Well done, Jessie.............great explanation in a calm, steady voice. My questions were answered.

great thorough overview of the AD200Pro, will definitely shop your website!

THANK YOU THANK YOU! you saved my flash! This video is AWESOME

Brilliant guide, have had my ad pro 200 for a year but still come back to this basic guide that still cover all I need, thx

Loud & Clear. Great video. Thank you very much!!

Thanks for the video. I've had this flash for over two years and finally I know how to operate it 100%.

Excellent video. I have learned many things today. Thank you.

Wish I had seen this when I bought it, lol this helped tremulously

Incredible the detail you have gone into to describe the utilisation of the AD200. I sitting with my AD200 following your explanation. Thank you for your help.

Thank you SIR!!! Extremely thorough review and absolutely well explained!!! I just dove into the Godox ecosystem as a semi pro hobbyist and I'm appreciative of the work Strobepro and Godox in elevating the technology in the off cam flash photo space!!!!

Given the microscopic font of the printed manual, this video is a godsend! Thank you!!

I'm using one......is stellar!

Thank you so much. Every time I want to use AD200 pro, then I come to learn again from you that is easy and fast. Learning from you is much better than reading Godox instruction was small with tiny words and instructions are so complicated.

That's a great educational video! Well presented and explained! Absolutely the must when most new manufacturers do not provide proper documentation to the products! Recommended! P.S. I bought two AD200 Pro units a few months before the video from @Strobepro Studio Lighting.

Excellent and thanks for complete review on ad200 pro.

Super awesome video. I wish more companies would run through all their features of a product and explain the scenario where you would use said setting like this guy did. Also liked how he said “99% of people won’t need it”

Great video for a new user! Thank You

The PC terminal is an important backup. I use the radio transceiver of course but things happen. So having a PC cable ready just in case is super important. I hope Godox keeps building them this way in their future strobes.

Not the first time he's gotten that. 😆

good video, but what you were talking about with the 'multi' mode, is simmilar to Nikon's repeating mode, it is used for strobascopic flash, ie: more than one flash per shutter exposure, say flurecent lights, to maintain WB in the shot, without interference from other lights, or to stop the motion of a machine ( lathe spinning metal, train wheels, ferris wheel, etc). much better to describe it this way, more clear understanding, as the traditional definition of "multi" is in multi-exposure mode, in film cameras to shoot two or more shots on the same frame of film, this is the first thing to mind when the word multi is used!!

Thank you for this video. Very informative. Suggestion: when there's no flash head on it, it would be more informative to give a descriptive message like "No flash head" instead of what's currently shown.

Thanks so much for the Vid, very appreciated. Got a question for ya: I’m using a 200ADPro & XproC. I’m often off camera, remotely hand holding 200ADPro & remote triggering the camera -using a remote-, however I’ve found the XproC will override any setting I have on the 200ADPro. Is there anyway to stop this so the Xpro will simply trigger the flash & not override it’s settings? (Currently the only workaround I’ve found is to put the Xpro in APP mode (and not use the app) - but this seems a bit backwards? Is there a better or proper way to do this?) Thanks heaps.

I have a question, I’m a newbie in photography and I bought the ad200pro. Is there like a limit how many flashes you can take ? And if so, do I have to buy like another bulb?

There's one situation when you hold down the set button on M mode,... what do those numbers mean?

any recommendations on triggers that won't override the settings on the flash?

My flash is sometimes blinking the stand by button continuously and beeping. There is no troubleshooting in the manual. It stops when I press the button but can start again after a while. Do you know what this is?

Nicely explained. But require to be taken close up view while explains the part. Taken too wide shot

I literally was doing the same thing.

Just FYI: You talk about at the 9 minute mark about checking your firmware just to make sure you have the latest version, but nothing in this video, nor at the Godox website that I could find, nor anything in the "manual" tells you how to find the current version (very frustrating). I had to do a deep dive into the net and some forums to find the answer. For those reading this who would like to know: Step 1. TURN THE FLASH UNIT OFF! (yes, OFF). 2. Hold the MODE button down. 3. WHILE holding the MODE BUTTON DOWN, TURN the AD200 PRO on. The CURRENT FIRMWARE VERSION should appear near the center of the screen. I have to say, I don't get it - hidden both in the literature, and hidden from expected ways of viewing it on the device, the reasons for this are just baffling. A few other words of caution: My latest purchase came with V1.5 (also listed on the Godox site as the most current). If you have to update, as of the date on this comment, you now must use the G3 UPDATE LAUNCHER (check at the time you are updating). Also make sure your version of G3 is for your OS (i.e. Mac/Windows). Lastly, check the Godox website for what the update contains (and if you really need it). If not, and your flash works fine, you might think to bypass any potential subsequent problems or bugs with the new firmware version, and just keep using what you have until a firmware update speaks to your needs.

Hello. Did your flash work quietly? Every 5 seconds I have such a micro-click inside the case on ad200pro. Barely audible. I found a similar problem on KZread, where the guy was told by the godox representative that this is how capacitors are refilled in some models and that this is completely normal. For the author of the video with the problem, the flash has been working for 3 years now and nothing. How would it be okay if so, but the sale may be difficult.

Which trigger is recommended to use with GoDox AD Pro 200 ?

What no one seems to cover is how to put one flash on one group and another flash in another and have separate lighting controls for them both from the trigger. I might want one ad200 at 1/124 and another at 1/32 depending on modifier and distance from the subject. How do you set them separately like that?

Hello, Jesse! Thank you for this interesting video manual... I just would like to know what function activates when long pressing the set button in M mode. The flash screen displays a 330 number that can be changed with the GR/Ch button, and another number that can be changed from 0010 to more than 0100 by turning the dial. Do you know what is that for?. It doesn't change even after resetting the unit. Thank you!

Here is the link to the product on our site: strobepro.com/products/strobepro-xb29-godox-vb29-battery-for-x200-godox-ad200-ad200-pro

The color of the fresnel head is such a different color temperature compared to to the barebulb and round heads. Unacceptable in my opinion for not color matching all the AD200/pro heads.

Hi Narjes, The LED strip within the fresnel head is honestly not the best as a modelling light. With any kind of modifier in the way, you're not likely to see it. The AD300 Pro and up have much more usable modelling lights.

Hi Jody, The barndoors are tricky to remove, but at least you don't have to worry about them falling off. Try to peel one side of the barndoors off the head rather than pulling directly outward. Adding a bit of a twisting motion also seems to help. As for the head, with the release switch engaged, it is removed perpendicular to the body (see 6:02)

Hi Carlos, On the X1T, you'll have to enable the multi mode from the custom functions menu. Long-press the channel button to access the menu, and find the function with three lightning bolts (it was function 04 on my X1T-N). Hit Gr to change this function, move the scroll wheel, and hit Gr again once it is set to "On". Now your groups will work a little differently. The mode button will just turn the group on or off. Your multi settings need to be controlled from the back of the strobe. You should be able to set your strobe to 1/256 and 10 Hz, assuming it's an AD200 Pro and not the original AD200 (which had a minimum power of 1/128).

@Strobepro

Hi Joey, The newest controllers (XPro and X2T) can be set to use the 0.1 stop adjustments. The controller always overrides what you have set on the flash. If you have an X1T, which only does 1/3 stop adjustments, you can enable the "APP" mode from the custom function menu. This will make your controller into a dummy trigger that simply triggers everything on the channel (meaning it won't override what you have set on the strobe). If you prefer to adjust your lights this way, the APP mode is available on the XPro and X2T as well.

If you are in Canada, you could send your flashes and controller to us, and we can update the firmware for you as a free service.
