Questions & Answers
Here's how I went about it: To keep the unit in place, get a type S bracket with a Bowens mount built in. You can get a matched set of reflectors to honeycombs once you have the standard Bowens mount; they usually come in standard sizes. Honeycombs tend to get jacked up when traveling free in a bag, so I recommend putting them in a protective storage box.
Yes, the Godox S2 Speedlite Bracket for Bowens ($25 at B&H) is required if the Westcott Softbox has a Bowens mount. The AD200Pro fits into the bracket and is then mounted on the softbox, and it works perfectly. The AD200Pro and bracket, as well as all other Godox gear, particularly the X1 radio transceivers, come highly recommended.
If you purchase Godox, you will have to ship it to China for service, which will take a long time.

Excellent in terms of size, output, and adaptability. I own both the standard and PRO versions of the AD200, and I prefer the PRO's indexed mounting system to the standard version's simple 1/4-inch mounting system. There are twenty attachments. 1/4 - inch screws secure the PRO to the provided mounting bracket. 20 as well, but the bracket has two small nubs that lock into the strobe's body, preventing the strobe from slipping off the bracket. It's great to use the bare bulb head in a reflector or soft box, but it's also great to use it alone. The Fresnel head is exactly what it says it is: a rectangular flash head with a dim, cold LED modeling light, similar to a speedlight. It can't be used as a modeling light, but it can help you see in a dimly lit environment. I only mention my disappointment with the modeling light because I have the V1 speedlight and was very impressed with the LED on that unit. While I don't use it very often and would have been perfectly happy with the V1 without a modeling light, I did expect the AD200 Fresnel head to provide a similar quality of light. Perhaps this will be addressed in subsequent revisions. Enough with the modeling light; if you're looking to buy an AD200 PRO, you're probably more concerned with the amount of light it produces and its portability. These tiny units are incredible in terms of size, portability, and communication with the V1 speedlight or one of the Godox triggers. It's extremely convenient to be able to control the AD200 PRO using the Godox flash you already have on your camera. The light output is consistent, precise, and clear, making it suitable for a wide range of applications. The accessories I've used have a high quality feel to them and perform admirably. You can't go wrong with getting a few of these!.
For a speedlite that's roughly the same size as my Canon EX600rt and EX580s, this one packs a lot more punch, recycles much faster, and has a much longer battery life thanks to its Lithium-Ion battery. Ion battery, as well as multiple head/light options, allow me to use it with a variety of modifiers to get the most out of this ultra-portable light. It has provided fantastic consistent color and triggering in either manual or TTL mode so far (after only a month). br>For the past 5 years, my flash on location solution has been Canon speedlites with PocketWizard triggers (FlexTTL5/6) which has served me well, but the Godox solution is simpler with a significant increase in number of flashes (the AD200's battery seems to last forever) and recycle time between flashes (much faster than the Canon). br>I'm very pleased with it and have no plans to change.
I already had the first model and wanted a second for more lighting options. So, of course, I went with the pro version this time, and I'm very happy with it. It's supposed to be more color accurate, but I haven't noticed any significant differences. It is powered by the same battery as the original. A soft box and an S bracket are usually used in conjunction with it. Alternatively, you can use the extension cord as a speed light by attaching it to a camera strobe bracket.
This strobe is absolutely incredible. It comes with multiple head options and can be used free standing, on a light stand, with a light box, and with a light box. The battery lasts a long time, and when used in conjunction with the optional on-camera trigger, it becomes extremely versatile and powerful. You can toss two of these in your camera bag and have super high quality lighting on the go. br>br>Great for portraits and use at wedding receptions where you don't want to drag around large lighting setups. br>br>Round head attachment and gels are available, making it even more versatile.
To photograph real estate interiors, I use this strobe in combination with an Explor 600. When my small Godox strobe isn't enough, but the 600 is too much, it's great. The only drawback is that it does not come with an attachable stand for use on flat surfaces. Even so, it's a fantastic portable flash. Battery life is extremely long.
I'm a professional photographer, and the only issue I have with it is that it has misfired a couple of times. I did notice a video that couldn't be streamed over the internet. Because it uses a similar Wi-Fi protocol, Fi channel could be to blame. Signal from the Wi-Fi router However, it appeals to me. My work has improved since I started it.
Extremely lightweight and simple to operate. The battery life is extremely impressive. I bought two of them and am very pleased with them.
