Let's get into it.
Did you know that the Godox V1 Round-Head flash
features a magnetic mounting point here
to support the Godox AK-R1 accessory kit?
The AK-R1 accessory kit includes a bunch of different lighting modifiers
for round-head flashes, including the V1,
and the H200R for the AD200 or the AD200 Pro.
An example of this would be the diffuser dome here
which has four magnetic mounting points and simply attaches to the top there
or to the front of the round-head flash.
The AK-R1 also includes a collapsible snoot,
a balance card, colour temperature inserts,
which cover your colour temperature warm
all the way up to your cool colour temperatures,
honeycomb grids, and barn doors.
Did you know that the Godox V1
is different to a standard traditional speedlight?
It's obvious with its round-flash head shape there
compared to a standard traditional flash.
It also features those magnetic mounting points,
allowing you to use the AK-R1 accessory kit.
The round-flash head offers a round catch light
which means for a more even distribution of light,
which allows it for more softer images when you're using your flash.
It also features a locking knob, which is a slide-and-lock locking knob
compared to the turning-style locking knob,
which means that there's just less risk
of you having to damage your hot-shoe, as well as any mounting points
or value points there when mounting it to a stand.
There's also a battery size increase.
So, this increase here is 2,200 milliamps
as compared to the 2,000 milliamps on the V860II.
Because it is a stronger flash, you only get 480 full power output shots
compared to the 650 on the V860II.
Although, you are getting more output with the Godox V1.
Did you know that the Godox V1 features a modelling lamp
that's built into the round flash head?
This is not usually available in traditional speedlight flashes.
To turn this on,
simply press the little bulb icon which is on the right side of the scroll wheel.
Press down on it once.
Then, press down on the sensor button that turns on the modelling lamp.
And you can step through 10 different levels of intensity
for the modelling lamp.
The modelling lamps are used to get focus in low light situations.
Did you know that the Godox V1 has an inbuilt receiver that
supports the 2.4 gigahertz X-wireless system by Godox.
So, that means it supports the X1 trigger,
the X2 trigger, as well as the XPro trigger.
Now, all you need to do is simply set your channeling group
and pair that up with your actual trigger.
And once they're matching,
you should be able to control that wirelessly
through your trigger to fire off your flash.
Did you know that the Godox V1 supports the new S-type bracket by Godox
which is called the S2?
Previous models of the S-type bracket only fit traditional sized speedlights.
The new S2, specifically, is made for the V1,
with the round-head flash,
so you can mount that directly to your S-type bracket
and also mount a range of different and lighting modifiers,
including softboxes, barn doors, beauty dishes, and more.
Did you know that the Godox V1 features a round-head,
which means that it offers a more natural, softer catch light
compared to a standard traditional flash?
Did you know that the Godox V1
has a larger angle range in terms of the flash heads,
so you can actually move this from negative seven degrees
all the way up to a 120 degrees?
This is great if you're bouncing this off the ceiling,
if you're in an indoor event,
or if you're an indoor photographer, that's perfect for that.
Whereas, in comparison to a traditional speedlight,
it only has that 90-degree range.
That was just a few quick tips about the Godox V1 Round-Head Flash.
If you're wanting to know more about the flash,
we have an unboxing and review video
which we'll link up above and in the description down below.
