Just received my AD200 a few days ago. You are the best at walking through the menu functions of any video I have found. Godox needs to hire you for all there products and incude your video instead of their manual with all their products. Thank You! Smashed that Like Button and Subscribed!!
As a rule... never EVER let your Godox AD200, AD400 or AD600 hit the ground (especially hard surface) with force, either by dropping it or having a stand it is mounted on fall over. They are fragile and damage WILL occur. They are fantastic products, just need to be handled with care. Protective sleeves may help, but if the impact has enough force, internal damage is still likely.
I would think this would be common sense. Lucky for me when my AD400 was blown over a couple weeks ago in a parking lot it only suffered from a couple scratches. I thought it was done for! My C stand with strobe and modifier weighs approximately 30lbs, plus I had the stand weighted down but the wind does what it wants when it wants.
GreenRC24 Relieved for you that your monolight was okay! 👌🏻 People overestimate sand bags and think they're a be all end all… There's a reason people keep a crew of assistants who man their light stands outdoors. But then again, with a Flashpoint/Godox light, your contingent liability on losing a strobe to accidental damage is likely far less than what you'd have to pay an assistant on professional jobs. You're NOT gonna break a strobe on every assignment, far from it, but ya gotta pay an assistant if you're getting paid and likely even if you're not. End of story. Do you use an extension head, though? I have one for my 600 Pro and couldn't use a C stand without it, even indoors. Too risky. They're $109, but you'd lose far less on breaking one of those than breaking a $650 strobe.
Great video, and well on your way to being a successful content creator. Just stop doing the bubble pop sound and it would be perfection, but like I said, everything else was solid! Keep it up!
Happy New Year Rob ! a quick question if you please ... will the ADB2 accept a AD200 and a AD200pro at the same time on it ? or do we have to specifically have 2 AD200 or 2 AD200pros on it at any given time ?
Color stability mode makes flash duration longer in order to keep the color of the light more consistent. Having CS off is basically the Godox equivalent of the Profoto “freeze mode” and allows a shorter flash duration. If you're shooting any kind of motion, shorter flash duration is necessary and will get you wildly different and clearer results, especially in the studio where ambient light is cut out completely. Watch Lindsay Adler's video where she freezes motion in the studio, the motion being splashes of water. But color stability makes the color variance much smaller for when you don't need to freeze motion, particularly with product, fashion, beauty, or general portrait photography.
Hmm... the menu breakdown is not entirely accurate I'm afraid. The S1-S2 setting is only active when using the flash optically triggered, not wirelessly. The F8/color reliability mody can only be used in manual, not in TTL or Multi mode. Apart from that, everything is covered correctly imo.
We bought this flash unit and the flash tube connection (bare bulb head )won’t fit . Possibly we’ve been sent the wrong one. Only problem ,we bought it Oct 2019 anyone know how to change this?
Balbisiana check you have the pins aligned correctly, I doubt very much you have the wrong bulb! Watch UA-cam videos of the bulb being inserted! Line up the thinnest pin with the thinnest hole!
I've read online that the H200R Round Head with not fit the AD200 Pro, is this true? There are currently 4 reviews on B&H Photo that state the H200R will not fit due to the pins not lining up.
There was a batch that came from Godox that didn't fit however this issue has now been fixed for all future revisions. Best to check with B&H if they have the latest batch.
Making notice notifications that a mobile makes every few seconds is really iritating, why would you want to keep looking at my mobile phone every few seconds, i truly do not know what you were thinking this is a thing with you, i like you content, but i am going to have to stop watching your videos

Thanks for the great feedback!
I use the ad200 for the models I shoot on my channel and it gets the job done. Just got the ad300 pro and thats amazing as well. Nice video.
Bravo...someone who knows how to pronounce 'Fresnel" correctly , finally...
very nice and informativ! good job

Very clear, concise and helpful! Thank you!
Thank you!
great review ..but that blip everytime you insert an image on screen drove me nuts ..
came here to say this. review is great but man those popping sounds have got to go.
MTV Pop Up videos from the 90’s want their special effects sounds back 🤣🤣🤣

Great video I just purchased one and appreciate the thorough directions
Glad you found it useful!
Well done ! alot of effort into details
Thanks a lot!

Too bad the channel is called Hypop... probably part of the "brand" haha
Thanks for the tip!
Worth to watch
Happy New Year Rob ! a quick question if you please ... will the ADB2 accept a AD200 and a AD200pro at the same time on it ?
or do we have to specifically have 2 AD200 or 2 AD200pros on it at any given time ?
Yes it will work with both the AD200 / AD200Pro even if you're using 1 of each!
Sir your videos are diamond 💎💎💎💎
They are the same lights - the difference is so miniscule
Hello, at starting you used a small light stand. can you please tell me about that. i need a small stand like this. that's so cool one.
Excellent!
Glad it was helpful!
May I know the light stand which you have used in this video. It looks very compact.
Not enough for me to upgrade besides I shoot raw I can always adjust wb in post.
What is the purpose of having colour stability OFF? What is the cost of having it ON?
maybe recycle time?

still can't understand why the "custom function" are only defined with FX ...why?Like on the x1t trigger...userfriendly = 0
Does the bracket have a slot for an umbrella?
Hmm... the menu breakdown is not entirely accurate I'm afraid. The S1-S2 setting is only active when using the flash optically triggered, not wirelessly. The F8/color reliability mody can only be used in manual, not in TTL or Multi mode. Apart from that, everything is covered correctly imo.
How does the 1/10th adjustments sync with the 1/3 of triggers? And does the Xpro go to 1/256 to match AD200?
Do you know if the AD200 or 200 pro are compatible with the Yongnuo Flash transmitter?
Is not.
How do you use stroboscopic with a x1t?
What about reviewing the actual differences in usage, power, etc.
Our in-the-field test videos will be coming soon!
does the ad200 works with xt16 trigger?
We bought this flash unit and the flash tube connection (bare bulb head )won’t fit . Possibly we’ve been sent the wrong one. Only problem ,we bought it Oct 2019 anyone know how to change this?

@@hypop Good to hear, thank you!
Great video.. but that popping sound is painful :(
Thank you for the feedback!
That silly noise 🙄🙄🙄

Dude those POP UP sounds are very annoying. This is not the 90’s MTV channel. Turn them off
Dump that annoying Muzak in the background, it's fxxxxing terrible !
