Keep in mind there is no auto-dumping on this unit when it comes to power. When you go up in power and then down the white circle with the flash symbol above the one switch will flash. That is letting you know you need to dump the power before taking your next shot so you can get the correct power. It also has a USB and sync for external triggers if needed. This unit does not have HSS or TTL mode. Specs

Are Compact Studio Strobes for You?

High-speed sync completely changes the behavior of your flash. Instead of your flash releasing all of its energy at once, it releases a series of concurrent pulses so that your flash actually acts as a continuous light source for a brief moment. This allows you to exceed your flash sync speed and use any faster mechanical shutter speed available to your camera! The ready light blinks when youndrop power, reminding you to dump the capacitor to get the proper power ratio Godox have added to their already broad range of studio lights with the Godox MS300– a 300Ws monobloc with stripped down features but with a really competitive price and compatible with the whole Godox ecosystem. All of Godox’s current battery models and a couple of plug-ins (QT400II, QT600II) support HSS. The big downside to HSS is that you will lose a lot of peak flash power when you use it. For that reason, we recommend a 400W*s strobe at minimum for serious HSS work. That said, the AD200 Pro is still a competent HSS strobe when the sun gets a little lower. 5. The Ecosystem So how much is enough? Typically, even the highly compact Godox AD200 Pro has more than enough power for most general photography. We would really only recommend the big 600 model strobes (or the mighty Godox AD1200 Pro) if you would be the type of user that constantly pushes your strobes to the limit. If you plan on overpowering the midday sun or shooting large subjects that require you to stop down to f/16 or smaller, then a more powerful strobe would be the right choice.

The minimum power is only 1/32 but for most studio work this isn’t a huge deal breaker. Annoyingly if you try and turn power down below 1/32 on the trigger it turns the light off completely. The modelling light is a traditional bulb rather than an LED so can get a bit hot (my studio doesn’t have much airflow so can get a bit warm) This unit ranges from 1/32 to full power, changing in increments of 1/10 power. This means you have 50 steps of adjustment in between. There is a 1.8 second recycle time at full power, which is to be expected. I have had a MS300 for a few months now. I think it is a great light- at a great price. In fact, I have another one on its way to me. It does not do high speed synch, but in the confines of my small studio space, I don't need that. The R2 trigger has worked great with this unit (and all of my other Godox and Flashpoint units). What a relief to be able to change power of all of the units from the camera. The MS300 has a Bowens front accessory mount, allowing it to use Godox modifiers as well as accessories from the many manufacturers that use this system. I have not had any problem with the tubes being exposed; there is a cover for the bulb and flash tube when it is stored and being transported. I have had no issues when changing modifiers.The Godox MS300 is a professional studio light that is designed to provide reliable and consistent lighting for photography and videography projects. It features a compact and lightweight design, making it easy to transport and set up in various locations. The MS300 utilizes a 300-watt flash tube, which delivers consistent and powerful lighting output for capturing clear and detailed images.
