Round Head for More Natural Light
The Godox V1 mid S uses a round flash head that helps to create more even light with smoother transitions between light and shadow. Compared to a classic rectangular head, the output looks more natural, which you will appreciate especially for portraits, reportage, or when working with bounced light. The round character of the light makes it easier to achieve a softer look, even when shooting in dynamic situations.
Godox Optical System for Even Illumination
The flash is built on the Godox optical system, which combines a precisely designed light source and an optimised lens system. The result is better-controlled light output, more even coverage, and more natural transitions across the shot. The stable character of the light helps to achieve consistent results in portraits, action shots, and when working with different focal lengths.
More Compact Body for Better Mobility
The Godox V1 mid S is designed for photographers who need reliable performance in a smaller, better-balanced body. The weight of approximately 413g including the battery makes longer handheld shooting easier and reduces fatigue during all-day use. The compact design is ideal for weddings, reportage, travel, and on-location shooting where speed and comfortable handling are important.
Touch Control for Quick Adjustments
The clear touch interface allows you to quickly change power, modes, wireless settings, and other important parameters. The controls are designed to be intuitive even when working at a fast pace. Quick access to functions saves time during shooting and helps you react smoothly to changes in light, composition, or the movement of your subjects.
Professional TTL, Manual, and Multi Modes
The Godox V1 mid S offers automatic TTL metering, a manual mode, and a stroboscopic Multi mode. This makes it easy to adapt to different working styles—from fast reportage shooting to carefully prepared lighting setups. TTL mode makes quick exposure easy, while manual settings give you full control over the flash output.
HSS and Global Shutter Sync
The flash supports high-speed sync up to 1/8000s, first-curtain sync, and second-curtain sync. The V1 mid S version also supports Global Shutter Sync on compatible Sony cameras with a global shutter, up to 1/80000s. Short sync speeds expand the possibilities of working with flash when shooting in bright daylight, with motion, or with an open aperture.
Fast Recycling and Long Battery Life
The 7.2V / 2200mAh Li-ion battery provides approximately 650 full-power flashes. The recycling time is up to 1.7 seconds, so the flash remains ready even for faster shooting. Long battery life on a single charge reduces interruptions to your work during weddings, events, reportage, and longer portrait sessions. The flash battery supports USB-C charging, which makes it easy to top up your energy at home, in the studio, or on the go. You can charge it with a suitable adapter or power bank, so it will stay ready even when working away from a power socket. USB-C charging increases flexibility when shooting on location and simplifies working with standard charging accessories.
Built-in LED Modelling Light
The flash includes a 2W LED modelling light with a colour temperature of 5300K ±200K. It helps to preview the direction of the light, the basic character of the shadows, and the distribution of light on the scene. The modelling light makes it easier to prepare the shot for portraits, product photography, and when working in darker environments.
Tilting and Rotating Head for Bounced Light
The flash head tilts from -7° to 120° and rotates horizontally from 0° to 330°. This allows you to easily bounce light off a ceiling, wall, or reflective surface to create softer, more natural lighting. The wide range of head movement facilitates creative work with the direction of light without needing to change the camera's position.
Automatic and Manual Zoom 24–105mm
The Godox V1 mid S supports automatic coverage adjustment based on the lens focal length, as well as manual zoom in the 24–105mm range. You can adjust the light cone for wide-angle shots, portraits, and more detailed compositions. The adjustable zoom helps to make better use of the flash's power according to the specific lens and scene.
Godox X 2.4GHz Wireless System
The integrated Godox X 2.4GHz wireless system allows the flash to be used as both a transmitter and a receiver. It supports 32 channels, ID 01–99, and a range of approximately 70 metres, so you can easily incorporate it into a multi-light setup. Wireless control makes working in the studio and outdoors easier, especially if you need to control multiple flashes at once.
Compatibility with AK-R1 Accessories and Bowens Modifiers
The round head of the flash is compatible with Godox AK-R1 magnetic accessories, which allow you to quickly change the character of the light using diffusers, barn doors, filters, or other add-ons. When using the Godox S3 bracket, the flash can also be combined with selected Bowens modifiers. Wide compatibility expands the possibilities for shaping light for portraits, events, and creative photography.
Ideal for Portraits, Weddings, and Reportage
The Godox V1 mid S is suitable for photographers who need a fast, reliable, and versatile flash for everyday work. It can be used for portraits, weddings, events, reportage, travel, and product photography. The combination of power, mobility, and wireless features allows the flash to be used directly on the camera or off-camera in a more complex lighting setup.
