Great tutorial. I am an amateur and not using these devices daily, so it is nice to be able to have a quick refresher if it has been a while since using them.
I have the Neewer Z1, pretty much the same flash as the V1 just different naming and this video SERIOUSLY helped me understand the my speedlight. You sir, are an amazing man.
Fantastic video!! I'm very much a visual person, so seeing everything laid out and explained in depth REALLY helped me understand this light - thank you!
Thank you. Clear information! I know it's a great flash but Ive had a lot of trouble adjusting to it from my other system, so this is extremely helpful.
Beats my ProFoto A1! Really impressed with the V1's battery design, modeling light, strong magnetic attachment for modifiers, nice clean and functional design and quality build. Thanks!
Your video is so awesome and helped me understand the flash. But in ETTL - A mode, I am not seeing it syncing the focus length and exposure with the lens. What am I doing wrong?
Hi Brett, The label for the receiver mode was changed to "Rx" in a firmware update after we published this video. All of the functions are still the same.
Hi, I am new to flash photography and just bought the V1. I don't have the Flash Exposure Bracketing option on my LCD. I am using the V1 on a Sony A6700. Is FEB not an option for this camera? Thanks in advance!
thank you for the info but I might be missing something, I have the the nikon version, when I switch mine on and in i-ttl mode there is no sync button, this only appears when I go to M (manual mode) how do I get it for I-ttl mode?? thanks
My question is where is the optical slave master setting?? In the v860 ii there use to be a lightning symbol indicating that it's a optical slave master ... If this has radio slave only then y does it have N optical reviver ? .. if it has optical slave control then where is it ?? Y is it not as easy to find just like the v860ii . ??? Major question is y is the master even firing ah flash in the first place ??? The receiver is not using optical slave when it's in radio mode. So y not just send the signal ?? Y is it firing and wasting my battery ?? ..
The optical master mode available on the V860ii is not available on the V1. Godox seems to be abandoning support for that feature, as it is not on the V860iii either. When in the radio master mode, you can change the mode on your master group to off (indicated by the double lines). If your master group is off, it will not flash, and it is still able to send the signal to any enabled groups. Two possible areas of confusion: 1. On the Canon version of the V1, your master does not get its own separate group indicated by M. Your master is always assigned to group A. So if you want to control the master independently, make sure none of your off-camera flashes are assigned to group A. 2. Even with the master set to off, the test button on the flash will give you a low power flash. The master will not flash when you trigger it through the hotshoe. I hope this information helps!
simple question: how do you keep the menu light on? It keeps turning off and when we get to the wireless controls, turning it on activates the D channel
Great video, but I cannot for the life of me get my Sony A7iii to work with it as a bracketed set up - I can't seem to get it on ETTR,... any suggestions? google has failed me!
Can you use HSS with the V1 off camera? Whenever I go into the "orange" mode if I activate HSS on my trigger it doesn't register in the "orange" mode on the V1.
Have a somewhat dumb question, but don’t think it was covered in the vid. When using Wireless mode, it seems to not work when the camera is set to Auto. Even when I turn wireless on, when I hit the shutter it goes back to regular ETTL. Is this expected behavior, or am I doing something wrong or have a faulty flash?
In your video “Godox V1 TTL Speedlite - Complete Walkthrough” at timestamp 7:53 when turning on the flash, the menu is showing “TCM - SYNC - FEB” In the video “Godox XPro II (2024) Radio Controller Complete Walkthrough” at timestamp 17:56 when turning on the flash the menu is showing only “TCM” How do I access the “SYNC - FEB” options in the menu? I have tried several times without any success. Thanks in advance.
Great concise video. I'm not quite sure of the modelling lamp's purpose. Can it be used as a light source without the flash triggering? Love to see it in action. Newby to flash!
Hello and thank you for this video :) I've got a quick question, is it possible to automatic turn on the modeling lamp whenf focusing to have a focus on a dark place ? and then it turn off ?
Thank you this was a great video!! I wonder if you could answer I have the canon r3 and with the new hot shoe, will this be ok using this flash not worried about the waterproof. Canon does have a adapter some say you need it and some saw you don't!!!!! Hope you can answer Thank you this is the best video on RUclips for this flash.
Hi Debbie, We don't have much hands on experience with Canon's new accessory shoe, but I know there can be some pin alignment issues that will cause your camera to give you an error code. Carefully aligning the pins is less of an issue with a flash trigger like the XPro or X2T. A V1 flash could be more prone to sliding. For that reason, you might want to invest in the adapter even though it adds a bit of height to the setup.
Thank you a lot for getting back to me I just got the little adapter it is very small so that is good going to be trying OCF today I hope it goes good again thank you
Excellent video - very helpful and comprehensive. I have just purchased a Nikon Z 8, with no mechanical shutter. Do you know if HSS and Z8 is working properly with Godox Speedlite V1 for Nikon?
We haven't independently confirmed it yet, but the Z8 should be fully compatible with the V1's latest firmware. Strobepro has sold hundreds of V1N flashes, and I haven't heard any specific complaints about the Z8. We hope that no news is good news!
Hello, I just purchased the Sony version and have it paired with my a7iii. I noticed the auto zoom isn’t working as did yours in the video. Manual zoom is working ok. Any suggestions or answers as to why? Thanks!

Thank you for the tutorial! I wish manufacturers could start making quality videos like this instead of us reading confusing manuals.
Amen! The manuals are written by ENGINEERS for ENGINEERS and not for the average consumer who purchased the product.
100% agree.
Holy cow. This video was EXACTLY what I was looking for. Really, really well done. Thank you very much.

My V1c in the orange screen says "RX" and not slave ...what is the difference? and Can I change it?
Hi Brett,
The label for the receiver mode was changed to "Rx" in a firmware update after we published this video. All of the functions are still the same.
Thank you, very well presented!

Hi, I am new to flash photography and just bought the V1. I don't have the Flash Exposure Bracketing option on my LCD. I am using the V1 on a Sony A6700. Is FEB not an option for this camera? Thanks in advance!

Great video. However, I've still about three questions, whom to ask?
Can you use HSS with the V1 off camera? Whenever I go into the "orange" mode if I activate HSS on my trigger it doesn't register in the "orange" mode on the V1.
Have a somewhat dumb question, but don’t think it was covered in the vid. When using Wireless mode, it seems to not work when the camera is set to Auto. Even when I turn wireless on, when I hit the shutter it goes back to regular ETTL. Is this expected behavior, or am I doing something wrong or have a faulty flash?
How do I set the zoom on my V1 on A (automatic) to get it to automatically zoom for my 24-70?
When adjusting the zoom, bringing it one click to the left past the minimum zoom should switch it to A.
Sync and Feb don't appear in my menu on the Fuji version... Or am I doing something wrong?
Really nice information
Thanks!
I just purchased and wondering if the "A" is specific to canon. My flash has the "M" and wondering if this is ok for my canon cameras? Thanks
Anazing video❤
In your video “Godox V1 TTL Speedlite - Complete Walkthrough” at timestamp 7:53 when turning on the flash, the menu is showing “TCM - SYNC - FEB”

Thank you very much for the support!
Thank you for great walk through. Is there a way to set up so flash does fire to match shutter speed ?

I am using this flash on my zv-e1. However, the max shutter speed is limited to 1/30 on my camera. Can anyone help here?
Can you adjust the length of time that the screen blue backlight remains on?
EDIT: Got it, never mind. It's in the menus.
