Godox AD200Pro II: B&H Photo / Amazon
Godox announced the Godox AD200Pro II. The details are below:
Optimal Performance
The enhanced AD200Pro II TTL Pocket Flash from Godox is a versatile 200Ws flash with convenient and optimized features. Offering the same flexibility previously found in its predecessor, the AD200Pro II was developed with advanced capabilities to help you create a versatile and effective lighting setup. Just as its previous version, the Pro II includes a standard speedlite head and a bare bulb head to give you the option of two distinctly different qualities of light. Both flash heads are now in their latest improved versions – H200 II and H200J II. Power is variable from 1/512 to full power, while each flash head has a bi-color LED modeling light. Some other relevant upgrades of the AD200Pro II are uncomplicated wireless sync with an optional X3 trigger and group color indicator for easy identification.
Your Lighting Companion
The AD200Pro II offers full compatibility with several TTL systems including Canon, Nikon, Sony, FUJIFILM, Olympus, and Panasonic. All of its functions can not only be made manually on the unit but also wirelessly thanks to the Godox wireless X system. Remote operation requires separate purchase of a Godox trigger, such as the recommended X3, and the flash is also compatible with the X2, XPro, and XPro II models. The AD200Pro II body is compact and lightweight enough to become your ideal lighting companion in the studio or on location.
AD200Pro II Upgrades
Keeping some characteristics of its previous version, such as 200Ws and 0.01-0.8 sec recycling time for fast and reliable use, the AD200Pro II provides flash durations from 1/272 to 1/23,500 sec with its speedlite flash head, 1/252 to 1/16,200 sec with its bare bulb one, and a wider output range from 1/1 to 1/512. Settings are accessible via local buttons and displayed on the easy-to-read, upgraded TFT (thin-film-transistor) color screen for intuitive onboard control.
One-Tap Sync Capability
Godox has thought about every aspect to simplify the use of the AD200Pro II when combined with the separately available X3 trigger. Made for instant synchronization with the X3, the AD200Pro II lets you focus on your visual creation. This wireless sync function will optimize your photo workflow, cutting down the time you normally spend managing complicated channels and ID settings. Simply press the wireless sync option on both your X3 and the AD200Pro II to achieve quick synchronization.
Smooth Workflow with Group Color Identification
The AD200Pro II is part of Godox’s 2.4 GHz wireless X system with a range of 328′, featuring 16 groups and 32 channels that facilitate the use of multiple lights. Use the optional X3 trigger or the X2, XPro, and XPro II triggers to wirelessly control the flash head. The brand presents what they call “Group Color Indicator”, meaning that each of the 16 groups will display a different color locally on the flash head for easy group identification even from a distance.
Versatility
The included flash heads can be easily swapped out for different situations. The speedlite head outputs the standard look of an on-camera flash, while the bare bulb head produces a softer light. Users can also take advantage of the Godox separately available H200R round and R200 ring flash heads to vary the AD200Pro II’s quality of light depending of the environment. The possibilities won’t stop here as the AD200Pro II is also compatible with an optional ADS200 stick flash head that enables a wide 360° beam spread.
Godox Wireless X System
The built-in 2.4 GHz wireless X system, with the help of the division into 16 groups (0-9, A-F) and 32 channels, facilitates the creative use of multiple light sources. 99 wireless ID settings (01-99) limit interference from other nearby systems. Additionally, the AD200Pro II has a 3.5mm sync port for setting up a wired connection.
500 Full-Power Flashes
The AD200Pro II maintains a stable output, providing 10 steps of extended output power with adjustability from 1/512 to full power 1/1 in 0.1 stop increments. It runs on a removable and rechargeable 14.4V/2900mAh lithium battery that will give you up to 500 full power flashes and thousands of lower power flashes. Godox conveniently includes the charger in the box. Besides that, the AD200Pro II can work with an optional PB960 power box.
Stable Color Temperature Mode
A dedicated stable color temperature mode improves color consistency to within +/- 100K throughout the entire power range.
Adjustable Bi-Color LED Modeling Light
At 5800K, the AD200Pro II is well-suited for portraits, weddings, and other types of photography. Both of the included flash heads come with a bi-color LED modeling lamp adjustable from 2800 to 6000K. These LED modeling lights output 1400 lux at 3.3′ and can be set to proportional to mimic the effects of the flash’s power setting for pre-visualizing your final shot, or can be adjusted from 10 to 100%. The H200J II provides up to 5.5 hours of continuous modeling light, while the H200 II offers up to 6 hours.
Easy Mounting
The AD200Pro II ships with a bracket that has a 5/8″ receiver to mount separately available stands. The unit features 1/4″-20 threads conveniently placed in different parts of its body.
