Godox Thinklite FAQs
You can buy genuine Godox camera flashes directly from CameraStuff online with nationwide delivery or in-person at our shop in Blairgowrie, Randburg. As an official authorised Godox distributor, every Godox speedlite purchased from CameraStuff includes a 2-year local warranty and a 60-day money-back return policy. All warranty claims, servicing, and repairs are handled locally at our in-house Godox repair centre using genuine replacement parts.
The primary difference comes down to TTL auto-exposure vs. manual power control:
- Godox TT685 II (TTL Speedlite): Features brand-specific TTL (Through-The-Lens) auto-exposure for Canon, Nikon, Sony, Fuji, and Olympus/Panasonic. It automatically calculates correct flash output as ambient light changes, making it ideal for fast-paced events, weddings, and candid photography.
- Godox TT600 (Manual Speedlite): A universal manual speedlite featuring a single-pin hot shoe that fits almost any standard camera mount. Flash power is set manually from 1/1 down to 1/128, offering an economical option for controlled studio setups and off-camera multi-flash arrays.
Both speedlites feature integrated 2.4GHz radio hardware for seamless wireless triggering up to 100 metres away:
- Integrated Radio Receivers: Neither flash requires external add-on receiver dongles. They sync wirelessly with Godox X-series transmitters (such as the XPro, XProII, X2T, or Xnano).
- Master & Receiver Modes: The TT685 II can act as an on-camera master transmitter to control other off-camera Godox speedlites and studio strobes, or function as an off-camera receiver. The TT600 functions primarily as a wireless receiver unit.
- Group & Channel Management: Assign flashes across up to 5 groups and 32 channels to control individual light outputs independently from your camera transmitter.
High-Speed Sync allows you to shoot at camera shutter speeds faster than your camera's native flash sync limit (up to 1/8000s):
- TT685 II HSS Capability: Supports High-Speed Sync both directly on the camera hot shoe and wirelessly off-camera, allowing you to use wide lens apertures (e.g., f/1.4 or f/1.8) in bright daylight.
- TT600 HSS Capability: Supports High-Speed Sync only when triggered off-camera using a compatible Godox wireless transmitter (such as the XPro or X2T). When mounted directly on a camera hot shoe, the TT600 operates at standard sync speeds (typically up to 1/200s or 1/250s).
The second-generation TT685 II incorporates several workflow refinements over earlier models:
- TCM (TTL-to-Manual) Convert Function: Allows instant one-click conversion of an automatic TTL exposure value into an equivalent manual power setting, enabling rapid fine-tuning on set.
- Expanded Tilt & Swivel Angles: Tilts from -7° to 120° vertically and swivels a full 330° horizontally for flexible bounce lighting off walls and ceilings.
- Quick-Release Hot-Shoe Lock: Replaces traditional screw rings with a quick-locking lever mechanism for rapid mounting onto camera bodies and cold shoes.
- USB-C Port: Includes an updated Type-C USB port for straightforward firmware updates.
