About this deal

If you do find yourself often in these situations at a wedding then you may want to consider a more powerful flash. Godox have released a range of strobes with more power. From the AD300 right the way to the upcoming retina burning AD1200! More powerful flashes will give you the option to use larger light modifiers to help you project softer light for better results. It’s no secret I’m a huge fan of the Godox AD200’s. In fact I own three now with one AD200 pro. The latter I only bought since it was at a really good price. Otherwise I wouldn’t have done so.

You can change groups by pressing the GR/CH button and change to a different channel by holding down the same button for two seconds then using the dial to choose which channel you would like. At weddings, the Godox AD200’s are my main flashes for pretty much everything. Outdoors for groups. Portraits. Indoors, I use them to light speeches, first dances and occasionally if the situation demands, wedding ceremonies. Taking wedding photos in the middle of a sunny day is something I avoid if at all possible. The sun is just not very flattering to your subjects. Plus trying to overpower the sun means using a lot of power. If you’re not familiar with the Godox AD200 flash. Prior to the AD200, if you wanted a portable flash solution for location shooting. Your choices were extremely limited. Sure you could use a single speedlight but outdoors the humble speedlight was limiting. Combining them together was a cumbersome affair. Abundant and Useful Functions】Godox AD200 has 8 stops of power adjustment (1/1 to 1.128) to offer full control of the light on your scene and giving you better lighting effects. Fully supported FEC, 1/8000s HSS, first/second curtain sync, modelling lamp, Manual flash, Support firmware update; Use Godox 2.4G wireless X system to achieve TTL; Control or use Godox TTL wireless flash trigger to control TTL functions wirelessly, adjust flash's power levels.

Customer reviews

If I have to and have no other choice. Then I do use the AD200 as a fill flash for group photos. In which case I put one of them into my Magbox and it is usually enough power. Occasionally I use two to give my 400Ws but I loathe to do it. Since it means I am totally out of options and taking photos in those sorts of conditions aren't ideal. I often use this combination for group photos and wedding portraits (time permitting) and corporate headshots. Flash power can now be controlled by 1/10 increments and minimum power is now 1/256 rather than 1/128 on the original Godox AD200. Technically not a Godox AD200 accessory but I think it’s fair to say that this is the light modifier of choice for most wedding photographers.

I no longer take the bare bulb head out to weddings with me. The only times I’ve used it in the last two years were for commercial headshots where I can put the barebulb head into a softbox. And more recently for a destination wedding where I opted to take the AD-S7 softbox due to its small, portable size.The photo above was taken just before sunset with a single Godox AD200 using the Magmod & Maggrid/Magsphere from camera left. And single AD200 behind the bride & groom with fresnel head, no modifier. It is worth noting that the AD200 Pro does have a recessed LCD screen which should help though I still remain sceptical it would survive a 2m drop. Even with the introduction of the Godox AD300 which are much more like the Profoto B10's, I am not remotely tempted to switch. The fact they fit neatly into my camera bag. Slip into my think tank pouch so I can carry one on my hip when I am walking to take photos. It’s just perfect for a wedding photographer on the move. There! If you are a stats nerd then fill your boots! 🙂 Suffice to say it pretty much has all the features you'd expect from a modern flash and some you'll probably never use. Interface The answer for me is ‘no’. Not for wedding photography anyway. The changes are too small to justify the extra money. And the power adjustments for 0.1 instead of 0.3 is actually very annoying for weddings since it slows me down.
