This is a big improvement and had this been on the original AD200, I would have never have bought the Magshoe’s! It brings new possibilities for experimentation, experience, and improvement to the AD200Pro system. Indoors, I use them to light speeches, first dances and occasionally if the situation demands, wedding ceremonies. Delivering light directly from the stick flash without any diffusion, the AD-S200 brings out vivid colors, clear textile, and intricate details in photography, elevating your work to a whole new level. Suffice to say it pretty much has all the features you'd expect from a modern flash and some you'll probably never use.

The EC200 is an extension cable which allows you to mount the detachable head on top of a light stand and the head unit at the bottom. I know some leading wedding photographers have used that to justify using Profoto B10's but for all the other reasons listed above and factoring the cost. With the AD200, I could shoot at say 1/32 and have almost unlimited flashes whereas on the speedlight I'd have to wait for the battery to recycle. I remember thinking “This looks like the perfect flash for wedding photography” In my first review I concluded that it was the best flash you never knew you needed. The only gripe I have about them is that sometimes you get misfires in situations where you shouldn’t.Handing them an AD200 to hold is far less daunting for them than giving them a giant softbox on a pole.

I often use this combination for group photos and wedding portraits (time permitting) and corporate headshots. The premium handle of the AD-S200 is well-designed for comfortable handheld use during on location shots.

Equipped with rechargeable, long-life Lithium battery; with interchangeable flash head, it offersv arious light effects. That said, I have turned up a couple of times to weddings with only one bar left after forgetting to charge them up! Since it means I am totally out of options and taking photos in those sorts of conditions aren't ideal. Instead I prefer to put the AD200 with the Fresnel head into the Magmod Magbox for situations where I want a large softbox.However, It may surprise some that there is only a 1/3 stop difference between the AD200 and the AD360. For weddings I often prebuild the Magbox and leave it in the corner of the venue or failing that the car. One of the first things I recommend you do if like me you will be using this for weddings is switch off the beep. I noticed on the newer flashes/triggers, Godox have introduced wireless channel scanning for the best available channel.
