Godox V860III-S Flash for Sony Camera Flash Speedlite 7.2V/2600mAh Li-ion Battery, 2.4G Wireless HSS 1/8000 1.5s Recycle Time 10 Levels LED Modeling Light for Sony Cameras (Upgraded V860II-S)

Product Information

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. The flash proves to be a powerful tool with a good even spread of light with decent control over the power and duration. The inclusion of the LED modelling light gives the flash an added boost, and the colour temperature remained constant throughout the test. A nice touch is that the flashes wireless system is designed to be compatible with much of the present Godox range. You can partner the Godox VING V860III SPEEDLIGHT with the X1 wireless trigger system and higher-end V1 flashguns. Another nice touch, especially for Pros, is that if you have the V1 as your main flash, these cheaper V860III are fully compatible with communication and even share the same battery type.

For event photographers and those who use on-camera-flash in fast-paced environments, these updates, especially with the low cost, will be more than welcome. 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. B&H – B&H is a world renowned supplier of all the gear photographers, videographers, and cinematographers need and want to create their very best work. The flashgun comes equipped with an easy to reach switch that allows you to alternate between manual and TTL modes with ease.The build quality of the Godox V860 III is excellent. The flash feels sturdy and more durable in the hand than some smaller flashes. Having said that, I’ve never had any issues with the build quality of any Godox equipment. Specifications 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. The Godox VING V860III Speedlight Flash is an excellent mid-level hot shoe flash gun that will suit the needs of higher-end enthusiasts and semi-pro photographers. 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.

The V860III (Zoom III R2 TTL) still has all the features existing users know and love, including a zoom mode (20mm to 200mm) for easy light range adjustments, -7 to 120-degree vertical angle adjustment, the built-in 2.4G Wireless X system allowing for seamless connectivity of multiple flash heads and Triggers like the X1, a High-Speed Sync (HSS) capable of shooting up to 1/8000s, FEC, FEB, and rear curtain sync modes. A big part of the reason for this is the large capacity battery that slots into the side of the flash and is the same as the one used in the Pro level V1. The overall performance is excellent, and for most people, and quality-wise is enough to rival many manufacturer’s mid-range models at half the price.

Can Chinese manufacturers like Godox compete with the likes of Swedish brand Profoto?

Along with full tilt and rotation control of the head, as you would expect, the body of the flash also features a forward-facing adjustable modelling light. This is a handy tool when composing your shot, but it isn’t bright enough to be used properly as a video light.
