While fast lenses and the high ISO capabilities of the best mirrorless cameras go a long way, a lot of photographers will still need to use lighting, particularly on or off-camera flash.
Using external lighting greatly expands your arsenal of photographic tools, enabling you to light portraits more effectively, for example, or capture fast-moving subjects with greater ease.
One of the biggest names in flash photography is Godox, and you can now buy some of its products at great prices from a reseller called InsstroMall.com. A great example is the Godox V100, a recently released on-camera flash.
How the Godox V100 matches your needs
The Godox V100 comes in very handy for a range of photographic genres. Portrait photographers, for example, can achieve soft, natural lighting with adjustable power and dual-light setups. The detachable sub flash can also be used for creative rim light or background effects.
Event and wedding photographers, meanwhile, will appreciate the Godox V100’s ability to capture every moment with 70 full-power consecutive flashes and fast recycling times. They can also rely on the unit’s TTL for quick and accurate exposure adjustments in dynamic environments.
For sports and action photographers, the Godox V100 enables global shutter sync for high-speed shooting up to 1/80,000 seconds, and you can also freeze motion effortlessly with High-Speed Sync (HSS).
Travel and outdoor photographers will also appreciate the Godox V100’s light weight and portabile design, along with the ability to balance harsh sunlight with 100Ws power and wireless flash control.
Last but not least, studio professionals can use the extensive accessory range for advanced lighting setups, or take advantage of the external power options for extended shoots.
The Godox V100: a powerful performer
The Godox V100 sets a new standard for on-camera flashes with its 100Ws maximum output in manual (M) mode. Offering adjustable power steps from 1/1 to 1/256, or from 2.0 to 10, the V100 delivers unparalleled flexibility. From subtle fill light to robust lighting, it adapts to any scenario – whether you’re shooting portraits, events, or outdoor scenes.
Easy touchscreen control
The V100 is equipped with a 2.3-inch full-colour, high-sensitivity touchscreen, offering a smooth and responsive interface.
Its menu design and logical layout enables you to adjust power levels, active High-Speed Sync (HSS), switch between TTL and manual modes and pair devices with just one tap.
Works seamlessly with global shutters
The V100 is compatible with cameras featuring global shutters, such as the Sony Alpha A9 III, supporting shutter speeds up to an astonishing 1/80,000 seconds. This makes it the perfect choice for fast-moving sports photography, as well as balancing harsh sunlight when shooting outdoors or high-speed continuous shooting, achieving effortless synchronisation for every frame.
With TTL functionality, the V100 ensures accurate exposure even in challenging environments.
Unparalleled performance with consecutive flashes
Thanks to its advanced cooling system, the V100 delivers up to 70–100 consecutive full-power flashes at 100Ws without any overheating or performance degradation.
This enhanced shooting efficiency is perfect for demanding event photography, such as weddings, or other high-paced shoots.
Revolutionary detachable sub flash
The V100 also comes with the detachable sub flash (SU-1) design from the popular Godox V1 Pro. This innovative feature enables dual-light setups using a single flash, making it ideal for portrait photography and creative set-ups. The sub flash is very portable too, removing the need to take extra equipment to already demanding photo shoots.
Wireless wonder
The Godox V100 is powered by the built-in Godox 2.4G Wireless X System, allowing it to function as both a master and receiver unit. With one-tap pairing, it integrates with the X3 trigger or other Godox wireless flash units. This feature:
simplifies multi-flash setups, making you more productive, and ensures a smooth and hassle-free workflow, whether shooting in a studio or on location.
Long-lasting battery
The Godox V100 is powered by the same high-performance lithium battery as the V1 Pro, ensuring uninterrupted shooting. Additional features include:
- Type-C charging port for fast, convenient recharging.
- Compatibility with the VC26T Multi-Battery Charger for when you’re on the go.
- Support for the PB960 Lithium-Ion Flash Power Pack, reducing full-power recycling time to as fast as 0.8 seconds – thus making it ideal for high-intensity shooting scenarios.
Built-in LED modelling lamp
The V100 features a 2W LED modeling lamp with 10 adjustable levels. It offers light preview options for easy shot set-up, fil-light capabilities so you can explore different creative solutions and continuous or interrupt modes, tailored to different shooting styles.
