Godox has just released its Godox iT30Pro pocket flash. A minimal gear in size, but it gives top-notch results. The iT30 Pro pocket flash delivers impressive performance in a compact size. It’s so lightweight that you might forget it’s in your bag. If you also enjoy traveling with minimal gear, this option might satisfy you.
TTL Auto-Exposure That Just Gets You
Rushing to set the right flash always exasperates me. By the time I do, the moment is missed. The Godox iT30 Pro’s TTL mode can help prevent that disappointment. It instantly measures the light through your lens and determines the best flash output for your shot. In simpler words, it does the calculations so you can focus on capturing your favorite moments.
Whether you’re shooting in dim or sunny conditions, it ensures your photos are well-exposed and look perfect straight from the camera. I think this feature makes it a must-have if you’re tired of constantly checking your shots.
Travel-Sized, Studio Vibes
This tiny flash weighs only 120 grams, which is lighter than many chocolate bars. You can easily fit it in your camera bag or even your jacket pocket and take it. As I said earlier, it performs more than its size. It’s roughly a quarter of the size of a typical speed-light, but it performs just as well.
If you’d like to soften the light, you can just pull out the built-in diffuser. You’ll instantly enhance your subject’s appearance without the support of any extra gear.
Big Features in a Tiny Body
The Godox iT30 Pro’s touchscreen responds quickly. You can easily swipe, tap, and adjust menu settings without referring to a user manual. If you prefer a more traditional approach, there’s a reliable rotary dial for fine-tuning your power levels.
Additionally, it includes professional features like 1/8000s high-speed sync, front/rear-curtain sync, and multi-mode options. These allow you to effortlessly capture fast-moving subjects or blend flash with the warm light of sunset. Godox says it performs well in both Master and Receiver modes, allowing you to set up multiple lights wirelessly. I haven’t tried this yet, but it seems good for more intricate shoots.
Power That Keeps Up
I like this feature a lot. It can power up to 560 full-power flashes on a single charge, which means you can shoot all day without changing batteries or grabbing a power bank. When it’s time to recharge, the USB-C fast charging makes it quick and easy. Just plug it in for a bit, and you’re ready to go again.
The 1.5-second recycle time is impressive too. You won’t have to wait long for the next shot.

Final Thoughts
I haven’t tested it yet, but based on Godox’s claims, I think this could be a great addition to your gear. It’s small, smart, and appears to be ready for action. If you’re into travel photography, event shooting, or prefer keeping your gear light and easy to use, the Godox iT30 Pro seems like a product worth exploring.
It might be the flash you didn’t realize you needed!
