I tested the light in an indirect softbox to eliminate the chance of a hot spot influencing the result. The Godox Witstro AD300Pro All-in-One Outdoor Flash has 300ws strength power, 0.01-1.5s recycling time, 12w LED modelling lamp bi-colour, 320 full power pops and stable colour temperature, Built-in (removable) 14.4v/2600mAh Lithium-ion Battery

We have tried to cover all of the features, the specifications, the pros and the cons of every flash unit in the AD range so far, including the AD100 Pro. So, let's start with the newest of the AD series. AD100 Pro damage resulting from improper use or storage of the product not in accordance with the user manual and safety regulations Fully Supporting TTL auto flash, Flash Exposure Compensation, First Curtain Sync, Second Curtain Sync, Manual Flash, Multi Flash etc. The AD300 Pro works with multiple camera brands and various accessories using the appropriate adapter. The AD300 Pro allows High Speed Shooting of up to 1/8000th of a second, allowing you to catch that perfect action through beautiful crisp images with perfect lighting. Power Sleep Power off automatically after approximately 30~120 minutes of idle operation. User-selectable in Custom Functions. The strobe is equally accurate as the AD200 Pro in it’s stable color mode, at +/-100k. With stable color off it’s +/-200k. Testing with the C-800 colorimeter, I saw color temperatures in the 5900-6000k range with color stable mode on. Stable color mode can be turned on or off in the custom functions. When off, the flash durations are shorter.

The Main Features

TTL AND HSS COMPATIBILITY: Fully Supporting TTL auto flash, Flash Exposure Compensation, First Curtain Sync, Second Curtain Sync, Manual Flash, Multi Flash etc. The AD300 Pro works with multiple camera brands and various accessories using the appropriate adapter. The AD300 Pro allows High-Speed Shooting of up to 1/8000th of a second, allowing you to catch that perfect action through beautiful crisp images with perfect lighting.

The AD300Pro is characterized by low weight (only 1.4 kg with battery, dish, flash tube and handle). It is equipped with an LCD screen, as well as a tripod mount with smooth adjustment of the angle of inclination. An additional advantage is the light and compact housing made of high-quality film materials. However, Godox learned from the AD200 and what they learned they applied to the Pro. On the AD200 Pro they improved the recycle time from 0.01-2.1s to 0.01 to 1.8s, as well as offering a greater choice of power ranges (1/256-1/1 in 1/10th stop increments instead of 1/128-1/1 in 8 stops). They also improved upon the design of the flash by adding a sunken LCD screen to the unit which protects the screen against damage in the case of being dropped or blown over. damage caused by external factors such as flooding with liquid, moisture, too high or too low temperature, atmospheric discharges, chemical agents, and other factors beyond the Guarantor's control

In our tests using a Canon-dedicated Flashpoint R2 Pro 2.4GHz Transmitter, TTL flash metering was a touch on the bright side, equating to half an f/stop of overexposure. Even so, the results were impressively consistent in a wide range of shooting conditions and over varying distances, so you can reliably dial in a little negative flash exposure compensation if desired. Godox AD300Pro: Final Verdict The CRI of the flash is very high at 97.9, with a CCI green cast of .1. In layman’s terms, this light is extremely neutral and will render colors accurately. For light output, the AD300 Pro fits directly between the AD400 Pro and AD200 Pro. It was a half stop more powerful than the AD200, and a half stop less powerful than the AD400 Pro, which makes perfect sense. A closeup view of the AD300 Pro’s display and controls Interface and Design When used in a studio setting, its formidable power is more than sufficient for illuminating full-length portraits, all while eliminating the inconvenience and potential safety hazards associated with cumbersome wires. Moreover, this versatile flash can be easily utilized outdoors, making it a valuable tool for countering intense sunlight or enhancing the impact of nighttime photography sessions. If you turn it on in the custom functions, the AD300 Pro will display T.1 flash durations on the LCD. This figure measures the time it takes for the flash to drop from its peak brightness to 10% of its peak brightness. It’s useful for determining how well the flash can freeze motion at a given power setting.

The AD300 Pro has a familiar interface, that will have any X series user feel right at home. The first thing I noticed when side by side with the AD200 Pro was how much brighter the AD300 Pro’s display is. This will make setting the group and channel easier when outdoors. 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. Unfortunately, controlling the Bi-color LED lamp can only be done from the AD300 Pro menu, as it’s not currently available on any X Series transmitter. Otherwise, once you set the channel and group, the only reason you should have to touch the display often is to turn the light on and off. The design of the A D300 Pro also leaves the display completely exposed should a drop occur, a lesson I thought Godox learned between the AD200 and AD200 Pro. While I put little weight in the aesthetics of photography tools, the display and buttons do look dated when compared to the competition. Battery and Recycle Speed The AD300 Pro features all the unique features of the Godox Wistro AD range and offers a strong power output of 300Ws. Unlike the AD200 / AD200 Pro, the AD300 Pro has a built-in fan, allowing you to shoot for longer without overheating. Featuring a circular round head design much like the AD600Pro and AD400Pro, this specialised glass protected flash tube allows you to achieve the most out of the 300Ws power of the AD300 Pro.

I will give credit to Godox for improving the light quality of this modeling lamp. It has a CRI average of 95.4, which means it does a decent job at accurately representing colors, and its Kelvin temperature was accurate when testing with my Sekonic C-800 colorimeter. Testing the Godox AD300 Pro Bi-Color LED with the Sekonic C-800 Color Accuracy At flash power settings up to and including 1/4 maximum power, recycle speeds proved virtually instantaneous in our tests, official specifications rating them at around 1/100th of a second. Recycling is still fast at 1/2 and full-power settings, recorded at 0.5 and 1.5 seconds respectively. Whilst the AD600 Pro is a wireless flash, powered by rechargeable Li-ion Batteries, an AC adapter is available to create a mains-powered flash head. This AC adapter is great for studio work as it means that neither you nor your work is restricted by battery power on longer shoots. By offering the choice between mains or battery-powered, the AD600 Pro becomes an even more versatile, lighting option for all shoots! Let’s start with the size, which is hard to appreciate from a standalone image. While it’s placed in between the Godox AD200 Pro and AD400 Pro in terms of wattage, the size argument is more complex than that. The AD200 Pro is longer and skinnier, whereas the AD300 Pro is shorter and fatter. The AD200 Pro with bare-bulb is 10x2x3.25″, or 65 cubic inches. The AD300 Pro is 7.5×3.5×4″, or 100 cubic inches. So despite its compact look, the chunky AD300 Pro does take up roughly 50% more space. The AD300 Pro just makes the cut inside my LowePro Photostream SP 200, standing upright just as a large prime lens would.The distinguishing feature of the AD300 Pro is very high stability and repeatability in the entire range of flash energy regulation. It is characterised by a flash color temperature of 5600K + -200K. In a situation where high precision of the color temperature is required, the user can activate the Color Mode.

Godox is not responsible for financial losses and other civil law consequences caused by a defect in the advertised device (loss of profit, turnover, inability to conduct business). I tested the flash durations using the Sekonic L-858d-u light meter, and the results were all better than the figures Godox includes on the display. 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 customer may be charged with the costs of transport and diagnosis of the product if the product sent as part of the warranty complaint is functional or its defects result from improper use of the product. The AD300 Pro comes with an advanced lithium-ion battery that has been designed for performance, making it more reliable than ever when shooting on location. The battery is loaded into the underside of the unit to keep it super compact due to its small size, whilst still offering a recycle time of just 0.01-1.5s with up to approximately 320 full power flashes. The AD300 Pro battery is completely interchangeable, allowing one to be on charge whilst the other is firing away.

I want to focus on the bi-colour LED modeling lamp, a first for a Godox X series strobe, and no doubt influenced by Profoto’s introduction of the feature on the B10. The AD300 Pro’s modeling lamp color can be adjusted from 3000k to 6000k. Again, this can only currently be done on the strobe itself, not from the trigger. Perhaps this will be added with a firmware update, there’s certainly room for this control on the Flashpoint R2 Pro Mark II. Now, don’t get too excited about this, as it’s only a 12w LED.
