Godox V100 Flash for Canon

The modeling lamp is bright enough to preview light falloff in a dim studio, and the round head gives catchlights a much more natural shape than a rectangular flash. Charge time between full-power pops is surprisingly quick, which kept my portrait session flowing without waiting.

The round head with the integrated sub-flash really does make a difference for even coverage—I’ve noticed way less harsh shadows in my portraits. The 100W power is plenty for location work, and it recycles fast enough to keep up with my shooting.

The modeling lamp is actually bright enough to see the shadows in a dim room, and the 100Ws of power have been plenty for my outdoor portraits. It recycles quickly too, so I’m not waiting around between shots.
