Flash, from an 18 € trigger to a 165 € studio head
Where it turns up
On-camera flashes, studio flash units, softboxes and flash triggers, from 18 € to 165 €.
The mount is the decision
A softbox speed ring is cut for one fitting, and everything acquired later inherits it. The Bowens-style mount is the most widely copied there is, which is why a Bowens head and a Bowens box can be bought years apart from different makers and still meet.
Where a page can be too short
One softbox listing here has a bullet list consisting of a single slash character: the title carries a 60 by 90 cm rectangle and a Bowens mount, and the six other things that shelf compares — depth, diffusion layers, grid provision, assembly, packed size — are simply absent.
Triggers, and what a radio system is
A transmitter on the camera and receivers in the lights, on a channel, at a stated range. Once a system is chosen the channel and the protocol matter more than the brand on the flash — which is the real reason a lighting kit tends to come from one house.
Bowens mount, named in the title · rectangular, 60 by 90 cm · named for fashion portraits, group photographs and studio work · the bullet list is a single slash character · no depth published · no diffusion layers described · no grid mentioned · no assembly method described · no packed size published
A 60 by 90 cm Bowens-mount softbox at 60 €, whose entire specification is its title: the bullet list is one slash character.
Best for: A Bowens-mount studio head that needs a rectangular source, for a buyer who already knows what the maker builds.
Sony fit · TTL, manual and stroboscopic modes · high-speed sync to 1/8000 s · first and second curtain sync · flash exposure compensation · Godox 2.4G X system, X5S detachable and controlling the flash from up to 20 m · touchscreen · 7.2 V 900 mAh cell, about 70 minutes at full power, recharged in about 70 minutes over USB-C · 10-step LED modelling light · magnetic diffuser, colour filters and a mini stand supplied · no guide number published
A TTL flash sold with its own radio trigger for 107 €, with high-speed sync to 1/8000 and a touchscreen — and no guide number anywhere on the page, which is the one figure this shelf is ranked by.
Best for: A Sony body that needs one small flash working both on and off the camera, inside a system that can grow to studio heads later.
400Ws · guide number 65 at ISO 100 · 1/32 to 1/1 in 50 steps, five stops · recycle 0.1 to 1.5 s · 10 W LED modelling lamp dimmable from 5 to 100 per cent · standard Bowens bayonet · Godox 2.4G X system built in · colour temperature 5600K plus or minus 200K
The one head on this shelf that publishes everything the shelf is compared on: 400 watt-seconds, a guide number with its sensitivity, a recycle time of 0.1 to 1.5 seconds and fifty steps of adjustment, for 199 €.
Best for: A studio head bought to be built on, where the X system and the Bowens mount decide every purchase that follows and the published figures make it comparable.
A 20 € transmitter that belongs to a named system — Godox 2.4G X — fires the maker’s studio heads by name, and has no power switch and no channel count.
Radio system named
The Godox 2.4G X system, named in the title and the third bullet, which then lists what it reaches: the AD100Pro II, AD200Pro II, AD600Pro II, AD600BM II, iT30Pro, V100, V480 and the Lux Master models. This is exactly what the hub above asks for — a system named on the box, with the lights that speak it enumerated, so the consequences of the purchase are visible before it is made
Camera mounts supported
Fujifilm, named in the title and listed body by body in the second bullet: X-Pro2, X-T20, X-T2, X-T1, GFX50s, GFX50R, X-T30, X-T4, X-T3, X-S20, X-T5, X-Pro1, X-T10, X-E1, X-A3, X100F and X100T. One camera system, named explicitly — which is the gate the hub above describes, since the contacts behind the centre pin differ between makers
Channel and group counts
Not published. Five bullets name the system, the cameras, the compatible lights, the mounting and the battery, and no channel or group figures appear. The cheapest trigger on this shelf publishes 16 channels; this one publishes none, which is the odd gap on an otherwise precise page
Remote power control
Yes, but narrowly, and the third bullet is careful about it: used off-camera the X5F can adjust the power of the iT32 only. It will fire other Godox X-system lights and cannot change their power levels. That is a real limitation stated plainly rather than left to be discovered
Metering and sync modes claimed
High-speed sync support, named in the first bullet, and TTL in the product description. No sync ceiling in fractions of a second is published here — the flash it partners quotes 1/8000 s — and no metering protocol is named beyond TTL for Fujifilm
Power source
A built-in 3.8 V 100 mAh lithium cell that charges only when the unit is attached to the iT32, about 3 hours to fill, giving up to 16 hours of standby. The closing bullet also states there is no physical power switch: status is shown by coloured LEDs, and the charge level appears in the flash’s own menu

EAN
0767637542913
A named system with its compatible lights listed by model, from the AD100Pro II to the V480
Fujifilm bodies named individually rather than described as universal
No channel or group counts published anywhere
Best for: A Fujifilm body already inside the Godox X system, where the named light list is the reason to buy and the iT32 is the flash it drives.
Each amount in a write-up is what the listing showed when that page was written. The figure next to the product is pulled in as you read, and it is the one that counts.
