FAQs
What is the main advantage of the Godox V1's round head?
The round head design creates a softer, more even light that wraps around the subject more naturally than traditional speedlites, reducing harsh shadows and providing a more pleasing aesthetic.
How long does the battery typically last?
The rechargeable Li-ion battery can provide up to 480 full power flashes on a single charge, with a recycle time of less than 1.5 seconds at full power.
Can I use other Godox modifiers with the V1?
Yes, the V1 features a magnetic accessory ring that allows for quick attachment of Godox's proprietary V1 series modifiers. Adapters may be needed for non-V1 specific modifiers.
Is the XPRO Nikon Trigger required for the V1 to work?
No, the V1 can be used as a standalone speedlite directly on-camera. However, the XPRO Nikon Trigger is required for wireless remote control and off-camera flash operation with Nikon cameras.
What is the warranty period for the Godox V1?
This product includes an extended warranty card for a three-year warranty.
Can the V1 be used with cameras other than Nikon?
The V1 speedlite itself is universally compatible with Godox wireless radio systems. However, the XPRO Nikon Trigger is specifically for Nikon cameras. To use the V1 with other camera brands (Canon, Sony, Fuji, etc.), you would need a compatible Godox trigger for that specific camera system.
Troubleshooting
Flash not firing
Ensure the speedlite and trigger are powered on, within range, and set to the same radio channel and group. Check battery levels for both devices. Verify the speedlite is securely mounted on the trigger.
Inconsistent exposures in TTL mode
Ensure the camera's exposure settings (aperture, shutter speed, ISO) are appropriate for the scene. Use exposure compensation on the flash or camera if needed. Check for any reflective surfaces that might be confusing the TTL sensor.
Trigger not communicating with speedlite
Confirm both units are set to the same wireless channel (CH) and group (GR). Try resetting both devices. Ensure there are no strong wireless interferences in the vicinity.
Slow recycle time
Check the battery level of the speedlite; a low battery can significantly increase recycle time. Allow the battery to cool if it has been used extensively for a short period. Ensure the battery is correctly inserted.
