Godox just released the new Godox V860iii! So the question is what Godox flash should you get for your Fujifilm camera? Should you upgrade from the V860ii? Should you switch from the Godox V1? If you're in the market for your first flash, which one should you pick between the Godox V860iii vs Godox V860ii vs Godox V1? In this video, I review the V860iii and compare it against the other two, so you know which is right for you!

Looking to create some flash/off-camera flash content in 2022. What questions do you have? What do you want to learn/see?

@spyhunter6411 2 года назад

I would like a solid mobile kit for doing portraits outside with kids. We go to a bunch of parks and historic areas, and I have been trying to find the smallest, easiest kit, that gives good fill lighting while properly exposing the background, that I want in the photo in the first place. Small enough to be easy, but strong enough to work outside...is the tough part. Side note, I feel like the battery didn't need to upgrade, I feel like the battery in the ii was so good.

@Reggiebphoto 2 года назад

For me personally the battery sucked for wedding photography. It constantly overheated and now that problem is resolved.

@spyhunter6411 2 года назад

@@Reggiebphoto I belive that, I'd don't do weddings, so that makes sense. Edit, I do mostly portraits if I'm doing flash, and in that context, I've never had an issue. I do image that in a wedding it gets thumped on more.

6:28 - just wanna say this sold it for me. Despite me being a Sony user your video was the only one that I’ve seen so far to actually show how the shape of the beam is different on a blank surface rather than always on a person / subject. I saw that Magmod2 is out for V1 users at the same price - initially like your video at the time of it posted, the fact that magmod didn’t have accessories for V1 made me lean to the 680iii.

@frankiecalabro2617 2 года назад

The v860iii has the modeling light shooting straight on, because it’s better for low light events to assist the camera in attaining focus quickly, giving the photographer the ability to still bounce the light. The v1 can’t do that unless you point the flash directly at the subject. That’s why the 860iii is the perfect low light event flash!!!

@Reggiebphoto 2 года назад

That isn’t a modeling light then. It’s an af assist light

@frankiecalabro2617 2 года назад

@@Reggiebphoto exactly! I think the wording is incorrect, either way what a great innovation for event photographers in crappy low light like I see at a lot of my events.

Hi Reggie. I often get a clear light shadow bar on each and every picture depending on what side I use on my Godox V860iii. It fails to give a full light spread, like a straight vingette but on one side only. I have used 1/1 full flash in manual mode and I use 50 zoom mode with of my 50 mm lens. Latest photos with this issue had a shutter speed of 80 and f.4.0, iso 400 on a canon 5dsr, so clearly not a sync problem. Could it be resolved with a firm ware update?

It's much better that the "modeling lamp" is facing forward. This way if your mirrorless camera can't focus due to super dark lighting conditions you can turn that on so the camera can lock focus. If you're bouncing the flash and the light was on the head then it wouldn't work as a good focus assist beam.

@Reggiebphoto Год назад

that would be an af assist lamp, not a modeling lamo. all I'm trying to say is let's define the actual function of the light to be accurate to what it is designed for.

@BryanKeithPhoto Год назад

@@Reggiebphoto he's right. That's what this modeling lamp is for. Mirrorless cameras can't see the AF assist beam, so they implemented the LED modeling lamp.

@michelmonney Год назад

Yes, you are right. I don't see it as a modeling lamp at all. It's to assist while focusing. If it were intended as a modeling lamp it would be located as close as possible to the flash tube. Also it would have to follow the illumination angle. Useless otherwise. Just my opinion ion of course.

So overall which one better for pre-wedding and wedding day moment, godox v1 or v860III ?

@Reggiebphoto 2 года назад

It ultimately depends on what flash head shape you prefer and if you plan to use attachments. If you have no preference or don’t plan to use the Godox specific attachments, then go with the cheaper option V860iii.

@steve7015 2 года назад

Great video Reggie. Really valuable info. I'm thinking about getting the Godox V860iii for studio portraits. (off camera) And I'm wondering about the quality of light. Some are saying even in a softbox the light is still harsh. What are your thoughts.

@Reggiebphoto 2 года назад

With a modifier, the lighting is all due to the modifier itself. If the light is too harsh, maybe up the size of your soft box.

Thanks for such a useful video, Reggie. I ended up going with the v860iii. So far it has been working well for me. The only thing I don’t understand is why I can’t enable the manual flash mode in-camera (I use the X-T3). On the flash’s screen, it does say “M” and I’m able to control the exposure settings. However on my camera screen it stays at TTL and whenever I try to change it to M in the settings, the M is just greyed out. Do you know what is causing this and how to fix it? I’ve tried googling for a solution but it doesn’t seem to be a common issue. Thanks Reggie.

@alexanderrecchia2327 2 года назад

I have the opposite problem I can use it only in manual on the camera like Fuji doesn't recognize it. And if I want to use the ttl mode I need to use with the trigger xpro.

Other than that any hot shoe issues

@noble78b Год назад

I have the same problem!!. I am going to send it back, I'm currently looking for something else. Amazon says it's not compatible. I just noticed that I purchased the V1c instead of the V1F. So I'm sure this is my issue.

@spiroszaharakis2648 2 года назад

I think it's a mistake that Godox advertises that light as a modeling light. It should be just called a video light for hybrid users. That way if you happen to shoot both photos and videos you can have one unit on the camera for both purposes. I find the "modeling" light "advantage" of being on the flash head on the V1 useless as such because it is pretty weak to make any difference once you point it away from the subject. Again, it only makes sense if it is used as a video light.

@Reggiebphoto 2 года назад

I agree

@0LucasP 2 года назад

i dont know if someone ask, said before but offcamera flash can be used to high speed shot, when u have the flash plugged on camera u cant do that so u still needed trigger.

@paulneedham9885 27 дней назад

If you had the modelling light pointed up it wouldn’t reach your subject in most cases so that would be pointless. Good for straight on flash tho!

got this one. but the unit is acting weird. It's changing it's mode on it's own, even if i turn off the TTL 🤣

@o0tosci0o Год назад

basically the same yes, 1 stop better on 860iii

@mandofan2616 6 месяцев назад

wow, o k so I disagree on the placement of the modelling light on the V860iii. For a canon shooter, its perfect for low light situations where the new mirrorless system, doesn't allow AF assist beams from Speedlight's, so in dark clubs etc, this is so handy for assisting in focusing. I don't use direct flash, so putting the lamp inside the flash from facing doesn't work, having it below means whether you front face or bounce the flash, you have the lamp there on the lower end of the body if you need it. I've had to use torches to assist with focusing, thats how bad the R6ii is in low light.

@Reggiebphoto 6 месяцев назад

Don’t call it a modeling light then. Call it an af assist beam.

@jonbanks653 Год назад

Why does the V860III have no bounce head?

@caleidoo 2 года назад

3:15 Seriously? What tiny LED light is going to be so powerful, that it is going to model a bounce strobe light off a ceiling? It makes no sense, to expect that. It's just a tiny video light. For a quick movies while your flash is on your camera.
