1. Godox V1
The Godox V1-S is the first TTL flash from Godox featuring a round flash head and HSS support for Canon. It can achieve sync speeds of up to 1/8000 s, allowing Godox to confidently compete with the Profoto A1. The flash can be used in all common modes such as TTL, manual, and strobe or multi. Additionally, the V1C can be triggered via the Godox X1T-C or Godox X-pro transmitters, as a corresponding receiver is already built into the flash. Light modifiers from the Godox AK-R1 set can be magnetically attached to the flash head. Besides the HSS function, the V1-S also offers flash exposure compensation, allowing the flash output to be adjusted independently of the camera's actual exposure. The FEB function (Flash Exposure Bracketing) is used to create a flash exposure series, making it easy to find the optimal flash exposure for a subject without needing to make many adjustments. The V1C features an automatic zoom range of 28-105 mm. With a power output of 76 Ws, the flash is capable of overpowering sunlight. The same transmitter can also control the AD600B, facilitating easy expansion of the Godox system without the need to constantly purchase new transmitters and receivers. A notable feature of this flash unit is that it operates on a Li-ion battery instead of AAA batteries, allowing for up to 480 flashes per charge.

6. Nikon SB-5000
In the right light with the SB-5000 - the first radio-controlled flash unit. The SB-5000 is fast, reliable and versatile and provides outstanding illumination for both outdoor and studio photography. Radio signals enable use within a radius of 30 metres and support complex setups, both with the flash unit attached to the camera and unattached.

Depending on the number of flashes and their positioning, the kit can effortlessly cover a wide range of scenarios.
