What's going on guys, I have now done a review of the Godox AD200 and a lot of questions came in
regarding the flash that I didn't exactly answer in the video so I want to go over a few more specific questions that you guys may have.
Will it work in a bowens S mount adapter?
Yes The Godox AD200 will fit in a bowens S mount adapter, however it is an extremely tight fit.
The ridge of the light needs to be facing downward on the bottom pad for it to be able to slide through. But from there
with a little bit of effort, you can get it in there, and actually push the entire unit through.
You can also get around this by removing the top rubber pad and then putting some type of 3M tape on the bottom of it.
That'll give you a little bit more clearance to get that AD200 through the Bowens S Mount
Hopefully Godox will add a new S Mount Adapter that is more appropriately sized for the AD200 while still
works with their speedlights.
Will it work with Magmod?
Yes, on the fresnel head you can most definitely attach a MagGrip and then use it
with any of the Magmod accessories.
Is TTL available in all 5 groups?
On Canon, yes, on Nikon - no, it is limited by the CLS system to the A, B and C groups and D and E groups
can still be controlled, but only in manual configuration.
Will it work with the Yongnuo YN-622?
You can connect a YN-622 to the sync port although it's not going to be fully featured you're only going to be able to trigger the flash.
Will it work with the Yongnuo 560-TX No
Will it work with the Canon 600-EX-RTII / ST-E3-RT / YN-E3-RT?
No
If you’re noticing a trend here, the AD200 is only fully compatible with
X series transmitters and flashes
This means the X1, XT32, V860II, V850II, TT685, TT600, and AD360ii.
All of those units will be able to control, trigger, and access the TTL/ HSS functions
of the AD200.
The reason it does not work with other radio based equipment is because the signals just aren't designed
to work interchangeably
And since there is no hot shoe, receivers like the YN-622 just can't hijack
the TTL signal like they can with other flash systems
Does it work with the Flashpoint R2 series?
Yes.
It’s the same exact equipment.
Will it flash when only partially recycled?
No.
Like the V860II this flash is optomized to recycle as fast as its lithium ion battery
will allow.
This means that it will not fire at partial recycle, to protect the AD200 from being damaged.
How many consecutive full powered flashes can this thing handle?
In the manual it is listed as 50 full power recycles on the fresnel head, and 60 on the
omnidirectional head.
I tested this all the way to 50 full power pops on the fresnel head and it worked absolutely fine.
but i didn't want to push it any further
What is the flash duration range?
Can it be used with Fuji?
Currently, you could trigger it off of any single-pin radio equipment connected to the
sync port.
There would be no control, ttl, or hss.
With a timing system such as the YN-622 you could do Supersync/hypersync.
Does it work with the Flashpoint R2 series?
It’s the same exact equipment.
No
Will it blend?
