El producto apenas lo compré y voy empezar a utilizarlo y esper que llene mis expectativas. Por sus características parece un buen producto ya que tiene una batería de litio recargable que evita que utilicemos las antiguas pilas AA.

I am a professional photographer and needed to upgrade my speedlights and had these recommended by another photographer.They are a powerful little flash and can stand up to a beating (I have dropped them a few times already, and smacked one off a golf cart at a wedding once too)I would recommend them to anyone.

This is the second Godox speed light I bought for my new Nikon Z8. I have also used them in my Z6II and Z7II. Bought them with the remoter trigger so I can use it with multiple GODOX V860II-N speed lights for my portrait photography using 1/8000 sec High Speed Sync

I bought this flash as I haven't owned one since leaving full time employment as a photographer, using company gear. The flash has the capability of being used in a number of ways, including as a slave unit, or to fire other slave units. It worked faultlessly out of the box, although I might be tempted to use the compensation settings when using the diffusing box attachment, as the resulting pictures where a little under exposed. This was purely my fault for not doing a comprehensive test before using it for the wedding which I was asked to photograph for a friend! A very good flash unit, and I would recommend it. Ideal on fully auto, too!

Switched from Canon to Nikon so needed a Nikon flash. This one is just right. Has all the programmability you need (haven't even figured it all out yet, so everything is covered. Has a battery pack as opposed to 4 AA batteries. Good in that the battery pack will last much longer with a faster recovery rate than batteries, but you can't just switch to new batteries if it goes dead so you have to plan ahead. Overall, terrific flash. Love it. Highly recommended.

First of all, I haven't had it long and haven't used it much, but when I have used it, it has been a joy to work with. That said, there was a long process to start with. This is actually the 2nd one I ordered, having returned the 1st one because it would not work with my camera (Nikon Z user here). After getting the 2nd one, I was disappointed to find out that it would not work with the camera either. I was thinking there was some serious quality control issues going on with the flash, or I was having an amazing streak of bad luck. So I did some research. It took a while, and it was fairly accidental the way I found it, but it turns out that there is a firmware upgrade to make it work with Nikon Z cameras. And for what it is worth, the process to implement the upgrade is both tedious and confusing and involves downloading some quirky software. But after a few hours, I figured it out and loaded the firmware. And WOW! What a difference! Everything I threw at it the flash just took it in stride and gave me perfect exposures. I feel pretty certain that if I had known about the firmware upgrade, the 1st flash probably would have worked too. GODOX (are you listening?} would be smart to add some information in the box for the customer to mention that if they are a Nikon Z user, that they need to download firmware in order for the flash to work. Which is why I gave it 3 stars. It is definitely a 5 star flash once the firmware is loaded.

Godoxはわりと評価が高いので購入しました。ニコンD750で使っていますが、充電は満タンなのにときどき発光しません。やはり純正でないとダメですね。予備にしかなりません。

(ALL IMAGES WERE TAKEN AROUND THE HOUSE, FLASH WAS MOUNTED ON THE HOT-SHOE)My primary camera is the Nikon D850 which doesn't have a built in flash. I currently own (2) AD200pro's to handle my off camera lighting issues. So there's a great need for me to have something I can depend on the hot-shoe. I've tried several other third party brands only to be disappointed. Knowing I should’ve went with a Godox unit to start. Well I got the V860ii but I haven't had time to get out and about because of the Covid-19 closings around town. So I've decided to post some sample images from around the house.About the unit: Build quality is great, buttons are what I expected (Top notch) from a Good Product. Menus are relatively easy to navigate; a little different from the AD200pro menus but easy to figure out. Totally in love with the lithium battery makes for the perfect match with my AD200pro’s; Assuming I’m not shooting full power I shouldn’t have any issues all day. The full power recycle time seems to be around 2 seconds and that’s just fine for me in how I compose my shots. Setting up the unit to work with my xPro Trigger was easy.I ran the unit through all the power bands as well as using the multi mode is the unit handled lighting the scenes well. In using HSS 1/250-1/8000, you can expect a little light fall off around 1/2000-1/8000 but that’s what big strobes are for. I simply adjusted my EV and ISO to compensate for that.Recommendations: I’d say this is not what I consider an alternative flash anymore. It should be a first option, a major contender when seeking lighting solutions. The cost I would pay for a Nikon flash I can buy 2 or 3 of these and feel pretty confident it’s going to get the job done.

As a professional photographer, I rely on the flash that gives me speed, durability and accuracy. I was surprised that the Godox V860II has everything I need. It is on par with the high-end model of Nikon Speedlight without the steep price tag.Upon unpacking, the first thing I noticed about the flash was that it is well built and has a solid weight to it. Although I haven't dropped it yet, I wouldn't be surprised that it would survive moderate drops.As any photographer would know, the accuracy of the flash output is extremely important. I tested out the Godox flash for the proper balance between the subject and background and found the flash to be accurate in most scenes. The flash output can be increased by +3 to -3 stops with is useful to control the brightness of the flash. To do so you simply press down the function 2 button and move the dial. Besides the aperture and shutter speed, The Godox also recognizes Auto ISO setting. Which I find is one of the most useful features. When I shoot events, I leave the camera in Auto ISO so I can shoot in bright and low light scenes without having to manually change the ISO. The Godox flash knows when the ISO is changed and adjust the flash output accordingly for properly lit, well-balanced exposure.Another awesome feature about the Nikon version of the Godex is the ability to sync at any shutter speed up to 1/8000 sec. Meaning that you can use it as a fill flash outdoor and shoot any shutter speed. I tested at all shutter speeds on my Nikon D750 and found the flash was evenly lit with well-balanced output at all shutter speed.The Godox is super fast in flash cycle time. In iTTL mode, I was able to fire off my flash rapidly without delay. In manual mode with full flash output, it takes up to 1.5 seconds to charge which is still acceptable. The manual claims that it can fire up to 650 times in full power in a single charge which is a plus for shooting large events. However, it uses an ion battery instead of 4 AA, I would suggest that you buy at least one additional battery as a backup.The flash can be fired off remotely through Nikon' camera's commander mode, or by purchasing a Godox flash transmitter. It also has an RTP mode where you can capture the subjects in motion by a series of flash.There is only one minor drawback about the flash which is the noise from the motor when zooming the camera lens. The Godox is smart enough to know when you zoom in and out before taking a photo, so it would adjust the field of coverage accordingly. The motor does sound a bit loud which can be annoying when shooting in quiet surroundings.The Godox kit cames with a flash bracket that is made of metal and is durable. For me, it's too bulky, but you can add Bowen accessories such as softbox or snoot to the bracket. The bonus flash diffusor that came with the kit is super handy though. I have it attached to the flash all-time for softer lighting.Overall, I am extremely pleased with the Godox flash, With its versatility, high-speed sync, and flash output accuracy, it's the only flash I need for portraits and events.
