V860III-C Camera Flash for Canon Camera Flash Speedlite Speedlight | 2.4G TTL HSS 1/8000s,480 Full-Power Flashes,0.01-1.5s Recycle Time,10 Levels LED Modeling Lamp

I paired the Godox V860III-S with my Sony A7 III and it’s been an excellent combination. Setup was quick, TTL exposure has been accurate, and HSS (High-Speed Sync) works exactly as expected. The flash recycles quickly, even during longer shooting sessions, and the built-in rechargeable lithium battery lasts much longer than traditional AA-powered flashes. One feature I really appreciate is the dedicated modeling light, which makes it easier to preview lighting and helps with focusing in darker environments. The controls are intuitive, and the quick-lock hot shoe makes mounting and removing the flash fast and secure. I’ve used it for portraits, indoor events, and fill flash outdoors, and it consistently delivers reliable, even lighting. It integrates well with the Sony A7 III’s autofocus system, and I haven’t experienced any connection or firing issues. If you’re looking for a powerful, dependable flash without paying the premium price of Sony’s OEM flashes, the Godox V860III-S is an outstanding value. I’d buy it again without hesitation.

Ok, first things first. I don't own an original Canon Speedlite, so my review will not be a comparison with Canon Speedlites. The most expensive speedlite I have (before I ordered this one) was $120 from Amazon (not gonna name the brand here). I was looking for a decent speedlite in the $150-$200 price range as I needed something that I can use both on camera and off camera. I have several other Godox lighting equipment (AD200s, 400 strobe, etc) so it made sense to get this one since it fits nicely with the whole eco system. I had mediocre expectation when I ordered it, and boy was I wrong! This light is WOW! It has everything you need and more: 1. Use as a hot shoe flash: of course 2. Great build quality: Yes 3. Quick lock feature on the hot shoe: Yes 4. HSS and second curtain sync: Yes and the HSS goes up to 1/8000s. What!? For a $200 flash thats wicked impressive! 5. Easy switch between multi mode, ETTL, and manual: Yes 6. Use as a remote flash with Rx compatible with x1c trigger: done 7. Use as a Tx for my other Godox lights: Heck yes! I was so happy it can do this. 8. Zoomable: Yes! To me, the color temperature seemed pretty accurate, so there's that. To be completely fair, I'm not a huge fan of the UI, but I use other Godox systems and it was not too hard to figure out how to do everything I need without looking at the manual at all. I'm sure there are a lot of niche features I may not be utilizing, but in due time I guess. Honestly, I didn't need anything else in this flash. But there are some other cool stuff that I have to mention. It has a dedicated switch to toggle between ETTL and Manual. I didn't think I needed this, but I'm using it all the time now. I did a quick comparison with the Manual and ETTL mode and I almost love it. ETTL may be (emphasis on the may be) a tad bit underexposed (one stop) than what I'd prefer - but I believe it's purely preference. This is nothing a little adjustment on photoshop or lightroom can't fix. Oh, and there is a modeling light! A modeling light on a speedlite at this price point. How do they do it!? And it comes with a Li ion battery (thank god! no more AAs) with a USB C charger. I got way more than I expected in this speedlite. If you're thinking about getting a speedlite, get this one. If you have a Godox system, definitely get this one! And the delivery was super fast as well. I ordered Friday and it got delivered on Sunday. I almost feel bad how fast it was delivered, lol. But who's complaining!?

So far this speedlite has been fantastic, and I’ve had the chance to use it in a variety of scenarios, both in candid indoor/outdoor setups as well as for some controlled environmental images as well, and it has performed great in each situation. I work as a newspaper photographer in Las Vegas so my assignments strongly vary, sometimes I’m using a flash in an event style manner and at other times I’ll use speedlites for quick portraits as well, instead of strobes, since it’s easier to get around with. This is my 3rd Godox flash, the first being the V1 and the second the AD200. Both of them are larger but provide a lot of power/output as well. The V860 III is the perfect companion to these because it’s a lighter-weight and more portable option (easier to handhold, which is something I like to do on occasion), and the battery/overall charges have been really impressive. The one other flash I use pretty often is a Canon 600 EX RT and while it might be built slightly more durably, the V860III seems to keep up better in terms of power and recycle times overall, and I think I’ll go with the Godox more regularly on my newspaper assignments. The 600 is also a little larger, and the fact that I can get more power out of a smaller unit is a major plus for me, too. Another advantage of the Godox is the rechargeable lithium battery instead of using 4 double A batteries, like with the Canon flashes. I also tried using the flash for some product-style photos with an umbrella diffuser and it performed really well in the situation, too. I have a Godox wireless transmitter, the XProC, and it has functioned without any issue together with the V860 III. I’m able to adjust the power levels and more with the built in receiver in the flash, and it has been great. Anyways, I'm glad I added this flash to my kit I’m already thinking of getting another one since this one has been so great.

At first look, The Godox V860 III looks pretty similar to the V860 II, but it has received substantial upgrades in features. Overall build quality is great. The controls are well laid out, it works flawlessly off camera with an X system transmitter and the output is consistent. At under $230, the Godox V860 III is perfect for those who are looking for their first flash, and even for more seasoned flash photographers. The rotating head has some nice resistance to it and the tilt mechanism clicks into position nicely. The buttons offer nice feedback when pushed. The control dial is much improved over the V1, which had some quality control issues. The use of the Li-Ion battery is certainly a perk, at least for power and recycle time. Most flashes use AA batteries, which are easier to come by and cheaper, but never offer comparable performances. I have always been impressed with how Godox lights perform out in the field. The V860 III continues this trend. Once you become familiar with the controls and the menus you’ll find that the V860 III is a very capable light. I suggest getting the system to use it as a Off camera flash instead to create a REMBRANDT as the main light, with a reflector to fill. I included some photos i shot with the Flash both indoor and outdoor. Amazing flash to pair with my Canon R6, separating the subject from the background. I highly recommended this flash for all photographers.

I bought this after breaking my third flash lf the previous generation. Every time I broke one, I looked at my alternatives and didn’t see a better one. So, I was expecting more or less the same. No, this is way better! It fixed a ton of minor quality of life problems with the previous generation. When you remove the flash battery, there is a giant hole in the flash. This might sound minor, but if you have ever arrived to a site to discover you took the battery out of the flash you can see the value. Battery life, cycling time, and power all seem improved significantly but I can’t be sure because my old flash was in such poor shape. Then there is the modeling light. I brushed over the feature when I first bought the flash but for macro photography at night that saves me from having a flashlight in one hand. The sound which goes off whenever the flash is ready can be annoying but it is also amazing. Allows you to keep your eye on the subject and know the status of the flash. My only remaining concern is durability. This is my fourth Godox flash! Still, you can buy a couple of these flashes for the price of a Sony one so hard to call that a deal killer.

cool flash to suppliment my ad200 works well on my canon r6iii with the x2 trigger

This Godox flash is the first flash I have purchased in over 10 years as I usually shoot with natural light. Since I will be doing a wedding photoshoot inside a local aquarium, I knew I would need a on camera flash for my Canon mirrorless camera. I was a bit apprehensive at first, but after playing around with the settings and some practice shots, this flash works fine. Syncs perfectly and easy to use. I’m still trying to get use to shooting with a flash, but so far, so good. One thing for sure, battery must be fully charged before use as it appears to be ship with zero power. A nice carrying case is included as well as other accessories. I feel the Godox V860 III is priced just right. BTW, I bought this flash because Canon doesn’t sell a flash that is compatible with my Canon camera, Canon flash was, apparently, discontinued.

High quality flash at a more approachable affordable priced tag, not the easiest to use, very well adjustable for different situations, definitely takes practice.

Lo uso sulla mia Sony A7RIII. Ottimo prodotto, facile da usare.

Pari all'originale Canon,col vantaggio delle batterie ricaricabili e di lunga durata.E' il secondo flash di questo tipo che aggiungo al mio corredo professionale.

最初から無いと思ってましたが、技適マークはありませんでした。 技適マーク付は、ケンコートキナーから購入するのが確実だと思われます。 説明書は日本語で、保証書もついており、本体の機能にも満足しています。

It didn't come woth what is showing in the photos..its only flash not accessories.

probablement un bon flash, mais quand tous les accessoires
