Video Description -
Hi all! Today we are talking about the Godox V1 Round Head Flash/Speedlight. Before I say anything else… I think this is one of the most compelling on camera flash/speedlights on the market right now.
The Godox V1 (AKA Flashpoint Zoom Li-On X R2 from Adorama). This is an interesting thing, I recently looked at the Godox AK-R1 round head accessory kit and the Godox H200R (the round head flash attachment for the Godox AD200) and I am enjoying the whole round head thing.
I recently did an overview/unboxing of the Godox V1 ( • Godox V1 Round Head Sp... ) where I went over some technical specs, what comes in the box, and physical features of the flash.
I have used the Godox V1 for a few weeks and have some final opinions on the flash. In fact, I have some examples at the end of the video on who the Godox V1 flash is best for, and who it’s not a good fit for.
Over all, with a round head speedlight the light has a much softer and appealing look. Speedlights with the fresnel style quality can be a big harsh unless otherwise diffused or bounced. What I have been noticing is that I take much less effort to make the light work for me in practice. Your results may vary based on the photography you are doing, but when looking into any of these flashes I look to what I use it for and what I imagine the general user might use it for.
I like the compatibility with the Godox AK-R1 round head flash kit.
I like the quality of light and how easy it is to achieve excellent results.
I like the way it can interface with my cameras TTL information.
I like the compatibility with the Godox ecosystem of flashes and triggers like the Godox XPro.
I don’t like the lack of continuity between battery types with Godox - but that's not as much of a comment on the speedlight as it is Godox as a whole.
And you have a bit of a tradeoff with the round head and the power output and distance that the flash is effective in.
Probably most annoyingly, with one attempt that Godox had made trying to make the physical button layout easier, they built in an ergonomics problem - which I go over in the video.
Compared to flashes in its weight class, it is an answer to the Profoto A1, which this does not directly compare to... but it is rather a more affordable interpretation thereof at around 1/5 the price. But there are no round head flashes/speedlights in this $260 price range - so not much to talk about there. As far as regular speedlights, we can look at the Canon Speedlight 600EX II-RT ($470) as a name brand example and the Godox V860ii ($160) as a comparable Godox model. Sidse note - I think spending the money on the name brand doesn't make sense when looking at the functionality.
Long story short, I think this flash is an excellent in this price range. It makes sense among the Godox line of flashes, and when compared to other name brands, it is very strong competitor based on function when considering price.
Full disclosure - my partners Fotopal/Eachshot sent this flash to me for review. They are a retailer of some products I already own and they liked the way I did some reviews on products I purchased with my money. They sent me this flash for review - but my comments and feelings on this product are entirely my own. And this uncompromised approach to reviews is and will always continue to be my fundamental requirement wen working with sponsors of any kind.
