Godox V850III Manual Camera Flash Speedlite
Certified Importer & Seller Of Godox In South Africa
Product Description
The Godox V850III is a manual lithium-ion speedlight with a guide number of 60m (ISO 100, 200mm) and the Godox X wireless system built in, giving photographers consistent, repeatable output and full control over flash power.
It's a manual-only flash, so there's no TTL variability, just precise, repeatable power adjustment ideal for controlled studio, off-camera, and multi-light setups. A high-capacity 7.2V lithium-ion battery delivers fast recycling of about 1.5 seconds at full power and long shooting sessions, avoiding the slow recycling and fading output of AA-powered flashes.
The built-in 2.4GHz Godox X system lets it work as both transmitter and receiver for reliable multi-light communication across five groups and 32 channels. The head tilts from -7 to 120° and rotates 330° for bounce lighting off walls and ceilings, and the automatic 20-200mm zoom matches the beam to your lens for efficient coverage. High-speed sync is available when the flash is used off-camera with a compatible Godox X trigger.
Ideal for: photographers who prefer manual flash control for studio, off-camera, and multi-light setups, and want li-ion speed with wireless control.
TTL output can vary shot to shot, which isn't ideal for controlled lighting. The V850III answers that with fully manual power for repeatable results, a li-ion battery for faster recycling, and integrated radio control for advanced multi-flash setups at a lower cost than a TTL model.
Please note: This is a manual-only flash and does not support TTL metering. High-speed sync is available only when used off-camera with a compatible Godox X trigger. It may not function correctly on Canon entry-level bodies without a centre pin (e.g. 2000D, 3000D, 4000D) unless used with a trigger.
