[QUOTE="hark, post: 829325, member: 13196"] I don't think you can trigger a non-Godox flash off camera when using your Godox trigger except if it is set to optical slave (never tried it with my NIkon flash so not sure if it is possible). Godox makes the X1R-N Wireless Flash Receiver which will integrate with your Godox system and will radio fire the Nikon flash when using the Godox trigger. Just put the flash on top of the Godox receiver and place it off camera. It [I][B]should[/B][/I] work with your Phottix flashes, too. [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1341962-REG/godox_x1r_n_ttl_remote_controller.html[/URL] Be sure to keep the Godox batteries charged – especially the AD600 batteries. They've been notorious to drain completely making the charger ineffective to get them going. It used to be that the only way to jump start them was to open the battery and access terminals internally (lots of YouTube videos on how to do that).
