Godox V860 TTL speedlight

The V860 is Godox’s second generation lithium-ion powered on-camera flash, and the Chinese company had to deal with a few teething problems early on, but now with all the bugs sorted there’s no question this is the way to travel. Given that you’re unlikely to be always flashing at full power, the ‘real world’ range is likely to be much more than 650 pops… certainly enough to cover the typical wedding, for example. The V860 packs a handy punch in terms of flash power too, with a metric guide number of 58 at ISO 100, which equates to a working aperture of around f32 at one metre. And, inevitably, it’s significantly cheaper than the comparable camera-branded speedlights – even when you add in an RF wireless transmitter/receiver kit – yet the feature set is pretty competitive.
