Godox Ving V480N TTL On-Camera Flash for Nikon

Godox Ving V480 Overview

Delivering plenty of light in a portable flash body, the Ving V480N TTL On-Camera Flash from Godox combines their 2.4 GHz X system for wireless flash control and TTL auto flash capability. The V480N is compatible with Nikon i-TTL and also offers manual, multi, HSS, and second curtain sync characteristics. The V480N is similar to the Godox V860III and V350 flash units— smaller than the V860III and bigger and more powerful than the V350—designed as a medium-size, compact, yet powerful lighting solution with advanced features. A convenient LED modeling light is located right in the center of the flash body. Experience fast recharge and long-lasting shoots with a versatile flash head that tilts from -7 to 120° and rotates 330°. The flash runs on an included rechargeable battery to allow recycling times of 1.7 sec, providing enough energy for up to 650 full-power flashes. The V480N comes with a detachable battery, a USB-C cable, a power adapter, as well as a mini stand and a pouch.

Greater Lighting Control

Nikon i-TTL-compatible, the Ving V480N flash offers support for high-speed sync, 2nd curtain sync, and much more. The flash can be used in manual mode or programmed to fire multiple stroboscopic flashes, and it can also function with high-speed sync for quicker shutter speeds. On top of this, the flash features a guide number of 164′ at ISO 100 along with flash durations from 1/600 to 1/20,000 sec, and adjustable output from 1/256 to full power.

Flexible Design

The V480C is useful for both on-camera and off-camera operation. The flash will provide ample illumination for most subjects. It features a convenient auto/manual zoom head with a range of 24-105mm, a white catchlight panel, and a built-in wide-angle diffuser. The head can be tilted from -7 to 120° and rotated 330° to control bounce and where the light falls on the scene.
