Flash duration: Bare Bulb Flash Head - 1/220 to 1/11300.Flash duration: Speedlight Flash Head - 1/220 to 1/13000.Color temperature: 5600K (+/- 200K) - Daylight.Godox has a myriad of available accessories available, everything from gels, snoots and barn doors, for virtually any lighting scenario possible. I’ll also place it on a lightstand or light pole and my assistant can aim the flash where we need it. I’ll trigger it with the V1 - this way I can aim and place the light exactly where I want it. In my real estate work, I use the AD200 with my Nikon D750 off -camera and handheld.

Instead it has to be trigged by optical slave, a compatible Godox speedlight or a Godox flash trigger. Unlike a speedlight, however, the AD200 doesn’t have a hot shoe mount. The AD200 is cross compatible with virtually every camera system and there’s a trigger for every major camera brand - be it micro four-thirds, Sony, Canon, Nikon, Fuji and even Pentax. What’s also great about the AD200 is the entire Godox ecosystem of triggers and flashes. Here we bounced a bare AD200 on the wall behind the camera to fill the room with light and soften the light on the subject's face.

Power ranges from 1/128 all the way to full power 1/1 - a total of eight stops of range. I attach mine to MagMod’s MagBox softbox when I’m shooting portraits, or if I need to be creative, I’ll attach a snoot to really focus the light. These range from the included bare bulb flash to a wired extension as well as a round head - similar to the Godox V1.Īdditionally, Godox has a Bowens mount accessory which opens the door to hundreds of light modifiers. Unlike traditional speedlights, the AD200 has a unique party trick - the front flash head can come off and is interchangeable with other accessories. The battery is lithium and large, capable of producing an awesome 500 full power flashes! On the downside, the on/off switch is oddly placed and can be difficult to see/find in dark environments as it blends into the body … it’s almost camouflaged.

There is a USB port for firmware updates and a 3.5mm PC sync connector if you want to use the AD200 wired to your camera. The LCD control panel on the back of the body is rather rudimentary, but it’s also clear and obvious. On the side and on the bottom there are female 1/4” 20 mounting holes for when you want to set up the AD200 off camera on a stand. The AD200 is only slightly longer than a regular speedlight and only weighs a couple of ounces more, yet it's still small enough to fit in your pocket.
