Godox TT350S vs. Godox V860IIS - Size Compare Pics

I pre-ordered the Godox TT350S on Jan 5th from Amazon.com and just received it on Jan 17th. To give others a better idea on the size of this thing, here are a few pics mounted on bodies against the Godox V860IIs.

Very nice. Planning to get TT350s. Did that flash come with a diffuser?

i saw an unboxing in YouTube and it came with a diffuser.

Thank you very much for posting this. I pre-ordered one from Adorama, and it had been in the pre-order state forever, but I've just checked the order state and it's finally moved to the "packed" state!! Can't wait to receive mine.

I also have Godox 685, and although I love how capable it is (it can bounce from a two story ceiliing in a pitch darkness!!), it makes a6000 top heavy and it's not something I want to keep in my camera bag. 350 solves all the problems (though not as powerful), and what's more, I can use both of them as off camera flashes with the trasmitter!

Yep, the flash came with a flash stand, case, and a diffuser cap.

Any initial firsthand comments about its performance? Any annoying feature? I'm between the Nissin i40 and the Godox TT350S...

Too bad it still has quite a tall profile. If there was a way to design a flatter flash with this GN, I'd probably buy it if I could get a really high compactness to GN ratio. Looking at these photos, the 350 still looks pretty tall to me, only less powerful. I guess in bounce mode the 350 does look a lot smaller though. Hmm, and so affordable for a TTL flash too.

Re: Godox TT350S vs. Godox V860IIS - Size Compare Pics

So far so good! The flash paired easily with the x1t-s transmitter and appears to have all of the functions of the V860IIS. Not having performed heavy duty testing yet, the reason I bought it was that it was small, convenient, and cheap. It will basically be used as my on-camera flash. Although I have used the V860IIS on the body, it spends most of the time on a lightstand.

I was also looking into the Nissin flashes but the cost of the Godox system won me over.

Thanks for the side by side size comparison. I've been searching everywhere for that. I was between the TT350s, the 685 or the Nissin i40 or i60.

Finally bit the bullet last night and ordered the TT350s - mainly because of size, updating firmware by usb, price and the fact i believe you can easily change the shoe if it breaks. Also ordered the X1-T.

This is my first flash, so can't wait to try and get to grips with it.

Re: Godox TT350S vs. Godox V860IIS - Size Compare Pics

Thank you posting the pics for size comparison!

I am leaning towards the Flashpoint equivalent of the TT350S, along with a transmitter. Does this flash have a built-in bounce card? I can't tell from any of the pics I have seen.

The Godox seems to come with a diffuser. Does the Flashpoint come with a diffuser? If not, is there a specific size to get that would fit correctly?

Also, does a using the X1T-S give more capability than using a second TT350S to control the first TT350S?

I haven't received my TT350S yet (arriving on Monday!), but I can show you what my TT685 (under Flashpoint brand) has. Judging from the picture on the Godox site, it seems TT350S will have the same:

http://www.godox.com/EN/Products_Mini_Camera_Flash_TT350S.html

The white part is very flimsy, but can be used for a catchlight. I have a small Flashbender that's portable and works pretty well:

https://www.amazon.com/Rogue-FlashBenders-ROGUERESM-Positionable-Reflector/dp/B003UOIMBW

Lastly, I would not get two TT350S. It's not very strong, and you are probably better off getting a TT685 for an off-camera use controlled by TT350S, or a X1T-S to control a TT350S. Or get both, then you'll have two off-camera flashes!!

Thanks for your response. The bounce card looks like it should work fine.
I think you're right about getting a more powerful flash as a second unit. I'm still not clear about whether using the TT350S would work as well as using the X1T-S transmitter. I am leaning toward just getting the X1T-S and the TT350S to start with, although, I will likely get the Flashpoint versions due to the 1 year warranty.

Hey rdi-

yep the flash has a built in wide panel and bounce card. It also comes with a diffuser cap. You can see the the diffuser cap and bounce card at the tail-end of this video https://youtu.be/5GSZOmvtD_0

I am not certain if using the TT350S as a master has 100% identical control capability as the X1T-S but I did perform a quick test of the TT350S as a master and I was able to control the V860IIS and change its power and modes.

Hope this helps!

I suspect you will be happy you have both the 350 and x1t because you will eventually get a more powerful flash for off camera use.  While not really small, the X1 is smaller than a second 350 for use on camera.

I got my TT350s yesterday. Catchlight card worked great! It evenly laminated a subject/room with the flash head tilted between 60-75 degree on a TTL mode with Sigma 30mm lens. TIP: Since the card is thin and flexible it is easier to push it in together with the solid wide panel. TT350s is a nice compact travel flash for my A6000.

If you go for the nissin, then both our camera, lenses and even flashes are the same, ha ha. While I am owning the nissin i40 and never used the tt350s, I'd suggest you go for the tt350s for two reasons. First, tt350s is much cheaper, the nissin i40 build quality is not worth the price it is selling for,IMO. Second, it has built in wireless receiver for you to do off camera flash photography. For nissin i40, you need to buy the nissin air r (receiver).

The nissin i40 has served me well since I got it....but just worrying about the longevity of it....if the godox tt350s was released the same time as the nissin, I would had gone for it instead....

Samples?

how tall is it from the top of the a6xxx to the top of the 350s? Looks a bit taller. On that note the nissin I just bought is going back. It's good but 240.00 is allot compared to this sucker YO!

The TT350S + X1T-S transmitter pack is cheaper than the i40 itself. Built in wireless receiver sounds nice. However, the TT350S is GN36 while the i40 is GN40 (at 105mm). It addition,l it can bounce but it can't turn. I know it depends on the use, but does these differences matters for a compact flash? I'm never used dedicated flash, as you can see...

PS: Firmware update for the Nissin is crazy. What's this? The 80s??
