EOS R5 Flash Trigger Compatibility with EOS R5 Mark II

[VegasCameraGuy]

Will my current R5 flash triggers work with my new R5 Mark II? I've seen conflicting answers to this?

I have the Canon AD-E1 Multi-Function Shoe Adapter on order, but I would like to be able to shoot with my off-camera flashes without the adapter if possible.

Is the trigger Canon or 3rd Party. If 3rd Party there maybe incompatibilities. If Canon only weather sealed speedlites need the adapter.

I use both Godox and Flashpoint triggers. I'm currently using the new Godox X3-C trigger and love its tiny footprint. I have a Canon EL-1 flash but I don't like to put it on the hot shoe as it's so heavy and mount it to a ProMediaGear Boomerang L-bracket when I'm not doing off-camera shooting. Now that I've got my R5 Mk II, I hope to get a chance to test it this weekend.

I don't really care about weather sealing as I'd never take my camera out in the rain.

Hello,

I cannot enable my Wescott FJ-X3m trigger and FJ200 flash into High Speed Sync.  I can get it to fire, but not above 1/200th.  The Flash Function Settings are grayed out with "TTL and 1st Curtain" buttons on the screen.  Westcott is perplexed as well.

Your 3rd Party flash system is incompatible with the camera. This is on them to fix not Canon.

Copy.

Been in contact with Wescott and they are telling me it's the camera settings...

thanks.

Does a Canon Speedlite work correctly. This happens all the time with 3rd Party gear. It works fine on older cameras. But it won't work correctly on newer bodies.

i just have Westcott flashes.  My westcott speed light is the same.

It's a compatibility issue between old 3rd Party gear and a new camera body. This happens all the time with 3rd Party gear.

I use both Godox and Flashpoint triggers on my R5 with the EL-1 flash as well as Godox and Flashpoint flashes. I have never had a problem with the triggers on my R5 Mk 1.
