Before buying this, I was a little hesitant, assuming that a cheap (relatively) Chinese flash wouldn't cut it. My assumptions were incorrect. This flash is strong, recharges quickly, and simply works. The included battery is excellent, and the accessories are extremely helpful. If I had to criticize it, I'd say it's a little heavy, but I can't think of anything else; it recycles quickly, works reliably, and has proven to be invaluable during outdoor portrait sessions when trying to overpower the sun. In the worst conditions, it still doesn't completely block out the sun, but everything else is lovely.

I primarily photograph landscapes, but I also photograph portraits outside. In many daylight situations, a standard speedlight isn't going to cut it. The AD200 performs admirably in this regard. It's fantastic to shoot at f1 at 1/8000th of a second. Because you can buy an accessory to add a second AD200 to make it one bright light, or split them up and synch them together, this system is very flexible and adds a lot of value to my kit. I'm not interested in lugging around bulky lights. I'm planning on taking this (which is slightly larger than a speedlight), as well as a compact stand and a compact softbox, to Italy to shoot some portraits. It's great to get professional results with such a small, low-cost light.

Although it is not powerful enough to overpower the sun, it works wonders in the shade and for indoor location shots.

Everything is subject to change. In the future, I plan to purchase more Godox lights.

This flash is powerful, portable, and adaptable to a variety of brands. The accessories are fantastic, particularly the extension cable, which allows you to carry the unit in a waistpack while only using the flash tube on the camera or a bracket. There are three of them in my possession. br>br>Here's where it gets tricky. The on- One of mine's off switches broke, making it a paperweight until it could be fixed. This appears to be a common occurrence, and there are several excellent YouTube videos on how to open and repair it once it stops working. If you don't want to operate on your unit, the simplest solution is to leave the switch on all the time and remove the battery when you need to turn it off. The weak switch is saved from failing in a way that disables your flash at a critical time by removing the battery, which is a shame because the product is otherwise one of the best photo equipment purchases you can make.

This ad200 is one of my favorites because it is so portable. It doesn't have as much power as a Studio strobe, but it's plenty for the job. The high-speed sync is fantastic; it's far more powerful than my Speedlight, and the battery life is incredible; I've never run out of it in a single shoot. It's incredibly simple to set up and use, and it works perfectly. Definitely one of my favorites. to lighting for the set.

5 months. In April of this year, I bought my AD200. It arrived on April 26th and has been in operation for three months. 5 months. The on/off power switch started to fail last week, and I noticed it. It took a few turns off and on to make contact at first, but after a few days, the problem worsened. It is currently not only failing to turn in, but it is also losing contact even after it has been placed in the in position. I reached out to the manufacturer, who directed me to @CONXTRUE, the seller. I contacted them after finding their contact information on Amazon and inquired about how to resolve the issue. Instead of providing me with information on how to repair or replace the unit, they asked for photos and additional information. According to what I've read, this is a very common problem with this unit, and it should be high on their list of known issues. I sent them a follow-up email on Friday morning, and I have yet to receive a response as of Sunday morning. (Perhaps their crew isn't available on weekends. ) I don't have time to deal with back-and-forth with the distributor because this equipment is critical to my job. If you need a flash and can't afford downtime, I recommend purchasing this product with a reliable backup in case it fails, which it will. When it comes to the Flash, it performs admirably for my needs. I now have to decide whether I should give this flash another chance or find a similar flash and replace it with one that is more reliable.
