Quick-release Lock has been improved and takes the form of a quick lever, ensuring that the flash is securely locked when using the camera.

I can now offer a 5% discount on all purchases at Amplis Foto, Canada’s Leading Photographic Supplier.With the previous version, at 1/2 or even 1/4, thermal protection would kick in at about 20 consecutive shots. Like i mentioned in another review, i cannot share the negative thoughts regarding the mechanism, for me it is as stable as the screwing mechanism and even sits a bit tighter, if you ask me. The V860iii features HSS up to 1/8000th of a second to capture those incredibly crisp images for fast moving action and TTL support (E-TTL II, i-TTL, TTL autoflash). Flash gun Godox TT350 is a small and light flash gun with a guide number of 36 that fits perfectly with mirrorless and compact cameras. With its focusing light / modeling lamp on board (which is a bit more powerful than the V1´s lamp), i can comfortably decide if i want to use that one, or add a standalone focusing light into the mix.

The modelling light on the front of the flash and not on the flash head -- yeah at first that puzzled me too. Also take note of which letter comes after the main part of the model name, as different versions of the flash are available depending on which system you shoot with.CompatibilityTT685 II S is compatible with the Sony E system, so users will enjoy numerous automatic flash settings and the ability to use features such as sync up to 1/8000th of a second. With 10-step flash power adjustment, the V860III also provides better adaptation to any conditions with greater flexibility. I’ve used flash triggers and receivers for years, and being able to ditch some of those components really simplifies the workflow. That said, in my event work, where I'm often lighting a podium from 20m away, the 105mm zoom setting generally works well. I will also point out that the SR-1 adapter lets you use the round AK-R1 magnetic modifiers on a regular fresnel-headed speedlight, if you so choose.

This might be important measurements if you are planning on getting a customized flash diffuser for the speedlite.

de) Wir können aber nicht alle “Botschafter” für OMDS sein, weil viele, so auch ich, noch einem Hauptberuf nachgehen, der es uns erst möglich macht. My only gripe is, that changing the flash power is not as intuitive and fast with the V860III as with its smaller V350 brother. Firstly, although the flash head of the V860III moves forwards and backwards quite smoothly, rotating the flash head does take a little more muscle.

The V860iii is compatible with the latest and leading camera brands such as Canon, Nikon, Sony, Olympus, Panasonic and Pentax. At night this really comes in handy, as well as when your viewfinder is dark and focusing can be challenging. Capable of controlling numerous other Godox X-Series flashes such as the V1, V860ii, AD300Pro, AD100Pro, etc. Options are further expanded through Wi-Fi connectivity which means that at the end of the test, there really is very little to fault.I find the light output and temperature to be extremely consistent, and I also get more consistent TTL results than I used to get in times past.
