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 times 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 also 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 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 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 is also capable of overpowering 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. What makes this flash unit special is that it operates not on AAA batteries, but on a lithium-ion battery. This battery allows for up to 480 flashes per charge.
2. Nikon SB-700 Speedlight
The operation is incredibly intuitive. A variety of innovative features makes controlling the quality and direction of light particularly easy.

The compact housing provides ideal conditions for creative shots or balanced images in challenging lighting situations.

- Manual adjustment from 1/1 to 1/128
- High Speed Sync up to 1/8000s
- 2.4 GHz, range up to 100m
- Compatible with Godox AD600B Wistro
- TTL adjustment option +/- 3EV
The flash can be used in all common modes such as TTL, manual, and strobe or multi. Additionally, the V860II can also be triggered via the Godox X1T-C transmitter, as a corresponding receiver is already built into the flash.
In addition to the HSS function, the V860II also offers Flash Exposure Compensation, which allows you to adjust the amount of flash. This way, you can control the flash light independently of the actual exposure from the camera. To perform a flash exposure bracketing, you use the FEB function (Flash Exposure Bracketing). This allows you to quickly find the optimal flash exposure for a subject without having to make many adjustments.
The V860II comes with an automatic zoom range of 20-200 mm. With a guide number of 60, the flash is also capable of firing against the sun. With the same transmitter, you can also control the AD600B, making the Godox system very easy to expand without the need to constantly purchase new transmitters and receivers.
The special feature of this flash is that it does not operate on AAA batteries, but rather on a Li-Ion battery. This battery allows for up to 650 flashes on a single charge.
Compatibility:
Sony cameras with MI hot shoe, e.g., A7, A7R, A7S, A7 II, A7R II, A7S II, A6000, A6300, A6500, etc.
6. Godox V1PRO
Additional Flash Module
More light sources mean more possibilities. The V1Pro flash features a detachable external flash module SU-1, allowing the V1Pro to seamlessly function as both a reflected and fill light source simultaneously. The detachable module can be removed when necessary.
Convenient Operation
Based on feedback from photographers, the V1Pro uses a physical switch between TTL and manual modes. There is no faster way to switch modes in situations where every second counts. The V1Pro flash offers two options for charging the battery: with the VC26 charger or via a universal USB-C port. This makes it easy to charge the battery under all conditions. If even longer operating time is required, such as for outdoor sessions, the V1Pro is compatible with additional power sources like the Godox Propac P960 Power Pack.
Round Head
The unique round head design ensures even and softer light distribution.
7. Nikon SB-5000
In the right light with the SB-5000 - the first radio-controlled flash unit. The SB-5000 is fast, reliable and versatile and provides outstanding illumination for both outdoor and studio photography. Radio signals enable use within a radius of 30 metres and support complex setups, both with the flash unit attached to the camera and unattached. Now you can work without a direct line of sight or in bright sunlight that would interfere with an optical signal. The new integrated cooling system enables over 100 shots in quick succession at full flash output. For photographers who want to spontaneously capture the decisive moment, the lightweight, compact SB-5000 offers clearly arranged controls for intuitive handling.
8. Godox MF 12
The Godox MF12 is perfect for macro lighting, allowing you to capture beautiful and sharp images of small objects like plants, animals, and insects up close. It is not only ideal for standalone use but can also be employed as a multi-flash solution when multiple units are attached to the mounting ring, creating a ring flash effect or other flexible lighting effects.
With the Godox Macro Flash MF12, you can take stunning and sharp photos of small subjects such as plants, animals, and insects from a close distance. The MF12 can be used alone or in combination with other flash units. For interesting effects and greater control over the light, multiple units can be attached to the mounting ring.
Its compact size leads to "invisibility": the MF12 illuminates the subject while easily hiding just outside the frame. The adjustable head allows for quick positioning, making extreme close-ups easily achievable. The multi-flash configuration of the MF12 significantly expands its versatility when additional flashes are mounted on the ring. Depending on the number of flashes and their positioning, the kit can effortlessly cover a wide range of scenarios.
The powerful battery allows for up to 500 flashes at full power with a short recharge time (0.01-1.7 s), ensuring enjoyable and lengthy sessions without worrying about power. After the session, you can easily recharge it using a USB Type-C cable.
