For even greater flexibility, the optional ML-GB adapter allows the use of Bowens S-Type modifiers, opening the door to an extensive selection of softboxes, reflectors, lanterns, and other light-shaping tools.
Flexible Power Options
The included ML-BA rechargeable battery provides true cable-free operation for location work, while additional power options include V-Mount batteries, Sony NP-F battery solutions, and mains power via an optional adapter. This flexibility allows the ML80Bi to adapt to almost any shooting environment.

Built-in Bluetooth connectivity allows the light to be controlled remotely using the Godox Light App for iOS and Android devices. NFC pairing makes connecting to the app fast and straightforward, allowing you to adjust brightness, colour temperature, and effects directly from your smartphone.
