Updated October 31, 2026

Our verdict

The GT1 is a compact 2.4GHz trigger accessory for photographers who already own a compatible speedlight and want a small transmitter/receiver or raised hot shoe. We recommend it only after you confirm your camera and flash workflow and how many physical units the kit includes. Photoolex lists a Godox channel 5 pairing, but the page does not give a complete camera compatibility matrix or establish TTL support.

Best for

Photographers who already own a compatible speedlight and want a very small radio trigger/receiver or flash riser, after confirming camera fit, flash pairing and package quantity.

Choose another if

You need confirmed TTL or high-speed sync support, a complete camera-specific compatibility list, or a guaranteed transmitter/receiver pair in the box; you do not already own a flash.

The Photoolex GT1 is a small wireless flash-control accessory, not a speedlight. It is meant for photographers who already have a compatible flash and want to place that light away from the camera, or lift an on-camera flash shoe. The useful question is whether its transmitter and receiver modes fit your current camera and flash, and whether the product listing includes the number of GT1 units your setup needs.

A compact trigger for an existing flash

Photoolex describes the GT1 as a 2.4GHz unit that can switch between transmitter (TX) and receiver (RX) modes. The product page says one transmitter can control multiple receivers. A typical wireless link needs a transmitter at the camera and a receiver at the flash, so check the package quantity before assuming that a single listing supplies both ends. The product details do not clearly state how many physical units ship.

The unit has a hot shoe on top and a hot foot on the bottom, according to Photoolex, and the product page also describes it as a flash riser. That gives the tiny accessory more than one possible role in a kit, but it still depends on a separate flash and an electronic pairing that works with your camera.

Confirm the exact camera and flash path

Photoolex lists Godox flash triggers on fixed channel 5 as compatible and advises buyers to confirm their workflow. It does not provide a complete camera-body compatibility table for the GT1. A shoe that physically fits is not proof that the camera and trigger exchange the electronic signals your flash setup needs.

Before buying, confirm the exact camera, GT1 quantity, flash model and trigger pairing with Photoolex. The current product details do not establish TTL or high-speed sync support. If your work depends on either feature, choose a system with explicit support for your camera and flash rather than assuming the 2.4GHz connection supplies it.

Small body, manufacturer-stated range and charging

Photoolex lists the GT1 at approximately 3 × 4cm and about 20g, with a built-in 3.7V 200mAh battery and USB-C charging. Its product material states a wireless range up to 30m. Those are manufacturer specifications, not CameraTested measurements. The page does not describe the conditions behind its range claim.

The compact body makes the GT1 easier to pack alongside a speedlight than a larger control unit. If you need a dependable long-distance or event-critical link, confirm the actual camera and flash pairing before relying on the published range figure.

Price and partner code

Photoolex’s U.S. product feed listed the default GT1 variant at $24.99 USD on October 31, 2026. The listing identified variant 48406447653086, SKU PH-326-PL, and marked it available at that time. This is a dated listing snapshot, not a future stock promise.

Photoolex’s partner record supplies SEBASTIANBASSOL for 12% off eligible products. Eligibility for this GT1 variant, exclusions, expiry and sale combinations are not confirmed. No GT1 cart was checked, so this review does not calculate an after-code price. Confirm the code and final order total before paying.

Buying recommendation

We recommend considering the GT1 when you already own a flash that Photoolex confirms will pair with it, want a compact TX/RX accessory, and have verified whether the listing includes enough units for your setup. The stated 2.4GHz operation, small body and USB-C charging are useful on paper for a lightweight lighting kit. If you need TTL, high-speed sync, a known two-unit package or camera-specific assurance, get those details in writing before ordering. Our video lighting basics guide covers light placement and the broader setup decisions a trigger alone cannot answer.

Who is the GT1 Mini Flash Trigger Kit best for?

Photographers who already own a compatible speedlight and want a very small radio trigger/receiver or flash riser, after confirming camera fit, flash pairing and package quantity.

Who should skip the GT1 Mini Flash Trigger Kit?

You need confirmed TTL or high-speed sync support, a complete camera-specific compatibility list, or a guaranteed transmitter/receiver pair in the box; you do not already own a flash.

Does the GT1 kit include a transmitter and a receiver?

Photoolex's current product selector shows one default listing, but the product details do not clearly state the number of physical units in the package. The GT1 can operate in TX or RX mode; confirm the included quantity before planning a wireless camera-to-flash pair.

Which flashes work with the GT1?

Photoolex lists Godox flash triggers on fixed channel 5 as compatible and asks buyers to confirm their workflow. That statement does not confirm every Godox flash, trigger or camera combination, so check your exact setup with Photoolex.

Does the GT1 support TTL or high-speed sync?

The current product details describe 2.4GHz TX and RX modes but do not establish TTL or high-speed sync support. If either feature is required, confirm it with Photoolex before ordering.

Does the GT1 include a flash?

No. The GT1 is a flash trigger accessory. You need a separate compatible speedlight or flash for the lighting setup.

How far can the GT1 trigger a flash?

Photoolex lists a wireless range up to 30m. That is a manufacturer figure, not a CameraTested range measurement, and the product page does not specify test conditions.
