Godox AD200 200Ws 2.4G TTL Flash Strobe 1/8000 HSS Cordless Monolight with 2900mAh Lithimu Battery and Bare Bulb/Speedlite Fresnel Flash Head to Cover 500 Full Power Shots and Recycle in 0.01-2.1 Sec

Comes in a nifty bag and is bright enough to take on the sunsets I enjoy shooting with. I haven’t had much use yet but the last 3 weddings I’ve used it on it worked as it should and worked well.It’s small enough to bring along anywhere and with a decent light stand is very stable. I’m using a bigger 9’ stand so I can mount it on the godox bowens mount adapter. I use the mount so I can pair the flash with the 40” parabolic softbox.Recycle time is fast. Quality of light is great. Wireless capability is great with the Xt2 transmitter. High speed sync was flawless.Overall this is great flash for when you want to do a few creative shots keeping that sky exposed and the subject lit perfectly.

I've used Godox for years, and always found their units dependable. The AD200 is so versatile, and easy to combine with a second unit. I've almost completely stopped using speed lights, and rarely use studio lights now. I have 4 of these AD200s, and I rarely need anything else.The lithium cells can many hours. Even on a long shoot (9 hours) the batteries kept up the entire day. These are now my go-to strobes.I also have gotten several of the optional heads, which make a big difference in flexibility for lighting options. The speed light head is great, and works nicely with barn doors for accent, but I use the flash tube most often, in a softbox. The mini-softbox head is also good for a separator. Just can't say enough about how versatile this system is.Hey Godox, if you're paying attention to this, good job!

This has been a truly invaluable addition to my portable lighting setup. I can't really oversell this light; the fact that it provides ~500 full power shots per charge, has super fast recycle times, and provides the flexibility of both a bare bulb and high output flash head in one compact body is pretty spectacular. That it does all those things with an internal li-ion battery for $300 is nothing short of astounding. Likewise, its ability to provide high speed sync (HSS) has made it so easy to get good-looking wide open aperture shots with flash during full daylight. (It really is quite feature rich.)In any case, I've been very pleased using this light. My first outing with it was actually for a prom photo booth; I mixed this light with another lower-output flash for some easy dramatic lighting (30 inch beauty dish with shower cap diffuser) and it performed like a champ for well over 300 shots without the battery indicator even dipping. Granted, shots ranged from 1/16 to 1/4 power, but I've also used it for outdoor shooting at 1/1 and the battery life is still pretty robust; I haven't yet pushed it to 500 full power shots, but it doesn't sound at all far fetched given what I've experienced thus far. Additionally, the lack of battery cables and the more compact form factor (vs. something like the older Godox AD180/360) make this light a dream to set up. One small gripe I have (and it's very small) is that its thickness makes it a bit of a squeeze to get this light into a Bowens mount. That said, it does fit, just with a little more finessing than I'd like.Overall, there's not much to complain about. The overwhelmingly positive reviews on YouTube for this light totally make sense, and every location portrait photographer should be pleased with the capability and performance this flash offers.Now if Godox could just provide a flash trigger with HSS support that works for Fuji and Olympus so I could stop jerry-rigging trigger solutions I'd really be psyched!

Love my new flash, purchased it to replace my canon 600EX flash as my main softbox flash when I do outdoor photo sessions, I highly recommend this flash if it is your first Godox flash, although I could have purchased an AD200 Pro, I did not feel the small upgrades were worth the big price jump. I am happy with this flash as my starter flash and perhaps my next flash will be the AD200 Pro to use as the main flash and the AD200 as a hair light or secondary flash.Contrary to what I have used in the past during photo sessions and what I know about strobe flashes and steady bare bulb light setups, this Godox flash has a model light, but it is not used with the bare bulb as I am used to, instead, the strobe flash uses the model light and not the bare bulb, not a deal-breaker but something different I was not expecting as all the bare bulb flashes I've used for wedding photography in the past had an integrated model light filament surrounding the flash filament of the bare bulb.One thing that is not advertised that I was pleasantly surprised is that it has a treaded external connector for a trigger on the side, meaning, although it is recommended you purchase a Godox trigger for your camera to sync directly to the AD200, I purchased the Godox XPro-C E-TTL so I can control everything directly from the trigger on the camera without messing with the menus of the flash, you can use your own triggers like a pocket wizard or in my case a Yongnuo 622C TTL Flash Trigger I was using previously with my studio flashes when doing indoor photo sessions and my 600Ex when I did outdoor sessions, if you already have triggers for other flashes, it is easy to integrate and use those flashes in conjunction with the AD200 if you wanted, albeit without the control you would have with a Godox trigger.Highly recommend this flash!
