Top of the list for me was Magmod. Suddenly I could use their innovative lighting solutions and still pump out much more power than a single speedlight. But more on this later! At weddings, the Godox AD200’s are my main flashes for pretty much everything. Outdoors for groups. Portraits. Indoors, I use them to light speeches, first dances and occasionally if the situation demands, wedding ceremonies.
Three years after their release, there are imitators but no-one close to competing with this innovative flash. The Godox AD200's really are the perfect mix of flexibility, portability as well as being great value for money. Wide Range of Applications】200Ws powerful performance to meet diverse shooting requirements, widely used travel, wedding, portrait, event and outdoor photography, such as art photo, creative shooting, commercial advertising, studio photography etc.The EC200 is an extension cable which allows you to mount the detachable head on top of a light stand and the head unit at the bottom. It’s takes more time to set up but having the weight at the bottom helps the stability if you use lightstands. In practice I found it a bit of a faff to set up at weddings. Magmod So no real surprises. The AD200 is less powerful than the AD360 but more than the normal speedlight. However, It may surprise some that there is only a 1/3 stop difference between the AD200 and the AD360. Whilst in percentage terms that seems a lot (ie. 33%), the AD200 of course is much more portable with the integrated battery.
The very first LED light designed for the AD200. Being honest I was disappointed. There’s no ability to focus the light and there’s not many LED’s so the power output was also pretty poor. It made it wholly unsuitable for lighting speeches at weddings. Only times I used it was to find my car keys at the end of the evening in my camera bag. Godox H200R - Round Head So if you still wondering if you should buy the Godox AD200 for weddings then I would have to say without any hesitation. YES! Absolutely! In fact don't just buy one, buy two! A Small favour..... Whilst technically Magmod did not design their softbox specifically for the AD200. They do work really well with it. The reason is because more powerful, I can use a lower power setting to emit the same amount of light and minimise the flash recycle time. For example if using speedlights I had to use 1/4 power to light a scene. With the AD200, I could shoot at say 1/32 and have almost unlimited flashes whereas on the speedlight I'd have to wait for the battery to recycle. This means if something unexpected happens. I don’t need to worry about the flash recycle time and I can concentrate on capturing the moment.Even with the introduction of the Godox AD300 which are much more like the Profoto B10's, I am not remotely tempted to switch. The fact they fit neatly into my camera bag. Slip into my think tank pouch so I can carry one on my hip when I am walking to take photos. It’s just perfect for a wedding photographer on the move.
