Let's get into it.
We're not going to be going in depth into the Godox AD300 pro
because we've already done that in another video.
So, if you want to take a closer look at the unboxing
and review of the light itself, click the link up above.
For this one here, we're going to be unboxing
and taking a look at what's included with the Godox AD300
Pro dual flash backpack kit.
This backpack here is the CB-20. It has the Godox branding there
and it's included with the actual light kit.
So, it's really convenient because all the gear minus
the light stands are actually inside this bag.
And you can use this bag obviously for many different
purposes including carrying your other devices like a laptop,
tablet, mobile phone, all your little accessories.
Now, this bag here looks like it's made
from a fairly sturdy build.
And there are a few straps on the side.
So, you can see there's a strap there and a little pouch.
Also on the other side, it's the same thing.
The strap and the pouch.
But this is so you can sit some light sands in here.
So, if you have some portable light stands,
there are a few light stands on the market
that are like reverse fold stands.
So, they're actually quite compact.
And they'll be able to support the lighter weight
Godox AD300 Pro. So, it's perfect to fit there.
Now, at the back here, the actual bag itself is padded.
So, the padding's great
obviously for support on the back.
But that padding's a little bit elevated.
So, that allows some air to pass through too.
So, if you're wearing this backpack
and you're taking it on location,
it's quite cool to wear given that there's a bit of gap
and room there for the air to flow through.
The actual straps,
the backpack straps themselves are also padded.
And there's a little bit of a mesh material here too
which is good just for cooling. Now, you have some D hooks here.
So, these D hooks and these rings
are actually for mounting other devices.
So, if you have carabiner hooks or if you have other hooks
that you can mount onto there,
lenses, other accessories, perfect for that.
And you've got a fairly sturdy
and well sort of stitched in handle here.
This handle has a rubber hold here which is great.
Now, for the straps at the back,
you can see that there is a waist belt loop
and also a chest belt loop.
Now, this chest belt loop is actually quite cool
because there's a little whistle that's built in.
So, this little whistle here is this grey part.
Not sure why you need a whistle but it is there.
In case you get lost perhaps on location.
And you have some zipper openings at the front here.
So, you got a zipper opening there with one pouch.
Looks like you could fit something like a tablet
or other little small accessories,
your wallet, your keys, smartphone.
You've got a double zipper front pouch
which houses a few of the accessories.
And the internal part of the bag here
is like a waterproof, like nylon material.
So, that's nice. And on the inside is the kit too.
So, let's jump into the kit. While we're jumping into it,
we can actually see the bottom of the bag too.
And the bottom of the bag has some supports here for the hole.
So, if you lay this flat on the ground or on a surface,
has a little bit of support there.
So, it's not wearing into the material of the bag
which is good too.
And this part here looks like it's like a gray strip.
It could be a reflective strip but we'll check that.
Now, opening the bag,
everything's conveniently packed into this bag which is great.
There's some lighting modifiers, there's the lights themselves
and you have some separators here.
Opening this up,
it opens completely flat like this which is good
because it allows you to access your bag
and all the gear inside, a lot easier.
On the front panel here, as soon as you open it up,
you've got a few pockets.
This one here is like a velcro pocket.
You've got two smaller ones in this in the middle here.
And you've also got another one on the side.
And you've got a zipper mesh pouch here.
So, you can see what's inside this particular pouch,
whether that be memory cards, extra batteries,
cables, things like that.
And inside here, we've got two umbrellas.
So, these umbrellas are the UBL-085S
and that's the silver interior. And this one here is UBL-085T.
So, I think these two umbrellas are two different models.
One's going to be a transparent and one's going to be a silver.
So, you've got two different types
of lighting modifiers already included.
On the top here,
you can actually see the flashes themselves.
You've got some velcro separators here.
So, these velcro separators are great
if you're going to be using this bag.
Not only for the AD300 Pros,
but if you have more lights or different gear,
you can probably even use this as a camera bag.
Or if you have other Godox lights,
I'm sure at the very least, the AD200s would fit in here,
maybe a single head of the AD400 Pro or the AD600 Pro.
So, it's good just as a bag in general.
You can purchase the CB-20 bag separately.
So, it's something to consider especially
if you have other lighting options in your gear setup.
Now, we've got the little carry pouches here.
So, these carry pouches are for the actual lights themselves
and all the equipment that comes in the light.
So, opening this up, it's your standard AD300 Pro pouch
and it has all the gear that you'd expect as per
the standard package from the individual light.
So, you've got the charger with the cable,
you've got the battery.
It's battery and there's a little battery protector.
And you've also got a light stand bracket.
So, this light stand bracket is the new
and improved one that's made from metal.
And it's also got the locking mechanism here
which is a spin lock rather than the twisting to lock.
It's a lot more convenient to mount your light.
And of course, the AD300 pro itself
with a little reflector for the AD300 pro
as well as the light bulb.
So, everything's included as you'd expect
from the standard light package. And you have two of these.
So, put that one there and put that on there.
Now on top of that on the inside mesh pouch here,
you've obviously got all your standard AD300
Pro documentation,
you've got the manual, you've got the warranty card
and you've also got just a little Godox pamphlet.
This one here has just some other Godox lighting gear
in case you wanted to take a closer look
at the different products that they have.
So, this is new. They haven't really included this
in many other standard packages before.
Now, on the inside, once you've removed all those pouches,
this is all a nice protective padded sort of
like a felt material.
And you have some different separators here.
So, you've got two medium ones, you've got two larger ones here.
Yes, they're the same same size.
So, in total you've got four but one has a little fold here
so you can actually configure that the way you want it.
You've got a smaller separator
and you've also got one large horizontal separator there.
So, you can see on the inside here,
there's a lot more space for you to fit a full-size flash.
So, if you're using one of the larger flashes,
you can perhaps use this as the bag for that.
Now, jumping back into the front pockets
because I think we've missed a few things,
in the front pocket here you've got two 45 liter rain
covers for the backpack. So, if you're on location
and you're caught out in wet weather,
you've got some rain covers there.
And you've got the Godox AD-S60s.
So, this is a softbox I believe that will have the Godox mount.
So, it's not a bowens mount.
It's going to have the Godox mount to suit the AD300 Pro.
Now, you've also got some pouches here.
They'll be for the charger and other devices too.
But all in all, there's quite a few pockets here
and it's a neat little package by Godox.
I actually think this would be quite a popular setup
because 300 watt flashes are sort of that perfect
output range to use in studio as well as on location.
It gives you enough output a little bit more than AD200
that a traditional flash will give you.
So, now quickly looking at the lighting modifiers
that are included, the two umbrellas here,
they're 85 cm in size. So, that's fairly small.
It's on the smaller side of lighting modifiers.
But you can see it's quite good
because it is really compact and fits in that bag.
Now, they've given you two options.
They've given you a transparent one
and the transparent umbrella is white just like that.
And also, they include a black cover.
And this black cover has a silver interior
that turns it into a silver reflective umbrella.
And the other one here is actually the reverse.
So, you've got a silver umbrella
and that's already silver in the interior there.
And they've given you a front scrim here.
So, that's sort of like a diffuser for that umbrella
which we'll show you here.
So, you can see you can kind of turn this into a soft box
and you can feed your light through here
and act as a reverse modifier which is great too.
Now, there's also the S60s which is a Godox mount 60 cm octabox.
So, that's great if you're using this for portrait photography,
it's perfect for that.
If you're doing a lot of close-up shots,
it's good for that because the spread of light
won't be as big as obviously larger modifiers.
So, these are great modifiers that are included in the kit.
It'd be great to see some larger modifiers.
Obviously, it wouldn't be compact enough to use
in the setup but using larger modifiers
to really get the most out of the AD300 pro.
So, if you're using that 300 watt flash,
if you have a larger octabox such as an 80 cm even,
all the way up to 120 cm,
you can definitely carry that around.
Godox have quite a few different options in their range.
And they come with carry pouches too.
So, it might be something
that you'll have additional to the kit.
But these three that are included
are definitely on the more compact side
and ideal for this sort of setup.
So, that was just a quick look at the Godox AD300
Pro dual flash backpack kit.
