Godox Transmitter X3 TTL for Canon Built-in Battery 850 mAh

The Godox X3 flash trigger is a compact 2.4 GHz system transmitter with TTL support and an integrated 850 mAh lithium battery. Designed for Canon users, the X3 combines a minimalist form factor with a touchscreen and physical buttons to provide straightforward control of compatible Godox flashes and lighting units. The unit supports TTL, manual and multi-flash modes, high-speed sync (HSS), front- and rear-curtain sync, and offers a backup channel scan and quick synchronization to reduce interference from other users.
