1. Godox V1
The Godox V1-S is the first TTL flash from Godox featuring a round flash head and HSS support for Canon. It can achieve sync speeds of up to 1/8000 s. The flash can be used in all common modes such as TTL, manual, and strobe or multi. Additionally, the V1C can be triggered via Godox X1T-C or Godox X-pro transmitters, as a corresponding receiver is already built into the flash. Light modifiers from the Godox AK-R1 set can be magnetically attached to the flash head. Besides the HSS function, the V1-S also offers flash exposure compensation, allowing the flash output to be adjusted. This enables the flash to be controlled independently of the actual exposure set by the camera. The FEB function (Flash Exposure Bracketing) is used to create a series of flash exposures, making it easy to quickly find the optimal flash exposure for a subject without needing to make many adjustments. The V1C features an automatic zoom range of 28-105 mm. With a power output of 76 Ws, the flash can also effectively compete against sunlight. The same transmitter can also control the AD600B, allowing for easy expansion of the Godox system without the need to constantly purchase new transmitters and receivers. A unique aspect of this flash unit is that it operates on a Li-ion battery instead of AAA batteries. This battery allows for up to 480 flashes per charge.
