Wow this was perfect! 899 vs 649 huge cost savings with only a 1/2 stop? I shoot architecture and usually we use power packs or monos w 1000ws and never are at full power. Thinking the 400pro is worth the investment until making more $ to get the 600 or even the DP1000 Godox. Appreciate the good review!

Even tho it’s slightly bigger and heavier I am happy with my ad600pro. I use hss outdoors a lot that extra power comes in handy. Besides it’s always good to have lead way when the moment rise. The ad400pro as the ad300pro have a problem. For the price of one you can buy a ad600.

So you only get 390 flashes from a full battery? I shoot fast moving toddlers- I don’t think this will work. Maybe I’m not understanding that part of your video

Awesome review! Very informative and straight to the point!

For freeze movements like in sport inside or outside, what do you recommended ?

Top explanation! Would you recommend the AD600 or the AD400 in harsh sunlight ?

Good comparison. I kinda like the handle on the ad400. May be it was designed with outdoor photoshoot in mind.

Super One... You Explained the Needed Points...

Absolutely Fantastic. Beautiful Review.

Great vid.. explained the differences beautifully!

Which one do you prefer for studio shootings, family and children's shootings?

What would you recommend for outdoor vehicle photography.

Hi, I already have one Ad600 but I’m planning to get two more for my studio set up. Do you think I can buy 2 Ad400 and mix it with one Ad600 I already have. I’m trying to save some money.

Is there the option to have them plugged into a wall socket?

Excellent review brother

Which one is best for outdoors?

Great review. Thank you

I have a question , in case if I use both in the same time for liquid splash shot , is the difference in the flash speed in both flashes affecting the final picture ? Thank you for this great video

@MidwestPhoto

Hello, yes they would likely both have a slight difference in flash speed, however it may be so small that you won't see that in the final image result. Both units have flash duration indication on their LCD panels so it may be possible to minimize the difference between the two with slight power adjustments.

Which is best for a one light kit when doing indoor portraits in a relatively small space but I’d like something to grow into?

Hi Jose, yes the AD400 is excellent as a wire-free solution for indoor studio shots.

My wife does food photography inside our home. Can a ad600 be adjusted low enough? Would it ever be too much? Would you recommend a ad300, 400 or 600? Thanks for your time and great channel!

@MidwestPhoto

3 жыл бұрын

If you're only going to be using it for food photography and not for outdoor or in-studio portraiture, the AD600 is a bit overkill. I would recommend saving some money and opting for the AD300, which is small enough with a modifier that you could even navigate it within a small kitchen to get food prep/cooking shots too!

This video has some great information. I have a question about outdoor photos. I been thinking of getting ad600 pro for outdoor family portraits. Would you recommend the ad400pro has enough light on sunny days or is ad600pro a better option? Thanks. Im also thinking about light placement to the subject. Im assuming 600 can be put at a further distance and out of the pic frame to not have to edit it out compared to the 400?

@MidwestPhoto

Hey There! This is a great question! The AD600Pro is going to be a go-to for outdoor options especially if you plan on balancing out the sun. Yes it's true that you could distance the the AD600 further away out of frame to get more light onto your subject, that said keep in mind that the AD600Pro and the AD400Pro are only a difference of half a stop in power so that distance isn't going to be a huge amount!

the difference is big, with the ad400 Pro you will fall short outdoors when you want to take full-body portraits. The ad600 Pro is the best although it weighs a little more. Greetings.

All these reviews yet no one is mentioning the elephant in the room the battery problem. For those whom are interested they have a problem with the batteries if you leave them off the charger for too long they lock up and won’t charge anymore without so tinkering. The problem is wide spread and can happen in a short span. I have two and don’t use both every shoot. Brand new I left one off the charger for a couple weeks and it would no longer charge. I sent it back and got a replacement only for it to happen again. Bought one off Amazon and it didn’t charge when it arrived. They have to be left on the charger for the most part or you risk running I to the same issue. Currently have one down now so will have to swap it as well as I shouldn’t have to break it open for the product to work consistently

Hi. So there isn’t a significance power difference?

@MidwestPhoto

Hi Michael, there is a 200 watt-second difference between the two, which equates to about half a stop in terms of light.

@MidwestPhoto

@@michaelmartinez6899 Correct. Beyond that they have roughly the same number of full power flashes per battery/charge (360 vs. 380 full power flashes) and the AD600Pro will have the bowens mount natively, as where the AD400Pro you have to use an adapter, but we do include that with the product.

So what is the best for you

Hi Shanujan, great question! We asked Austin (our lighting specialist in this video) that question and here's what he had to say: The AD600 PRO is my choice over the AD400 PRO simply because of the ability to use the additional power as I need it. When shooting product photography in the studio, I am often using higher apertures and low ISO meaning I need a lot of power to expose my sensor. The stronger modeling light is also nice when shooting in the studio as I may sometimes use it for video as well. Even then, I may not always use 600 watts in the studio but I will sometimes come close when shooting outdoors and using the light with HSS & TTL combined to overpower the sunlight and create dramatic imagery.

No power indicator on the AD400.
