- A complete review of the new GODOX MF-12 dual flash system. I detail the components of the package and take the flash for a spin in the forest, where I photograph scorpions, and talk about setup, diffusion and battery life
The flash is offered as a combo with the @Irixlens 150mm macro lens, and was kindly loaned to me by IRIX for this review

Such annoying Intro! Turned the volume up to hear presentation, annoying intro blasted into the rest of the house. Ruined the moment.
Very through review. One thing to check on Godox controllers is the distance setting (MENU, page 3/4, DIST). For on-board flashes, DIST should be set to 0-30 m not 1-100 m (which I think might be the default setting). The 1-100 m setting can result in misfiring of onboard flashes. Always enjoy your videos- keep ‘em coming!
I use this flash I never have a problem with the lens getting too close . canon f2.8 100 macro I use 3 flashes 1/2 power
You guys the only way to make soft light is making it big.
Great way to set-up the flashes. I too was struggling with the specular highlights and I also have all the bits lying around to make your flash holder. Looks like I have another project for the weekend
Excellent, you covered the questions I had and will save me the cost of the full two flash kit. I'll get the flashes without the rings and filter gels. The fast recycle time for handheld stacking is great. I doubt the LED will be much help when dimmed through my diffuser, but perhaps in very low light.
thanks for the extensive explanation, with this I have more insurance than accessories to take into account when taking photos that I did not take into account
Thanks for a fantastic review with plenty of good insight
I already bought these and I took notes from your review because I wanted to see someone else use them so I know how to use them. Thanks for the review!
This guy rules
Great review. Comprehensive, clear and very informative!
Best field hands-on review of this macro flash system! Just ordered one and will try it soon!
Very informative and offering fresh insights on this system. Thank you
fantastic informative vid, thanks so much!!
Great review. I don't think I'd be happy with a battery that can't be swapped out. Love my AD200's and AD400's; the spares for them are pricey, but having at least one in my bag is reassuring. Really wonderful review, the first of yours I've watched. Thank you!
Excellent video! Thank you 📷 🙂
love godox…
Thank you for this. I plan to build a similar set-up using two Joby accessory bendy arms, and a smallrig cage on my Nikon Z7. If I am lucky the Joby arms will just attach to the cage, in the right positions - but I think I will need to get creative :-) Sorry if you already described in other videos, but what it is your go-to material for making cone diffusers? Oh, when you turn the flash units on, trying pressing the flash trigger button at the same time - I think this forces a close-distance connection, which might cure that non-firing issue.
Good job - great video. However, I think you may have gotten a faulty/loose ring setup. I have been using variations with multiple flashes for over a year now and have never had the ring rotate under use like you demonstrated. It is a very snug fit on my copy.
Good review. The only downside for me is non-replaceable batteries like you mentioned. The website says they charge at 5v 2A. Is that enough power to use the flashes WHILE charging?
