Product Information

A quick-release lock was updated to a quick lever, ensuring the Speedlight locked safe in place while using on-camera.

Switching on through a small slide switch on the back, and after a second, the screen flashes to life.

For the V1 I have the accessories kit - but in the long run - you learn to make sure to have "more industry standard" gear (if something should fail, or even simply if a friend has a modifier you want to try, etc). IF using an inner diffusion though there will be no difference just like if bouncing off walls ceilings or poly boards/reflectors. Duologi is a trading name of Specialist Lending Ltd, which is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (register number 774712 ). Another nice touch, especially for Pros, is that if you have the V1 as your main flash, these cheaper V860III are fully compatible with communication and even share the same battery type.

So you could have two main lights at 50% power in Group A, Two at 25% doing some back illumination in group B and one flash for a bit of fill-in at 10% in group C.Godox has become one of the few companies that reliably pumps out new flash and strobe options on a regular basis. The next check was to take the flash beyond the standard flash sync speed by utilising the HSS function.

I’ve tested and used about six Godox strobes, and it still took me 5-10 minutes to figure out how to wirelessly trigger the flash as a slave unit. If you want to skip the specs you can directly jump to the part where we discuss what makes the GODOX V860III such a great Camera Flash for Macro Photography. Options are further expanded through Wi-Fi connectivity which means that at the end of the test, there really is very little to fault. I very nearly didn’t go with another Godox based on my experience with the V350, given how wildly inconsistent it is when taking focus stacks but luckily the V1 is a vast improvement. The inclusion of the LED modelling light gives the flash an added boost, and the colour temperature remained constant throughout the test.All content, design, and layout are Copyright © 1998–2024 Digital Photography Review All Rights Reserved. And weak as the modelling light is compared to the actual flash, if the flash should bounce off a wall or ceiling, the modelling light will likely anyway not give you enough light to recreate that light for you to "see that light" in advance of the flash firing. Taking the flash out of the box, I did notice that it was slightly larger and heavier than some other Godox flashes I’ve used.
