About this deal

PAST BYLINES: Gear Patrol, PC Mag, Geek.com, Digital Photo Pro, Resource Magazine, Yahoo! News, Yahoo! Finance, IGN, PDN, and others. That’s a lot of money to pay for a speedlight and the SB5000 wireless features don't even work on any Nikon older than the D500. Optic transmission with even illumination and stable output. 2.4G wireless transmission with all-in-one functions and 100 meters further transmission distance.

The connecting joint on the tt685s that attaches the body and head of the flash together offer a full 0-360° horizontal pan with a -7-90° verticle tilt to allow you to easily bounce the flash when needed. Although a few compeating camera flashes on the market in this price range also offer a full 0-360° rotation these days, the majority don’t so it is nice to know that you can fully rotate the Godox tt685s if needed. Additionally, the actual connection joint on the flash unit is solid and does not feel weak or as if you are about to rip the flash in two when adjusting its pan or tilting angles either. It isn’t a flash I would recommend for an amateur photographer looking for their first speedlight. The menu options are just too confusing due to the amount of features it has. For them I would recommend either the Shanny SN600SN or Pixel X800N standard. For the way I work, the pluses outweigh the minuses. If you are a professional wedding photographer then I would certainly urge you to give this range serious consideration. Where to buy

When looking at the positives of using each type of battery above, you’ll probably start seeing which model may be more your flavour. However, before you rush off to buy one there are more things to consider! Recycle Time Well, what can we say? It’s a flash. The Godox TT685 II N has image quality that you wouldn’t be able to tell apart from Nissin, Profoto, Yongnuo, Flashpoint, etc. Flashpoint by Adorama often rebrands Godox lights anyway. If anything, just know that it’s pretty weak still. If you’re using f2.8 zoom lenses, you might find that the Godox TT685 II N outputs too little light. So with that said, you’ll go for exposure compenation or put it in manual mode. If you’ve been using flashes for years though, this is nothing else. At wider apertures, it will do a pretty decent job for sure. Extra Image Samples On paper it does absolutely everything I want it to do plus a few things I wish they didn’t (Hello optical mode I mean you!). The hotshoe issue shook my faith a little and it really isn’t the most intuitive flash to start using. The flash head is only 8.2 x 3.3 x 3.7 inches while coming in at only 1.15 pounds of weight too making it very easy to place in your kit bag without needing much space or adding much weight. If you are in a niche where you travel around via plane with all of your gear the lightweight of the flash unit can help ensure you stay within your baggage weight allowance. Operation is intuitive with a rear LCD panel that shows settings. Also, the flash is equipped with a Wireless Control Port for attaching an optional remote control set and it has a 3.5mm sync port for basic wired connectivity. It runs on four AA batteries, which help provide a recycle time of 0.1-2.6 seconds.

It can be used as an on-camera flash, as an on-camera master to trigger other off-camera flashes, and as a slave flash off-camera. The Godox tt685s supports manual mode, slave mode, auto flash, and i-TTL II allowing photographers to integrate it into their photography sessions no matter the situation or their needs. Being fully 2.4G compatible the flash is usable by the majority of wireless technologies on the market right now allowing you to integrate your tt685s into a multi-flash setup without issue and use a number of wireless remote control flash triggers with the setup too. Tương tự như nhiều đèn khác của Godox, Godox TT685 cũng được trang bị hệ thống điều khiển không dây 2.4GHz, cho phép người dùng có thể điều khiển các chức năng của đèn từ xa ở khoảng cách 100m với bộ điều khiển tương thích. Giúp bạn không cần phải luôn đứng bên cạnh đèn để điều chỉnh từng thông số. Godox like their competitors have seriously upped their game in terms of the plastics used. Compared against the Nikon SB910, it feels just as solid. I like the simplicity of the on/off switch although it has caught a couple of times when I've put it into my bag and turned itself on. My simple fix is to put them in my bag upside down!I have no finger nails so I find it impossible to get the bounce card/wide angle diffuser up without using a coin or something to lever it out. One noticeable feature that's missing is the fact you cannot remotely change the zoom on slave flashes's. If Yongnuo can do it on the basic 560's, why can't Godox?? That would have been the icing on the cake. C'mon Godox close but no cigar here. It's not a dealbreaker but it would have been good to see. TTL ACCURACY It has all the same features as the TT685. So it supports TTL and HSS. Using master mode you can control remote slave flashes. You still can't adjust zoom on a remote flash from the LCD.

Runs on a 2.4Ghz radio connection – very impressive given more expensive flashes in the market run on optical line-of-sight only.BasicallyI've got a very eclectic range of equipment none of which talk to each other. What a pain! I've made it work for me but it's far from ideal.I briefly flirted with the idea of getting the Ving 860's and standardising on the FT16 triggers but what stopped me was having to use the little clip on FT-16S receivers. I was bound to lose them and in effect they were external receivers albeit small ones. Plus the FT16's use the 433Mhz frequency and many people have complained as a result the range was poor. In our opinion, Godox and Neewer both have an excellent build quality on their cheaper flash units ensuring that the tt685s is nice and tough while also being as small and light as possible too. If you work in photography niches where you have to travel with all of your camera accessories in a kit bag, the robust nature of the Godox tt685s ensures that it can easily take the bumps coming it’s way from the other gear in your bag without issue.

As we have touched on a few times throughout the article now, the design of the tt685s offers some excellent protection against overheating even if you are using flash settings that can potentially generate a ton of heat. There are two main tweaks that Godox has made with the tt685s to do this with the first being increased airflow in the flash unit to maximize heat dissipation and the second being its battery housing as shown in the image above. GN60 (m ISO 100@200mm) and 22 steps of power output (1/1-1/128). Approx. 0.1-2.6s recycle time, 230 full power flashes (using 2500mA Ni-MH batteries). Support TTL/M/Multi/S1/S2. Auto/Manual zoom head from 20 to 200mm. Support USB firmware upgrade. This a review of the Godox v860ii speedlight or Ving 860 mark ii if we're being completely accurate but the short version is just easier to type. This flash is the successor to the very popular Ving 860 flash which was I think the first speedlight to use li-on batteries instead of the traditional 4xAA batteries.

I suspect this is as a result of the swaying motion if like me you use a Spider Holster or any strap system where your camera dangles upside down whilst you walk. The Shanny ever so slightly over exposes the subjects compared to the other two. Whereas the Godox's flash exposure is identical to the SB910. In short the Godox TTL meteringdoes it's job. FLASH POWER OUTPUT Now we’ve established what the TT685II has over the original model, let’s have a look at deciding between the two fresnel-headed speedlights. There are a number of differences between the models despite them looking almost identical. Battery So here's where we use the flash in the real world. In my case to photograph weddings in Nottingham. So far,I've used it at three weddings so I think I've got to know this flash quite well. The Li-Ion batteries are interchangeable with other Godox flashes (AD100Pro, V1 and V860III for example)
