I wish they made that fan reflector for the AD200... would be ideal for my photobooth

Probably the first strobe that can be used while plugged in a USBC battery back! I’ve been using it for couple of months already too and it has its strong points! Cheers!

I wouldn’t recommend using this Hard while plugged into usb power, as it would slowly build up a Lot of heat inside the battery, but it’s definitely a possibility.

Thanks for this very helpful review, Wes!

Thanks Wes. I kind of want one for my silver X-T5, but I use it and an X-H2 with a godox v860iii at events and use bounce flash a lot. It looks cool, with a retro style camera, but I probably wouldn't actually use it much.

Nice and thorough - Thanks. You said the light was fantastic out of it. I guess that's if people don't mind that still head-on look mostly ?? I appreciate you additionally demonstrated it angled up.

Yeah I’m definitely not a fan of the head on look myself, but it is super trendy right now, and it’s definitely no sepia tone haha I was more pleased with how my straight on shots came out than expected. But I guess you need someone with the right look and style to match the vibe.

Great review, now I'm disappointed that my pen-f doesn't have a sync socket.

@@michaelgardner6687 should be illegal for any camera with a retro vibe to not have one 😂

A classic!

As much as I love this flash (it would look so good on my pen-f), I'll pass on buying one, simply because of the in-built battery. What happens when the battery dies, do you have to buy a new flash, or send it away to get the battery replaced? Another possible issue that I have is, I would rather mount the flash on the righthand side of the camera simply to have the flash higher when shooting portraits.

At least on my Sony bodies, the included plate easily slides to reach the right side as well. As far as the battery goes, one of these days I’ll tear one open and see how easy that is. I suspect the biggest audience for these wouldn’t use it enough to wear out a modern battery in its lifetime anyway (300-600 cycles). I tried a bit before, but it does Not look easy. But perhaps there’s a trick I haven’t found yet…

This was almost interesting but without wireless transmitter capability of other Godox flash units, it's a pass. Shame as it looks kinda cool.

Would be a little difficult to implement that function with a screen this small. As it is, it certainly goes beyond the level of advanced functionality I was expecting from a “retro” product.
