Godox V1Pro: B&H Photo / Amazon / Adorama
Godox is going to release a new flash called the Godox V1Mid that is a little less powerful than the Godox V1 Pro. Above is the only information about this upcoming flash, so I had AI translate all the text and create a press release out of it, and I included a translated spec sheet below.
AI PRESS RELEASE
Godox Introduces V1mid: A Compact TTL Round-Head Speedlight with New Optical System, Touchscreen Control, and USB-C Charging
Godox today announced the V1mid, a new TTL lithium-powered round-head on-camera flash designed to deliver soft, even light output in a more compact form factor—paired with a touch color display, Chinese-language menu, and an expanded accessory ecosystem.
Built around a newly described precision optical lens group, V1mid is engineered to transform the flash’s linear light source into a natural, uniform, softer light spot without a dark center, with smoother transitions and improved highlight control—aimed at more flattering skin texture and increased image depth.
Key Highlights
New Round-Head Optical System
V1mid uses a multi-element optical design (including a composite lens array) to improve light quality, deliver smoother gradients, and provide a more controllable highlight area—especially useful for portraits and on-location work.
Compact Power for Fast-Paced Shooting
- 55Ws flash output
- Up to ~650 full-power flashes (1/1)
- Recycling time: up to 1.7s
Touchscreen + Simplified Operation
A touch color screen with an intuitive Chinese UI is designed for quick parameter changes and efficient operation during fast workflows.
USB-C Charging Convenience
The battery features a USB-C port, allowing flexible power top-ups via charger or power bank to help maintain stable performance during shoots.
Broad System Support + 2.4GHz Wireless X System
V1mid includes Godox’s 2.4GHz X wireless system supporting master/slave operation with multi-group control.
Accessories & Light Shaping Ecosystem
V1mid’s round head supports magnetic modifier attachment and compatibility with:
- AK-R1 magnetic round-head accessory kit (for fast light control)
- S3 adapter to convert to a Bowens mount (for expanded modifier options), enabling use of accessories such as snoots, standard reflectors, and softboxes.
