If you are mounting AD200's on a light stand. Then my strong advice is to either have someone hold it or use a weight like a sandbag to stop the stand from toppling over.
Versatile Compatibility Ecosystem】Built-in 2.4G Wireless X System to offer stable output, allow AD200 communicate with Godox products with 2.4G X System such as godox speedlight, Strobe, and triggers X1, X2, Xpro(Please select the specific model for your camera such as the Xpro-c trigger for canon camera); Fully Supports Nikon i-TTL, Canon E-TTL, Sony TTL, Olympus Panasonic Fuji TTL and Pentax TTL. What people generally mean is. Can the Godox AD200 overpower the sun on a REALLY sunny day at a certain distance? Again, it all depends on how far you are away and how bright the sun is. At high noon on a summer’s day? You could struggle, even if you're a 3-4 meters away. Sunset with the golden sunlight then you should be fine. But you would have problems if you wanted to light them up from across the lake. I often use this combination for group photos and wedding portraits (time permitting) and corporate headshots. I no longer take the bare bulb head out to weddings with me. The only times I’ve used it in the last two years were for commercial headshots where I can put the barebulb head into a softbox. And more recently for a destination wedding where I opted to take the AD-S7 softbox due to its small, portable size.So if you still wondering if you should buy the Godox AD200 for weddings then I would have to say without any hesitation. YES! Absolutely! In fact don't just buy one, buy two! A Small favour..... The WB29 battery is charged using a supplied mains charger. Battery life is excellent and I’ve yet to run out of power during a wedding. That said, I have turned up a couple of times to weddings with only one bar left after forgetting to charge them up! It’s hard to think that my original Godox AD200 review is already three years old. So I thought it was about time update my review and let you know how my experience has been. Have my feelings changed over time? Has the AD200 stood up to the demands of professional use?
Top of the list for me was Magmod. Suddenly I could use their innovative lighting solutions and still pump out much more power than a single speedlight. But more on this later! If you do find yourself often in these situations at a wedding then you may want to consider a more powerful flash. Godox have released a range of strobes with more power. From the AD300 right the way to the upcoming retina burning AD1200! More powerful flashes will give you the option to use larger light modifiers to help you project softer light for better results. For me the most exciting change was really the flash holder/umbrella mount. That says a lot really! Godox have added a couple of small holes in the chassis which the flash holder now fits into when tightened up. The flash will no longer accidentally come loose and rotate around like with the non-pro version. This is a big improvement and had this been on the original AD200, I would have never have bought the Magshoe’s! The on/off switch at the side has been changed. The original AD200 switch was not easy to find if you don't know what you are looking for. I've had assistants who have never used the AD200 be unable to find it. The Pro switch feels a bit better and more obvious. It's a small improvement but hardly groundbreaking. As I said, I’m not going to ramble on about specs but for a review, it does make sense to at least list the most important features: PowerThe photo above was taken just before sunset with a single Godox AD200 using the Magmod & Maggrid/Magsphere from camera left. And single AD200 behind the bride & groom with fresnel head, no modifier. Thanks to Profoto’s marketing campaign. There has been a rush to release round head flashes due to the ‘better’ lighting pattern. In practice it’s not a biggie unless you like to fire flash unmodified directly at your subjects. Using this head, the quality of light is indeed better compared to bare Fresnel head. The downside is you lose a bit of power. For weddings, I simply don't use it. Godox EC200 - Extender cable For portraits, my favourite combination is to modify the fresnel flash head with the Maggrid and magsphere. I do realise this will not give me the kind of soft light a large softbox would. But as I have said before, weddings are often a compromise between speed and portability. Taking wedding photos in the middle of a sunny day is something I avoid if at all possible. The sun is just not very flattering to your subjects. Plus trying to overpower the sun means using a lot of power. Abundant and Useful Functions】Godox AD200 has 8 stops of power adjustment (1/1 to 1.128) to offer full control of the light on your scene and giving you better lighting effects. Fully supported FEC, 1/8000s HSS, first/second curtain sync, modelling lamp, Manual flash, Support firmware update; Use Godox 2.4G wireless X system to achieve TTL; Control or use Godox TTL wireless flash trigger to control TTL functions wirelessly, adjust flash's power levels.
