Works Great

I'll Admit It Took A Little Bit To Charge But Once Charged It Worked Great.

Locking pin broke my camera Hot Shoe!

By Ryan

Be careful and note the locking wheel needs to be fully retracted to the top most position before removing from your camera. I didn't know this and the locking pin was still slightly down and it broke my hot shoe when removing it from the camera. I tried four different flash units and my hot shoe will no longer fire. I wasn't even able to take any photos with this new flash because of this, but I will say it looks cool and seems to be made well.

Asked by: Jekizan
Yes, the Godox Lux Cadet Retro Camera Flash will work on the FUJIFILM X-T5 Mirrorless Camera. The flash is not camera-specific and uses a single-pin contact point on the foot of the flash, allowing for manual flash only—it does not offer TTL.

Will this work with the Leica IIIf?
Asked by: Audrey
The Godox Lux Cadet Retro Camera Flash is not compatible with the Leica IIIF, which has only a cold shoe (not hot shoe) and would require a PC cord between the flash and the camera. The Godox Lux Cadet Retro Camera Flash only has a 2.5mm external flash connection, not a PC terminal.
