Let’s get into it.
Okay, so I've got the Full Range of Godox Speedlite Flashes
that are available at the moment.
With Godox, I've got the TT350,
which is a smaller flashy, the 600, and the 685.
So, those are the Standard Speedlites.
And on the right of me here, I've got the V860, and also the V350.
So, it's basically the lithium-ion battery operated versions
of the Standard Speedlites.
Now, going through some of the features,
firstly, are the smaller flashes.
So, these are the 350 range.
That's the TT350 and the V350.
Now, the main differences between the two of these,
are that the V350 has a lithium-ion battery included
and because it has a lithium-ion battery included,
that means the recycle time is a lot faster on the 350
compared to one that's operated by AA batteries only.
So, let's have a quick look at some of the other features of these two flashes.
So, I've got the TT350 with me here and also, the V350.
So the V350, as mentioned, has the lithium-ion battery included,
so the actual flashes themselves pretty much look identical.
The only differences that you can tell are really the model number,
and when you look into the battery compartment.
So, the battery compartment,
obviously, houses the lithium-ion battery compared to the AA batteries
that you'll need to provide yourself with the TT350.
The actual weight itself is slightly heavier with the V350.
Obviously, housing that larger lithium-ion battery
but that does come with the improved recycle time with the V350
because it is operated by that lithium-ion battery,
you actually get an improved recycle time.
So, from 0.1 second all the way up to 1.7 seconds at full output,
compared to the TT350, you've got it from 0.1 second up to 2.2 seconds.
So, you can see, you lose about, I think, 0.7 of a recycle time there.
So, that's still an improved recycle time
considering you're only using a rechargeable battery.
So, that's a great inclusion.
In terms of the flashes themselves, their high-speed sync flashes
from all the way up to 1/8000 seconds.
You've got TTL as well included.
So, you've got Manual, Multi, and TTL Modes.
That's really great.
You've got your standard Optical Sensor and AF Assist Beams on your flashes.
Other things included, you've obviously got Master Mode
and it also works with Godox’s new X-Wireless Triggering System.
So, all in all, these flashes are great little Flashes.
They're actually available in all the major brands
including Canon, Nikon, Sony, Olympus, and Fuji.
And because these are smaller flashes,
obviously, that means there's slightly less output than the larger flashes.
So, these flashes here have a guide number of 36 at ISO 100
compared to a guide number of 60 at ISO 100,
with the larger standard sized flashes.
So, the next step up from the Godox 350 range
is a full-sized flash.
It's a manual flash and it's the Godox TT600.
So, the TT600 is a full-sized manual flash,
it has high-speed sync, and there's no TTL.
Being manual, so that means you have to manually control the flash yourself.
In terms of the actual features, it has high-speed sync
all the way up to 1/8000 of a second.
It has a recycle time of 0.1 seconds up to 2.6 seconds,
and it has the guide number of 60 as mentioned.
So, let's have a quick look at TT600.
So, I've got the TT600 with me here.
This one's the TT600S and the ‘S’ stands for Sony,
so this is a Sony model.
And the reason why this is the Sony model,
is that there's two models for the 600 range.
So, it's just the standard Manual TT600 and the 600S
because the Sony has its own Hot Shoe
which is the multifunction interface Sony Hot Shoe,
so that's compatible with Sony only and no other flashes.
The other model, the TT600, is the universal one
that can pretty much be used with any camera.
You can mount that to pretty much any Hot Shoe as well.
In terms of some of the features of the flash,
so we'll go through some of the controls.
Obviously, it can only do Multi-Mode and Manual Modes.
So, you have to manually control the flash.
It's compatible with Godox’s X-Trigger System,
so that means you can use the X-Pro or the X1-Triggers.
So, we'll go through some of the actual features included in the TT600.
At the front port here, you have a DC input,
so that's for the Godox Pro Pack Range.
There's the PB960 or the PB820
and you can use external battery packs to operate the flash.
You still need to use the AA batteries with the actual flash,
but when you plugged-in the ProPack into this,
that will increase your recycle time,
so it's perfect for wedding or event photographers
where you know you can't miss a shot, basically, when you're on the go.
That's perfect to use with that.
And also in terms of the modes,
you can only go through the Manual and the Multi-Modes,
obviously, being a manual flash,
but if you like to learn how to use your flash,
Manual is definitely the best way to go about doing it.
Now, the last flashes in Godox’s Speedlite Flash Range,
are the TT685 and the V860.
So, these two flashes here are pretty much the same flash
and just like the 350 range,
this is the standard speed light that's operated by AA batteries,
but this one here has a lithium-ion battery included.
In terms of the features,
they've got the guide number the same at 60.
You've got high-speed sync all the way up to 1/8000 of a second,
you've got TTL, and it's a full master speed light.
It's available in multiple brands so in your major brands,
are just Canon, Nikon, Sony, Fuji, and Olympus,
so the same as the others in the smaller range.
And overall, they’re great flashes
and great replacement Flashes, aftermarket flashes,
compared to those available with the actual brands themselves.
So, if you're not going for a Canon, or Nikon, or a Sony flash,
Godox is a great brand to look up.
Having a closer look at the 685 and the 860,
they're really pretty much identical
in terms of their form factor, design, button placement,
basically, everything looks exactly the same.
The only difference is the model number at the top
and the battery compartment, similar to the 350 range.
The battery compartment here houses the lithium-ion battery
and that's on the 860.
And on the 685,
you've only about the four AA batteries that you can operate the flash with.
Now, in terms of recycle time improvements,
the V860, the recycle time has improved
because it uses Godox proprietary lithium-ion battery,
and that one there, increases the recycle time
from 0.1 seconds all the way up to 1.5 second recycle time.
Compared to the 685, which is operated by the AA batteries,
from 0.1 seconds up to 2.6 seconds.
So, you can see that's a significant increase in terms of time and speed,
1.1 seconds improvement on the V860,
so it's really great for wedding and event photographers, once again,
and it's perfect for all this sort of really fast-paced photo shoots that you do.
If recycle time is important to you, definitely go for the 860.
Now, to improve the recycle time on these units,
you can still do so only on the 685 with the Pro Pack.
If you don't want to go for the V860 and the lithium-ion battery,
you can purchase a Pro Pack and the 685
and you can input that into the DC port at the front here
and that improve your recycle time
depending on if you're using a single cable or a double cable with that Pro Pack,
and that will improve your recycle time.
All in all, they're great flashes.
This is a full-sized flash that are available in all the major brands.
Basically, great flashes to look out
if you're not going for the actual brand flashes themselves.
Now, we have some accessories here that are compatible
with the Full Godox Range of Speedlite Flashes.
Firstly, we've got some triggers.
So, there's two triggers that Godox have that work on the Godox X-System,
and that's the X1-Trigger and the X-Pro Trigger.
These all have the specific model flashes
of the cameras that you'll be using.
So, if you're using in Canon, Nikon, Sony, Fuji, or Olympus,
there's specific Triggers for specific cameras.
The differences between the two triggers
are that the X-Pro has a larger display and it's easier to use,
so it's easier to cycle through some of the buttons
because it has a lot more buttons there,
and it's a lot more user-friendly.
Other than that, they pretty much do the same thing
because all of these flashes here, they have inbuilt receivers
so you don't need to purchase a receiver separately.
You'll just need to use the wireless trigger,
set the channel in the group,
and then, set it the same on the flashes and you're good to go.
Good to go for an off-camera flash setup.
Another accessory to look at,
would be perhaps the Flash Diffuser Cover.
So, Flash Diffuser Cover is great to soften the light
especially with direct light not being too flattering on someone,
or likely your subject, directly onto their skin.
It's a lot better to diffuse that with a Flash Diffuser.
And secondly, we have the Pro Pack here.
This is the Pro Pack I was discussing.
You can use this little cable.
So this here, the Pro Pack has two inputs,
you can use a splitter cable to feed it into one cable,
and these are the cables here, the CX Cable,
and there's different ones for different model flashes as well,
and you can feed it into it one cable
so you can have two inputs going into a single source into your flash
and that increases the recycle time with the use of the Pro Pack.
And then lastly, we have the spare batteries.
So, the spare batteries here are obviously available
for Godox’s flashes that have the lithium batteries included.
So, you've got the spare batteries for the V860 and also the 350.
That means that you can have spare batteries charged up good to go
when you're on your shoot, when you run out of juice in those batteries
when you're on your shoot.
That was a quick run-through and comparison
of Godox’s Full Range of Speedlite Flashes.
