Description

Product Overview

The Godox CT-16 is a compact wireless flash trigger designed for photographers who need reliable, high‑speed sync in a lightweight package. Measuring 5.39 x 5.12 x 3.5 inches and weighing just 8.8 oz, it fits comfortably on any camera hot‑shoe. Built by Godox, a trusted name in photographic lighting, the CT-16 supports a maximum sync speed of 1/200 s, ensuring precise flash timing for both studio strobes and on‑camera flashes. It includes a PC sync cord for cameras without a hot shoe and a 3.5 mm/6.35 mm jack for studio flash connections.

Usage

The CT-16 excels in studio environments, product photography, and on‑location shoots where fast sync and portability are essential. Photographers can attach the transmitter to the camera’s hot shoe or use the provided PC sync cord for legacy bodies. The receiver plugs directly into studio strobes or AC‑slave flashes via a standard jack, allowing seamless wireless control.

FAQ

Can the CT-16 be used with cameras that lack a hot shoe?

Yes. The included PC sync cord allows you to connect the transmitter to older camera models that only have a sync port.

What type of flashes can be controlled with the CT-16?

The CT-16 works with any flash that accepts a standard PC sync signal, including Godox studio strobes, third‑party AC‑slave units, and on‑camera speedlights.

How do I set the channel to avoid interference?

Both the transmitter and receiver feature a simple rotary channel selector. Align both devices to the same channel number to ensure a clean, interference‑free connection.

Is the CT-16 suitable for high‑speed sync photography?

While the CT-16 offers a fast 1/200 s sync speed, it is not designed for ultra‑high‑speed sync (e.g., 1/8000 s). It is ideal for most studio and portrait applications.

What warranty does Godox provide?

Godox offers a one‑year limited warranty covering manufacturing defects, giving you peace of mind with your purchase.
