Questions & Answers
Yes, I believe it will work.
That's what I do with this one. The Godox AD200 Pro is a high-end digital camera.
That's correct. br>While there are no protrusions on the bare bulb head to screw this cap to, there is a screw on the bare bulb head that can/must be used to tighten this cap in place, and it then goes nowhere. br>br>I saw a friend use it that way on the AD200, and I must say it was securely fastened. To test it, I shook and waved (the bare bulb head with the cap screwed on it) to see if it would come loose, but the cap stayed on the bare bulb.

I ordered this protective cover along with the dome modifier because the attachment piece that goes into the base looks nearly identical at first glance, but the dome fit perfectly and the protective cap required some force (and I didn't want to damage the rubber retention piece). br>br>When I compared the two, I discovered that the dome attachment has a chamfer around the mount's seat. This is not the case with the cover. So, to fix it, I simply took a rough surface and rolled the corner of the protector back and forth over it until the hard angle was removed. (Because the metal is so weak, I believe anything abrasive would suffice. ) ) In particular, I used a Smith's 2-in-1. a two-sided diamond knife sharpener on the coarse side. br>br>Once I chamfered the cover's edge, it began to slide in much more easily. You can do it on one side only, but I did it on both so I wouldn't have to think about it if I was distracted or in the dark. This version of the light has the two screws on the opposite sides from the rubber retention piece, so this protector will lock in place with a slight twist. br>br>I haven't dropped it, and I have no plans to test it, but I am fairly confident that it will protect the bulb. A tumble will most likely break the light's body, not the bulb, so if that unfortunate event occurs, you might be able to find a used replacement for the body while still having a working bare bulb head.
Unfortunately, the diameter of this cover was just a hair too large for my AD200's bare bulb head. I returned the cover and intend to purchase it elsewhere. Only one star because of the time it took to get there.
On the AD200, it's way too long. Apart from taking up more space than necessary for travel and storage, this isn't much of a problem. It also doesn't seem to secure the AD200 as well as you'd hope. It's not like it "clicks" into place. It just sort of hangs there, so if you have the AD200 loose in a bag, it could fall off. If it's in a case with foam to keep it still, it won't be an issue.
I had some difficulty getting it on at first because the bulb holder pad gets in the way because it is such a precision/tight fit, but I discovered that if I rotate the protector cover clockwise when lowering it into the holder, it pushes the pad out of the way and slides in easily. This product comes highly recommended by me.
I was hesitant to purchase this item because all of the reviews stated that it would not fit the AD200 Pro. br>It fits perfectly; you don't need to apply much pressure; it's just a regular, comfortable "non-slip" fit. "Wobbly" is a good word to describe the fit. Just remember to let go of the tightening knob when you're finished. The cover does not need to be altered in any way - It's simple and effective.
The metal, lightweight tube used to cover the bare bulb in the AD200 bulb light unit is one of my favorites. When used in the bulb AD200 unit, the metal tube fits snugly over the glass tube. To store the bulb, I simply leave it connected to the unit and cover it with the tube. The metal quickly dissipates the heat and protects other equipment from melting if it comes into contact with the hot bulb (which is unlikely). It's a nice to have accessory.
The straight rim of the flash head would catch on the rubber inside the bare bulb. The Wistro Wide Angle Diffuser has a bevel on the outside of the tube for a better fit, which I noticed. I used a metal nail file to file a bevel on the outside of the protector tube, and it now works perfectly!.
My old Sunpac J120 flash is compatible with this. It appears to be designed for more recent similar modern bare bulb type flashes, but fortunately for me, it works on my old Sunpac. It appeals to my tastes. It gets the job done.
