Godox has updated their on-camera flash photography products to have a metal hot shoe instead of a plastic one. This affects products such as the V1, V860II, V850II, V860III, V850III, and V350 speedlights, as well as X1T-S, X2T-S, and XPro-S triggers. The plastic shoe has been a pain point for Godox products for years, as it is extremely fragile. Even light contact with the side of a speedlight can create enough leverage to break a Sony hot shoe, forcing many users to replace them. Even if you are careful, the plastic hot shoe can loosen over time leading to a wiggly flash.

This update also resolves the tightness issue of Godox speedlights / triggers on their newest cameras, the A1 and A7IV. These products have a shorter hot shoe height (to fix a problem with native Sony flashes), making the existing Godox gear very difficult to get on and off.

At the end of this video I stated "I feel that Godox will replace this on all Sony products" as when I recorded this there was no certainty. I have since confirmed this directly with Godox.
