A good speedlight is a wedding photographer's best friend, allowing them to tackle any church or event hall, no matter how dark. Godox has established themselves as one of the most respected flash brands on the market, offering capable devices that are often significantly more affordable than comparable first-party options. This excellent video review takes a look at the V860 III TTL Li-Ion flash and the sort of performance you can expect from it under the heavy demands of a wedding. 

Coming to you from Katelyn James, this great video review takes a look at the Godox V860 III TTL Li-Ion flash. Despite being cheaper than many other options, the V860 III comes with a nice range of features, including:
