For me personally the AD200 has been a strobe on which I can depend on. Although I have had some small accidents with it, it never missed a beat. I am happy that I never had to change my opinion about this during the last four years. My initial impression of the AD200 and its build quality was very positive. If you need to change custom settings on the flash it can be a bit tedious to do so because of the small display. It is quite simple and rather small, but in practice you will not look often on it since you will use a trigger to control the AD200. On the back of the unit there is a small LCD. That said, battery life has never been and still is not a problem. After 4 years of quite intense use I am not sure if my batteries can still hold a 500 flash charge since they have aged (which is completely normal). For some reason you always need to insert it multiple types before you found the right orientation, and that is the same with the battery of the AD200.įortunately with a battery life of 500 full power flashes (specified by Godox) you do not need to replace the batteries very often. Compare it a bit to the traditional USB 2.0 connectors. Due to the square shape of the battery itself it is hard to see how you need to insert it, especially when the light is dim. One of the things where I think Godox could have improved is with the way how the battery is inserted. Later on will discuss it a bit more, but there are many different AD200 accessories available. The standard AD200 kit comes with two different heads that can be swapped, a Fresnel head and a barebulb head. The AD200 features a swappable head, which means that you can change the front part of the flash into a type of flash head that suits your type of photography better. But the form factor also means that the AD200 will fit nicely inside your camera bag in place of your flashgun. This is quite impressive since the AD200 is roughly three times more powerful than a conventional camera flash. In the pictures of my first impression article published a long time ago you can see that the AD200 has roughly the same shape of a speedlight. The first reason why people love the AD200 is because of the small size and convenient shape. Hopefully this will give you more insight on how durable the AD200 is and if indeed this is the right investment for you. If you have additional remarks or comment feel free to share them in the comments. And I am not the only one that does so.įor this review I have gathered feedback from multiple photographers using the AD200 in order to get a good feel for the reliability and little flaws people have discovered. With the risk of spoiling the review I just love this flash. Today I am going to discuss how the AD200 has been holding up the last four years. ![]() ![]() Extremely compact, powerful enough with 200Ws and reasonably priced. For me and many others the AD200 was the strobe that we had been longing for. It has been almost four years since Godox originally announced the AD200.
