You can change groups by pressing the GR/CH button and change to a different channel by holding down the same button for two seconds then using the dial to choose which channel you would like. The buttons and dial feel nice and responsive. It's small but functional and the buttons are logically placed. The rear LCD screen is on the bottom of the flash. There! If you are a stats nerd then fill your boots! 🙂 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 Technical StuffĪs 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: Power But in my opinion, none are really challenging the Godox AD200. The Yongnuo YN200 and the Geekoto GT-200 are two that spring to mind. Three years on and competitors have tried to copy the AD200. Suddenly I could use their innovative lighting solutions and still pump out much more power than a single speedlight. Suddenly we could use all the light modifiers designed for speedlights! Something us wedding photographers did a lot. Suddenly we had an all in one solution that used the Fresnel head. It was also quite an intimidating set up to hand to a bridesmaid or best man if you needed help during a wedding. In the field it wasn’t always the most practical solution. This meant I had to use a light modifier and usually large one like a softbox or beauty dish. However, the was external bare bulb flash only. This was a popular flash amongst wedding photographers. Combining them together was a cumbersome affair. Sure you could use a single speedlight but outdoors the humble speedlight was limiting.
#GODOCS 200 PORTABLE#
Prior to the AD200, if you wanted a portable flash solution for location shooting. If you’re not familiar with the Godox AD200 flash. Is it still the flash for me in 2020? Background & History Hopefully with the scene set, read on for my thoughts on the Godox AD200. I will be focussing on what I’ve found to be important (and what’s not) from using it as a busy wedding photographer in Derby & Nottingham over the past few years.
#GODOCS 200 FULL#
There are now quite a number of accessories available for the AD200 and Godox have built an entire ecosystem of flashes and add-ons you can buy.Īs always, the aim of this review isn’t going to be full of stats and shooting test objects. 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. I remember vividly when it was announced. Have my feelings changed over time? Has the AD200 stood up to the demands of professional use?
#GODOCS 200 UPDATE#
So I thought it was about time update my review and let you know how my experience has been. It’s hard to think that my original Godox AD200 review is already three years old.
