Godox have officially released the V860 Ving, a TTL version of the highly regarded V850 Lithium-Ion powered flash, which has recently taken the manual speedlite market by storm.

The V860C ETTL version for Canon will be available in March, and a Nikon V860N scheduled for April. And they are both likely to be very competitively priced.

The new V860 use basically the same hardware as the V850, now with full TTL function shoehorned inside as well. A USB port is also now added for firmware updates.

The V860 feature the same Lithium-Ion battery, with huge 650 full power pop capacity and 1.5 second recyclable time, all conveniently built-in!

Radio Receiver – No Radio Transmitter

Although the V860 have an optic wireless master and slave function, they do not have any radio transmitter built in.

The V860 will use the same FT-16s clip on radio receiver as the V850 for remote manual power control, and HSS off camera (no TTL though). This requires an FT-16 transmitter unit for remote power control, and appropriate transmitter like the Godox Cells II for HSS use
