This having been said, the AD100 Pro isn’t the most powerful of lights, in fact, it is the least powerful of the AD range, meaning that it may not be what every photographer needs! If you require more power from your flash or need a burst of light to overpower the sun, this isn’t the flash for you! The remotes for both flashes are pretty similar aside from one major missing feature on Profoto's. The Godox XPro remote shows the output of the flash on the remote, while the Profoto doesn't. You can still control the power output up or down, but the remote itself doesn't display what the power output will be. Fully Supports TTL auto flash, Flash Exposure Compensation, First Curtain Sync, Second Curtain Sync, Manual Flash, Multi Flash, etc. BUILT-IN GODOX 2.4G WIRELESS SYSTEM:
I love that the AD400 Pro comes in its own case, even if it is precut foam. Many previous models of Godox light didn’t, including the AD600 Pro, unless you bought it from Adorama. The AD200 also comes in a similar, but obviously smaller, case, also with precut foam. But I do wish with this one, that there wasn’t so much wasted space inside it. If the Profoto B10 cost a few hundred dollars more than the AD400, I think it could be easily justifiable, even to photography enthusiasts, but it doesn't. As a speedlight shooter getting into strobes, the weight of the AD-B2, two AD200s, and a larger octobox (mine is a 48") is taking some time getting used to. However, the ability to overpower the late afternoon sun, as well as being able to use larger light difusers is nice. You will not be able to mount this system on a lightweight light stand. I got a heavy duty boom stand and I a glad I did. However, Godox learned from the AD200 and what they learned they applied to the Pro. On the AD200 Pro they improved the recycle time from 0.01-2.1s to 0.01 to 1.8s, as well as offering a greater choice of power ranges (1/256-1/1 in 1/10th stop increments instead of 1/128-1/1 in 8 stops). They also improved upon the design of the flash by adding a sunken LCD screen to the unit which protects the screen against damage in the case of being dropped or blown over. As I mentioned, the AD400 Pro essentially offers the same features as the AD600 Pro with the new firmware, but with a little less power. One of the features recently added to the AD600 Pro in this firmware was 1/10th stop adjustment options.To learn more about the difference between these two flashes, as well as the pros and cons of this flash, read our AD200 vs AD200 Pro comparison blog. Shot on the Pentax K1 and SMC M 35-70mm f4 lens at 1/1000 (the first three) and 1/320 (far right) at f/4, ISO200 – Lex’s photos. The design and construction of the carry bag itself is sturdy, and the componentry fits snugly and securely into the pre-cut foam inserts. Some signals only available with an RS-485 connection. Consult the AD-400 data sheet and your access control software provider for specific scope of support. Once reassembled you’ll have a strobe that can take the weight of your biggest modifier, and the handle will still have more room to tighten without the fear of snapping it off and ruining your photoshoot!
This similarity in power seems about right to me. When I compared the AD600 Pro to the AD600BM a few months, I did see about a 1/2 to 2/3 of a stop increase on the AD600 Pro when using the same modifiers. And the AD400 Pro is about 1/2 to 2/3 of a stop less powerful than the AD600 Pro. ProsThe Profoto B10 is a better flash by a small margin in the most important tests, but in some categories, the Godox was the clear winner. The fact that the AD400 can be outfitted to accept modifiers from four different brands makes it extremely versatile. Perhaps the most impressive feature was the Godox remote that had a similar range, more features, and was 20 percent of the cost of Profoto's remote. This ability to overpower the sun comes from the massive 600Ws of power that this light can produce. This light has a power range of 1/256-1/1 in 10 increments, a recycling time of 0.01-0.9s, as well as sporting TTL and HSS capabilities. When we initially set out that day to test the XPro-P trigger, we hadn’t planned to have the AD400 Pro audition for us at the same time. We had originally hoped to use the AD200, but we ended up not doing. The reasons why we didn’t use the AD200 will be explained in the XPro-P review in a few days, but it forced us to use the AD400 Pro. There is a lot to take from this test, but our overall conclusion is that the Profoto B10 and the Godox AD400 produce the exact same exposure at full power, but the B10 does give you 1.36 stops more stops over the entire range of the strobe. Obviously, this is happening at the lowest power levels of the flash, but that could be useful depending on what type of flash photography you are doing. The other major conclusion it leaves us with is that unless the newer Profoto B1X is a stop more powerful than the older B1, there really isn't any reason to buy the older Profoto B1 over the new B10.
