The Godox AD200Pro flash may be the perfect flash for photography. With its powerful 200Ws of power, robust build quality, and versatility, the Godox AD200 Pro offers unparalleled lighting performance in a compact form. The manual flash mode lets you choose the specific power output. Manual flash provides consistent power to your light from one shot to the next until you make a power adjustment. This mode also allows control of the modeling map, front curtain sync or rear curtain sync

The compact nature of this flash paired with its power prove that it deserves its own category. It makes for the perfect engagement session light since in most cases you won’t need too much strobe power and run with a smaller gear kit. In addition, it runs off the same battery as my Godox V1 which means I only need to travel with one charger. The Perfect Combo of Form & Function The modeling lamp is sufficient for my product photography, but it’s not as strong as the modeling lamp on a strobe. I find the Godox AD200Pro very easy to use, and it’s my default flash for most situations due to its ample power and versatility. 1: A variety of flash headsThe speedlight head outputs directional control of the light. It works well with many light modifiers, particularly when I choose MagMod light modifiers. The MagGrip fits over the fresnel head and helps to create a versatile flash kit.

The Multi flash, or Stroboscopic, mode. Multi flash is a continuous flash function, firing the flash multiple times during one exposure. This generally goes with a slow shutter speed. 13: Additional Flash Heads The Godox AD200Pro can make 1/10th stop incremental power changes instead of the 1/3rd stop increments on the Godox AD200. It’s powerful enough to compete with studio flashes and doesn’t require a power cable that may trip you as you move around the studio. The round head provides a gentler light spread compared to the classic Fresnel. For those who prefer fixed lighting from AD200 units, LED heads are an option — albeit with only 60 LEDs putting out 3.6W of power that isn’t overly powerful. One of the most disruptive things about flash is, unsurprisingly, the flash. When you are working alongside cinema teams it can be a nuisance constantly seeing the strobing light in the footage. Above all, it does affect how hyperaware the subject is of being photographed that it reads in shots. For moments when there is action and both photo and video need to capture it, I prefer using a video light so we can work together to make sure we get the shots we need rather than recreating the moment (one with flash and one without). The modeling light on the AD100 Pro helped immensely for this and photograph static objects like invites, rings, and jewelry with the video team I was shooting this wedding with.The AD200 Pro offers up to 200Ws of power, three times more powerful than a typical on-camera flash. When you see F1 on display, that’s for the beeper. Turn the dial once to turn the mode off, press the center dial button, and now you have quiet mode. Dedicated Stable Color Temperature Mode, which improves color consistency to within +/- 100K throughout the entire power range With its 5600 – 100 Degree K over the entire power range, your images look consistent and accurate every time you shoot with the AD200 Pro.

TTL with Canon, Nikon, Sony cameras with optional X1-C, X1-N, and X1-S transmitters TTL with Olympus, Fujifilm cameras with optional X1T-O and X1T-F transmitters I keep a pair of these in my go-to flash kit and find the AD200Pro has the best combination of size, power, versatility, and a stable color mode to ensure your photos have great light every time. Frequently Asked Questions The AD series is not to be confused with a traditional speedlite unit that can be mounted on a camera hotshoe. It has no hotshoe connection, so must be controlled either via sync cable (3.5mm or USB wireless control port) or (better option) Godox’s 2.4ghz Wireless-X system. This comes either through a master flash unit (like the V1 unit I recently reviewed) or via a wireless flash trigger (I use the X-Pro).The long-life lithium battery has enough charge for 500 full-power flashes, so you don’t have to worry about running out of power mid-shoot. I don’t regularly use high-speed sync, but it can save your day when you need outdoor portraits to overpower the sun. The PIKA200 PRO has faster recycle times compared to the original PIKA200 model. The Recycle times have been reduced down to 1.8 seconds at full power as opposed to 2.5 seconds of the original, meaning you are less likely to miss key moments.

Speedlite flash head: 52m (ISO 100) 35mm coverage Bare bulb flash head: 60m (ISO 100, with the standard reflector) The PIKA200's stroboscopic multi-flash mode, causes your PIKA200 to fire multiple low-powered flashes in rapid succession. When combined with a slow shutter speed, you can capture motion sequences with one exposure, in-camera which can be setup to 90 flashes at a frequency of 99Hz (flashes per second).
