Godox A2 Smartphone Flash

The Godox A2 Smartphone Xenon Flash provides app-controlled photographic lighting and a bi-color LED for compatible iPhones. Automatic and manual flash modes support quick portraits or deliberate exposure adjustments. Its magnetic body attaches to your phone or works separately, helping mobile creators control lighting direction for photographs and video.

Use the A2 for close-range smartphone portrait photography, indoor content creation, and backlit subjects. The xenon burst can help freeze movement when flash supplies the main illumination. For portable video lighting, switch to the continuous LED and adjust its color temperature to suit your scene. A compact circular housing makes the light easy to carry between locations.

The Godox Camera app connects through Bluetooth, with NFC, or near-field communication, assisting setup. TTL, or through-the-lens automatic metering, manages flash exposure; manual operation gives you control over output. Godox lists iPhone 15 and later models with iOS 18.0 or later as compatible. Magnetic modifiers provide additional shaping options, while current app and firmware versions support reliable communication.
