Godox X1R Ricevitore trigger flash wireless TTL per Canon E-TTL II

In a fast-paced wedding reception, a photographer needs reliable off-camera flash without line-of-sight constraints. The Godox X1R TTL receiver for Canon solves this by enabling full E-TTL II control over the 2.4 GHz X system. Mount your Canon-compatible speedlite on the X1R, place it anywhere within 100 meters, and adjust power, zoom, and groups from the transmitter on your camera. High-speed sync up to 1/8000s lets you overpower ambient light for dramatic portraits, while second-curtain sync creates natural motion blur. With 32 channels and 5 groups, you can manage multiple lights in complex setups. The backlit LCD panel makes settings visible even in dim venues, and the 2.5mm sync port allows wired triggering for studio strobes. Powered by two AA batteries, the X1R is a compact, durable tool for both on-location and studio work.

Why choose it

The X1R integrates seamlessly into the Godox X ecosystem, giving you full TTL control over Canon speedlites without expensive proprietary triggers. Its compact size and intuitive interface make it easy to set up and adjust on the fly. The ability to mix TTL and manual groups lets you balance automatic exposure with creative control. Firmware updates via micro-USB ensure compatibility with future cameras and flashes.

Ideal use cases

• Wedding and event photography: place off-camera flashes around a venue for consistent lighting.
• Portrait sessions: use HSS to shoot wide open in bright sunlight with softboxes or umbrellas.
• Studio work: trigger monolights via the sync port while controlling speedlites wirelessly.
• Macro and product photography: position small flashes at precise angles for controlled highlights.

Good to know

The X1R is a receiver only; you need a Godox X-series transmitter (such as X1T-C, X2T-C, or Xpro-C) on your camera. It supports Canon's optical wireless signals when used with a compatible master flash, but for full functionality use the 2.4 GHz radio. The LCD shows channel, group, mode, and battery status. When using AA batteries, expect approximately 120 hours of standby time. The unit has a locking ring to secure the flash on top, and the foot includes a locking pin for safe mounting on light stands.
