I agree 100%! I currently own a Godox AD 200, 400 and 600 and will be adding the V1

[petrol_prophet]

I love the V1S, I have three of them and have used them for a couple years now with great satisfaction.
HOWEVER: Two have broken, one the flimsy hotshoe (easily replaceable, 4 screws and a $20 part).
The other stopped firing entirely, suspected a faulty trigger coil. It is not a user replaceable part. Apparently MANY folks have suffered this issue.
I tried replacing the flash tube just to be sure it wasn't that... no good.

I'll still buy another one to replace it, but just be aware, these things do have some weaknesses.
Probably good to buy a backup to have on hand in case one goes out on you during a shoot.

Love your laid-back style of review. New subscriber...Keep up the good work.

Since these are educational/informational videos, you might want to mention at the beginning that Flashpoint (that you portray) is the Adorama re-branded Godox (that you speak of). People that don't already know this might find your video confusing (along with repeatedly referring to it as the "Canon V1). Also, I would say that the main strength of Godox is not necessarily the innovation, but the innovation for the price. You can get plenty of round-head flash innovation from a brand like Profoto - at 4 times the cost.

Great video! I just got two of these babies today! I have three AD300Pros but was still using my Canon speedlights at my weddings. I'm taking the plunge to have a cohesive system and im ready to WOW my clients! lol. Can't wait to try it all together! Know anyone who wants to buy some used Canon speedlights? lol

[omegaman]

I finally bought the v1. It was a long time coming.

[willcapozzi]

I'm in! I've been looking at this system and now I'm sure I want to grab some of these. Probably start with the V1 and the ad200.

a short info regarding the battery life. The rechargeable batteries you used are nimh accus. They running with 1.2v what means there have 0.5v less than the godox accus or normal alkaline batteries at the beginning of there life. So there the powerex never pushes the limits what the flash or device would be capable of. I would recommend EBL lithium rechargeable they have a lof of power, you can charge it with every phone charger and they dont die because of overloading or over emptieng it

Mainly want to use it for event photography. 2nd shooter at weddings but looking to become a main shooter. I can't decide which I want and I'd probably bounce the flash more. I can't decide!!!

[filmbyak]

Thank you for explaining the growth potential as well. It gets overwhelming thinking if I buy this, then when I grow, then what?

[marlinwoodruff]

Thanks for sharing, love the editing and intro, great points I totally agree, V1 is a beast.

[kinsersprint]

I have Canon 600 ex RT mk 2 flash and Yongnuo YN 600 RT mk 2 and Canon EL 100 Speedlite Flash and I say they are best I ever used ❤❤❤

[paulconnors]

I just found your channel and noticed your V1 is the one sold by Adorama under their in-house brand name. I have the Godox branded version and I bought the Accessory kit you referred to as well. I highly recommend the accessory kit because for the small amount of extra $, one gets a really well thought-out and configured kit.

I also have the Godox V860II and several of the Godox triggers that allow me to utilize non-Godox flashes with my Nikon flashes in a mult-light set-up.

Great review and I just subscribed.

Thank you for your video! How many pictures can I take with one charge with a perhaps typical setting of 1/32 or 1/16? Which settings do you use on average? You talked about about three weddings, which last hours. Don’t I need an additional battery then?

[emanuel]

I have three Godox AD300Pro and two Godox V1. Both models overheat pretty easy; they get very slow and have to "rest" a few minuters. Not a huge problem if you don´t shoot intensive, but I do that sometimes. The newer Godox V1Pro are presumably better in that area, but they need to work on the AD300 as well.
Other than that happy with my Godox!

Y does some peeps have so much negative energy😅 chill its only a point of view in experience...yr vids r dope keep doing what yr doing

[lisawilliams]

I appreciate your content, thanks so much. Can you suggest where I can look for an in-depth tutorial for newbies like me to learn how to use (set up), etc. the V1C? Or perhaps you can do a full tutorial. I've always shot natural light and am attempting to learn off camera flash. I just bought the V1C and the attachment kit. I have to be honest, I am intimidated with all the buttons, and features, but ready to learn the basics.

[steviegbcool]

for the wight and size its not very powerful though

[prabhakarrao]

FYI the battery has a 120-day warranty only (at least here in New Zealand) and at $89 a replacement is not cheap either. This fact aside the V1 is a good flash I have used it and I like the even spread of light which is far superior to my much loved TT685. FYI only one other minor gripe is the fact that it is rather bit top heavy which becomes rather noticeable when mounted on a mirrorless body.

I’m looking at this flash for my SonyA7RIII! I have a magmod so I wanna makes sure it’s compatible. Thanks for the great video 🥰
