First Look at the Godox V1
The Godox V1 will be available in the U.S. from Adorama as the Flashpoint Zoom Li-on X R2 and is currently available for pre-order at a price of $259.00. The magnetic modifiers can be purchased separately for $59.00. For an overview of the Godox V1 check out my recent article here. Here is a closer look at the fired flashes on their own:
Ok, so which is which?
How far away are the lights from the wall? I think that matters in a “scientific” test. For example, a working distance would be around 6’-+ not 3’-4’ which this looks like. I want to see a better example. Often “tests” by amateurs are not very well thought out or executed. Also a “test” should be done by someone with no vested interest in either product not a fanboy.
Rob is far from being an amateur and while he does use Godox products this test is fair. If you watch his videos comparing Profoto and Godox you’d see that.
Scientific comparison means they are compared on an equal standard, which they are.
Your definition of working distance being 6′-+ is called “subjective”.
