Portraits with the Godox V1 Roundhead Speedlight (Flashpoint Zoom Li on X)

Рет қаралды 54,523

Күн бұрын

The awesome people at Pergear sent me the Godox V1 Roundhead Speedlite (Flashpoint Zoom Li on X) to review.
I did an off camera flash portrait session with my homie from high school's daughter.
I love the fact that the head swivels 360 degrees with ease. The round head gives a more even and round spread of light. It does High Speed Sync (HSS) up to 1/8000 second, has TTL and works as a master and a slave and much more. This roundhead speedlite is great for portraits, on or off camera. It's a competitor to the much more expensive Profoto A1 Speedlite.
Hope you enjoy this video, drop some comments, like and don't forget to subscribe.

I think it would have been better to use an ND filter to get the shutter speed below the camera’s high speed sync. Then you wouldn’t have to work the speedlight so hard, it would speed up your work flow as you wouldn’t have as much recycle time.

When using HSS or high speed sync, the speedlight is putting out a bunch of light pulses which draws a lot of power and creates heat. A HSS 11 second recycle time can be expected. 1/1 in HSS can overheat and cook the flash. Lesser manual settings are easier on it.

@tourinojacks5844 7 ай бұрын

I see that you too had issues with the Godox V1 during your session. I have a Godox V1 and I'm having an issue with it not firing "sometimes" when I boost it up to 1/32, 1/16, or 1/8 intermittently. In order for it to work again, after I've taken a few shots and I've realized that it has not fired, I then have to hit the button with the flash symbol on the V1 in order to get it to fire again. So I was wondering if this is a "well known issue" with these affordably priced V1c, or just isolated situation that I'm having with mine? I am new to flash so I am guessing that it is me, but logically, it doesn't make sense to me when timewise, it is usually "longer than" the 1.5 seconds flash recycle time. I wonder if it is my settings. NOTE: I shoot in Manaul flash mode in case this matters.

@marclabro 4 жыл бұрын

hello, you are the specialist but I think that in sunlight, at 1/40sec your camera is sensitive enough to see any motion of the girl. it would freeze it if background without flash was black, like 1/2000sec or with a ND filter.
