A new on-camera flash has entered the market, delivering an unprecedented 100 Ws of power in a compact, round-head design. Compatible with multiple camera systems, Godox V100 combines intuitive touchscreen controls with versatile wireless features for streamlined shooting. With robust features like dual-light capabilities and global shutter sync, it meets the demands of diverse photography scenarios.
The Godox V100 continues the legacy of the V1, first introduced in 2019, while building on the innovations of the V1 Pro launched earlier this year. Delivering 100 Ws of power, it marks a significant leap forward for on-camera flashes, offering photographers greater creative flexibility through more flash power. Its round-head design ensures smooth and natural light falloff, and the 2.3-inch full-color touchscreen provides an intuitive interface for quick adjustments during shoots.
As the final Godox announcement of the year, the V100 introduces advanced features to meet diverse lighting needs. It supports global shutter cameras and offers exposure times as short as 1/80 000 seconds for precise lighting control. The advanced cooling system ensures up to 100 consecutive full-power flashes, while the detachable subflash adds versatility, enabling dual-light setups for creative possibilities.
Unprecedented Power in a Compact Design
Delivering an industry-first 100 Ws of power for an on-camera flash, the V100 sets a new benchmark for performance. Its round-head design ensures smooth light falloff, while the adjustable power range makes it versatile for everything from subtle fill lighting to bold, high-intensity bursts. Enhanced by an advanced cooling system, the flash can sustain up to 100 consecutive full-power flashes, ensuring consistent performance even during prolonged sessions.
Streamlined Controls and Seamless Integration
Designed with user efficiency in mind, the V100 features a 2.3-inch full-color touchscreen that allows for quick adjustments to power levels, modes, and settings. Pairing the flash with the X3 transmitter is as simple as a single tap, enabling seamless integration into multi-flash setups. Fully compatible with the Godox Wireless X System, the V100 adapts effortlessly to diverse lighting configurations, offering photographers flexibility and control in any environment.
Advanced Tools for Expanded Possibilities
Building on the design of the V1 Pro, the V100 includes the same detachable subflash, offering flexibility for dual-light setups when needed. Its built-in LED modeling lamp features adjustable brightness levels, helping photographers preview effects or add subtle fill light. The V100 is compatible with multiple tried-and-tested accessories for round-head flashes, like the AK-R21 projection attachment, AK-R22 diffusion dome or S2 Bowens bracket.
Power That Keeps Up With Demands
The V100 is powered by the same high-performance lithium battery as the V1 Pro, ensuring consistent and reliable performance during shoots. A USB-C charging port provides convenient recharging options for uninterrupted workflows. For demanding scenarios, the PB960 external power pack reduces recycling times to as fast as 0.8 seconds, making it ideal for high-intensity shooting sessions.
