Whilst these two flashes are very similar, the AD200 Pro has the edge on the AD200, meaning that of the two, it is the AD200 Pro that you will struggle to find a Godox user without! The AD200 Pro is the most popular of this entire range for its versatility, and portable nature. On all three Nikon, Sony and Pentax cameras, it fired every single time, and the TTL exposures were pretty close to where we’d have put the exposure if we were doing it manually. But regardless of whether we were shooting within sync or at 1/1000th of a second, the AD400 Pro never missed a beat. Of course, most of us wouldn’t expect it to, but this is possibly the first time that anybody has tried it on a Pentax camera outside of the Godox test labs. The Godox AD range of flash heads is by far the most popular of the Godox flash series and for good reason! Every light is powerful, portable, lightweight and exceptionally high quality, so it's no wonder that photographers are all looking to expand their kit using these lighting solutions. However, a few of the questions we often get asked are, what exactly is the difference between the lights in this series, what can each power level of the AD range get you, and which modifiers will these lights work with? To answer these questions, and more, we have created a comprehensive guide to buying your Godox AD flash head! Master and Slave Function: AD400Pro can use with combination with Godox TTL camera flashes, TTL outdoor flashes etc.
But the AD400 Pro proved to us that it could handle the vast majority of situations any of us would find ourselves in for both our personal and paid photography work. Despite three of us shooting the single strobe that day, that was turned on the entire time, I didn’t have to dip into my Novoo to recharge the battery at all. At the end of the day it was still showing 3 out of 4 lights on the charge indicator Right from the outset, it’s clear that Godox has put some thought into making the AD400Pro flash even more transportable and convenient by providing a carry case with the unit itself – an accessory that the AD600Pro does not come with.Partway through the day, we went to take a break in Glasgow Green park. So I tested my usual TTL method. Aperture priority with -2EV on the camera, and +2EV on the flash in TTL mode. As I mentioned, the AD400 Pro essentially offers the same features as the AD600 Pro with the new firmware, but with a little less power. One of the features recently added to the AD600 Pro in this firmware was 1/10th stop adjustment options. I’m really hoping that Godox announces an AD200 Pro at some point in the near future to complete the “Pro” lineup and make this choice a little easier. Given the recent release of the H200R round head and EC200 extension head for the AD200, I think we’ll be waiting a while. Offering 100Ws of power in a compact body (sizing in at just 120x76x76 mm, of the size of a can for scale!), as well as 390 full-power flashes from a single charge of its rechargeable battery! This makes the AD100 Pro perfect for traveling photographers, event photographers, as well as any on-location shoots, due to its wireless, portable and lightweight nature. The 100Ws of power is suitable to fill a softbox and so can be used with a range of modifiers and still produce an excellent effect within your work.
Normally when I shoot TTL, it’s when I’m forced to bring my camera along to family events. I’ll set my camera to aperture priority with -2EV compensation to underexpose the ambient and pop an SB-900 in the hotshoe bounced off the ceiling set to +2EV to bring the subject up where I want it. Built-In Godox 2.4G Wireless X System with Great Compatibility: AD400Pro is compatible with Canon E-TTL II, Nikon i-TTL autoflash, Sony, Fujifilm, Olympus and Panasonic TTL autoflash system with support for 1/8000s high-speed sync. The AD600 Pro also offers a very powerful modeling lamp, meaning that this light can also be used as a video light alongside its flash capabilities! Offering a 38w light, as well as a 4-hour battery life from a single charge, the AD600 Pro is a great tool for both videography and flash photography. The Bowens adapter is solid, can be left attached permanently, can still be used with the supplied reflector and all fits inside the case completeAll-in-One Outdoor Flash|: 400Ws Strong Power, 0.01-1s Recycle Time, 12 Continuous Flashes in 1/16 Power Output, 30W LED Modeling Lamp, 390 Full Power Pops, Stable Color Temperature(change within ±75K over the entire power range in color temperature mode) Within many industries, the premium for lighter and more compact attributes can be extremely high, and the Godox pro level series of strobes is incredibly reasonable, and is simply not charging what the photographic industry has commonly become accustomed to. It’s a robust system that works with the most common modifier mounts available for an absolutely reasonable cost, all while offering features that enable faster and more accurate creation. I would surmise that the AD400 Pro will become a hit as it works into the kits of hobbyists and professionals alike that are looking to save some cost and weight while affording the benefits of a strobe that is equal to some of the best lighting companies in the world. Shot on the Pentax K1 and SMC M 35-70mm f4 lens at 1/1000 (the first three) and 1/320 (far right) at f/4, ISO200 – Lex’s photos. I love that the AD400 Pro comes in its own case, even if it is precut foam. Many previous models of Godox light didn’t, including the AD600 Pro, unless you bought it from Adorama. The AD200 also comes in a similar, but obviously smaller, case, also with precut foam. But I do wish with this one, that there wasn’t so much wasted space inside it.
With both units featuring Godox’s 2.4GHz X-System Radio Receiver built in, setting up a shoot has never been easier. The AD200 Pro and the AD200 have an awful lot in common; both lights offer 200Ws of power, a transmission range of 100m, TTL and HSS capabilities, 32 channels, around 500 full-power flashes, as well as both offering a lightweight and portable flash photography option. The Godox Witstro AD400Pro All-in-One Outdoor Flash has 400ws strength power, 0.01-1s recycling time, 12 continuous flashes in 1/16 power output, 40w LED modelling lamp, 380 full power pops and stable colour temperature (which changes within +-75k over the entire power range in colour temperature mode.
Pros
No 1/3 stop power adjustment option on the strobe itself (but you can still do 1/3 stop increments from the trigger)
Edit: I probably should’ve put the power & more specific details in this bit (thanks for the reminder, Ulysses). Godox is also releasing their own range of modifiers to fit directly to the unit. However, as a shooter who already uses Godox lights, I have several Bowens mount modifiers so I find myself using the Bowens mount adapter almost every time.Comparing the modelling lamps, the AD600Pro comes out on top with a 38W COB LED, compared to the 30W COB LED on the AD400Pro. A screen grab from the XPro-P review video (coming soon) lit by the AD400 Pro modelling light inside a 4ft parabolic softbox. 1/50, f/8, ISO800. New power button sequence prevents accidentally turning it on and wasting power (or burning anything) while travelling to or from a shoot
Great Deal
