!

Using a Godox XProC or Flashpoint R2 Pro MarkII on the Canon R, R6, R5 with AD200, AD300 or AD400 never has given me both TTL & HSS together, which really wasn't a problem for me, I just shoot HSS in full manual off camera, and everything works great for me.

TTL+HSS hasn't ever worked for me with a V350c flash on camera (on an R6), but that particular flash model hasn't had any firmware updates since 2019. I think it's safe to say at this point that their older flash and trigger models won't ever support TTL+HSS when used on an R body, but maybe their newer hardware will now.

Re: Here's hoping that Godox has fixed the TTL HSS with this new transmitter

I received the new version of the trigger yesterday but HSS & TTL together does not work with the TT685ii-C  or the older TT685 flash guns.

I do believe that they are working with the AD300 pro though.

Re: Here's hoping that Godox has fixed the TTL HSS with this new transmitter

The transmitter does not work with Canon R6 in TTL and HSS mode at the same time !!! Firmware of trigger 1.0. I am disappointed with Godox. I do not recommend buying these products to anyone

TTL+HSS works fine with V1 and 860c II on R5.  Problem only arise with remote flashes.

Re: Here's hoping that Godox has fixed the TTL HSS with this new transmitter

Thank you for this information. I am, like others, disappointed. However, knowing this saves me from a needless purchase. Hoping, but not expecting a future firmware update corrects this flaw in the Godox/Flashpoint universe.

I’ve been in touch with Godox customer support regarding the HSS & TTL issue the Xproii trigger and TT685ii flash..

This is their response

Dear Martin,

Good day!
May this mail find you well.

We suggest you use the M mode and HSS function, that may work.
According to our technicians, for the Canon R6 camera,The TTL & high-speed modes are not allowed. Our technicians are still working on this problem and trying their best to see if there is a solution to this.
Thank you for your understanding. Really sorry for the inconvenience.If you have further questions, please feel free to contact us.

Thanks.--
