Why I switched from the AD200 to the AD100

Godox AD100 compared to AD200 round head.

In the Godox realm one doesn’t switch we just add.

Have have 6 of these now they go everywhere with me! I carry a full photocopy studio in a back pack! Crazy we’re we are in 2023

This was probably the most useful AD100 / AD200 video out there.

That is really handy to know that it has the zoom function, that makes it more interesting!
Thanks for the video! I was looking at the AD300 because of using the same charger as the AD200s I already have, but the AD100 looks very tempting.

This has been the best video I've found to answer the why of this flash. I just picked up an AD200, and an AD600. I've been looking at more AD200's, but kept wondering about also using a mix of AD100s and AD200s. This video has been the first to justify the price to me. I keep a speedlight in my backpack, but the AD200 has its own case with modifiers. I could ditch 2 lenses for 2 AD100's in the camera compartment, and get a third in the top compartment without needing to add another bag. Take out the speedlight case, and I could add all the modifiers for the AD100s. I could reconfigure my backpack to take AD200s and modifiers, but using AD100s, I don't have to modify anything, and I can easily go back to carrying more lenses and less lights by just swapping items in the compartments.

It also looks like I could just place the AD100 upright with a dome without the need for a light stand or mount in certain scenarios. That would have worked great the other day when I needed to take out the shadows my key light was throwing on the wall.

I don't see it replacing my current AD200, but I do see it as adding to what I can do.

solid review, i wont be switching to the ad100 from the 200. but you made some very solid points i can see why some would make the jump over, its incredible how teeny these lights are getting

Never getting rid of my ad200 pro’s to versatile, with all the accessories for it and its raw power with the Godox AD-B2 double ad200 connector it becomes a 400 with a pretty good modeling light.

Been looking to add a ad100 pro to my line up. The ad600pro I have is just too over powering for indoor shoots and bulky. I will most likely use it for the outdoors and the ad100pro for indoor events or shade. I also liking it has a built in fan and zoom capability.

Same battery as V1 and V860iii. This is another pro for me. I rarely use my AD200 anymore.

[nirajgandhi]

Great video! I was looking at the 200 but ended up going with the 100 because of their size and compatibility with the V1 (batteries and accessories)

Hope you find your 100 your best option. There's plenty of reports suggesting the 200 Pro has better color accuracy and doesn't suffer from the green tint issue. I'm sticking with my 600 and 300 pro as a great outdoor combination. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

[jasonbodden]

I might eventually get the AD100 just to add it to my AD200Pro and AD600BM but I definitely won't get rid of my AD200Pro. That's a hell no. I get to keep the power AND use the round head magnetic accessories with the SR-1 attachment, which I guess is what you're calling the "bulky attachment." The "bulk" doesn't matter to me because it's still a very small, portable setup. But you do make some good points. Oh, the default, fixed zoom on the AD200's is 35mm.

[czwpjzn]

Thank you. It would be cool to see photos/vidos of your setup shooting outdoor :)
It is not clear if it has light modeling ?

[bingjiebai]

GODOX MF12 is small and portable, and can make wonderful films anytime, anywhere

[alexsilva_co]

Thanks for the video! I'm considering a switch from speedlights to AD100 or AD200s

[adrians]

I keep my two ad200pro, and one ad100pro( not much power outdoor in sunny day). Ad200pro is best lights becouse is multi functions 😊

[RAMtrails]

That intro was intense! Thanks for the video!

[notmyname]

I bought the Ad200 with the round head but it does not fit my SMDV softbox though it looks identical to the V1. So have to sell my AD200. ad100 is compatible with my v1 batteries & accessories.

[apotessar]

Can AD100 Pro power a 165cm / 6 ft Translucent Parabolic Umbrella?
🤔

[steverealtyandfinance]

how well does the AD100 work with softboxes?
