Markus, one positive thing I would like to point out here is that your beloved wife (of course the model) has a great patience, which is to be admired. She never becomes angry on you while you are explaining the things each time and down to earth cooperates. That's really appreciable. Rest, you are as good as you are every time. Keep it up. Thanks.

I have never seen a video paused at the moment of the flash happening. That was a great illustration of what the flash does.

Another great video from this guy. He's an information machine. You blink, you for sure miss an important teaching. When trying to learn something from a KZread video, I have to fast-forward almost the entire video til I find something useful. With this guy, it happens the other way around. I have to stop and watch again in order not to miss stuff. That's the way to be an efficient teacher.

Markus, buddy you have helped me so much! I have saved so much money by seeing you prove that great photos can be taken with lower priced gear. The techniques you share really inspire me. Whenever a person in your position shares their skill and creativity, they have the effect of making the World a better place. I have a passion for photography that is very close to being obsessive; thank you for improving my photography and for teaching me how to best capture my World View!

Just a friendly advice to anyone buying the Ad200. Buy a silicone cover to protect the screens. I just broke my second one 2 days ago.

Mine fell even with it on still broke and wouldnt turn on. I got it repaired. But also thinking about the corded remote head which reduces and relocates the weight on top of the stand to somewhere lower and safer

Buy the pro, it’s more durable

Another important point about using the AD200 WITHOUT a softbox, and with just the 4.7 inch reflectors or a diffusion dome, is that it is *MUCH* better at resisting the wind! The softbox acts like a friggin' sail, catching all of the wind, and requires some weight to keep it from tipping over with any good wind gust. With heavy duty stands, sandbags are rarely needed when shooting without a softbox - which I love...😍

Always love your videos Markus. Practical, focuses on the most important fundamentals, best is your videos (in different interests and disciplines) inspires serious viewers to think and go further in their own journeys. Stay healthy, take care and keep up the good work! Appreciate you and your team always!

That was a fabulous video packed with wisdom and beauty , thank you both so much for giving me so much !

Wow! I love your work arounds and how you explain the equipment, showing both the positive and negative. Merry Christmas you two!

I look forward to your videos more than I could ever express. Thank you for sharing your time.

Just wonderfully wonderful! You both make it so!

Your control of light and color always amazes me. I have this set up for the most part and it is amazing to see it on the right hands. And ofc as always great modeling to pair your work.

Man after watching I'm totally sold. Especially the dual mount. That was awesome. What a versatile piece of kit

@@castielvargastv7931 that's what I do now. I habe one of the Bowens mounts with the clamp and i put 2 speed lights in it. Very versatile kit like you mentioned, but the next step is this AD200 which i don't feel really needs anything else. 2 speed lights and 2 ad200 would be perfect for life

Thanks for all your videos. I wish you both a great holiday season.

Holy Molly!!! This is a very exciting video. Thank you for all your work and for your time in educating, helping, and guiding us in how become a better photographer even just for fun! Keep up the good work. Merry Christmas and happy new year!!

Best video I've watched so far explaining the Godox AD200Pro in my research comparing the different models. I'm now 100% certain this will completely suit my needs without having to spend a fortune. Thank you!

Love this! So happy to see a new video from you and Cara. Happy holidays!

Thanks Markus, you are truly a treasure of knowledge!

One of the most useful reviews with variety of light modifiers. Thank you.

Great light. I have one and many of the modifiers you displayed. Couldn’t agree with you more.

That 15.00 Godox reflector is awesome! Thanks for the tip. Got some great pictures today in the evening time on a cloudy day with just this and the ad200.

thanks for this awesome video. your comparison photos with out flash and with flash are enlightening (excuse the pun.) definitely sold me on this flash the versatility and the compact size are perfect for me and my projects.

I love that the sky in your locations always look magical

Thanks Markus & Cara and Merry Christmas from Sweden!

wow, fantastic video and great quality all-around. I especially love that the products you have linked use the same descriptive words you use in the video. I've just purchased 2 soft boxes. Thanks!

The Master is Back! Thanks again, the Lumix lens you sent me arrived the other day, and I love it! Merry Christmas to you and Cara. Thank you both. :)

Thanks Markus, Saving your vid for reference. I have 4 of these units + several shapers. All you need for outdoor fashion & beauty. A merry Christmas to you both. 🙏

I really do enjoy your side-by-side comparison of more than one softbox or one light which allows us to decide if we want to buy one or two items and not have to send stuff back that doesn't work

The round head adapter with the magnetic reflector, grid, barndoors etc are awesome on this ad200!!!

Just found your channel, and litterally all it took was this video for me to subscribe. Jam packed with tons of useful real-life info.

Hell yeah man! I've been looking at the AD200. I think I'm going to be investing in one next year

Great video, sir! I have a few of these myself and LOVE them!!! I've been using them with my 27 inch sofbox but after watching this, I am going to buy those 4.7 inch reflectors you were using! They worked great!!!

Thank you Markus! I love your videos, they are very helpful for an aspiring photography like me.

Excellent. As a landscape photographer, I sometimes have a family member tagging along. The 4.7 diffuser option is great for me as I like to travel light and this can work for those occasions when doing family portraits.

Thanks for the video. I just got my AD200 and I want to start using it. I just got one. I hope I can get similar results. The info about reflectors is very useful.

my favorite light and my best purchase ! It opened so many doors for me !

Hey, Markus. Thank you so much for your great videos. You can notice that you love what you are doing every second. I started liking photography because of your channel. The world needs more people like you, so happy and enthusiastic. We have learned a lot from your content. Can you share what's the power ratio between the lights in the front against the light on the back to have an Idea.? Why you don't make a photography course or a lightning course (in Udemy or on your website? so we'll have a structured way to learn. that will be awesome. I'm totally in if you release it. Thank you soooo much for your work and Happy holidays to you and your wife. You are the best!!!!!

Thanks U R a magical genus!!! Happy Holidays!!!

Thank you both! We learn every day..

Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, love these instructions, and guidance!!!.

Hi Markus - from the very cold and wet UK :-) Really liking your work - you keep it simple and realistic and I love your teaching style in emphasising the important parts of your light build up each time. Sincere thanks and Happy Christmas to you both

Hello Markus, really appreciate the AD200 review and photo shoot use examples. Your video was very helpful to help me decide on a Flash system to add to my recent purchase of Sony A7 V camera. In past years I shot weddings and many parties. Please keep doing videos!

I aspire to be as chill of a photographer as this guy... wow

You are an amazing person and photographer. I was going to an AD 400 but now probably I will buy 2 AD200 instead. Great work! well-explained and amazingly informative knowledge.

Love my ad 200 easy to take every were one back pack two light stands been really happy with them and seeing what you have done I plan on doing more with that 4 inch reflector

Great video. Lots of coverage of the light modifiers. Coming from a film studio background using big 2400 - 4800 ws flash packs, the little Godox AD200 packs look great for portable set-ups. Nice work.

I love the little softboxes. Im using a homemade cardboard box with white plastic from a trash bag as a diffuser and it makes a world of difference

I am so glad I ran across your channel and this video. I use two ad200s and an ad600. And you are right, its so difficult to read the led in daylight and a lot of my work is outside. I've been asking for two years if anyone knows how to make the led brighter and finally I found out, with a push of a button. This was a very informative video so thanks very much to you both.

I've learned more in this video than I have in so many I've seen Thank You

Killer video! Thank you so much for making this and sharing this amazing flash. On my BH basket to purchase

Fantastic video ,exactly the comparisons i was searching for Uncanny timing 😉👍👍

Eternally grateful! Learned a LOT. I will ditch my 48 octa for my 2 AD200’s, speedlites & umbrellas more often to get the “surround” effect. I wish you covered two more scenarios here: using these indoors and at night, esp. Xmas settings. You’d have made us instant pros.

Nothing wrong with a 48, its great for studio and indoor stuff, and sometimes outdoors if there is no wind. But when I want to move fast and light, I try to figure out ways to keep things very small and lightweight, which is why I like using the stuff in this video.

The AD200 is MY choice to go with all the time. Looking forward to getting a 2nd one for using them just like you did here, be it separated as 2 light sources or together as a 400W single light source. Loved to see the AD-S7 in action. It makes me want to use the bulb much more. I haven't really used it or the fresnel head since I got the additional H200R round head from the beginning and it produces beautiful lighting, but the bulb has that extra punch that looks more contrasty and awesome.

Merry Christmas, Markus and Cara 💕
