5.0 out of 5 stars Lithium is the way to go! Great flash an excellent price!
I own the smaller version of this style flash that godox makes. In real world use I'd estimate the smaller one to be possibly an eighth or even a tenth the power of this flash. Add the lithium battery which can last more than a day depending on its use and you have a high-powered portable flash with built-in Wireless that can act as either a transmitter or receiver. High speed sync, TTL, the features go on and on. There are of course more Powerball and more expensive portable flashes or strobes as they call them. You need to decide what's suitable for your use. I find I use these more often than any of them and that's for indoor and outdoor use. I often use only one or two of these. Sometimes three. They can take a while to recharge and it's not a bad idea to have an extra battery but I use them for a long time without any problems and didn't have an extra battery. I find most of the items in the kit useful as well. Not bad for freebies!
5.0 out of 5 stars Super happy with it
Everything works perfect. Bought this exclusively because of the HSS (High Speed Sync). If you haven't used flash before do yourself a favor and keep the manual with you until you master it.I bought this with the Godox X2T-S TTL Wireless Flash Trigger and it paired with no issues. It worked on the first try with the wireless and hooked to the A7 cameraThe build looks sturdy, feels good, not absurdly heavy but if you have a lens that is a pound heavy, plus the flash, plus the camera, shooting one handed after a long while will be painfully hard unless you have Hulk arms. I use it with a pound+ heavy lens, plus camera, plus flash... after walking with it for 4 hours holding it in one hand shooting becomes lot heavier than what it feels.
5.0 out of 5 stars Great for weddings and photo events
flash worked well for low light situations. i'm able to get away with using my sony 24-105 F4 for everything when i use this flash. would definitely recommend!
4.0 out of 5 stars Workhorse flash, durable, reliable
20180810: Great flash. I have three of these now. I have used these on a 9-hour shoot and the flash batteries never ran out and the speedlights always kept up. These units will do radio or photo slave, TTL or manual, and strobe. They do HSS, and will also act as a transmitter if you were so inclined to attach one directly to your camera. The units provide beam control up to 200mm lens. My 4th flash is a TT600, but I rely on these V860 units most of the time because the lithium power pack lasts so much longer.20180811: Unfortunately, I must reduce the rating to 4 stars. I sitll like these flashes, but I've found a serious flaw in their design. The mount plate is plastic. In the past, Godox made the speedlites with metal mount plates. Now they come plastic, and -- they break. I had a light stand topple today, not a big topple, nothing catastrophic, didn't even hurt the umbrella, but the acceleration stressed the mount too much and it broke, allowing the unit to come free from the shoe. It still works, but now I have to mount it in an adapter. The unit's mount supports the entire device, which is relatively heavy. Godox should never have gone to plastic for the one small piece that needs to support the entire flash.
5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent low cost flash
I've only had this flash for a couple weeks and haven't really used it a super lot except to figure out its functions. I have to say that Godox has stepped up their game with this flash. It has a great recycle time and a reported 500 full power flashes. I like that it's 2.4 Ghz instead of infrared. I will mostly use it on camera and do not have a controller yet but I like that when I do expand further it will be able to grow with me.
5.0 out of 5 stars A Quality Flash for the fraction of the OEM Price.
Love it, has everything that you need, a little bit heavy though and the accessories that comes with it, feels pretty cheap so don't rely on them. but very sturdy flash and the battery holds the charge very good and last you a day of photoshoot easily.
1.0 out of 5 stars Flash not fully functional
This review is for the Godot V860II S flash, for Sony cameras. This flash has many attractive features, but unfortunately some of them did not work. For example, the flash is supposed to automatically adjust for changes in focal length when using a zoom lens. For that it has both an automatic mode (where the flash adjusts itself and displays that adjustment on the LED screen) and a manual mode, where you can enter the desired focal length yourself, using a settings dial on the back. Neither worked. I could never get the flash to go into the automatic mode (indicated by an "A" on the LED screen). It would immediately default to the manual adjustment mode when the flash was turned on and would not change. When I tried to adjust the focal length setting manually, it refused to adjust, staying stuck at 14mm. Perhaps a problem in the flash software? I don't know, but given this problem I never really got a chance to use it to see how it performed (or if other problems cropped up). A shame really as the flash is attractively priced for the features it offers and does come with a few useful accessories (e.g. a soft box diffuser). It also uses a proprietary battery pack, not the AA batteries my nikon flash uses. That seemed to work ok, but it limits flexibility -- if your battery unexpectedly dies and you do not have another, there are no alternatives. After trying a number of times to get it to work, I finally gave up, called Bolo, and returned it. Thank goodness for Bolo's return policy!
5.0 out of 5 stars Godox is God of Lighting!
I really can't describe how excellent this speed flash is! It is such a great and well-built camera flash. I bought it for our car business and used inside many different modifiers and we were super surprise amazed by the great results. We did research before investing in Godox and everything we found about them was great! We already bought the AD200-Pro after 2 days, and that one was a hell of a deal. We can say that this is almost like Profoto but at 1/4 fraction of price
Best flash
This is the best flash I have used.
I don't know if its defective or suppose to be like this. I charged the battery many times and ...
The battery is drained fully or loses its power after 60 to 80 clicks. I don't know if its defective or suppose to be like this. I charged the battery many times and the results are same. But it states on the website that it is supposed to do more than 600 clicks after fully charged. I will be sending it back shortly.
