Godox TTL V480S External Flash
The Godox V480S is a powerful TTL external flash designed for Sony cameras. It combines a light output of GN 50, automatic TTL exposure control, manual mode, Multi mode, and a built-in Godox X 2.4GHz wireless system, allowing it to be used both on-camera and in wireless multi-light setups. The tilting and swivelling head allows you to work with both direct and bounced light, while HSS up to 1/8000s, sync up to 1/80000s on compatible Sony cameras with a global shutter, first and second curtain sync, and flash exposure compensation expand the possibilities for creative photography. The replaceable Li-ion battery provides approximately 650 full-power flashes, and the recycle time is approximately 1.7 seconds.

Wireless Control and Multi-Light Operation
The built-in 2.4GHz Godox X system allows for full wireless control and connection with other flashes in the system. This makes it easy to create multi-source light setups and control individual light groups remotely without the need for cables or external triggers. This system significantly speeds up your workflow and expands the possibilities for creative lighting in various photographic situations.
Professional Modes and Creative Syncing
The flash supports TTL automatic mode for Sony cameras, manual settings, and Multi mode, allowing you to precisely adapt the light to a specific scene. It also features High-Speed Sync (HSS) up to 1/8000s and sync up to 1/80000s on compatible Sony cameras with a global shutter. Support for first and second curtain sync and flash exposure compensation expands your options when working with motion, natural light, and creative lighting effects.
Fast and Precise Control
The flash allows for intuitive adjustment of all functions thanks to a combination of a clear display and physical controls. The user interface is designed to allow you to quickly change power and modes without unnecessary delays during shooting. This solution facilitates work in the field and in the studio, where speed and smooth control are key.
Variable Light Direction
The flash head can be tilted approximately –7° to 120° and rotated 330°, which allows for precise directing of the light according to the needs of the scene. This versatility makes it easier to work with bounced light from the ceiling or walls and helps create softer, more natural lighting. Thanks to the quick adjustment of the head's position, you can easily react to different photographic situations both indoors and outdoors.
Precise Flash Range Control
The flash provides an overview of the effective flash range directly on the display, which makes it easier to estimate the correct exposure in real time. This gives the photographer immediate information about whether the subject is within the optimal light range, which is particularly advantageous in small spaces, with bounced light, or in dynamic situations. This solution helps to eliminate guesswork and speeds up the process of setting lighting conditions.
Lightweight and Easily Portable Design
The flash is designed with an emphasis on low weight and compact dimensions, so it is comfortable to use when working in the field and in the studio. Thanks to its balanced design, it is easy to hold in the hand and fits without problems into a standard camera bag. It allows for mobile work without unnecessary burden, while maintaining full power for demanding photographic situations.
Advanced Flash Modes
The flash offers multiple exposure control modes including TTL, manual, and Multi mode, which allows you to adapt the light to different photographic situations. It supports High-Speed Sync up to 1/8000s and, on compatible Sony cameras with a global shutter, also syncs up to 1/80000s. There is also the option of flash exposure compensation and first and second curtain sync, which expands the creative possibilities when working with motion and lighting effects.
Light Shaping Options
The flash allows you to adjust the character of the light using integrated elements, which help to change its final appearance directly during shooting. Thanks to them, it is possible to achieve more pronounced catchlights in the eyes or, conversely, a softer and more evenly diffused light for group shots or wider scenes. These options facilitate the quick adaptation of the light output without the need for additional external accessories.
LED Modelling Light for a Lighting Preview
The flash is equipped with a built-in LED modelling light that allows you to preview the direction and character of the light even before the flash itself. Thanks to multiple brightness levels, you can easily fine-tune the scene's lighting and better imagine the resulting shadows and light transitions. This solution makes it easier to set the light precisely, especially for portrait and product photography.
Wireless Control and Light Linking
The built-in 2.4GHz Godox X system allows the flash to work as both a transmitter and a receiver, which makes it easy to connect with other lights within the same system. Thanks to the support for multiple channels, it is easy to separate individual groups of lights and control them independently as needed. This solution enables convenient wireless control of multiple flashes without the need for external triggers.
Long Battery Life and Fast Charging
The flash is equipped with a replaceable 7.2V/2,200mAh Li-ion battery, which allows for approximately 650 full-power flashes on a single charge. Thanks to a recycle time of approximately 1.7 seconds, the device is ready for the next flash without significant delays. USB-C charging also makes it easy to top up the power between photo shoots.
