The new V850 Ving from Godox would have to be one of the nicest inexpensive manual speedlites currently available. And they are not just a pretty face, Godox have slipped some groundbreaking features into this very impressive little flash as well.

 
The new V850 Ving from Godox would have to be one of the nicest inexpensive manual speedlites currently available. And they are not just a pretty face, Godox have slipped some groundbreaking features into this very impressive little flash as well.

UPDATE – There is now a full TTL version V860 also available – Full Review Here.

Firstly the V850 are the first inexpensive manual speedlite available with remote manual power control via radio.

Power levels of a number of off camera flash units can be adjusted remotely from a fast and simple transmitter unit, either mounted on the camera hotshoe, or even held in hand.

And not only that, HSS (High Speed Sync) is also available off camera when using an appropriate transmitter unit (for Canon or Nikon).

A compact FTR-16s radio receiver units clips neatly to the side of the flash and does not require any batteries.

The FT-16 radio transmitter provides one of the fastest and simplest remote manual power control interfaces currently available, and controls up to 16 groups of flashes.

Being a single firing pin on the transmitter foot it can also be used with just about any camera with a standard hotshoe.

The FT-16 never miss a beat, and range will easily reach 100 meters. In real use that’s a big practical advantage over many higher priced TTL systems currently available.

And the FT-16 transmitter are the same as used with the already very popular Godox Witstro.

So the V850 integrate seamlessly with the larger bare bulb lights, all using the same system of remote power control.

And all with HSS off camera if needed (for Canon and Nikon, and using an appropriate Cells II or similar transmitter unit).

Hidden inside the V850 though is where the most ground breaking feature lies. A small note on the battery door is the only hint that there is actually something pretty special about this flash –

The V850 are the worlds first Lithium-Ion powered speedlight, replacing AA batteries altogether.

The compact VB18 battery mounted neatly inside the V850, and providing a massive 650 full power pops! With full power recycle time of just 1.5 seconds.
