Godox V1 vs V860II Comparison // Zoom R2 Li-on X

In this video I discuss the comparisons between the new Godox V1 vs. V860II. Under Flashpoint this would be R2 Zoom Li-on X vs R2 Zoom Li-on TTL. Many were expecting this to be an upgrade in terms of light output, however they are extremely close. The V1 has a slightly faster recycle speed. The V1 has a significant advantage in light quality, which is important for direct modifiers such as grids, snoots, and even shoot through umbrellas. In bounce modifiers it is unlikely that you will noitce any difference.

The V1 also has an advantage with the available AK-R1 magnetic modifier kit. This is a great alternative to the Magmod modifiers.
My favorite improvement on the Godox V1 is the speed of control when using as a master for other off camera godox lighting. Everything about the V1 is a touch faster in terms of control, most notably navigating between off camera flashes and changing their mode and power.

I will be comparing the Godox V1 to the Profoto A1 very soon, so keep an eye out for that video.
