How the setup works

Godox V1Mid Compact Round Head TTL Speedlite

The V1Mid is the light source at the centre of the kit. Its compact round-head design makes it a portable option for photographers who want to work with a speedlite rather than a larger studio flash. Mounted away from the camera, the V1Mid gives you greater freedom over the direction of the light compared with keeping the flash attached to the camera.

Godox S3 S-Type SMART Speedlite Adapter Bracket

The S3 bracket provides the connection between the speedlite, support and modifier setup. It holds the flash for off-camera use and can be mounted to the light stand. Its umbrella mounting provision allows the included umbrella to be positioned with the flash, while the Bowens S-Type fitting also gives you the option of using compatible Bowens S-Type modifiers.

PIXAPRO 40-inch Translucent White Umbrella with Removable Backing

The 40-inch umbrella turns the compact flash into a larger light source, helping create softer and broader illumination than direct bare flash. Its translucent white material can be used to diffuse the flash, while the removable backing adds flexibility to how the umbrella is configured.

PIXAPRO 190cm Standard Light Stand

The 190cm light stand supports the flash, bracket and umbrella, allowing the complete light source to be positioned away from the camera. Being able to adjust the height and position of the light is an important part of off-camera flash photography.

Why choose this kit

This setup gives you the core components needed for a practical single-flash lighting arrangement in one kit. The V1Mid provides the portable flash, the S3 bracket brings the components together, the 190cm stand provides support and positioning, and the 40-inch umbrella spreads and softens the light. The S3 bracket also provides room to expand. Its Bowens S-Type fitting means compatible modifiers can be introduced as your lighting requirements develop.
