Flash macro Godox MF12 temps de recyclage 1,7 s puissance 12 W

The Godox MF12 is a compact macro flash designed for close-up photography of small subjects such as plants, animals and insects. With a lightweight body and built-in rechargeable battery, the MF12 can be used individually or combined with additional units on a separate mounting ring to create ring-flash effects or more flexible multi-flash setups. The unit provides precise positioning via an adjustable head and remains unobtrusive in the frame while illuminating the subject.

Advantages

The MF12 offers portable power thanks to its built-in lithium battery, supporting up to about 500 full-power flashes and a recycling time range of 0.01–1.7 s. Its small size and adjustable head enable easy placement for extreme close-up work, and multiple units can be slid and rotated around a mounting ring for versatile lighting patterns. 2.4 GHz wireless control with 5 groups and 32 channels provides remote triggering and reduces interference when multiple systems are used.

• Close-up and macro photography of plants

How to use

Attach the MF12 to your lens using a compatible mounting ring and adapter for the lens diameter (mounting ring and adapters sold separately). Position the adjustable head for the desired angle and distance to the subject; for multi-flash setups mount additional MF12 units on the ring and slide or rotate each unit to shape the light. Use the built-in battery and recharge via USB‑C when depleted. Trigger the flash wirelessly using a compatible 2.4 GHz Godox transmitter or other supported trigger, assigning groups and channels as needed.

Recommendations

For optimal close-up lighting, start with a single MF12 to find the best angle and exposure, then add more units around the mounting ring to reduce shadows or create more even illumination. Use the wireless groups and channels to control each flash independently and keep a charged USB‑C cable handy for field work.
