New Godox X3Pro F Announced


Godox X3Pro F: B&H Photo

Godox announced a new trigger, the Godox X3Pro F, which is an update over the Godox X3 F. The details are below.

Precise Fingertip Control
Enjoy TTL-enabled wireless flash lighting by picking up the refined X3Pro F Touchscreen TTL Wireless Flash Trigger from Godox. The upgraded Pro model of the popular X3 was carefully designed with a larger 2.4″ color touchscreen to provide precise fingertip control. You will gain not only more room to comfortably slide or tap your finger, but other factors add up in the Pro version—intuitive, responsive, and cost-effective. The FUJIFILM-compatible X3Pro F claims optimized attributes in a still lightweight and compact body. A variety of features have been added here, including up to four multi-group displays, remote shutter control, and AF function. Additionally, there is Bluetooth app connectivity for full creative control. For convenience, Godox includes a pouch to simply store the portable unit. Despite its larger design, the X3Pro F can effortlessly travel with you to all your on-the-go shootings.

FUJIFILM’s TTL Compatibility
Part of the Godox X wireless radio system, the X3Pro F’s 2.4 GHz frequency allows you to effectively and reliably trigger compatible flashes. This version is compatible with FUJIFILM’s TTL system for automatic exposure and metering, which makes it a great option for shooters who need to work fast. Designed for both hybrid creators and professional photographers, the X3Pro F pairs quickly with enabled cameras to work as a straightforward, versatile, and lightweight 3.6 oz triggering solution in the studio or on location.

Reliable Wireless Performance
Get steady wireless connectivity with enhanced performance in high-interference scenarios. The X3Pro F enables triggering across the Godox lighting lineup, integrating the brand’s 2.4 GHz X wireless system with a wide transmission range up to 328′. For ensuring maximum reliability and control, users can set up 16 groups on one of 32 channels and can then access 99 wireless ID settings for limiting interference from other nearby systems.

Pro Shooting Modes

  • One-shoot mode: ideal for single-shooter setups by sending only the trigger signal.
  • All-shoot mode: a great option for group sessions or multi-photographer teams by delivering both settings and trigger signals.
  • L-858 mode: syncs flashes for meter-based control—working seamlessly with optional Sekonic L-858 light meters.

Even More Convenient

  • The X3Pro F debuts a large, responsive 2.4″ LCD touchscreen, while keeping an intuitive menu that facilitates quick local adjustments. It has the ability to function as either a classic trigger or it can connect to Godox’s Flash app over Bluetooth for seamless remote control of settings. Use the app to control power and group settings or remotely trigger flash units. When not using a smartphone or tablet, the functions can be controlled by its high-quality color touchscreen.
  • Control each lighting group and find independent adjustment of TCM, zoom value, and modeling lamp. Users can also save and instantly recall settings to significantly improve their workflow. Monitor up to four groups simultaneously on the main interface of the X3Pro F to independently adjust power, zoom, and modeling light. Besides that, TCM capability transforms your TTL shooting value into the output value in the M mode.

Internal Rechargeable Battery
With the Pro version, Godox maintains the user-favorite internal battery design. The trigger operates using a built-in lithium battery that conveniently recharges using the included USB-C charging cable. Numbers are 2 hours (full charging) and 1 month (standby time).

Optional Receivers
Other highlights are a remote shutter release functionality, timed shooting, and time-lapse options. Unlock wireless shutter control and universal flash triggering by adding an optional Godox receiver. Effortlessly set exposure duration, intervals, and count for single-shot, long-exposure, and time-lapse photography. Trigger via the sync port or using optional Godox receivers to effectively minimize vibration.

Atomos Introduces New Shinobi 7 RX Monitor


Atomos Shinobi 7 RX Monitor: B&H Photo / Amazon / Adorama

Atomos Introduces New Shinobi 7 RX Monitor
New 7-inch HDR SDI/HDMI monitor now includes camera control, touch to focus and wireless video monitoring.

Atomos (9.C05) announces Shinobi 7 RX, a rugged, super-bright, 7-inch 2200nit HDR monitor that’s ideal as a director’s monitor, focus puller’s monitor and program or preview display for video switchers.

While Atomos is known for inventing the monitor-recorder, and its NinjaShogun and Sumo lines are market leaders in that field, the company also offers a range of monitor-only devices. Shinobi II was launched in the summer of 2024 and has been extremely successful, winning numerous accolades. Shinobi 7 RX is a redesign of the Shinobi 7 monitor that includes the camera control and touch to focus functionality of Shinobi II, plus wireless video monitoring.

“With Shinobi 7 RX we have taken everything people loved about the original Shinobi 7 and made it better,” commented Atomos CEO Peter Barber. “It has been one of our most popular monitors and we wanted to bring across the powerful camera control features that were first introduced with Shinobi II.”

“We have also added high quality wireless video monitoring, making Shinobi 7 RX a perfect companion for our Atomos TX RX wireless monitoring system. Whether you mount an Atomos TX directly to the camera, or loop out from a Ninja recorder, you can now monitor wirelessly on set with multiple Shinobi 7 RX units. And with up to 4 wireless video destinations per Atomos TX monitoring transmitter, your director and your client can each have their own dedicated view. It is a versatile, rugged, super bright monitor that we are very proud to deliver.”

Shinobi 7 RX controls a host of Canon, Fujifilm, Nikon, Panasonic, and Sony cameras over USB-C, and Z CAM E2 models through a separate serial cable.

The camera control interface has been designed with a focus on common settings that need to be adjusted on a shot-by-shot basis. The exposure triangle is an essential element of all photography, and Shinobi 7 RX has sliders for adjusting lens aperture, shutter speed and ISO. With immediate and responsive access to these settings, getting perfect exposure on the 2200nit HDR monitor is a breeze, especially when used in combination with Atomos’ powerful monitoring tools. These include EL Zone/ARRI false color, histogram, waveform, zebra, focus peaking and zoom.

The addition of Wi-Fi connectivity provides a stable link between the Shinobi 7 RX and the TX component of Atomos’ TX-RX wireless video system, introduced earlier this year, or an RTSP H.264 stream. Atomos TX-RX delivers low-latency (less than 60ms) HD-SDI and 4K HDMI video transmission for wireless on-set monitoring over distances up to 300m (1000ft). It gives crews the freedom to change camera angles, reposition gear, or even go completely handheld without having to disconnect director or client monitors.

“With Shinobi 7 RX, Atomos continues to push the boundaries of monitoring technology, empowering filmmakers at every level with tools that combine precision, performance, and creative freedom,” concluded Barber.

Shinobi 7 RX Key Features At-A-Glance

  • Super-bright, 7-inch HDR screen with a calibrated peak brightness of 2200nits
  • HDMI and 3G-SDI input and output
  • Camera control over USB-C (see website for supported camera models)
  • Touch to focus (see website for supported camera models)

  • Built-in 3D LUT box
  • Supports 8-channel, 24-bit audio input via SDI
