I've watched thousands of Photography videos on Youtube and I'd have to say, your photography composition skills is one of the best I've seen.

I finally pulled the trigger on this flash unit and love the whole system 🔥

[tiffannywilliams]

I love your video. Can’t wait to try barn door with creative magic photos. I already have ad100 pro

[yvonnickauray]

Thanks for the video. i just bought one to make portraits on location. And i can confirm, it's very useful. I love it

[charliegreen]

Great video Chris and it’s got me wanting one.

[davidburton]

It's a great flash i bought two of them more powerful with faster recycle than my V1 - you can get a cheap little handle for it makes it easier to hold over your head - great review!

[dizmatt]

slow mo walk... Chris, you have arrived!

[markusjacob]

Thank's for the great video (first i've watched, sry :-) ) think this little beast is a great addition for my speedlites.
Greetings from germany.

I'm considering this flash... just because... maybe for travel... Not sure if I need it though.. I wouldn't use it in a modifier, I think that defeats the purpose of its size.

Thank you Chris again for great comments and ideas. Just a thought, does the use of the C-stand with an S2 bracket negate the whole concept of light and portable? Perhaps a better comparison for a lite kit would be using a Nano Stand (or equivalent) and then a softbox that is more portable like the SMDV Softbox-Flip 24 (which is configured for the Godox V1 with a magnetic mount, so same as the AD100 is fitted with, but appreciate this is not a Lencata stock item). What would be appreciated is a comparison of the AD300 which you use extensively with the softbox kit to the AD100, is the few grams in weight difference between the AD100 over the AD300 actually translate into usable light outdoors when you take into account all the gear being carried.

Hi. What do you think? Buy one AD300 or two AD100 for better result in portrait and product photo?

[andrewdenford]

One minute forty just sittin' through the B roll, hope it's a quality review from here on out . . .

Any miss fires or is it rock solid? Looks like a great bit of kit for the size.

Set up, shoot, pack up and get out of dodge very quickly with this, which sometimes shooting in a city centre matters more than you would like.

[phildavies]

so given it's cost and that of the AD200 - apart from the size what are the benefits....?

[andrewdenford]

My mistake. Three minutes. Three minutes of VSCO faded, royalty free keyboards and endless slo-mo pans. Do I dare unpause?

[davethompson]

great video chris, what was the charge time like between shots?

[travisdope]

Did you need the softbox or was it good w/o it

[dandanu]

Can the AD 100 Pro be paired with Yongnuo flashes?
