The AD200 Pro II is a 200w functional powerhouse for a reasonably compact flash. It¡¯s not pocketable but it is easy to transport in or out of its protective case. The battery life is good; it would be more useful if it could charge quicker. You are going to need some kind of release for the flash as one isn¡¯t included; be it a cable or wireless release.
The strobe¡¯s modularity means it can grow with your photography needs as Godox offers several accessories for it allowing you to switch to a macro ring light, work with soft boxes or barn doors, snoots or get faster refresh rates with the external battery pack.
The Godox AD200Pro II is a powerful 200w strobe, though it¡¯s not exactly pocket-sized. Weighing in at 923 grams, it requires a sturdy bag for transport ¨C which is lucky as it ships in one. While it¡¯s not designed for direct camera-mount, it comes with a light stand adapter and accepts a tripod plate.
Controlling the AD200Pro II is straightforward though you will need to get a release as you don¡¯t get one included. You Can use a TTL cable or a wireless trigger; I used a Godox release. The unit features a bright color screen for adjusting settings which is made easy thanks to the rotating menu wheel. You can easily switch modes and in manual adjust the power output (up to 200 watts), strobing intervals.
The kit includes two interchangeable heads: a reflector head for directional light and an open head for wider coverage. Both offer a bright modeling light. While the open head is versatile, it is really design to be used with a light modifier like a softbox use (for which you will need an adaptor to mount it.)
The AD200Pro II supports a range of flash features, including HSS, TTL, and first/second curtain sync. It offers impressive strobing capabilities, allowing for multiple flashes at high speeds. The battery pack delivers solid performance, but charging times can be lengthy.
Overall, the Godox AD200Pro II is a robust and versatile flash. Its modular design, powerful output, and extensive feature set make it a great choice for photographers seeking a portable lighting solution.
