Overview

The Godox YZP-CTR-16 Wireless Radio Flash Trigger Receiver is designed to give photographers and videographers a straightforward way to fire off-camera flashes without a physical cable connection. Operating on radio frequency rather than optical or infrared signals, the CTR-16 does not require line-of-sight between the transmitter and receiver, making it practical in bright outdoor conditions and around corners where optical triggers often fail. With 16 selectable channels, it provides enough flexibility to run multiple independent lighting groups or avoid cross-triggering from other wireless systems being used nearby.

As a receiver-only unit, the CTR-16 is intended to be paired with the corresponding Godox CTR-16 transmitter mounted on the camera's hot shoe. The receiver attaches to your studio strobe or speedlight via a sync cable and fires the flash when it detects the radio signal from the transmitter. This is a manual-trigger-only system, meaning it does not pass through TTL metering data or support high-speed sync — flash power must be set directly on the flash unit itself. For photographers who prefer or are accustomed to working in manual mode, this simplicity is an advantage rather than a limitation, and the low price point makes it accessible for building multi-light setups on a budget.
