Compact flash Godox V1-C Black 1.5s recycling time 420g

The Godox V1-C Black is a compact, round‑headed TTL Speedlight designed for on‑location and studio use. It integrates a high‑capacity 2600 mAh Li‑ion rechargeable battery that delivers up to approximately 480 full‑power flashes per charge and offers a typical recycling time around 1.4–1.5 seconds. The round flash head produces smooth, natural fall‑off lighting compared with traditional rectangular Speedlites and includes a built‑in wireless receiver for remote triggering and control.

Advantages

The V1‑C combines portability and power in a 420 g body with Canon compatibility, a 7.2 V battery input and reliable TTL operation. Its lithium‑ion pack provides consistent recycle performance with minimal slowdown as charge decreases, and the round head yields more even, pleasing light gradients. Built‑in wireless control and multiple modes including HSS and multi‑burst increase creative flexibility.

Suitable for

• Wedding and event photography
• Portrait and fashion shoots
• On‑location commercial and advertising work
• Sports and fitness photography requiring fast recycle

How to use

Attach the V1‑C to a compatible Canon hot shoe or use the built‑in wireless receiver with a Godox transmitter for off‑camera setups. Charge the battery fully before use to achieve rated shot counts and recycling times. Select TTL or manual mode on the flash or camera, choose high‑speed sync (HSS) when required for wide‑aperture daylight shooting, or use multi‑burst for rapid sequences. Position the round head or add modifiers to shape light and achieve the desired soft fall‑off.

Recommendations

For best results on location, carry a spare fully charged battery, use HSS to control ambient light at wide apertures, and pair the V1‑C with bounce or diffusion modifiers to take advantage of the round head’s softer gradient.
