Yes, it has s1 and s2 optical slave modes.
I use it on a regular basis in the Amsterdam area, where the humidity is also high, and I have had no problems.

The light is fantastic. Since getting this flash, I haven't used my AD600. My assistants adore it because it's much more compact, and I've equipped it with the Magmod system, which is extremely useful.
Many professionals use this to provide off-camera flash in order to solve a variety of lighting problems. The AD200 was about 15 feet away and about 3 feet to camera right in the attached image, which was taken in bright sunlight. I was about 10 feet away from the other members of the group. The flash was set to full power, and the exposure was set to 180 seconds at F 4. ISO 100 / 0 / 0 / 0 / 0 / The lens is a 24-mm zoom. At 45mm, I used a 105mm lens. On the camera, I used a GODOX remote transmitter. .
This is a fantastic portable strobe for real estate photography. The Nicephoto Nflash 680 is what I have. It also works well, but it's a bit bulky and doesn't communicate directly with my Godox flash triggers, the R2 and XT32. This is one of them. br>br>Now for the fun part: On my Sony a6000, I use the R2 trigger at 1/128th shutter speed. An XT32 trigger is also in my possession. Now, I use the XT32 to adjust the power and then remotely trigger the camera (via the WIFI app or wirelessly with a wireless trigger). instead of the R2 trigger on the camera being set at 1/128th, this flash will fire at 1/128th. The flash turns off at the last setting I called up with the XT32 trigger I keep in my pocket. br>br>This means I can set up the camera in a corner of a room, walk into the next room that needs to be flashed further back in the scene, adjust the power of the flash on the fly wirelessly away from the camera, and trigger the whole thing, with the flash output remaining the same as when I arrived at my hiding spot around the corner. br>br>Also, if you double-check your work, you can get a better result. When you press the XT32's center button, the "group" you're controlling with that trigger will be turned off. So, if this ad200 flash is set to "Group A" and I'm using the XT32 to control Group A. I just need to double-check everything. To turn off the ad200, press the center button. What is the benefit of this? br>br> In my business, I use a Photoshop composite blend workflow that combines flash and ambient lighting. Basically, I take a flash photo and an all-black image. So I'm constantly turning my ad200 on and off as I switch from taking the flashed shot to taking the ambient shot, and then layering and blending them together in post to taste. In a way that I couldn't do with my larger Nflash, this entire setup allows me to do so seamlessly. So yeah. I'm really enjoying this new gadget.
I was immediately enamored with it! When I was shooting with an Octobox in February, the tiniest breeze blew it over and it landed on the flash gun's led screen side (back) and broke it. I'm talking about completely bankrupt. My heart sank as the led screen went black. It was fortunate that it occurred at the conclusion of a session. So I brought it home and tossed it on my desk, promising myself that I would try to find replacement parts for the broken piece, but no such luck. Then my wonderful child, who had purchased the spills and falls protection plan for me as a gift, informed me that she had done so. DUDE! I filed a claim, and about three weeks later, I received an email saying that a technician had checked the product and determined that it was unrepairable, so they sent me a gift card in the amount of the product; I logged on, found a new one, entered the gift card number, and less than 24 hours later, wham bam, I hear a knock at the door, and voila! It's the AD200, my brand-new toy! br>br>Spend a few dollars more and get the protection plan!.
This product completely destroys the competition. It has the right amount of power for most applications, as well as a lot of great modifiers and is very reasonably priced. So small and light, with a battery that can last for hundreds of pops when used fully. HSS is supported, and it's a true cross-brand flash! All major flash systems can be used with the same light. Nikon, Fujifilm, Sony, Olympus/Panasonic, and Canon are among the most popular cameras on the market. You go out and buy the appropriate controller, and then you start shooting! Smart.
After researching and learning about all of the strobe flashes available, I decided that this one was the best fit for my needs and budget as a beginning professional photographer. br>I've used it on two photo shoots now and have yet to find any flaws. When shooting outdoors in direct sunlight, many people wonder if it can "defeat" the sun. I'd say yes, but I've only done it at sunset and not in the middle of the day. Its 200 watts and 1/1 maximum power setting have proven to work well in low or setting sun conditions. It makes for great lighting when combined with a proper defuse system, such as a 47" OctoBox! It worked flawlessly with both the Godox trigger system and Pocket Wizards. br>br>I've attached some examples of my work. HSS and TTL were used to create the portraits. Manual mode was used to take the photo of the car.
