Until now, this on-camera flash with a round head was only available for Sony photographers — but Canon users can finally get their hands on it. The Godox V1 delivers soft, even lighting with smooth falloff, delivering a quality of light that feels remarkably close to studio strobes. And that's just the beginning.
The round head design produces a natural light pattern with beautifully shaped catchlights (reflections in the subject's eyes) — very similar to the look you'd get from an octabox. Your portraits gain depth and expression instantly, even without any extra modifiers.
Key specifications:
- Power output: 76 J;
- Flash duration: down to 1/20000 s;
- Color temperature: 5600K (±200K);
- Built-in radio triggering with TTL and HSS support, fully compatible with Godox battery-powered flashes;
- Shooting modes: Flash Exposure Compensation (FEC), Flash Exposure Bracketing (FEB), Flash Exposure Lock (FEL);
- High-speed sync up to 1/8000 s, front/rear curtain sync, and stroboscopic mode;
- 2W LED modeling light with 10-step brightness adjustment — perfect for previewing your light/shadow pattern before you shoot;
- Battery life: up to 480 full-power pops, with a recycle time of under 1.5 seconds.
The updated version also features a redesigned locking mechanism, ensuring fast, rock-solid mounting on your camera or light stand. And the magnetic mount lets you swap Godox modifiers in seconds — no fuss, no hassle.
