The Godox V1 is now available for pre-order also at BHphoto here. According to BHphoto, it will be available on June 19.
The Godox V1 is a Profoto A1 at 1/4 of the price, and as we reported here, superior to the Profoto A1 in quite some areas.
Two days ago, Godox has announced on their facebook, that the Godox V1 for Fujifilm is shipping to retailers.
Robert Hall compared the Profoto A1 with the Godox V1 (video above):
Given pricing and performance, it looks like the only real reason to buy the Profoto, is if you already bought into the Profoto system.
On the long run, though, I don’t think Profoto can compete with gear that costs 4 times the Godox pricing, since the higher price is not justified by a better performance and not even build quality.
Profoto has a terrific competitor now, and they will have to substantially lower their prices, or customers will run to Godox.
Here are Robert’s findings:
