Wireless Control and Multi-light Operation
The built-in 2.4GHz Godox X system allows for full wireless control and connection with other flashes in the system. This makes it easy to create multi-source light setups and control individual light groups remotely without the need for cables or external triggers. This system significantly speeds up workflow and expands the possibilities for creative lighting in various photographic situations.
Professional Modes and Creative Syncing
The flash supports i-TTL automatic mode for Nikon cameras, manual settings, and a Multi mode, allowing for precise light adjustment to a specific scene. It also features High-Speed Sync (HSS) up to 1/8000s, first and second curtain sync, and flash exposure compensation. This makes the device suitable for fast-paced reportage work as well as for controlled studio lighting and creative motion photography.
Fast and Precise Control
The flash allows for intuitive adjustment of all functions thanks to a combination of a clear display and physical controls. The user interface is designed to allow for quick changes to power and modes without unnecessary delays during a photoshoot. This design facilitates work in the field and in the studio, where speed and smooth operation are key.
Variable Light Direction
The flash head can be tilted from approximately –7° to 120° and swivelled 330°, allowing for precise light aiming according to the scene's needs. This versatility makes it easier to work with bounced light from ceilings or walls and helps create softer, more natural lighting. Thanks to the quick head position adjustment, you can easily adapt to various photographic situations, both indoors and outdoors.
Precise Flash Range Control
The flash provides an overview of the effective flash range directly on the display, which makes it easier to estimate the correct exposure in real time. This gives the photographer immediate information on whether the subject is within the optimal light range, which is particularly useful in small spaces, with bounced light, or in dynamic situations. This solution helps eliminate guesswork and speeds up the workflow when setting up lighting conditions.
Lightweight and Easily Portable Design
The flash is designed with an emphasis on low weight and compact dimensions, making it comfortable to use in the field and in the studio. Thanks to its balanced design, it is easy to hold and fits effortlessly into a standard camera bag. This allows for mobile work without unnecessary burden, while still maintaining full power for demanding photographic situations.
Advanced Flash Modes
The flash offers multiple exposure control modes including i-TTL, manual, and Multi mode, allowing the light to be adapted to various photographic situations. It supports High-Speed Sync up to 1/8000s, flash exposure compensation, and both first and second curtain sync. These features expand the creative possibilities when working with motion, natural light, and lighting effects.
Light Shaping Options
The flash allows you to modify the character of the light using integrated elements, which help to change its final appearance directly during the photoshoot. They can be used to achieve more distinct catchlights in the eyes or, conversely, a softer and more even diffusion of light for group shots or wider scenes. These options facilitate quick adaptation of the light output without the need for additional external accessories.
Modelling LED Light for Lighting Preview
The flash is equipped with a built-in LED modelling light, which allows you to check the direction and character of the light before the actual flash. With multiple brightness levels, you can easily fine-tune the scene's lighting and better visualise the final shadows and light transitions. This feature makes it easier to set up the light precisely, especially for portrait and product photography.
Wireless Control and Light Linking
The built-in 2.4GHz Godox X system allows the flash to function as both a transmitter and a receiver, which simplifies connection with other lights within the same system. Thanks to the support for multiple channels, individual light groups can be easily separated and controlled independently as needed. This solution enables convenient wireless control of multiple flashes without the need for external triggers.
Long Battery Life and Fast Charging
The flash is equipped with a replaceable 7.2V/2,200mAh Li-ion battery, which provides approximately 650 full-power flashes on a single charge. With a recycling time of around 1.7 seconds, the device is ready for the next flash without significant delays. USB-C charging also makes it easy to top up the battery between photoshoots.
Complete Ready-to-Use Kit
The package includes a Godox V480N external flash, a Li-ion battery, a USB-C cable, a power adapter, a mini stand, a diffuser, a protective case, and user documentation. The package provides the essential accessories for using the flash both on and off the camera, while also making it easy to charge, transport, and store safely.
