The Godox iT32 and X5 Could Redefine Portable Flash Systems With Magnetic Modularity
Godox has unveiled its latest innovation — a modular compact flash and wireless trigger system that supports TTL and HSS across all major camera brands. The new iT32 Mini Flash and X5 TTL Wireless Flash Trigger are now available for preorder for just $98 as a kit.
A Compact, Modular Flash with Modern Features
At first glance, the Godox iT32 Flash looks like a conventional speedlight, complete with a rotating and tilting head, built-in reflector and diffuser, rear touchscreen interface, and an LED modeling lamp. Inside, it packs a 2.4GHz wireless receiver, a 900mAh rechargeable lithium battery, and a USB-C port for charging and firmware updates. It also supports magnetic color filters, adding flexibility for creative lighting setups.
Where the iT32 truly stands out is in its modular design. Unlike most flashes with a built-in hot shoe connection, the iT32 features a detachable dumb hot shoe, allowing it to mount directly onto a camera or other accessories. The hot shoe can also be removed entirely to attach the flash magnetically to the Godox X5 Wireless Flash Trigger.
“The magnetic interface between iT32 and X5 ensures a stable, one-click connection that’s firm yet quick to detach,” Godox explains. Once connected, the flash automatically identifies the X5 version to provide full TTL and HSS support for the specific camera system in use.
Wireless Integration Across the Godox Ecosystem
The iT32 acts as a 2.4GHz wireless receiver, while the X5 serves as both a transmitter and controller. Godox promises a stable and instant connection between the two, eliminating the need for manual pairing.
Interestingly, the X5 and iT32 can also function as a master controller for other Godox flashes with built-in 2.4GHz receivers, maintaining compatibility with the broader Godox X wireless system.
“The iT32 and X5 offer a universal solution for photographers working across different camera systems,” Godox says. “Its interchangeable magnetic X5 hot shoe allows instant switching between brands by simply changing the X5 version. This flexible design helps photographers focus more on creativity and less on equipment compatibility.”
While Godox’s wireless triggers have long supported cross-brand functionality, the modular, magnetic design of the iT32 system introduces a new level of portability and convenience for hybrid shooters.
Compact Build and Capable Performance
The iT32 Mini Flash is impressively compact, measuring only 101 x 56 x 39 millimeters and weighing 170 grams. It offers a guide number of 18 meters (ISO 100), a flash duration as fast as 1/30,000s, and a recycle time of 1.5 seconds.
Users can adjust flash power from 1/128 to 1/1 in 1/3-stop increments, with ±3 EV flash compensation available. The iT32 can also be triggered wirelessly up to 80 meters away, making it versatile for on-location shoots.
Pricing and Availability
The Godox iT32 TTL Mini Flash is available for preorder now for $79, while the Godox X5 Wireless Trigger retails for $19.90. The X5 will be available in multiple versions for Canon, Fujifilm, Nikon, OM System, and Sony cameras.
The iT32 + X5 kit is priced at $98 and will begin shipping soon through major retailers and the official Godox store.
