Well before going too far with my review I should mention a BAD THING that I discovered whilst photographing the new Godox Lights.

Taking the battery pack off the generator I noticed that things were not quite right and there was a slight rattling inside.

Quickly found two screws were falling out of their holes and the other two were very loose:So how does that come about ?
I can’t believe that the journey from Hong Kong to UK was so bumpy that it shook the screws loose.
My feelings lead me to think that this is a quality control issue – yes, that is worrying but everything else looks just fine … so far.
Let’s put this down to one tired workers oversight.

There are so many signs of considerable thought going into the design that I refuse to be dismayed by this lack of attention.

But while I’m having a moan here is something else that caught my eye.
The kit is supplied with a handy and robust black, nylon shoulder bag which will be very useful when the unit is being used on location.
But lets have a look at this in operation …

Shoulder Bag Open

Shoulder Bag Closed – sorta.

The covering flap will not close properly when the flash head is connected to the power pack.
That can’t be right ! :  given the sort of weather we have in the UK , this is a potential problem.
I must state though, at no time does Godox say the unit is waterproof and in fact they explicitly warn against getting things wet. However this is not a good bit of design.

Unless I can find a good reason to the contrary I shall cut an opening in the flap to accommodate the power lead.
