You can increasingly take beautiful photos with your smartphone. One important limitation remained: there was no way to use off-camera flash. The Godox A1 looks set to solve this problem.

On Facebook, the company shared the flash system for smartphones. The A1 has both an LED light and a flash to light your subject.

The A1 can also act as an intermediary for a separate Godox flash. You can also use the LED light on the Godox A1 for video recordings.

A very interesting innovation from Godox. This Chinese brand is already doing very well with innovative products. Bowens, which was recently declared bankrupt, should have taken note.
