Raising the Bar
Godox's beloved V860 flashes just keep getting better! Built around a rechargeable lithium battery, these flashes have been outperforming speedlites from the big camera brands since 2015. This third iteration brings a suite of performance and quality of life upgrades. Once you use one, you'll never look back!
The Strobepro Difference
Strobepro is the largest distributor of Godox products in Canada. Give yourself peace of mind with Strobepro's helpful staff, in-house 2-year warranty, and Calgary-based service centre.
Lithium-Powered
Compared to a conventional flash that uses four AA batteries, you'll see a huge improvement to both recycle times and shots per charge. We're talking a full power recycle of just 1.5 seconds, and 480 full power shots before you'll need to reach for your charger. Don't risk missing a shot!
X-SERIES WIRELESS
The built-in 2.4GHz radio receiver offers full power control and triggering without the need for an attached receiver. Just a single radio transmitter is all you’ll need to have full control over all your V860iiN flash units. Use your flash on-camera, off-camera, or as a radio master!
Improved Menus
The menu system has received an overhaul to be quicker and more intuitive. Particularly improved is the radio master interface, allowing you to easily control other Godox flashes and strobes from the V860iii's rear display.
Quick-Release Lock
A minor complaint with previous iterations of the V860 was its somewhat fiddly wheel-lock for its hot-shoe. The V860iii has a simplified button and lever style lock that will speed things up for you.
LED Modeling Light
A small but bright LED has been added to the front of the flash body, and can be used as a focusing aid or as a rough preview of where your bare flash will land.
TTL
TTL mode allows your Sony camera to automatically set the power and zoom of the flash.
HSS
High Speed Sync allows you to shoot shutter speeds up to 1/8000s. Perfect for freezing action and giving you full control of the ambient light, even in the bright midday sun.
200MM ZOOM
The huge 20-200mm zoom range allows the flash to push light as far or wide as you'd reasonably want to. Flip out the wide-angle diffuser, and your 20mm zoom will spread to 14mm.
Expanded Tilt Angles
The V860iii brings added flexibility to the tilt and swivel mechanisms. Swivel from 0 to 330 degrees horizontally, and tilt from -7 to 120 degrees vertically.
Dedicated TTL/Manual Switch
A small switch on the front of the flash-body can quickly switch you between TTL and Manual modes. When using the V860iii on camera, it provides a quick and tactile way to cycle between modes without entering internal menus.

Ok the menu system is enough to make you upgrade from the second version. However after buying over a dozen of these and using them through out my business, I have to say that the flash tube does not last as long as the second version did. We find that within a year of shooting heavily that the max power of the flashes does go. Thankfully they have a 2 year warranty. So I highly recommend checking the max output of your flash before the end of the warranty period.
Thanks for your review. Extensive use will degrade the flash tube over time. 99% of users will never get to the point of a flash tube replacement but it is a consumable part that we can replace if needed. Unfortunately it's not covered under warranty but is only nominal charge.

I bought two of these flashes together a few weeks ago, and have only used them a handful of times, but so far so good..they work as advertised. This is my first experience using flash in photography, so I have nothing to compare them to. Satisfied with the results they've been giving so far :)

A no brainer. I went into my local camera store in Victoria looking for the new Canon EL-1 flash, which was about $1,500. I was disappointed it was back ordered 3-6 months. The reason I want the EL-1 was it had 1 lithium battery instead of the 6-8 AA's I had to used for my Canon Speedlite 600 EX II-RT. My salesperson (who uses these for weddings) recommended me to StrobePro in Alberta. I ordered this model plus the flash trigger on a Friday afternoon and received it the following Tuesday. Wow, what great service.

I found I needed the modeling light of this flash in order to have my Nikon z63 focus in the dark like my d750. The battery life is great. Lasts me, obviously day shooting over a thousand photos.
K
Works great. Fast shipping and customer service from Strobepro was exceptional!
W
Staff very helpful. Quick to respond. Helped me make purchase decisions I was comfortable with. Delivery was dependable. Two year warranty and support, very detailed instructional videos. Wouldn’t deal with anyone else. Great Job!!
A GODOX 860iii for each of my Canon & OM Systems gear. Love the powerful rechargeable batteries. Delighted. 😀
C
I made the switch from Canon speed lights. And while there's a few differences that took some getting used to, I'm absolutely loving these lights. Fast charge lithium batteries rather messing around with AAs, the modelling light is super handy on a dark dance floor, as well as adds bit of a spotlight. The biggest difference is the faster recycle time.
C
Easy to use, good light quality
G
Great flash. The store employees were great at insuring I got the right product. If I need any godox items, this is my first place to look !
P
I ordered from Strobepro first because it is Canadian and a good experience from a previous purchase.
My flash arrived on time and in good condition. I'll continue to shop there when I need more Godox gear/.

Shipping was fast and great communication when I had a question. I have not had time to really use the flash, so I cannot comment on the item itself.
C
Staff at Strobepro provide excellent service and are generous with their knowledge. This flash is perfect for my needs and syncs easily to my transmitter
D
Appears to be well made and have many desirable features. The manual is mediocre at best and the and menus will take some getting used to.
S
This is my first strobe with an integrated & rechargeable battery, and I am not disappointed! Recycle time is super fast, and battery life is amazing. The flash is easy to use, and controls are intuitive. Works perfectly with my Canon R5ii. Highly recommend.
G
Excellent service and helpful staff 👍

Love this so much. I was always not that confident in my flash game but this is next level. The model light alone is worth it. Highly recommended.
J
Easily found what I wanted and flash was priced best-in-market as well. Good stuff!

This flash is part of a larger Godox system that relies on their seamless integration and rock solid reliability. There is nothing lacking.

Absolutely love this Speedlight. It works flawlessly with my other Godox lights and trigger. Strobepro is my one stop shop for anything lighting!

Tha flash has worked well over 2 banquet events of 250 people each. The learning process has been a bit challenging, but, in the right hands, the flash works well.
A
Amazing flash
K
I’m still getting experience with this Speedlite, but so far I’m really impressed. Its’s very powerful, and I like that it has one rechargeable battery pack. I don’t have a remote trigger yet, but that will be the next step to fully utilize the this flash.
S
I love this flash, it’s easy to understand/use and a great purchase for either a beginner or pro photographer.
C
I've ordered from Strobepro multiple times and am always happy with the products, the promptness of shipping, customer service when I've had questions, and the online videos are also so handy! No issues.
M
Very favourable flash, love the price and the assistance from Strobepro.
W
Not only does STROBEPRO have up-to-date products, but they also have competitive pricing that is sometimes the best price on the market.
I purchased this speedlite mainly for the modeling light and was pleasantly surprised at its brightness. I used my new speedlite to photograph some portraits outdoors in the late evening, and the modeling light served two purposes. It provided brightness on my subject which helped with focusing more accurately and allowing the pupil of the eyes to constrict for a normal portrait look.
Soon, I will have another one of these speedlites in my lighting kit!
D
Good product and fast delivery as well.
B
It’s an easy to use flash, I love it!
R

Works well so far!
