Godox Ving V480C TTL On-Camera Flash for Canon
Product Description
The Godox Ving V480C TTL On-Camera Flash is a powerful, yet compact lighting solution designed specifically for Canon cameras using the E-TTL / E-TTL II automatic flash system. This portable, shoe-mounted flash is an excellent choice for photographers who need a versatile unit that performs equally well on-camera for run-and-gun shooting or off-camera as part of a sophisticated wireless setup.
This multi-tool is ideal for wedding, portrait, event, and photojournalism photographers who rely on fast, consistent lighting. It is also perfect for users of the Godox X system who need a smaller, medium-power flash unit to complement their existing lighting kit.
The V480C solves the challenge of high-speed shooting by delivering fast recycling times and superior battery life without requiring heavy, external power packs. It also eliminates the need for fiddly external radio triggers when using it as a transmitter or receiver within the reliable Godox X wireless system, keeping your setup clean and simple.
Featuring a convenient 2.4 GHz X wireless radio system, the V480C seamlessly integrates with other Godox X-system units, allowing for advanced multi-flash setups with a wireless range of up to 100 metres. Its powerful guide number of 50 metres (at ISO 100) and flexible head that tilts from -7 to 120 degrees ensures you have ample illumination and creative bounce options. The efficient, removable lithium battery provides up to 650 full-power flashes with a rapid 1.7 second recycling time, ensuring you won't miss a shot during continuous action. Furthermore, the intuitive 5.08 cm (2 inch) touchscreen and onboard LED modelling light make operation quick and precise.

Common Dos and Don'ts
✓ Do try bounce flash by tilting the head up towards a white ceiling or wall for softer, more natural light.
✓ Do check the battery indicator on the LCD panel often, especially when shooting at high power, to ensure you don't run out of charge mid-session.
✓ Do use the built-in radio system to experiment with off-camera lighting; even placing the flash just 2 metres away can dramatically improve your lighting control.
✗ Don't forget to use the wide-angle diffuser when shooting at a focal length wider than 24 mm to ensure even light coverage.
✗ Don't use alkaline or nickel-metal hydride (NiMH) batteries in this unit- it is designed exclusively for the provided lithium battery pack.
✗ Don't rely solely on TTL mode; switch to Manual when shooting in a consistent environment to gain finer control over your exposure.
