Godox V1 Pro Round-Head Speedlite makes debut at Photography & Video Show
The advanced features and reasonable price tag of this flashgun are tempting enough, but it’s the round head that sets the V1 Pro apart
An updated version of the V1, the Godox V1 Pro is a powerful battery-powered flashgun, which features a revolutionary round flash head, instead of the traditional rectangular-shape. This enables it to produce smooth-graduated lighting, with natural-looking fall-off and more pleasing results.
Powered by a high-capacity 7.2V/2980mAh rechargeable lithium-ion battery, the flashgun is capable of firing up to 100 continuous full-powered shots, while upgraded thermal protection guards against overheating. In all, a fully charged battery can deliver up to 500 full-power flashes between charges, and the battery can be charged via the included charging dock, or via its USB Type-C port.
Compatible with the Nikon Creative Lighting System, it supports TTL, High-Speed Sync and Stroboscopic flash modes. A built-in 2.4GHz flash receiver enables the flash to fired remotely via one of Godox’s compatible triggers. The flash head also features a magnetic modifier mount, enabling it to be used with a plethora of magnetic modifiers with a minimum of fuss, and a detachable sub-flash module can be easily attached to supply additional fill light.
The Godox V1 Pro Round-Head Speedlite Alta Pro 3VRL retails at £308/$329. See it at The Photography & Video Show from March 16-19 on stand K404
