Product Information

Another feature I like in this model is channel scan — this gives more reliable results in crowded places where other equipment might be using Wi-Fi. The flash scans all channels and chooses one that no one else is using - very clever. V860 III Versus V1 damage resulting from improper use or storage of the product not in accordance with the user manual and safety regulations As well as all the features you’d expect from this line of flashes, such as TTL and HSS, Godox has added new and improved features into this third version. The flash follows the traditional boxy hotshoe design and is available in dedicated fits for most of the major brands, including; Canon, Sony and Nikon; I’ve looked at the Sony version in this review. The V860III comes equipped with a built-in 2.4G wireless X System for worry free connectivity and is compatible with Godox X System triggers such as the X1, X2 and Xpro.

This is great, however, those with fat thumbs will have issues pressing in on the control wheel to activate the controls. Overall, the controls are well laid out. All of the buttons and the control dial are reachable with just your thumb, which makes for a pleasant user experience. If you’re looking for a workhorse flash with a ton of features and a battery that just seems to keep going and going, the Godox V860 III is an excellent choice.

With a rotation angle of 0° to 330° horizontally and -7° to 120° vertically, the V860III allows direct flash, bounce flash and all other shooting techniques. The Flash head can be zoomed from 20mm to 200mm automatically or manually, allowing you to conveniently adjust the light beam. Whether you’re shooting in a wide space or a narrow location, the V860III will work perfectly.

Being dedicated means you have full access to all the camera’s flash TTL exposure leaving the camera to adjust the flash brightness, so you don’t have to. There is a manual override if you want to take full control and HSS. In this cookie, PrestaShop stores data that allows it to keep the user's session open, such as currency, language, customer ID and other information necessary for the proper operation of the store.

Further playing with the flash reveals this flash’s depth of quality. The refresh rate at around 50-75% power is far less than a second, and only after several hours of shooting did that refresh rate start to slow. In most use I didn’t have to wait for the recycle time, it was just primed and ready. The flash has several features, including wireless control options, a dedicated battery, TTL and HSS. The addition of TTL means that the flash you buy will need to be for your camera’s brand, and Godox offers versions for Canon, Nikon, Sony, Olympus, Fuji, Panasonic and Pentax. This TTL integration works for the automatic and semi-automatic control of the flash’s brightness and the modelling lamp with compatible camera models. If you think these specifications and features of the V860 III sound familiar, you’re right. The V860 III shares a lot of similarities with Godox’s V1 flash. The biggest differences between the V860 III and the V1 is the shape of the flash head (rectangular versus round) and the position of the modeling light (on the flash body versus on the flash head). The final big feature is the wireless control, the Godox VING V860III SPEEDLIGHT is shown to work with the X2, but in this review, I’ve been using it with the older X1 wireless trigger with good results.The flash arrives in a decent fabric protective case and includes a simple flash stand which will come in use when the flash is used off-camera. This stand features a standard 1/4-inch thread on the base, so it is easily mountable on a standard tripod. Being of the standard box style design, anyone familiar with a standard camera flash will recognise the main controls and features. There’s also plenty of adjustment in the angle of the head and it’s all of really high quality. A modeling light has been added to the V860III speedlight, making easier to visualize the end result. With 10-step flash power adjustment, the V860III also provides better adaptation to any conditions with greater flexibility. The V860III features TTL, Manual and Multi-flash modes as well as functions like HSS (up to 1/8000 sec), FEC, FEB and second-curtain sync allowing you to fully realise your creativity. I’ve concentrated on the new features for this review, as all of the standard features are just as you’d expect from Godox. All versions of the V860 III come with TTL, manual flash, high-speed sync up to 1/8000 second, rear-curtain sync, stroboscopic flash, flash exposure compensation, and autofocus assist beam for low lighting situations.
