About this deal

That's for a pair of RC units only compatible with the latest Nikon DSLRs and Zs with a max reach of 100ft vs 330ft and comptability with every DSLR The user interface is identical to the V860 III’s. The flash supports TTL, wireless master and slave using Godox’s 2.4 GHZ X protocol. Accessories Bernard Dery | Light And Matter Round diffuser Bernard Dery | Light And Matter Barn doors Examples of Godox V1 accessories I looked up local prices. SB-5000 is 479€, Canon's 600EX-II RT is 569€, and the Profoto A1X is 1090€. So, it depends on what you compare with. I haven't noticed a big price hike in Nikon flashes compared to their past history, though when features are added such as active cooling in the SB-5000, greater zoom range, and radio control, it is understandable that the price does increase somewhat. The remote works quite well. It controls flash settings, so you don't have to move away from your camera to switch to HSS or manual power control, and can control up to five groups of lights independently. The XPro TTL is one link in the chain where you'll need to keep AA batteries handy—it's powered by a pair.

If one can live with the somewhat lesser quality ,let's assume it is, but just wants a speedlight for occasional use the difference in money involved together with the added features is hard to neglect. GODOX V1 ROUND HEAD CAMERA FLASH: The TTL Li-ion round head camera flash V1 adopts a round head to offer studio- level soft and even light effects. Its powerful functions and wide range of accessories make it the perfect portable lighting option for portrait, wedding, event, travel and still life photography. The V1 uses a new battery, the VB26. This is a 7.2volt 2600mAh battery. This is compared to the v860ii VB18 battery which has a capacity of 2000mAh I do use NiMH AA batteries in my speedlights. True, they don't get as many shots but this hasn't been a problem for me. I do outdoor shots mostly with Quadra and most indoor shots with Nikon, so the usage of the batteries on the Nikon flashes is rather low on a given day. I just add a little bit of light. I used to do outdoor portraits also with speedlights but run into overheating and that's how the Elinchrom's came into the picture. Nikon have solved the overheating problem in the SB-5000 by using a fan, which seems to work well.In master mode, individual groups can be turned on/off by pressing the group button repeatedly rather than having to press multiple buttons in previous flashes. Ensure that your flash is the appropriate size and weight for your camera and other equipment. If a flash is too large or heavy, it can be bulky to carry and use. In contrast, if a flash is too small, it may not be able to provide you with the power and features you need. Recycle time and power output.

I've employed the flash regularly for product photography and other sundries in the seven months I've been using it, and have only had to dig around to find the small charging cradle three or four times.Yes, it would. B10 is what caught my eye because it's so compact for such a powerful flash and for outdoor use weight matters a lot, as a heavy flash up there in the air needs a heavier duty stand, sand bag etc whereas a lighter weight flash may not need quite as rugged support. A lot of people use B1's for studio work, I believe. For me the Profotos as a whole are a bit on the pricey side, my Elinchroms were bought at discounts and they have worked well, although the HS Plus radio transmitter is somewhat ridiculous in how long it takes to communicate with the flash units to obtain an update of the current settings. I think Profoto B1's in place of my current lights would have been almost twice as expensive, and it was simply not economically practical. But now the B10 and A1 are very appealing to me as portable lights, they are still expensive but at least they have benefits (I'm aware Godox seems to have copied the A1, though I read Profoto is taking them to court). Which brings up another question: do I want to fund a company that invents a really clever and useful thing (the attachment interface and modifiers of the A1, or a company who copies it and sells it cheap)? I have to say that again in this case my priority would go to the original inventor, even if they have additional costs (R&D costs money). I REALLY wish that Godox had implemented the same system as found on the Adorama Flashpoint R2 Pro Mk2and now the Godox XT-2 transmitter. On those triggers, you just double press the group button and the power goes on/off. It's just so much simpler.

Possibly the best thing that has been implemented in this new jog dial is the method of changing power. Since the jog dial is so easy to turn, you need to first activate the power changing option by pressing the left selector. At first, I thought this would be annoying, but it activates a new mode on the dial. By turning the dial you can either change power in 1/3 or 1/10 stops (depending on your settings) or you can press up and down on the selector to change power in full stops. Typically, I’ll make large changes more often than small ones, so this is a great setting for me. TWO YEAR WARRANTY: This product comes with two year warranty meaning that we will repair or replace (at our option) this item if it develops a fault of any kind during the warranty period.

Whether this is because the V1 needs more power to flash. Or if it is just poor battery life indicator (like on the XPro's when using rechargeable batteries), I do not know. It just seems worse.
