The Godox X5 transmitter serves both as a hotshoe mount and a wireless transmitter, enabling smooth transitions between on-camera and off-camera use. When attached to iT32, it functions as the hotshoe for on-camera shooting; once detached, it automatically switches to trigger mode, wirelessly controlling iT32 or other Godox Wireless X System flashes.

The X5CM model is designed specifically to work with the multifunction shoe on the Canon EOS R50.
