Godox makes some of my all-time favorite flashguns. I’ve been using a pair of Godox Ving V860III flashguns and a Godox XPro i-TTL RF wireless trigger with my Nikon Z system cameras for the last couple of years and they’ve done a brilliant job. I’ve also been impressed with the round-headed Godox V1, Godox V1 Pro and Godox V100 flashguns. All in all, I think that Godox makes some of the best flashguns on the market, that are also among the most cost-effective. The iM20 that I’m reviewing here is something rather different. Whereas all of the above come in various options that are dedicated to specific camera systems, and have a powerful maximum output, the iM20 is kind of the opposite. Many mirrorless cameras these days don’t feature a pop-up flash, and the iM20 aims to be a convenient substitute. It’s really tiny, weighs next to nothing, has a relatively low maximum output (much like a pop-up flash) and features a universal fitting rather than being dedicated to particular camera brands. Let’s just say the iM20 keeps things small and simple.
