Ring Light Flash

[41mm] I use this on all my Ring flash portraits for evenly distributed light and a nice catch light for yes. This is a great modifier for the Profoto Ring flash as it adds a nice broad balance to the light source. My only negative comment regarding this product is that it is hard to hand hold at times

[PC] The ring flash works nicely.though I would prefer someone made a dedicated unit for Pentax. Shutter speed slows as you stop down on the aperature 40 and less on shutter speed on manual. I do like the continuous light for shooting and setting up in less than favorable light. If you have a 49mm lens go ahead and order a step up adapter for from 49 to 52 so you can use the unit.

[Nikon i-TTL] I really like this ring flash. It's better built and more powerful than a much less expensive version I purchased a couple of years back from another manufacturer. In fact, at time a bit too powerful in that even at 1/128th power I have more light than I need when I try to balance fill flash with ambient light. It appears to sync at 1/160th and below on my Canon. I believe I begin getting horizontal lines at 1/200th and above (and there's no high speed sync function). I like the ability to control the focus assist light in 10 steps. When the flash is too powerful for my ambient light effort, I dial up the focus-assist lamp and often have all the power I need. Like all Godox equipment, it's well built and well priced. Happy.

[Shoe] second pair ! great in every way complete flash totally wireless on camera and out light ring glow is great no shifts of power works well with iPhone price is high but for quality you pay

[58mm] I have only had this ring flash for three weeks and I have fallen in love with it. I purchased it specifically to illuminate my water drop/splash photography. Contrary to many reviews indicating the lack of power, this flash has plenty of punch to light up my work at f/11, giving me ample depth of field. I am using the ring flash as a single light using the left and right tubes set a 1/1024 power resulting in a 1/30,000sec flash duration, plenty to freeze the splash action. Se attached image. I recommend this unit for serious professional Macro work.

[Shoe Mount] First, I want to say that I have had no issues like a couple of the reviews have stated with regards to the mounting ring. It mounts securely to the filter adapter ring (which is a slip on fit, not threaded like one review mentions), and the flashes themselves can be positioned in any of the 24 locking detents by releasing with the push buttons, moving to the new location and letting it snap into place. I have attached a photo of them in a non-balanced position to show them locked in place. I have to think the two reviews that mention this have installed their mounting ring incorrectly. The flashes are responsive and work great with any Godox wireless trigger, and can be set to manual or TTL, and biased with flash exposure compensation for each flash. In my limited testing with them so far, the flashes have fired every time, with good power and repeatable exposure. The built-in diffusers help a bit, but they are still fairly small light sources. As such, you will probably want to rig up some extra diffusion for the best lighting. Overall, given the price of the kit, the ease of repositioning flashes and the quality of light, it's really hard to beat. Most macro flashes of this type are significantly more expensive and also more cumbersome due to the wired nature. This can also integrate seamlessly into your other Godox lights, which can be great if using another flash for a background light or rim light. I wish the native diffusers were a little larger, and perhaps that the batteries were replaceable, as you may be stuck in the field if you run out of battery, though the battery life is quoted to be pretty good. However, for the price it's hard to nitpick.

[Battery] Never had one, never thought of getting one but the more I read the more intrigued i got. Reminded me or a ring light for a macro lens that do wonders for your shots. I really havent put it to use yet thats coming in a week but have been playing around with it and doing some shooting on still objects and it is a world of difference from using a flash and my dog doesnt even run when I get it out like he does when he sees a flash. I intend on using it quite a bit so i will update later. Construction and materials are pretty good for the money and the packing was superb no damage, B&H does it again. I may look into an led version for outdoor use with my flowers this summer.

[5900K] Was looking for a replacement for the Metz Mecablitz ring light that was discontinued. This macro ring flash from Godox actually far exceeds the Mecablitz. It's the perfect ring flash if you are looking for a new, inexpensive unit. Can't recommend enough!

[3] I am a life long hobby photographer and have always enjoyed macro work. I debated on getting this kit as its not inexpensive. I finally gave in and added one to my gear. I have zero regrets. For the work I do this thing is the best. I previously was using a good quality ring light flash and was mostly happy with how it worked compared to using normal flashes which are often just too powerful up close. This flash has solved all my problems and produces outstanding results, much better than the ring light. As others have mentioned you can control it with the built in flash on some Nikon models. That said I still like using the dedicated controller as it has more options and works with my D500 and Z body cameras that lack a hot shoe. This kit has a lot of bits and pieces which gives you great flexibility and control. Of course you can add even more speed lights using the controller giving you endless combinations of lighting. As a serious hobbyist I greatly enjoy this system. If you enjoy or use macro shooting I would recommend you learn more about this system and what you can do with it. As they say, You get what you pay for and I would not hesitate to buy this system again.

[Shoe Mount] I did a lot of research into lighting equipment as someone who is starting out in macro, and I think this is one of the best value products for beginners. It produces plenty of light for macro since you're close to the subject anyway, and if I'm in a dark setting I typically only need the lowest power settings, 1 or 2. With some good batteries I imagine the light could be used for at least several hours on a low power setting (assuming you don't have it constantly on the entire time), which is great. Another great feature to help our beginners is the fact that this is a light, not a flash. You have a constant light source which helps me spot subjects in the dark (usually bugs), and no need to worry about a delay time that a true flash would need to recycle - this is important when learning how to focus with a tiny depth of field, since you can fire of bursts of shots with the light staying on. I admit that a properly diffused flash is probably more attractive than ring light, but I still think this is a good stepping stone. Another reason I think this ring light has an edge against others in its category is the fact that it has metal adapter rings, something that others don't seem to have (other brands seem to have cheap plastic rings). This was one of the main reasons I chose this ring light over others. The light itself and control unit seem to be well built, the only issue I ran into is that the battery compartment had one terminal which was slightly too large, so the battery was always loose and could fall out easily. This was causing some issues with the unit not turning on consistently, or the battery seeming to run out unusually quickly. If anyone else runs into this issue, you can resolve it with a quick fix: Just fold up a bit of aluminum foil into a small square, and place it in between the battery and the metal terminal of the battery compartment. It will hold the battery more securely in place and provide a working connection.
