Product Information

Full details

The Godox V480N TTL On-Camera Flash is designed for Nikon photographers seeking a powerful, portable, and versatile lighting solution. Its key benefit lies in its seamless integration with Nikon's i-TTL system, offering precise automatic flash control and advanced features like High-Speed Sync. A potential caveat for some users might be its position between larger and smaller Godox models, which could lead to over or under-specification depending on precise needs, though it strikes a solid balance for many.

FAQs

Is the Godox V480N compatible with all Nikon cameras?

The V480N is designed for Nikon i-TTL compatible cameras. While it works with most modern Nikon DSLRs and mirrorless cameras that support i-TTL, it's always recommended to check the official Godox compatibility list for your specific camera model.

What is the range of the 2.4 GHz wireless system?

The 2.4 GHz X wireless radio system offers a range of up to 328 feet (100 meters), allowing for flexible off-camera flash placement.

How many flashes can I get from a single battery charge?

A fully charged 7.2V, 2200mAh lithium battery can provide approximately 650 full-power flashes.

Can I use this flash off-camera without a trigger?

While the flash has basic optical slave capabilities, for reliable and advanced off-camera control, it is designed to be used with Godox 2.4 GHz X-series radio transmitters.

What is the color temperature of the LED modeling light?

The LED modeling light has a color temperature of approximately 5300K (+/- 300K).

How do I update the firmware on the V480N?

Firmware updates can be performed via the USB-C port on the flash using a computer and the appropriate firmware update tool from Godox.

What is the maximum guide number?

The flash has a guide number of 164 feet (50 meters) at ISO 100 with the zoom head set to 105mm.

Troubleshooting

Flash does not fire

Ensure the flash is powered on, the battery is charged, and it is properly mounted on the camera's hot shoe or paired wirelessly. Check that the camera is set to a compatible flash mode.

Inconsistent TTL exposure

Verify that the flash and camera are communicating correctly. Reset flash settings and ensure the correct i-TTL mode is selected on both devices. Check for lens and subject distance consistency.

Wireless connection unstable

Ensure the flash and transmitter are on the same channel and group. Check the wireless range and minimize obstructions. Replace batteries in the transmitter if needed.

Flash recycle time is slow

Ensure the battery is fully charged. High-speed continuous shooting or very high power outputs will increase recycle time.

LED modeling light not working

Check if the modeling light is enabled in the flash settings and that its brightness is set appropriately. Ensure the battery has sufficient charge.
