Godox TT520III THINKLITE Camera Flash

Godox TT520III THINKLITE Flash

The Godox TT520III THINKLITE is a simple, affordable manual speedlight ideal for beginners, event photographers, or anyone needing basic on-camera bounce or entry-level off-camera lighting. With a guide number of 108' at ISO 100, it provides decent power in a lightweight, universal hot-shoe design. It runs on four AA batteries (NiMH recommended) for up to 400 full-power flashes and a consistent 1.8-second recycle time.

Important note on wireless: This model is equipped with a built-in 433 MHz wireless receiver only. It does not support Godox's 2.4 GHz X wireless system. This means the TT520III cannot be triggered or controlled wirelessly by Godox's modern 2.4 GHz triggers (such as XPro, X2T, X3, XPro II, or any flashes in the AD/V series that use 2.4 GHz). It is limited to the older 433 MHz protocol for wireless triggering, which has a shorter range and is more prone to interference in crowded environments compared to 2.4 GHz.

Standout Features

• Flexible Bounce Head Tilts from -7° to 120° and rotates 0° to 330° for easy ceiling/wall bounce. Includes a built-in bounce card and flip-out wide-angle diffuser for softer, wider coverage.
• Manual Power Control Eight levels from 1/128 to 1/1 in 1/3-stop increments\u2014straightforward and precise for learning manual flash.
• Triggering Options Standard hot shoe (single contact, works with most cameras). Included 433 MHz RT transmitter for wireless triggering. S1/S2 optical slave modes (S1 fires on first flash, S2 ignores pre-flash). Standard PC sync port for wired setups.
• Accessory Compatibility Works with optional S-R1/S-R2 round-head adapters or S/S2 square adapters to attach Godox magnetic modifiers, gels, snoots, or diffusers.
• Power Flexibility Four AA batteries deliver up to 400 full-power flashes\u2014no proprietary battery required. For faster recycling and more flashes during extended shoots, connect the optional PB960 power pack.
• Compact & Reliable Lightweight and durable with overheat protection\u2014great for travel, weddings as a fill/rim light, or as a budget off-camera starter.

The Godox TT520III THINKLITE offers classic manual flash simplicity at a very low price, but keep in mind its wireless is strictly 433 MHz (not compatible with the 2.4 GHz Godox X system used in newer Godox products). Perfect for basic setups or as a secondary light in a mixed kit.

Pick up the TT520III if you're looking for an inexpensive, no-fuss manual flash that runs on everyday AA batteries!
