About 6 months ago I changed my flash system to Godox. It gives great light, and best of all, I have remote control of the flash power and trigger from the camera. They’re also the only brand on the market with a Li-Ion battery. That means they give 3X the life of a set of AA batteries. In fact, they’ll give 650 full power flashes, and at 1.5 sec recycle time. Practically this means I can work faster in houses so get out of peoples hair sooner. There’s 2 models in the \u00a0range; one manual and one TTL. The TTL versions is the\u00a0Godox VING V860C<\/a>\"\", US Link<\/a>\"\". It looks similar to a Canon 580EXII and offers the same features. HSS, Zoom, fill TTL, master slave control. I have a 580EXII… and I don’t use it any more. The 860 is my TTL flash of choice.<\/p>\n

The manual version is the\u00a0Godox VING V850<\/a>\"\".The one I’ve linked to there also contains the FT-16s trigger set that gives the off camera control. Here’s a US link with no triggers: Godox V850\u00a0<\/a>. Triggers:\u00a0FT-16s Tigger set<\/a>\"\"<\/p>\n

These look very similar to the v860, without the TTL. They also have a handy feature that I wish the V860 had… a beep. This is great for letting you know which flash is being changed. Perfect for background and remote flashes.<\/p>\n

I’ll be demoing the flashes as part of my upcoming SWPP talks.<\/p>\n

By way of note, my original set of 850’s were rebranded Neewer TT850. The flashes are identical to the V850, but Godox is the original maker. I had terrible battery problems with the Neewer batteries, but replacing them with Godox batteries made it all good.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[25],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3138","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-equipment"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.seanmcfoto.com\/smcc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3138","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.seanmcfoto.com\/smcc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.seanmcfoto.com\/smcc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.seanmcfoto.com\/smcc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.seanmcfoto.com\/smcc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3138"}],"version-history":[{"count":9,"href":"https:\/\/www.seanmcfoto.com\/smcc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3138\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3149,"href":"https:\/\/www.seanmcfoto.com\/smcc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3138\/revisions\/3149"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.seanmcfoto.com\/smcc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3138"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.seanmcfoto.com\/smcc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3138"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.seanmcfoto.com\/smcc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3138"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
