Product Information
Full details
The Godox V1 Mid Flashgun is designed for photographers seeking softer, more even light from a compact on-camera flash. Its key benefit is the round head, which provides a more pleasing light quality compared to traditional rectangular flashes, all in a smaller, travel-ready form factor. A potential caveat is its position below the full-size V1, meaning it offers a slightly more limited feature set for advanced users. This flash offers 650 full-power flashes, a 1.7-second recycle time, built-in wireless control, and USB-C charging for convenience.

FAQs
What is the main advantage of the V1 Mid's round head?
The round head provides a softer, more even light spread, which is more flattering for subjects compared to the harsher light from traditional rectangular flashes.
How long does the battery last?
It can deliver up to 650 full-power flashes on a single charge, with a recycle time of approximately 1.7 seconds at full power.
Can I use this flash with Nikon or Sony cameras?
This specific model is designed for Canon TTL systems. While it might function in manual mode with other brands, TTL auto-exposure will not work correctly without a specific Canon camera.
Is the battery rechargeable?
Yes, the flash uses a rechargeable lithium-ion battery and features convenient USB-C charging.
What does TTL mean?
TTL stands for Through-The-Lens metering. It allows the camera to automatically control the flash output for a correct exposure, simplifying flash photography.
Can I use multiple V1 Mid flashguns together?
Yes, the V1 Mid features built-in wireless control, allowing it to be used as a master or slave unit within the Godox wireless system for multi-light setups.
Troubleshooting
Flash does not fire
Check that the flash is properly mounted on the camera's hot shoe and locked. Ensure the flash and camera are powered on. Verify TTL mode is enabled and the camera is not in a mode that disables flash. Check battery level.
Inconsistent flash exposure
Ensure the flash is in correct TTL mode for your Canon camera. Check for any obstructions between the flash and the camera's infrared receiver if using optical wireless. Calibrate flash settings if possible through the camera or flash menu.
Slow recycle time
The recycle time may increase if the battery is low. Ensure the battery is fully charged. Lowering the flash output power will result in faster recycle times.
Flash not communicating wirelessly
Verify that the flash is set to the correct wireless mode (master or slave) and that the channel and group settings match your transmitter or other flashes. Ensure there are no major obstructions blocking the wireless signal.
