A screen grab from the XPro-P review video (coming soon) lit by the AD400 Pro modelling light inside a 4ft parabolic softbox. 1/50, f/8, ISO800. Both units feature a handle for positioning and adjusting while shooting. These handles are also removable, which is ideal if you need to save space while traveling. 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. Despite three of us shooting the single strobe that day, that was turned on the entire time, I didn’t have to dip into my Novoo to recharge the battery at all. At the end of the day it was still showing 3 out of 4 lights on the charge indicator With both units featuring Godox’s 2.4GHz X-System Radio Receiver built in, setting up a shoot has never been easier.
The process of adjusting to TTL, Manual, or Multimode is straightforward, and it is easy to customise the settings and play around with different lighting effects – these can all be adjusted using the side control panel on both units.The main differences are that the AD600Pro does not have the option for interchangeable adapter rings for Bowens, Profoto and Elinchrom, and obviously there’s the 200-watt power output difference between the two flash heads. The Godox AD range of flash heads is by far the most popular of the Godox flash series and for good reason! Every light is powerful, portable, lightweight and exceptionally high quality, so it's no wonder that photographers are all looking to expand their kit using these lighting solutions. However, a few of the questions we often get asked are, what exactly is the difference between the lights in this series, what can each power level of the AD range get you, and which modifiers will these lights work with? To answer these questions, and more, we have created a comprehensive guide to buying your Godox AD flash head!
The foam in the bag could be better designed to be able to make better use of the empty space after you remove the bulb & Bowens adapter and fit them onto the strobeBut the AD400 Pro proved to us that it could handle the vast majority of situations any of us would find ourselves in for both our personal and paid photography work. In summary, though, it feels like a good solid light, and it seems to have all the features that were added to the AD600 Pro in a recent firmware. Right from the outset, it’s clear that Godox has put some thought into making the AD400Pro flash even more transportable and convenient by providing a carry case with the unit itself – an accessory that the AD600Pro does not come with.
