I can't help but give this a 5 star even tho I have ever so slightly mixed feeling about integrating it into my kit at this point! I am a full time pro & have been for many years & love using flash. I have at least 4 other godox speed lights in my kit bag (all standard 'regular' rectangle ones) & have been super excited to try this one!
Its really well made- as all the godox equipment I have used is, its consistent- both in output & colour (certainly to the eye & looking on computer after- not a scientific measurement!) & the fact it has an LED light built in adds an extra bonus. Its actually a very useful feature- even just for some light on those dark shoots to guide everyone or to assist autofocus. Its actually bright enough to use inside to light a portrait shoot! As with previous models it used a lithium-ion battery so goodbye to AA's (woohoo!!)
So why my mixed feelings? Well as I said I have lots of other speed lights & the AD200's too. The previous speed lights all share the same battery (& charger!), modifiers, brackets & actually, pretty much have the same or similar layout/ buttons. This is my slight annoyance & it really is only because I have lots of other older flash that its even a 'problem' It just means extra batteries & modifiers etc to carry until the day comes I upgrade the rest of them. I do have the AD200's too & love the look of the round head & modifiers that fit those too so they will all integrate eventually.
So to summarise- if you are looking for a new flash or to change systems would I recommend this flash? Yes- definitely & you can easily expand & grow into all the other, more powerful godox flash that all integrate & work superbly together. If you are just adding it to an already heavy arsenal of godox speedlights just be aware of the differences with battery & modifiers. Having the LED light built in may swing you regardless! I know I’ll be adding more to
My kit in the coming years!
