Godox V860III-S Camera Flash for Sony Camera

Ok, first things first. I don't own an original Canon Speedlite, so my review will not be a comparison with Canon Speedlites. The most expensive speedlite I have (before I ordered this one) was $120 from Amazon (not gonna name the brand here). I was looking for a decent speedlite in the $150-$200 price range as I needed something that I can use both on camera and off camera. I have several other Godox lighting equipment (AD200s, 400 strobe, etc) so it made sense to get this one since it fits nicely with the whole eco system. I had mediocre expectation when I ordered it, and boy was I wrong! This light is WOW! It has everything you need and more: 1. Use as a hot shoe flash: of course 2. Great build quality: Yes 3. Quick lock feature on the hot shoe: Yes 4. HSS and second curtain sync: Yes and the HSS goes up to 1/8000s. What!? For a $200 flash thats wicked impressive! 5. Easy switch between multi mode, ETTL, and manual: Yes 6. Use as a remote flash with Rx compatible with x1c trigger: done 7. Use as a Tx for my other Godox lights: Heck yes! I was so happy it can do this. 8. Zoomable: Yes! To me, the color temperature seemed pretty accurate, so there's that. To be completely fair, I'm not a huge fan of the UI, but I use other Godox systems and it was not too hard to figure out how to do everything I need without looking at the manual at all. I'm sure there are a lot of niche features I may not be utilizing, but in due time I guess. Honestly, I didn't need anything else in this flash. But there are some other cool stuff that I have to mention. It has a dedicated switch to toggle between ETTL and Manual. I didn't think I needed this, but I'm using it all the time now. I did a quick comparison with the Manual and ETTL mode and I almost love it. ETTL may be (emphasis on the may be) a tad bit underexposed (one stop) than what I'd prefer - but I believe it's purely preference. This is nothing a little adjustment on photoshop or lightroom can't fix. Oh, and there is a modeling light! A modeling light on a speedlite at this price point. How do they do it!? And it comes with a Li ion battery (thank god! no more AAs) with a USB C charger. I got way more than I expected in this speedlite. If you're thinking about getting a speedlite, get this one. If you have a Godox system, definitely get this one! And the delivery was super fast as well. I ordered Friday and it got delivered on Sunday. I almost feel bad how fast it was delivered, lol. But who's complaining!?

It’s great a flash for your camera just read the instructions that comes with it and you’ll be ready to used it.I’ve taken random pictures in my room and with the flash does the pictures wonders. Great size great price I love this flash it’s my first one fits my canon well the quality is nice. Easy to install on your camera I love the fact that it comes with a rechargeable battery and the charger.

This is an amazing excellent flash. I typically prefer Nikon brand products, but this item is notably better than the Nikon speedlights I’ve owned. The primary motivation for getting it is the fast refresh speed, which is necessary for hand-held focus-bracketed macro photos. If this were the only difference, it would be worth the switch. The built-in compatibility with Godox flash triggers is a welcome feature. I no longer have to use the Godox receiver on the speedlight, which means one less piece of kit to carry around and fewer batteries to charge. Speaking of batteries, I have to admit that I’m not in love with the rechargeable proprietary battery except that perhaps it contributes to the refresh speed that I do love. Maybe I just need to get a second battery because as it is now, when the battery finally dies, I’m dead in the water until it has recharged. Overall, this is a GREAT speedlight.

I 1st found this flash mentioned in a photography book so I decided to purchase it and haven’t regretted it. It was easy to set up and has been firing every time. I use it for an off camera flash so I bought a transmitter also and has been working flawlessly. Very good flash

cool flash to suppliment my ad200 works well on my canon r6iii with the x2 trigger

So far this speedlite has been fantastic, and I’ve had the chance to use it in a variety of scenarios, both in candid indoor/outdoor setups as well as for some controlled environmental images as well, and it has performed great in each situation. I work as a newspaper photographer in Las Vegas so my assignments strongly vary, sometimes I’m using a flash in an event style manner and at other times I’ll use speedlites for quick portraits as well, instead of strobes, since it’s easier to get around with. This is my 3rd Godox flash, the first being the V1 and the second the AD200. Both of them are larger but provide a lot of power/output as well. The V860 III is the perfect companion to these because it’s a lighter-weight and more portable option (easier to handhold, which is something I like to do on occasion), and the battery/overall charges have been really impressive. The one other flash I use pretty often is a Canon 600 EX RT and while it might be built slightly more durably, the V860III seems to keep up better in terms of power and recycle times overall, and I think I’ll go with the Godox more regularly on my newspaper assignments. The 600 is also a little larger, and the fact that I can get more power out of a smaller unit is a major plus for me, too. Another advantage of the Godox is the rechargeable lithium battery instead of using 4 double A batteries, like with the Canon flashes. I also tried using the flash for some product-style photos with an umbrella diffuser and it performed really well in the situation, too. I have a Godox wireless transmitter, the XProC, and it has functioned without any issue together with the V860 III. I’m able to adjust the power levels and more with the built in receiver in the flash, and it has been great. Anyways, I'm glad I added this flash to my kit I’m already thinking of getting another one since this one has been so great.

Lo uso sulla mia Sony A7RIII. Ottimo prodotto, facile da usare.

Writing this over a year since purchased. Very well built flash. Worked well with both of my other half’s cannon cameras. Had all the accessories needed for our use. She’s the photographer of the household and she loved it . Been used for a lot of baby photoshoots so far and still going strong.

Pari all'originale Canon,col vantaggio delle batterie ricaricabili e di lunga durata.E' il secondo flash di questo tipo che aggiungo al mio corredo professionale.

最初から無いと思ってましたが、技適マークはありませんでした。 技適マーク付は、ケンコートキナーから購入するのが確実だと思われます。 説明書は日本語で、保証書もついており、本体の機能にも満足しています。

It didn't come woth what is showing in the photos..its only flash not accessories.
