As smartphone cameras continue to improve, low-light scenes, backlit portraits and challenging lighting conditions can still limit your results. The Godox A2 smartphone xenon flash brings the power and creative control of dedicated flash photography to your phone, helping you capture sharper, more expressive images with professional-style lighting. Whether you're shooting portraits, freezing movement or experimenting with creative flash effects, the A2 opens up new possibilities for smartphone photography.
Photography in a New Light
Take your smartphone photography further with the Godox A2's short, powerful xenon flash burst, designed to help freeze motion and bring greater impact to your images. From action shots and spontaneous portraits to bold, stylised photography, this compact smartphone flash gives you more freedom to experiment with light and create distinctive results.
Xenon Flash: Bring Your Subject to Life
Give your smartphone photos more impact with the Godox A2 xenon flash. Use direct flash for a bold, high-contrast look or add a subtle lift to backlit portraits to bring out facial details. With a guide number of approximately 15 (ISO 100, metres), the A2 delivers useful illumination for close-range photography, while its short flash duration helps freeze movement when the flash is the main light on your subject.
*For best results, keep the A2 within 2 m of your subject. For greater power or wider lighting coverage, pair Godox's upcoming smartphone wireless flash trigger (sold separately) with compatible Godox speedlights or outdoor flashes.
TTL and Manual Modes: Stay Spontaneous, Get Precise
Choose TTL or Manual Mode to suit your shooting style with the Godox A2 smartphone flash. TTL helps you capture spontaneous moments with automatic flash exposure, while Manual Mode lets you adjust flash output for greater creative control. Whether you're photographing people on the move or carefully shaping the light for a planned shot, the A2 makes it easier to achieve your preferred look.
High-Speed Sync: Find Your Balance
Balance flash with ambient light using the Godox A2's high-speed sync (HSS) of up to 1/8000s. This feature helps you retain detail in bright backgrounds while illuminating your subject, making it useful for outdoor portraits, sunlit scenes and creative smartphone photography. By allowing faster shutter speeds in compatible setups, HSS also gives you greater flexibility when working with bright conditions or trying to keep moving subjects sharp.
Bi-Color LED: True Colour for Everyday Stories
Beyond xenon flash photography, the Godox A2 features a bi-colour LED light for everyday content creation. Adjust the light to suit different environments and create more natural-looking colours and skin tones when shooting portraits or recording video. Whether you're filming indoors, creating social media content or working in low-light conditions, the adjustable LED provides a versatile lighting option for a consistent, polished look.
Godox Camera App: Your Look, at Your Fingertips
Get more control over your smartphone flash photography with the Godox Camera app. Built on Godox's TTL expertise, the app offers Auto (A) mode with Natural, Even and Contrast flash effects to help you achieve different looks with ease. Switch to Manual (M) mode to fine-tune shutter speed and flash output, while Bluetooth connectivity and NFC-assisted setup let you adjust flash and LED settings wirelessly, whether the A2 is mounted on your phone or positioned off-camera.
Dual-Side Magnetic Mounting: Snap On and Explore a New Angle
The Godox A2's dual-side magnetic mounting system offers flexible positioning beyond the back of your smartphone. Attach it to a suitable metal surface or combine it with a stand for alternative lighting angles, while the front magnetic ring supports compatible accessories for shaping and controlling the light. This versatile mounting design makes it easier to experiment with different lighting positions for portraits, product photography and creative smartphone shots.
Magnetic Accessories: Change the Light, Set the Mood
Shape your lighting with optional magnetic accessories for the Godox A2 (Available Separately), including a honeycomb grid, barndoors and a snoot to help direct the beam and control light spill. A full CTO magnetic filter adds warmth for a different colour effect, giving smartphone photographers more options for creative portraits, close-up images and stylised lighting setups.
*For best results, use the A2 off-camera when working with light-shaping accessories.
Compact, Magnetic and Ready to Create
The Godox A2 packs dedicated xenon flash capability into a palm-sized, portable design that is easy to carry for everyday photography, travel and content creation. With magnetic mounting, adjustable LED lighting and flexible flash controls, it offers smartphone photographers a compact alternative to relying solely on their phone's built-in flash or continuous lighting.
