The Flashpoint Zoom Li-ion (a rebranded Godox Ving) is a lithium-powered flashgun available in manual and Canon/Nikon TTL variants.

Flashpoint Zoom Li-ion

Adorama has announced a new shoe-mount flash powered by lithium batteries, the Flashpoint Zoom Li-ion.  The light looks like an ordinary flashgun, but runs off a rechargeable Li-ion battery, providing longer life and faster recycle times than AAs, without the need for external power packs.

Avid readers of the site will recognise the Flashpoint Zoom Li-ion as a rebrand of the popular Godox Ving series. Adorama is selling three variants with manual (V850; power control down to 1/128), Canon TTL (V860C) and Nikon TTL (V860N) power control. All have optional radio triggering and wireless power adjustment by way of a 16-channel transmitter and receiver. The TTL versions offer high-speed sync (HSS), autofocus-assist and advanced wireless optical control for their respective flash systems.
