Godox AD400Pro All-in-One Outdoor Flash Strobe, 400W 2.4G TTL Portable Speedlite with Battery and AC/DC Powered with Bowens Mount and Godox Mount

I've sold all of my other lights and am now completely dedicated to Godox. I already owned a couple of AD600s before purchasing the AD400 Pro. I had a vague idea of what to expect, but I didn't know for sure. The photos I posted here don't do the 400 justice because it's so much smaller and lighter than the 600. The power is obviously not the same, but it's still awe-inspiring, and the modeling lamp is nearly blinding as well. I've also used them as video lights. I really like how I can control everything from the Xpro remote, including the 600, 200, and Godox speedlites. It's a lot less difficult now! br>br>During one of my editorial shoots, I took a bts shot. I mounted the AD400Pro with a Bowens mount adapter and an octabox on top of it. The power of this small creature astounded me. It also stood up to the weight of my large Bowens mount light modifiers. The only drawback is that it takes a long time to put the Bowens mount adapter on and off, and you can't use the reflector/bulb protector while it's on. I did, however, come up with a solution that I am very proud of. If I'm using Bowens mount modifiers, I simply attach the adapter and cover it with one of the AD600Pro reflectors/bulb protectors. It's a cinch to use. Take a look at the photos to see what I mean. Overall, this is a brilliant lighting system that is unbeatable for the price! To complete my collection, I'll be purchasing a few more of these.

br> br>There are a lot of customization options. br>The construction is solid. br>I'm not sure why anyone would pay such a high price for a ProFoto when the results are so similar. Yes, ProFoto is superior, but not at a cost of $1,000. A cooler screen is provided by the ProFotos. It's easier to control, and it's a little lighter. When the photo results are the same, why not buy THREE OR FOUR OF THESE rather than ONE ProFoto?
CONS: br>This bad boy is a tad on the heavy side. It's not bad until you've been holding it over your head for a while; if you use stands, it's not a problem. My assistant claimed that she was in desperate need of a good arm workout. br>At this price, you're getting a great deal. The weight doesn't bother me. In a nutshell: br>br> br>Great lightbr>Great control optionsbr>HSSbr>Works great with Godox system (and without it as well)br>A little heavybr>.

I also do lifestyle photography and headshots. The color accuracy is excellent for skin, and the power is sufficient for outdoor shooting. This version is more expensive than the non-TL versions. If you're doing headshots or outdoor lifestyle photography, the pro series with TTL is a must-have. The TTL function is useful but not required if you shoot mostly interiors and static subjects. It comes with a very nice case that protects your flash. To be honest, the power isn't all that different from the 600, but the travel-friendly size is fantastic. This purchase has made me very happy:.

mount lighting modifiers, and I noticed the AD400Pro accepted Bowens mounts. . . for those times when you need a lot of light on location, it looked like the perfect solution – 400 watts of power. seconds, less than 5 lbs (including battery), and controllable from my Godox flash controller (allowing me to use it with my AD200s and speedlights seamlessly). br>br>I took it out in the desert to photograph some sunsets, and it worked perfectly with my Cheetahstand 26" Quick SoupBowl. When the sun was still shining brightly, there was plenty of power, even at 15-degrees Celsius. As the sun set, I moved back 20 feet and dialed it down. The new location setup (2 Canon 600 EX-2) has a much faster recycle time than the old location setup (2 Canon 600 EX-2). RTs in a Westcott Rapidbox Duo that's up for auction this week! ))br>br>Once the sun had set, I decided to try it out in a studio setting, using the AD400Pro as the key light (with a 42" QSB round softbox), an Eyelighter reflector, and a flash as a kicker. . . it worked out beautifully. Isn't it true that I didn't mention the modeling light? Yes, it's just like my regular moonlights. . . but having 1/3 stop control over the light from 1/128 to 1/1 power, as well as the ability to run for two shoots on a single charge (and ready for more), has me considering retiring my old moonlight strobes – no more power cords to trip over! Those are also likely to end up on eBay in the near future! )br>br>So, for both indoor and outdoor shoots, one light to rule them all? It's tough to beat the AD400Pro, so get one (or three).

Let me start by saying that this light is incredible. Because it packs 400 watts of power into a small package, it's my go-to location key light. It's bright enough to let me outshine the sun in most situations, but it can also be dimmed for a more intimate glow. The mount system was one of my favorite features of this light. It comes equipped with a reflector and a magnetic mount for future attachments, as well as a standard bowens mount that fits all of my softboxes and octoboxes. It's light enough to fit on my boom stand without the need for a lot of counterweights. The LED modeling light, however, is by far my favorite feature of this light. I had forgotten how useful a powerful modeling light is for locking focus at night. The only real flaw I see with the light is that it requires a screwdriver to install the switch mounts. I'd prefer a tooless design, but at the very least it can be changed out with standard allen keys. br>br>Overall, it's a fantastic light for the price, and it's already earned a place in my kit.
