Godox SK400III-V Studio Flash Monolight

Overview

The Godox SK400III-V Studio Flash Monolight is a powerful 400Ws studio strobe designed for photographers who require higher output while maintaining consistent color and fast recycling. With a stable 5700K ±200K color temperature and a guide number of 65 m (ISO 100), it provides strong, reliable illumination for portraits, fashion, and product photography.

A built-in 10W LED modeling lamp with 5–100% dimming allows you to preview lighting effects before firing the flash. The 3-second auto memory function preserves your last-used settings, helping maintain efficiency during fast-paced shoots. Recycling times of 0.1 to 1.5 seconds and flash durations as short as 1/260 second ensure responsive performance.
