- My entire kit of gear : kit.co/robhall... My top 3 Speedlights :
Godox V860II : bit.ly/zoomr2ttl
Godox V1 : adorama.rfvk.n...
Godox V350 : adorama.rfvk.n...
In this video I explain why your speedlight flash may get stuck at 14mm, 17mm, or another wide angle number. It is because the wide angle diffuser is not seated back in the flash. When the wide angle diffuser is out, your flash will always default to it's widest zoom setting, which has a smaller number than is typical.
I go on to discuss the basics of zoom, how it's designed to function, and how you can use it to get more control using light modifiers.
I illustrate this using some of my favorite flash products, like the Godox V860II, and Godox V350. Knowing how to control your zoom is a basic fundamental of on and off camera lighting with speedlights. This video applies to all speedlites such as Nikon SB-900 / SB-800, Canon 600ex-rt and 580ex ii, and Yongnuo YN-565 and YN-560 IV.

I've been wondering why my flash stock at 14mm. Good thing I have watched your video
Thanks! I thought there was something wrong with my flash, but you taught me a valuable lesson. Thanks so much!!
Just got myself a Godox V860III and I was wondering why this was, thanks for getting straight to the point and explaining everything so clearly
You explained this so much better than all these other videos that are trying to explain how to use this type of flash. Thank YOU!
I cannot believe it; I've been wracking my brains trying to figure out not only why I couldn't change the mm length of my flash range, but also why flash wasn't firing on manual mode. Stunned it was such a simple fix and that I came across your video by random chance. Got two big wedding jobs coming up and was freaking out that I wouldn't figure out the solution. Thanks so much!
Thanks so much. Stuck at 14mm problem solved! This is the best video I've seen on the Godox TT685. I thought my control wheel was not functioning since I couldn't adjust the focal length and get it out of manual setting and back to auto. Live and learn.
Literally nobody else on the internet has talked about this zooming beep. Thank you!!
Omg you just saved me from returning my flash, after spending hours trying to figure out why it was stuck in 14mm mode. What did we ever do before You Tube!! Thanks bunches!!!!
Man... You have saved my day. I dropped my flash yesterday, nothing serious. And I wasn't able to change to Auto thinking it broke. And yes, that wide angle modifier was one millimeter out. Now is in and everything is OK.!!! Thank you
Rob, You're a life saver! Just about to pack my new Godak V860 ii o back into its box etc and return to the supplier because the zoom setting wouldn't move from 7mm. Having found your video, I checked the wide angle diffuser and found I hadn't pushed it completely home. Problem solved. Many, many thanks
Same....he saved a return!! V860 III F
omg THANK YOU for explaining the speedlight zoom function so well!!
Huge thanks, Rob! I didn't have my diffuser/bounce card snapped all the way in.
Now, I just need to get TTL to work.
You saved a return!! Just received a brand new V860III F, could not get the "zoom" to auto, selector not operable. Sure enough, the diffuser lens was not all the way seated back in the flash head. Wow, what a simple concept.
Thank you. Great information! I'm understanding it so much better just now as i go off to shoot more important events....🙏
I have been using my Godox TT685 since 2 years , using flash on camera i always get low light and have to open high iso , i finally came to know after 2 years about settings of flash for zoom option , thenk you for explaining it in very easy way
OMG greatest video on this issue. Bought a used SB 800 from Adorama. Amazing price, gently used. Spent 3 days on the internet trying to find out why I could not get it off of 14mm. I had the flash head diffuser on. Duh!! People, don't be afraid to buy used equipment from reputable people like Adorama. This flash I got for$84. Retail has always been $300 - $400. Great find.
I remember when i got my godox you answered my questions on how to set up the flash and it made a world of difference. Thanks so much. 3 years ago and what a journey with ocf for me!!
Oh my goodness... you solved my problem with the being stuck at 14mm. If you drink beer and you were near I'd buy you a few. Thanks, dude.
First video I came across and problem sorted. I was beginning to think my new flash (GODOX V860iii for Nikon) was faulty. Can't believe it was something so simple. Thanks for posting this video!
That first video was such a trip. At first I thought it was a joke then I thought you were just throwing in some bloopers to see behind the scenes. After some time I realized wow this is his raw footage he will be editing from. It was great to see! I liked seeing the thought process as you stopped mid sentence when you realized it was heading in the wrong direction, paused, then started again. Glad I was one of the lucky who got to see it. Thanks and I love all your videos on lighting and other things.
I see you removed the previous raw version of this video but I have to say this video combined with the previous unedited video would be an amazing learning tool for folks wanting to get into TH-cam. I know I personally learned a few things by now seeing both of them. Just a thought.... And of course great video content as well, thanks!
Me too!
Thank you for explaining zoom flash in an easy-to-understand way. This video tutorial is a godsend.

Very useful This video sir, , big thank you sir R.MANOHAR ,Chennai.India
I had to sign into TH-cam to make sure I gave you a like and I just subscribed. I thought my Godox flash was broken. Thank you.
Thank you, this salvaged my Speedlight. I couldn't get it out of 14mm mode, and didn't notice that the diffuser wasn't completely latched back into the head. It was slightly out, and that was all it took.
I just want to say thank you, this video helped me a lot. Thanks so much brother.
This was really helpful Rob. I've used speedlights on a few occasions but didn't really know how to control them. I couldn't figure out why the zoom function didn't work either but thanks to your video, now I do 👍🙏
Thank you Man. I have been wondering why this thing is happening, since long time. You saved me..
OMG! Fantastic!!! You answered all my questions. My flash was stuck at 7 mm (I have a micro 4/3's camera). Thank you for teaching me!
Excellent quick answer. Love you man!!!
Thanks Rob for sharing your valuable experience, this helped heaps !! Have a solvent and prosperous 2022 bro !!

So glad I found your video being stuck on 14mm was driving me crazy. Thank you for your great explanations.
I also had the "stuck at 14 mm issue". Thank you so much for the solution!
So helpful Thank you
Excellent information! I was about to return my newest flash thinking it was broken being stuck in 14mm. I’m having a hard time mastering off camera flash. Thank you.
Thank you so much for your clear explanations!
I never would have thought to check if the bounce card or diffuser were out just a tad. Thanks! I'm using the Nikon SB-5000 and the manual does not mention this.😃😃
Had this Problem exactly on Location. Thanks very much!!
This just saved me from returning a flash! Thank you
Well i struggle so much to find out why... and it was so simple ! Very good nice video and information !!! Learn now in 2 minutes before internet youtube might take much much more effort !!!

Thank you so much for this info. Im just a newbie to photography and i included flash accessory because I want to try this one. Its like nearly an hour and I dont know also why is it stuck on 12mm or 14mm. 😅
I search for tutorial and your video is the first choice.
Hope you keep on making helpful tips like this. I just subscribed to you. Thank you and God bless.
Thanks for the tip and other info! Just got my flash, and was wondering why it was on 14mm - turns out the wide-angle flash card was just barely pulled up!
I liked the previous unedited video 👍
Me too!
A very important problem addressed in such a wonderful way. Thank you for your valuable time and knowledge to help us. Very happy to know this.😁😁😁😁
Thank you so much! I loved how you directly jumped to answer!! I was stuck at 14mm! Subscribing!!
Awesome video, thank you for for sharing the knowledge, I was bit frustrated when pressing the flash zoom button it did not change, this really helps.
I am a photographer with 10 years of experience, and I couldn't figure out why the fuck it was stuck at 14mm. Such a simple little thing. Thank you for cutting straight to the chase.
Thank you for a simpel answer I've been looking for 🙂
How did I miss this video? This have been extremely helpful
Your a genius! I fought with my flash for 2 days before I found this video.. ty. My flash is no longer stick on 14mm. Lol!
Thank you! I have a shoot tomorrow and was losing my mind over why my V860ii was stuck at 14mm.
No one anywhere and even limit live explains the zoom getting stuck at 14mm . I only wish I found this Video before I wasted hours of time trying to figure out if my new flash was defective Thank you
Thank you so much. I thought either I messed up some setting or I broke my brand new flash. You are the best.
now I was desperate ....thank you so much for solving my problem ...
U dont know how much i grateful for this information bruh💜
Thanks man, I got stuck in 14mm for a long time. It's disaster. Finally It's fixed now. The video is really helpful.
Great, informative videos as always. Thank you!
THANK YOU SO MUCH! I was going crazy to figure this out. 😂
Brilliant problem solved. Thanks 😊
man you made my day in 1 single minute. Thank you so much
Thank you for this video, I had the same trouble.
This video solved my 144mm flash stuck. Additionally, gave some insights into zoom combined with honeycomb grids
Very informative for flash photography newbs like myself. Thanks a bunch!
You did an excellent job here Robert as this topic is all over the place especially with the Godox or flashpoint series, which are the same flash with the flashpoint being sold and warranties through Adorama.
Super helpful thanks man that's been puzzling me of late
Thank you so much ☺️; this 14mm thing was driving me crazy 🤣
Wish I knew this 4 hours and 2 speedlights ago. Thanks some of my sanity has now returned.
oh man, thank you for that. Really frustrating because the card is stuck at most times on my TT350... this helps.
thank you so much man...you tip worked... extremely happy 👍👍👍👍🤘🤘
thank you men for this video
you gave me the idea to solve my problem
thanku so much... your video is very helpful
This explains so much. Thanks!
Love you 😘, I Just face this problem...then I search in TH-cam & get your video. & It solve🤩 thnku
you saved me a lot of trouble.thanks
You saved my life !!! thanks a lot bro!!!
You did my day, great video.
finally solved my problem, the manual that comes with the v860iii only explains how to set it to auto but not that its influenced by this card
Thank you. Was about to return my flash.
Thanks for the video. I just got my Godox tt685c for my Canon T7i and could not figure out why I could not manually adjust the flash. It was stuck on 14mm and yes I had the diffuser out. One question though. I am a complete newb with speedlites and I cannot figure out how to place the unit into auto zoom?
Thank you so much!!!!
Dude thanks a lot I just got my flash and I was playing with it and it was stuck at 14mm you solved my headache in first 2min of your video I already started thinking :
Why always me... 🥺whhhyyyy?????😀😀
Really great lesson thanks again
Great video... I might missed, but how should I set the zoom when using a softbox or those softbox with little beauty dish? Thanks!!
In both instances I would suggest either 24mm or keeping the WA diffuser up.
Lol thank you so much I just worried about my zoom it's broken or sth I did wrong or I just destroyed it but It was because of that white diffuser just need a little more push to click in
Thank you so much😁
Thanks! Solved my issue, the funny thing is that automatic Zoom doesn’t work anymore when in automatic mode. Any tips? YN685
I love this guy. He knows his sh*t!!! Thanks so much for this!!👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾📸📸
OMG. i thought my flash was broken. Thank you!
Great video!!! Thanks 🙏🙏
AWESOME.. YOU MADE MY DAY !!
Thank you so much! I've thought I damaged something right after buying this, but thank god I'm not!
Thanks, that was helpful! 🙏
