There is no built-in flash line. Pre-flash TTL is the metering method. HSS is how you go past 1\/160 \u2014 output drops because the tube pulses. Electronic \/ silent shutter on a non-stacked APS-C readout will not sync a xenon pop across the frame; stay on mechanical or EFCS when the flash is the point.<\/li>\n  <li><strong>The foot is the feature:<\/strong> TTL, HSS, FEC, and rear-curtain need a Sony-protocol foot \u2014 HVL-FxxRM or a Godox \u201cS\u201d body (V1S, V860III-S, TT350S). A Canon-foot V1C will sit in the shoe and still meter like a dumb manual gun. Godox 2.4 GHz X radio is built into these three; an XPro II-S \/ X3-S is for a second head, not a requirement for on-camera TTL. Sony\u2019s radio system does not talk to Godox X \u2014 pick one ecosystem.<\/li>\n  <li><strong>The box you actually buy:<\/strong> Godox lists the V1S at 76 Ws, 28\u2013105 mm coverage, 7.2 V \/ 2600 mAh, ~1.5 s recycle, ~480 full-power pops, 2 W LED model lamp, HSS to 1\/8000. V860III-S is the same watt-second and battery class with a 20\u2013200 mm rectangular zoom and a TCM switch. TT350S is GN 36 (ISO 100, 105 mm) on two AAs. Do not compare a V1 \u201cGN 28 @ 50 mm\u201d sticker to a V860 \u201cGN 60 @ 200 mm\u201d sticker as if they were the same test. Skip F60RM2 as the default \u2014 weather sealing and face-linked OEM TTL are real; $550 and four AAs on a 493 g APS-C body are the tax. Skip V1 Pro \/ V100 unless the bag already has that battery family and you will use the extra UI.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h2>Best Flash for Sony a6700: Detailed Reviews<\/h2>\n\n<div class=\"top-recommendation\" id=\"best-overall\" data-badge=\"best-overall\">\n  <div class=\"top-badge badge-best-overall\">\ud83c\udfc6 Best Overall<\/div>\n  <h3>Godox V1S <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/s?k=Godox+V1S+Flash+Sony&#038;tag=e6890-20&#038;linkCode=osi\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"title-amazon-btn\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">View on Amazon<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bhphotovideo.com\/c\/search?Ntt=Godox+V1S+Flash+Sony&#038;BI=8941&#038;KBID=10361&#038;SID=12345&#038;DFF=d50\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"title-bh-btn\">View on B&#038;H<\/a><\/h3>\n  <div class=\"product-highlights\">\n  <div class=\"highlight-item\"><span class=\"highlight-label\">Best For:<\/span> On-camera bounce and a 2.4 GHz Godox kit<\/div>\n  <div class=\"highlight-item\"><span class=\"highlight-label\">Key Feature:<\/span> Round head \u00b7 76 Ws \u00b7 VB26 \u00b7 TTL \/ HSS<\/div>\n  <div class=\"highlight-item\"><span class=\"highlight-label\">Rating:<\/span> <span class=\"star-rating\">4.7 \/ 5.0 \u2605\u2605\u2605\u2605\u2605<\/span><\/div>\n  <\/div>\n  <table class=\"spec-table\">\n  <tr><th>Model<\/th><td>Godox V1S \u00b7 Sony Multi Interface TTL<\/td><\/tr>\n  <tr><th>Output<\/th><td>76 Ws \u00b7 28\u2013105 mm zoom \u00b7 ~1.5 s recycle \u00b7 ~480 full-power pops (Godox)<\/td><\/tr>\n  <tr><th>Battery<\/th><td>7.2 V \/ 2600 mAh Li-ion (VB26 family, shared with V860III)<\/td><\/tr>\n  <tr><th>On a6700<\/th><td>1\/160 sync \u00b7 HSS past that \u00b7 mechanical \/ EFCS \u00b7 not silent e-shutter<\/td><\/tr>\n  <tr><th>Buy this listing<\/th><td>V1S \/ V1-S.

V1S is that conversation plus a round head that feathers bounce instead of printing a rectangular hot spot on a ceiling. The lithium pack is why recycle stays near 1.5 s without a pocket of AAs. The 2 W LED is a modeling \/ AF helper, not a video key. Magnetics (AK-R1 dome, grid, gels) are the modifier story. It is top-heavy on a 16\u201350 or a 18\u2013135 \u2014 two hands or a strap. 11 fps at 1\/1 is not a speedlight job; drop to 1\/16\u20131\/32 if you need a burst.

Faster shutters need HSS on a Sony-protocol flash; power falls off because the tube strobes through the slit. Do not treat 1\/8000 on a Godox box as the camera\u2019s x-sync.<\/p><\/div>\n  <div class=\"faq-item\"><h3>Will flash work in silent \/ electronic shutter?<\/h3><p>Plan on no. The a6700\u2019s full electronic readout is not a stacked global reset. Use mechanical shutter or EFCS for xenon. Video is a continuous LED \/ Godox ML problem, not this speedlight page.<\/p><\/div>\n  <div class=\"faq-item\"><h3>Do I need a Godox trigger on the camera?<\/h3><p>Not for one V1S \/ V860III-S \/ TT350S in the shoe \u2014 that unit is the master. You need an X3-S or XPro II-S when the flash leaves the camera or you mix Sony OEM radio with nothing. Sony radio and Godox X do not share a protocol.<\/p><\/div>\n  <div class=\"faq-item\"><h3>Why does burst mode miss flashes?<\/h3><p>The a6700 can run 11 fps. A 76 Ws pack cannot refill at 1\/1 that fast. Drop flash power, use the lithium models, or slow the drive. That is physics, not a defective V1S.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<h2>Final Verdict<\/h2>\n<div class=\"conclusion-module verdict-box\">\n  <div class=\"verdict-picks\">\n  <div class=\"verdict-item\">\n  <span class=\"verdict-label\">\ud83c\udfc6 Best Overall:<\/span>\n  <div class=\"verdict-product\"><strong>Godox V1S<\/strong> <span class=\"verdict-reason\">\u2013 Round head, VB26, Sony TTL \/ HSS.<\/span><\/div>\n  <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/s?k=Godox+V1S+Flash+Sony&#038;tag=e6890-20&#038;linkCode=osi\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"verdict-btn\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Buy Now<\/a>\n  <\/div>\n  <div class=\"verdict-item\">\n  <span class=\"verdict-label\">\ud83d\udc8e Best Value:<\/span>\n  <div class=\"verdict-product\"><strong>Godox V860III-S<\/strong> <span class=\"verdict-reason\">\u2013 Same pack, 200 mm zoom, TCM.<\/span><\/div>\n  <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/s?k=Godox+V860III-S&#038;tag=e6890-20&#038;linkCode=osi\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"verdict-btn\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Buy Now<\/a>\n  <\/div>\n  <div class=\"verdict-item\">\n  <span class=\"verdict-label\">\ud83d\udcb0 Budget Pick:<\/span>\n  <div class=\"verdict-product\"><strong>Godox TT350S<\/strong> <span class=\"verdict-reason\">\u2013 Mini TTL \/ HSS that matches the body.<\/span><\/div>\n  <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/s?k=Godox+TT350S&#038;tag=e6890-20&#038;linkCode=osi\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"verdict-btn\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Buy Now<\/a>\n  <\/div>\n  <\/div>\n  <p class=\"verdict-summary\">For most a6700 kits, buy a Godox V1S, stay on mechanical or EFCS, and treat 1\/160 as the sync wall unless HSS is on.
