Godox V1! Worth Getting for your Fujifilm Camera?
Вставка
- Опубліковано 10 лип 2024
- *Update Dec. 2019- I have found that if shooting the V1 flashes in repeated bursts will cause the unit to enter "thermal protection mode" meaning the flash slow down considerably. It will wait 5 seconds or so between bursts. Godox did release a firmware update and it did help a bit...but it is still something to think about if you fire rapidly. While shooting receptions, I have found the V1's lack the consistency of my trusty old Canon 600EX-RTII's. They work great until you overwork 'em, then they slow down. (note..turning off the flash and removing the battery for a second gets it back to normal)
Working on some tests to find out more, stay tuned. I'll throw up the link under this update. Also, check out Wes Perry's overheating torture test here:

Looking for a flash for your Fujifilm camera? In this video we look at the new Godox V1 Roundhead flash for Fuji.
Godox sent me this flash to play try with my Fujifilm cameras. I have extensive experience with the Sony/Canon versions, but really was excited to try on the Fuji.

Great Video Omar. Nevertheless I will buy that Flash. What about the Battery Power? How much flashes you can fire? Thanks!
Is there a link for the Godox V1 firmware update to lessen the over heating issue?
In your experience is the V860II about the same as the V1 as far as overheating?
Thanks for the review. So it sounds like they haven't been a suitable replacement for your Canon 600EX's?
Ftp
I’ve just found you and I’m going to be honest.
I only clicked because two things: your name and the v1. It ended up being the best video I’ve seen about this godox light system and it was not only useful for fuji camera users. I’ve got an a7. I just got two v1. I’m still learning about them. Thanks so much Omar. ✌🏽😊
Great review. I just bought the V1 for my X-T3 and didn't even realized that I can use the V1 as a command trigger for other flashes and also didn't understand the setup of the X-T3 for high speed sync. Now I can can have some fun! Thanks.
Definitely one of the best videos on the Godox V1 flash, and I've seen many! Thanks for showing how you can turn off the master and only turn on the remote flashes, etc. Very useful info. I liked and subbed!
My small complaint is you should slow down and show exactly what button you are pressing, such as when you said press this button twice to do...I had to rewind multiple times to see what button(s) you were pressing since you didn't elaborate and were talking fast. Great information though!
I love that you described in fair detail how to use it instead of just telling its features. It's one of the pains of using new brands and many of us don't RTFM.
Great video, with lots of relevant information explained and shown clearly. Appreciate it.
I just got this flash for the Sony so of course I stumbled across your video...always a joy to watch your videos cause you make me laugh! Let me know if you ever come to California for a visit, because I would love to meet you in person!
Had it for months and love it. Mine is build great with no issues.
I have no idea why I have godox camera flash in my amazon basket.... when I dont even own a camera.... I need to stop watching your channel... great video man !!!
haha...
Thanks for the laugh
I shoot with Olympus but I just like to watch your channel for a lot of fun and education. :)
I've had a V1 about 6 month now, it is just a super cool flash, i really love the round head.
This is an amazing powerful flash. I'm buying one.
Great informative vid Omar 👍
This is nuts, I just ordered a V1 this afternoon for my xt3!
Is the red AF ASSIST light working on this Godox flash, because it doesn't work with my Nissin flash(s)
They are watching 0_0
I now have idea of what flash should I buy for my Fuji XT20!
Thank you!
Hi Omar great video as usual full of good tips and information about products for the Fuji System Many thanks keep them coming ! gman U.K.
Hey Omar ! thanks for your tips !!!
Dude all your flash videos have been really helpful. I've been doing a ton of research into flashes as I have a wedding and event coming up. The wedding is a favor for a friend and the event is my Halloween party so for now I'm getting the 350 all this gear has made me broke! 😂 Lol. Once I get comfortable with it I'll upgrade to the v1
Best of luck! I made a 350tt video. HOpe it helps ua-cam.com/video/8TU5mjThE50/v-deo.html
Great feedback for Godox. Agree
Hey its fun to listen. Great job
I have a TT350 abs works fine for what I need, Used it on a congress event inside a 300 ppl room and worked nicely
I die laughing at your antics Everytime!!! Love the review!!!!!
I bought this just a few days ago. Also have the tt350, which I like but find a bit weak. I think those two in combination will serve me well. Also have the Godox controller. A great combo so far.
Thank you for this video. That was informative and interesting. That being said, you forgot to mention that we must use the *Electronic Shutter* when we use this flash or it simply doesn't work.
Do you mean mechanical shutter?
Great analysis :) I have a somewhat related question. If I were to use the Godox 860 for Fuji as a command unit, could I fire Godox units designed for Nikon ?
Ooooooooooooooh FU flash! Great video my brother.
Good stuff! new subscriber learned a lot on this thanks!!!!
First - Great intro to using the Godox flash. The only thing I would add is if you want to change any of the flash options in the camera then put the flash on and power it up. Only then can some of the options in the flash menu be set. Using HSS is one of them. Otherwise great intro.
The best thing about videos featuring Godox is the UA-cam auto-generated subtitles function. "Go ducks flash", "Goethe", "Go Dock", I've seen it all
Hilarious!
AWESOME flash love it ! finally no doors :)
Will the Godox TT600 flash work just as good as TT685 when combined with the X1t-F trigger? All I need is high-speed sync!
Thanks,
Arun Paul
Thanks for the video! Question. Can I buy only the amber color magnetic filter by itself or must I get the kit? I already have the magnetic dome.
Great video! Does the TTL work with the XT-3? I've got the TT350 and it won't let me select TTL as an option.
Okay I have a totally unrelated question, I recently purchased a XT-30 6 months ago for all my travels, and I am wanting to purchase a bigger Fuji camera for my normal endeavors. I am torn between the incredible price reduction in the XH-1 and the recent drop in price for the xt3. There are pros and cons for both. What is your honest take between the two? Thanks
Xt3 for me. The video features are quite an upgrade and it has a sexier look. I'm shallow.
is the CTO gel what you mostly use when you're using a flash? If so, can you make a video why? Or I can probably just google it too...thanks. Anyway new subscriber here just waiting on my X-T2 to arrive in the mail.
excellent, thanks. I hate flash. It intimidates me but I'm forcing myself to figure it out. So what does the round head do for you that the rectangular doesn't?
I love the way you making video, whenever watching your videos I get smile always.
I use the godox TT350 for street and family and it is great,
Can be held with my left hand,
And connected with small Q trigger
Is it compatible with the XT4? Great video!
Love your videos Omar!! Is there a Canon version of this flash? Thanks! Actually nevermind I found it!! Lol
I have no real use for the V1 because my Flashpoint Zoom R2's are normally stuck into S brackets for Bowens modifiers(round head doesn't fit), but I would love for Godox to start integrating some of the upgrades to their regular flashes and triggers. The hot shoe 'lever lock' as opposed to the wheel lock and quick full stop adjustments would make them near perfect for my needs.
Also, on the V1's locking lever, aren't you supposed to press in the gray button before trying to unlock it?
hey! The roundhead does fit in the S-bracket. You just gotta back that puppy in. I use it all the time. Next....the lever lock is pure Ca-ca. You would think the button locks it. Doesn't work so great. Give us a good lever lock or none at all I says. Thanks.
The company says their name is pronounced with a short "o," but I guess every UA-cam camera reviewer knows better! 🤣 I do love your channel, though, Omar! Keep up the good work!!
Omar, I cannot tell how old you are. And for some unspecified reasons, I would like to know :D
Thank you for all your superb videos!
I'm 12. Inside.
@@ogonzilla were you born on a leap year? :P
Hey Omar, thanks for this great review.
Is the modeling light of the V1 strong enough to control the lighting (shadowcontrol) before the flash?
For example, for portraits.
Where are the limits? Is the modeling light enough for headshots or even for larger in the softbox?
Haha! I love your struggle with the battery & door issue. But I once dropped my V850 2 while trying to change battery and guess what? Yeah the bloody door broke off it’s hinge and the bridal waltz was seconds away. I almost froze but luckily I kept a spare flash in my bag and I saved the day, well at least the Bridal Waltz. But now that I have the V1 having no door means less things to go wrong. It’s doesn’t take long to get used too it.I also noticed the recycle time has improved. Which is a big plus
Hi Omar! I wanted to ask if it works even without being mounted on the camera, for example, if I hold it in my hand or place it on a tripod. Thanks for the video. Congratulations on the channel! You're friendly and provide the right information!", Best, Stefano
You need to purchase a Godox Fuji trigger.
Works on Xt20 right? Is there a trigger i need to get to shoot TTL HSS wireless? Want yo set it up on a strobe and fire from an angle
Is the red AF ASSIST light working on this Godox flash? It can be very helpful and much better then the WHITE AF-assist light of a Fuji X-T3.
I have a Nissin Di700A and a Nissin i60A. Af assist doesn't work on both of these flashes with a Fuji X-T3.
Nissin says that they doesn't work because the X-T3 doesn't produce a AF-assist signal to the flash.
Is that really True? If yes, could it be fixed by a firmware update by Fuji?
Hey great video! I think I'll get it to replace my godox v850 ii, since I can't get it to work with my x2t-f, not even in manual mode. I've been triggering my v350f with the x2t-f, which after a few shots will make the v850 ii fire slave style. I've give v through the manuals many times, played long with the settings, and watched many a UA-cam tutorial... Any idea what I'm doing wrong? Thanks for all your hard work here
If you think this is a good choice because of the power, you're kind of mistaken. The V1 is cool for the quality of light that it produces, but it's really only *barely* more powerful than the v860ii stuff. The refresh time is basically the same, too. That's not just my opinion either. The round head design is cool, but it definitely does not justify the price. If I'm paying that much for a flash, I'm just going to go ahead and get another AD200 Pro.
Isn't "power" relative? I started the video showing a tiny LESS powerful option. :) LOL...
@@ogonzillain the general sense, of course, but not when it is kind of assumed that you are comparing this to the standard Godox speed light range. My point is that the power difference between the V1 and a speedlight is negligible. Cheers
Your best diffuser for your flashes?? I have magmod magsphere .. happy enough
Can you use the godox xprof wireless transmitter with nikon speedlights? Will fuji ttl work with nikon? flashes?
Wattup, Omar! Dude, you're going to be at the PhotoPlus or Sony Event this week? Great video!
Both!! 🤪
@@ogonzilla I see. You're a fancy man. We definitely need to high five! haha See you around!
Would be great if you could do a video on flash photography for beginners. You can explain well.
Ronald Buskens find his older videos with flash
Is it as good as for fujifilm gfx 100 ? thank you...like you work...keep doing
Can this flash trigger and control the old V850?
Kind Regards
great review. build up your kit like a maniac! :) thanks mate!
Hello, I have this flash, I used it on my xt4 with the battery grip,, my camera kept freezing.. and I kept getting a signal that the batteries on the grip were dead,,but there weren’t.. am I doing something wrong? I ended up taking the grip off, I was shooting a bday party.. it slowed me down.. sad because I just bought the battery grip. I want to use this combination….. I have a love hate relationship with my xt4. For some reason it keeps freezing where I have to take the battery out and put it back in.. also with this flash, for some reason the modes keeps jumping around from Ttl to manual whenever I shoot..is there a reason for this?
Can you use the small godox tt350 as a commander?
Best sense of humour :)
True. I specially giggled when he said “you are screwed” while screwing 😂
Good info, enjoyed!
Hi guys, i have a Fuji XT20! I wanna buy a godox x1t trigger for fuji and use it to control my godox TT350 for Sony, if i understand correctly, is this posible right? You know if the HSS and TTL mode will work in this case? If it doesnt, i am thinking of buying another TT350 for fuji and use both, one in camera and the sony off camera with my xt20 or my A7...
I use the pouches always :D
On the plus side also: The hotshoe is made of metal! My TT685 hotshoe is made of plastic, and it broke off after 2 days of use!
frederikboving - I have 2 tt685s & hadn't even realised the hotshoe fitting is not metal.
I don't know what you did to bust yours, but I regularly, carelessly, let mine swing from one hand between shots at events, with no problem so far (said he, tempting fate🤐).
BUT - I'm damn sure I'd rather bust the speedlight fitting than the camera hotshoe.
@@peterjackhandy Agreed. I hang my flashes off camera in "arms" like the manfrotto 244 (product shoots) and my Yongnuos hang sideways and up/down with no problem. After hanging sideways for 2 minutes the TT685 shoe broke :-( It's probably just me that uses flashes in "strange positions"...
Can I use it on my Fuji X-T1?
Awesome video. I am a flash noob and would love more info and videos like this. I have just used the supplied flash that comes with the xt-2. The results are not that good.
Bryan Peterson does a good job explaining flash in his book. Cool guy as well. I remember years ago I read that book. I was confused about something so I emailed him, not really expecting a response. He responded within the half hour and asked for my phone number. He then called me like 5 min later and we spoke for about an hour. BTW, being confused with something he says is very rare. He is a master, at least to me, at explaining things.
Was attracted to Fuji, initially to my XT20, and then XT2.
The Godox is a Godzilla and I can imagine many people ( most of whom have in this day and age, have never heard of taking am image, other via mobile/cell phone) and will be totally off-put by the appearance of the 90 foot light towers with a 20 foot round circle of glass on top.
Ok, the above maybe a little over the top.
But the world is no longer populated by people who have any idea for taking photos with Real cameras, doesn't take much to intimidate them.
True.
there is a button for the lock system, you can push it to unlock
What's the name of the second brand that sell the v1?
Davide Dinoi flashpoint
My Olympus FL50 has lasted forever for the $399 I paid but I won't pay that much again for Olympus brand again. It cost twice the price as Godox. Sure it is weather sealed and it has focus assist, which is crap because it's a blinding white LED light. For twice the price it should have radio controlled but it doesn't and I rarely need focus assist in low light situations. Don't see how one can justify unless you like using flash in the rain or shower.
how's the power of the V1 vs the 860?
About the same. Robert Hall Photography did some tests and found it was about a 1/3 stop more powerful.
Was there two of You around 3:00?
Godox V1 v Profoto equivalent.....which one is better sir?
Profoto is way better.
But if you want a better model & pros approved the ATG's Gold T2r & Quantum QFlash T2.
The ATG Auto2 is was better than the best TTL flashes.
I thought I was getting a stroke at around 3:00 😂 but it was the audio tracks overlapping
It's you. See a doctor.
Guys the new Godox 860iii S AF Bean Works 😃😃😃😃
I can’t seem to get my Flashes to work using XT4 and XT2 Godox trigger
Check channel
I shoot with Fuji Film cams and use all Godoxspeed lights. I use my AD 360 II the most with a xpro trigger. Everything on Manual Cam,Flash and Trigger starts off great 200 shots in it switches over to TTL in the cam, no longer have Manual control, Flash still says Man, Trigger still says Man, But in the cam settings it switched back to TTL after setting it in Manual. All new batteries in Cam,trigger and Flash. Go to switch it back to manual and it instantly goes back to TTL. If i shut the trigger off I can switch it to Man, soon as I turn the trigger on it goes back to TTL.
Has anybody experienced this using Fujifilm cams?
You're the funny twin of Lord Voldemort
can you compare it to the profoto a1?
Check Robert Hall’s comparo vids.
This episode may contain flash photography 😁
Buenos días, Omar. I’ve recently purchased the XT-4. I also purchased the Godax V1 flash, and the Xpro trigger. They are both on same channel (channel 1). However, my camera says channel 3 and it is grayed out. How can you change the xt-4’s channel? I know, I can change the flash and trigger to channel 3, but wanted to know how to change channels in the camera. Any help is appreciated.
Can the XT20 also do the High speed sync?
yes. You just need the proper Fujifilm trigger and flash
@@ogonzilla thanks omar!
Do you have an affiliate link for amazon Canada for this flash? I would love to help you out
That's so nice of you. No worries....only US links.
Finally a flash with a rechargeable battery. Nikon, Fuji, are you watching this???
"Let's turn on the Sony one... it's TIRED" LMAOOOO :p
I've actually replaced the base on my V1 after it fell😬😬😬😬. $25. On ebay (see fotoconic) 4 screws and a ribbon cable.
👍👍👍👍
Great review Omar, could you please compare this guy with Godox v860ii? Which one should I buy for my Fuji X-E2 Thank you so much!
Both are okay flashes. And yes, they, including C/N/S will overheat & shutdown.
But if you are serious go for ATG's Nissin MG8000/MG80 or MG10 Set or ATG's Metz 76MZ-5.
Or you can get ATG's Quantum QFlash T2 or Metz 60CT-4. No overheating & No shutdown.
@@angelisone thank you so much
@@nsontung ATG & I suggest if you want to stay with ATG/Godox system go for TT350s.
The TT350s is a small ATG's tribrid (flash/transmitter/receiver) flash.
This can become your accent light as well as a TTL transmitter to external flashes/monolights.
So if you buy an extra flash or monolight, you have Group A & Group B or combine both in Group A for more power. Just make sure you get the ATG/Godox/Flashpoint/Neewer/Bolt.

Hello please do the unts unts in your next video ty
Hello omar , thanks for your videoa which is really helpful and I cam to uour Channel because Inwant to buy a flash
I have a question please ,
Does thr v1 speeslight hs different versions for canon , fujfilm ... Or only 1 version whicj is computable with alll
I recommend the 860II over the V1. V1 can't handle the pressures of mulitple flash bursts!! and shuts off..
PS: The Canon, Fuji, Nikon one will work on all the cameras. But buy brand specific if you want TTL HSS
@@ogonzilla
Honestly I didn't think you are going to reply 😅
Really thanks alot you are so helpful and you taught me alot I am z Marketer who suddenly decided to switch and shift my career to photography to do something I love .
And you are one of the best videos which helped me specifically in understanding thr new AF system as I used to own a very old DSLR and siwtched this year ti mirrolesss so I was so much behind as photography was just a hobby .
So thanks agan omar ♥️
Hi there, I am here to make a request to you to make a new video on a comparison Between Godox V1 vs Godox V860II with a Magmod Magsphere mounted on the V860II. The reason i am requesting to make this video is that v1 is more costly compared to v860II. So if we could produce the same effect of light diffusion/distribution using a magsphere on a v860II that a v1 could produce without a diffuser then we could buy a MAGMOD light modification kits and a Godox V860II for the money we spend buying a Godox V1.
Go with the magmod and the 860. The v1 accessories are terrible. Magnets also not as strong
To be fair, you exaggerated how difficult it is to replace the battery lol..
Good points about the battery, but I've shot 3 large corporate events with these and, well, the batteries go forevah, minimizing any changing in the dark stuff...but yea, good points.
Also, using the unit as ON camera flash, remember to lock the settings as the wheel is very sensitive and my forehead cause a couple of setting changes. :)
Nice review man!
Thanks for sharing!
Love your site and your captain America. Where can l buy one?
Am I hearing things? @3:00
Yes....it's totally you. Voices in your head. lol
it’s actually called ‘God Ox’, due to the Chinese Name ‘神牛’. ‘神’ is God, and the ‘牛’ is Ox.😂 Directly translatled from Chinese into English.
Funnily enough, before Godox became so well known, a google search would often return as 'God of flash'...
But it's Go-dox now 😎
