When it comes to flash, I’ve invested in Godox for work and play. I’ve been using a pair of Godox Ving V860III flashguns and a companion Godox XPro i-TTL RF wireless trigger for a couple of years now, for paid photo assignments and just for fun, pairing them with my Nikon Z system cameras. I’ve also been impressed with the Godox V1, Godox V1 Pro and Godox V100 flashguns, all of which feature a round rather than rectangular flash tube. For my money, they’re among the best flashguns on the market, and there are also the relatively tiny Godox iM20 and Godox iM22, which are manual flashes designed to work with a wide range of cameras.
The ML-150II Macro Ring Flash follows suit, with ‘universal’ appeal that enables it to work with any camera that has a central triggering pin in a standard-sized hotshoe. There are therefore no dedicated options and, unlike the more advanced, retro-styled Godox iA32, it lacks auto flash metering courtesy of a built-in light meter or optical slave modes. Even so, it aims to be a worthy competitor as one of the best macro ring flash kits on the budget-friendly side of the market.
