I primarily shoot events and portraits, so I need a flash that can keep up with the demands of these types of photography. Ideally, I'm looking for a flash with fast recycling times, reliable performance, and the ability to work well with the a7R IV's autofocus system.
If you have any recommendations or personal experiences with flashes that work well with the Sony a7R IV, I would greatly appreciate your insights!
Consider the Godox V1 for on-camera flash, but strongly recommend a trigger with an external flash like the Godox AD200 for better options and results. On-camera flash suits quick event photography, while the AD200 with a modifier excels in other scenarios, offering superior performance.
Jumping in here because while Godox is popular, you might want to consider the high-end stuff if you are doing professional events with an a7R IV. I have seen some weird connection issues with cheaper feet on that specific multi-interface shoe, so be careful there.
If you are looking for off camera flash, you can get the new released Godox AD200Pro II now.
