GODOXV1 V1-S Round Head Camera Flash for Sony, 2.4G TTL Flash HSS 1/8000s Speedlite, Rechargeable Li-ion Battery, 480 Full Power Shots, LED Modeling Lamp, External Flash Compatible for Sony Camera

Good did great. Very good for its price. Battery lasts for ever. Accessories are great. Enough power to do a lot with it direct, bounced or with light modifiers.

I received my flash promptly, but the flash was clearly used and repackaged. There were scrapes and abrasions in the flash itself and the LED display looked worn out and lightly scratched a bit. I’ve purchased a lot of new items and know what used versus brand new look like. As for the device itself, it works. But this should’ve been CLEARLY STATED and a discounted item for, what appears to be, a REPACKAGED return. Now I have to be inconvenienced and find time to return this item. SMH!

This flash uses a round flash head. Similar to the Pro Photo version. Which costs around 800-1000. This version of godox is suppose to create a softer flash pattern. It's a very powerful light source. The total output is 76w/s so it's putting out a nice amount of light. The rechargeable lithium Ion battery pack lasts incredibly long. 500 shots at full power. It used a 2.4ghz wireless system and can work in conjunction with other godox flashes. I use it with the godox x pro-s transmitter up to 100 meters in distance. They now use a locking mechanism on the hot shoe of my camera which I feel is much more secure than turning the dial to tighten the flash. I like to modify my/with a large soft box, a grid, or umbrella depending on the location I’m shooting. It also works really well when bouncing/off of the ceiling and walls creating a nice soft affect on my subjects. The head swivels and rotates backwards A few degrees which is really nice given that the other models do not do this the same way. TTL seems to be more spot on when getting consistent skin tones from your subject. Overall I would recommend this flash. It is high-quality and only a fraction of the cost when compared to pro photos version. It has a lot to offer and I will definitely be using it on my future gigs. I think I would ask does a really good job making high-quality products at an affordable price.

price is a little high you can get a ad 200 almost for that price. I went to b&h got it on sale for $70 cheaper so look around. so I returned it thanks to amazon. the menu is a little strange and not like there other flashes but all in all get its ok but a little over prices for what it is for me

I have been using Profoto A1 (Canon) flashes since they were introduced. I have wanted similar flashes for my other gear, including Sony and Fuji. This V1S is my second v1, the first was for Canon, as I wanted to compare Profoto and Good units. Their output is indistinguishable. I've been waiting for quite some time for a Sony round head flash and grabbed this one when it was recently released. I used it last weekend to shoot about 400 images across several related Saturday AM events (mostly outdoors) and found it easy to use (with a Sony A7R3), easy to switch from TTL to manual and great for balancing ambient and flash in challenging lighting (dappled sun light from trees). I had no overheating issues, (but did not engage high speed sync--which is what most likely would trigger overheating) and the battery seems to go on forever. My only criticism is that the Profoto A1 has a far better interface and is even simpler to use than the V1, but the Profoto costs 3x Godox's price (for the old A1) and 4x the price (if buying Profoto's new A1x.) I've been quite pleased with the Godox V1 and have just ordered the Fuji version. Highly recommended.

I had been using my old Canon flashes with an adapter on my A7iii’s. I hated not having TTL with that setup. For the price, my option was to go with Godox over the Sony flash. I love that this Godox has a rechargeable battery! We used it for a wedding and never had to change the battery all day. Recycle times seemed to be what I use to with my Canon flashes. I have yet to use the radio functions of it. I did purchase the magnetic dome diffuser. It was a nice soft bounce coming out of it, while bouncing into a 12 foot white ceiling in a dark room. The LED light comes in handy when you need a light for something as well. I used to fill in on an available light portrait. It worked great! It also worked great when somebody dropped a glass on the dance floor. 😊 I will most likely buy a few more and replace my huge strobes for room lighting at receptions. Just be sure to order a extra battery in the event you have 10-12 hour day to shoot. 👍🏻

A little bit disappointed. Didn’t get to trY the flash because it was delivered like that

Muy buena inversión

Cons, Its price is a bit high. Shoe is PLASTIC (WHY?) and can be broken. if you lose the charger, the whole flash will be useless until you buy a new one. It is not being ready too fast. You have to wait 2-3 secs for the second shoot. It is too big, could be more compact. I wish I had more flash choices for Sony. Pros, N/A.

Ich habe den Blitz Anfang Dez. 2019 bestellt und verwende ihn auf der neuen SONY A9-II .Der Blitz selber macht einen sehr guten Eindruck, auch zahlreiche andere professionelle Kollegen verwenden ihn seit einiger Zeit, bisher nur gutes gehört.2 Sterne Abzug gibt es trotzdem, denn wenn ich etwas nicht leiden kann, dann ist es irreführendes Marketing und Kunden-Verar*** - Das Teaserbild suggeriert eindeutig, daß hier Zubehör wie Farbfolien, etc. dabei sind (was auch nicht unüblich wäre, denn diese gehören auch bei jedem Canon- oder Nikon-Blitz immer zur Grundausstattung) - in Wirklichkeit ist gar nichts davon dabei, der Blitz ist m.E. ohne das 60,- Euro teure Zubehörpaket AK-R1 nur bedingt einsetzbar. Keine Farbfolien, keine Magnetaufsätze, nichts.

Dadurch dass der Kopf so schwer ist und der Blitzschuh nur aus Plastik, bricht dieser sehr schnell beim normalen Gebrauch. Gibt ihn zwar als Ersatzteil (wenn man Glück hat), aber selbst das ist mir nach wenigem Einsatz gebrochen. Gott sei Dank hat der Blitz trotzdem weiter gearbeitet. Ist ne richtig üble Geschichte, wenn man auf einer Hochzeit ist und der Blitz verweigert auf Grund so einem Konstruktionsfehler seinen Dienst.

No es válido para Sony a 7 IV , le cuesta mucho entrar en la zapata de la cámara hasta el punto de no poder sacarlo una vez que entra . EL flash en si es una maravilla pero al no ser de la misma medida que la zapata sony no siempre se conecta bien .Aparece mensaje de error en la cámara y no hace buen contacto . No creo que aguante muchos usos sin partirse la zapata o la cámara . He provado otros flashes sony en la cámara y entran perfectamente .En internet hay bastantes de videos de como reparar la zapara (esta se parte a los pocos usos )

Ich benutze den Blitz quasi ausschließlich für Hochzeitsreportagen bei der Party, von denen habe ich im Nebenerwerb ca. 5 Stück im Jahr.Keine 3 Jahre alt ist dieser Blitzschuh geworden, bevor er komplett abgebrochen ist. Sprich ca. 13 Mal benutzt, hier zwar dann für 2-3 Stunden, aber in Summe ist das einfach nichts.Garantie, Kulanz oder ähnliches lehnt die Firma Godox ab.Werde also mein Blitzequipment dann zur nächsten Saison ändern, bye Bye godox
