Godox V1 mid: New Compact TTL Flash with Round Head
Godox V1 mid is a compact TTL speedlight with a round head, created for photographers who need a mobile, fast and convenient light source. It offers 50 Ws output, TTL support, manual mode, Multi mode, HSS and wireless operation in the Godox X 2.4 GHz system. Thanks to the lithium-ion battery, the option to charge the battery via USB Type-C and the touchscreen, the V1 mid performs well during reportage, wedding, event, portrait and outdoor photography.
Compact design and round flash head
Godox V1 mid combines mobility with features known from advanced speedlights. The round head provides natural and even light, making it easier to work both when shooting directly from the camera and when bouncing flash off ceilings or walls. It is a practical solution for reportage, wedding, event and portrait photography, where speed of operation and predictable results matter.
The flash head can rotate horizontally from 0 to 330° and tilt vertically from -7° to 120°. This adjustment range gives great freedom in directing light, especially when working indoors. The V1 mid also offers automatic and manual flash zoom, allowing the flash coverage to be matched to the lens focal length and shooting style.
The flash is available in versions compatible with the most popular camera systems: Canon, Fujifilm, Nikon, Olympus MFT and Sony MIS. This makes it possible to choose the model that matches your camera and use the functions designed for a given system.

Fast operation thanks to the Li-ion battery
Speed matters in a photographer’s work, which is why Godox V1 mid has been equipped with a 7.2 V / 2200 mAh lithium-ion battery. The flash offers a recycling time of up to 1.7 seconds and approximately 650 full-power flashes on a single charge. This is important during intensive sessions, reportage work and events, where the equipment must be ready for the next shot without long breaks.
Charging the battery via USB Type-C increases convenience when working on location. The battery can be charged, for example, with a standard phone charger or a power bank, which makes it easier to prepare the equipment for shooting outside the studio, during trips, all-day assignments and work in several locations in one day. While the battery is charging, the flash is not used for shooting, so it is worth having a spare battery for longer assignments.
TTL, manual, Multi and HSS synchronization
Godox V1 mid supports TTL, manual and Multi modes. TTL mode helps quickly adjust flash exposure in changing conditions, for example during wedding reportage, events or work with moving subjects. Manual mode gives full control over flash output, which works well for portraits, product sessions and setups with multiple light sources.
Multi mode enables stroboscopic flashes, while HSS synchronization allows working with fast shutter speeds up to 1/8000 s. In the case of Sony cameras with a global shutter, the V1 mid S supports synchronization up to 1/80000 s. The flash also supports first and second curtain synchronization, giving greater freedom when working creatively with motion and ambient light.
Convenient operation and touchscreen
Godox V1 mid has a clear touchscreen with a simple interface that makes it easier to change settings while shooting. Power adjustment, operating mode selection, wireless transmission configuration and flash parameter adjustment are quick and convenient, which is very important when working in dynamic situations.
The flash is also equipped with a 2 W LED modelling light with a colour temperature of 5300 K ±200 K. The modelling light helps assess shadow distribution before taking a photo and also enables the use of AF systems even in a dark studio.
Godox X 2.4 GHz system and wireless operation
Godox V1 mid works in the Godox X 2.4 GHz radio system and can operate as a transmitter or receiver. The transmission range is up to 70 metres, with 32 channels, 4 or 5 groups depending on the camera system and ID in the OFF / 01–99 range. This solution allows comfortable work with the flash on camera, but also makes it possible to use it as part of a larger lighting setup.
V1 mid supports transmitter and receiver modes, allowing setups with multiple flashes to be built. It can be used as a key light, fill light, rim light or background light. This is particularly useful in portrait, wedding and event photography, as well as during sessions carried out in a small studio or outdoors.

Accessories and light modifiers
Godox V1 mid is compatible with the magnetic AK-R1 Round Head Accessory Kit. The kit allows quick use of modifiers designed for the round head of Godox speedlights, making it easier to adapt the character of the light to portraits, reportage, event photos and creative sessions.
The flash can also work with the S3 Speedlite Bracket, which enables the use of modifiers with Bowens mount. This allows the V1 mid to be combined with softboxes and other light-shaping tools while maintaining the compact, mobile nature of the entire setup.
Examples of using Godox V1 mid
Godox V1 mid is a great fit for wedding photography, where it can work on camera during preparations, the ceremony and the reception, as well as off camera as an additional light source. In event photography, it will perform well during conferences, banquets, concerts, corporate meetings and promotional events, where fast reaction and convenient operation are important.
In portrait photography, the V1 mid can be used to bounce light off a ceiling or wall, work with AK-R1 accessories or with larger modifiers on the S3 bracket. Outdoors, the Li-ion battery, fast flash recycling time, USB Type-C battery charging and wireless operation will be advantages. It is also a good choice for family, lifestyle, backstage photography and creating content for social media.
Who is the Godox V1 mid for?

The flash weighs approximately 329 g without the battery and approximately 413 g with the battery. Its compact dimensions and battery power make the V1 mid fit well into a mobile photography kit without excessively weighing down the gear bag.
