Godox V860iii Speedlite - Complete Walkthrough 

100 times better than the Godox tutorial, thank you!

I'm a new photographer and bought this flash a while ago.. i never used it, cause I had absolutely no idea how to work with it. This tutorial saved me haha. I have an event next Saturday and was sweating bullets, so worried my photos would all be dark. Thank you so much for this video!

This was EXACTLY the tutorial I needed to get going! No rambling, clear and concise. Thank you so much!

Thank you, Sir from an owner of this flash.

Thank you sooo much sir, your way of telling is so nice, and definitely all will understand ..May god bless you always sir

I can’t thank you enough for this detailed walkthrough, I was losing my mind trying to figure out why my flash wasn’t working when I would attach it to the camera. Keep up the good work!

just got my new godox flash and this is so excellent. my Nikon flashes have been terrible... I can't wait to shoot my next event. THANK YOU...

Thank you so much Jesse. I've been waiting for a clear tutorial. This was it. I have this with the X2T. Great combo. As someone new to flash, I eventually got everything working but didn't quite know how. I would hit something and everything would stop working - and I'd spend the rest of the evening in the dark wondering what I'd done wrong. This was very clear. 🙂

Thank you so much for this great full tutorial. I am a new photographer and I really wanted to know how my Flasher works. This video really covers all that I need. Love it!

Thank you for the wonderful tutorial. Great learning experience.

Waiting for my light to arrive, learned a lot already, Cheers, I am sure I will be back.

Very helpful. Not too fast and not too slow

Appreciate the thorough review. Answers all my questions about the differences from the older model and I certainly appreciate the little improvements like the hot shoe locking mechanism, the hidden pocket for the foot and the ‘manual/TTL’ switch👍🏼👍🏼 Cheers from Surrey, BC😄

Thank you so much for creating a straight forward, concise and extremely useful video!!! Love how you sectioned it off with features specific to Canon. Thank you so much!

Excellent excellent lesson . You get top score for very little babbling!!!! I’ll be looking for more from you, this is my first time seeing you. Good job well done

very informative one of the best tutorial on the flash

This was an excellent video of how to use the Godox flash. Straight forward and easy to understand! Thank you!

Thanks Jesse, great job explaining all the functions. You are a really good teacher. Enjoy your videos and keep them coming.

Great video! Thanks for spending so much time on this...lifesaver!!! 💯

This video is GOLD!! And thank you so much for showing exactly how to reset when things go crazy off the rails.

Thank you. Still a great introduction video. Just got the flash and now I am a lot wiser.

Excellent tutorial! I needed to know what was TCM for.

The cleanest, very neat and very organize video tutorial! Very clear to understand. Love your channel.

Its fantastic how you thoroughly go over the features. Nice job.

Excellent. The written manual was not so helpful but this was an exceptional guide for the new user.

These plus a couple of Godox 32" octagon softboxes were a good fit for my use cases.

Excellent, well done. BTW your narrative says you can't have auto zoom when you're in manual mode, but you can - as your visual actually shows. You've answered a few questions I had, so thanks for that.

I just bought a v860iii-s and your video is a god-send. Very well done and very, very informative!

Great overview. Concise and very helpful. I was pulling out my hair trying to get my Flashpoint trigger to work with my flash off-camera. Bookmarked, because I don't remember so well any more.

Finally! A great tutorial on this product! Subscribing!

Wow!!!! Thank you sooooo much!!!! I underused my V860ii flash so much. Will do a lot better after this video....You've just upped my game! Thank you!!!

What a video, I have sean a lot and the was the video that told me just what I needed to know thank you and excellent, it has a lot of tecnical information about the flash

What a great video. So helpful.

Thanks for walkthrough! Very helpful and through!

Thanks King

excellent tutorial. I just bought it and the explanation is helping me to get the best out of this flash. Thanks

This is a great tutorial, I was having a hard time to connect it to my xpro. Thank you very much

This is so thorough, thank you!

Thankyou very much. I was ready to launch this into oblivion,...could not get it work properly, was not reading the focal/zoom ....until I pushed the diffuser back in .5 of a mm and presto . Thankyou. Owe you one.

Thank you so much for this tutorial. Got all my questions answered here! Really appreciate 👏

Why are these flashes so complicated to use still ? I think their manufacturers should take a deep look at themselves and for example the Iphone and consider how can they simplify their product. An Iphone is a highly complex device and yet any child could use without looking at any manual.

Excellent guide, thank you 🙏

Thank you so much for this video. Super helpful. I got three Godox V860IIN Flashes and an X2T. Hoping to do some fun portraits with Nikon Z72. :)

This is so helpful!!! This is my first flash!!! Thank you for the tutorial

Danke. Das hat mir sehr geholfen. Eigentlich müsste der Hersteller so ein Video machen. Eine Bedienungsanleitung auf Deutsch, gibt es gar nicht.

Fantastic video! I really needed this.

Perfect walkthrough. Thanks. 👋👋

Debated between the v860iii or the v1 but got this instead;

Wow, very nice and informative instructions. Thank you.

Excellent tutorial!

I just bought this and the XproC trigger

Thanks!

Nice thorough explanation. Tx

Fantastic tutorial and easy to understand!!

Thank you for this tutorial ❤️❤️

Thank you. You’ve helped me so much.

I'm considering picking this up, the V1, and the AD200 Pro. Not at the same time. I already have a TT600, and the MS300v

This is very helpful. Thanks!

Thanks, that was really informative

Thank´s for a very great video. Hope it also will work for my Fuji GFX.

I missed a moment of using the flash during a macro shot of an insect in the field. I later realized that the camera shutter was on electronic shutter. Flash would operate only in mechanical and 1st curtain. You might want to mention this in your next video. Might help viewers using a mirrorless camera.

Wonderful explaination. Thank you 🙏

👍👍👍❤ Thank you! Subscribed (Colorado).

Thank you u were great

muy bien video , todo muy claro .. gracias !!!

Thank you

Thanks for this super video

good explanation :-) Thank you

wao, great tutorial, i think you forget to tell LED light power setting

Thank you for this walkthrough. I have the olympus controller and the olympus version of the flash. If i buy a canon version of the flash, will it also be possible to use it offcamera with my olympus controller?

great tutorial. Thank you!!!!

Very nice delivery, makes everything clear. Company’s tutorial is the worst (white gloves one)

Very well explained👍

Thx for video. It was helpful. You didn't cover use of led light and power levels with flash. Is this covered on another video?

Thank you 🙂

Note: I've seen reviews that say the new battery has less capacity than the previous version.

In half an hour there's no explanation on LED functions? Or I've missed it?

THANK YOU for this video! I have been unsuccessfully trying to find a GODOX cust. svce. # with no luck. I have been tearing my hair out thinking I had a bad unit because one minute I could adjust the ZOOM and get it in AUTO (very simple), but then at other times, NOTHING!!! Couldn't get it to get off 14mm or get into AUTO mode. I figured out I MUST have a unit with a "floating" trouble in it. VERY disgusted... All the other vids out there never address that problem, nor does the manual. After RE- replaying your ZOOM section and really "LISTENING", LOL, I realized I hadn't snapped back the "diffuser" all the way till it CLICKED! THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!! LOLOLOL LIFE SAVER!!! :)

So far, it's only the 850 that syncs beyond 200/sec, which stinks, b/c it doesn't have TTL; I was hoping to get all features in one flash!

ধন্যবাদ

Great flash, but it has a susceptible camera mount, a sudden jolt will break it!

I recently purchased this flash (didn’t get it yet) for the Fuji X-T4 but I have a Flashpoint R2 transmitter (for Fuji), will it trigger the Godox V860 III Fuji version?

Excellent video, I tried to locate your video concerning the firmware upgrade of this flash. Is this video still available It seems that I can't find it...

AF Assist Red Light doesn't help Mirrorless (Nikon) - They see only Green for focus.

The Godox V860iii is not compatible with the settings of in camera body flash control available with newer Sony camera like A7IV, A7RV. The settings called “external flash settings “ under flash settings in these cameras is greyed out when V860iii is attached on hot shoe or connected as off camera flash. Can a firmware update to V860iii be a solution to make it compatible with a very useful function within camera body to use the Godox flash to its fullest potential like the Sony Flashes? Kindly reply

When I go back to Manual Mode, I have the TCM, the SYNC, but no S1/S2 and nothing for the 4th button.

Buongiorno ottimo video. Con Il flash GodoxV860III S mi ci trovo molto bene, ma vorrei farti una domanda, quando lo utilizzo in TTL con macchina sony quando premo il pulsante di scatto per ctturare l'attimo che voglio io, il flash naturalmente essendo in TTL fa dei lampeggi prima di fare il lampo definitivo e solo allora scatta l'otturatore, quindi scattando in ritardo di almeno 1-2 secondi.... non becco mai l'attimo che voglio....per esempio in un evento mentre scatto un soggettto che mi sta guardando faccio la foto e qunado scatta lui ha già abbassato lo sguardo e la foto viene come non la volevo io. C'è un modo per ovviare a questo? Oppure sbaglio io ? Dipende dallamacchina Sony? Naturalmente rimandeo in TTL altrimenti bisognerebbe valutare la potenza del flash e poi passare in manuale.... Grazie anticipatamente

Excellent video. Very helpful. Can you recommend a TTL off-camera flash cord for the Fuji XT-3?

Hi, very useful and clean presentation. I have been using V1 and expecting to get V860iii in a day or two. The newest Sony cameras like A7Riv and A7RV have in camera body direct flash control for Sony flashes. Do the Godox flash V1 and V860iii are compatible with the same feature where the in body settings can control the flash? Thank you

The instruction book looks pretty thin compared with your great video? Is there other books that pretty well expand the information in a simple way?

When I go to the menu in TTL normal mode, to turn on/off AF assist, I get m/ft, Zoom, STBY, etc. No AF. (Olympus) Camera is set for C-AF; was in single frame AF.

Assist beam is Pooh 🙃

I just bought this flash for my Sony a seven IV however my flash never says I Dash TTL it just says TTL and also I never get the millimeters of my lens showing up even in the automatic is there an adjustment I have to make or do I have a defective flash I’ve tried it with multiple lenses and it never tells me what millimeter lens I’m using all it tells me is what my f-stop is

I am using Canon R10 on focus bracketing mode. The flash doesn't trigger when using this option. Is it supposed to work that way or any setting to make the flash work in focus bracketing mode?

Thank you for the great tutorial. Can the battery be charged via the USB-C port in the flash?

Hello, my question is…is there a way to turn off the flash head and only use the modeling lamp??? Thanks in advance 😁❤️

Sir, Thanks for the full explanation. It's nice and useful. I discovered that my Nikon D7000 has a delay of around 1-second flash after I press the shutter button. Have you ever experienced that? I cancelled delay exposure mode and the problem still exists. Do you know what's going on? Thanks.

Can you please go demostrate how to charge it please

Is there a way to disable the pre-flash function when using the V860iii as a master on comera? I've noticed it will always fire when using off camera flash and Godox says it's a pre-flash for communications. Do you know if this affects photos in anyway?

Can the Xpro controller work with the v800iii flash???
