our website, hypop.com.au Let's get into it.
So for those of you that aren't familiar
with the Godox AD400Pro, it's Godox's all in
one portable 400-watt flash that you can use
outdoors on-location as well as in-studio.
It's a really popular unit because it has a
battery, which means you can operate it outdoors.
And it also has a bunch of accessories,
which we've got here and allows you
to use so many different lighting
modifiers. It's really changed the game for
portable lighting solutions for photographers.
So right now we've got a bunch of accessories
that you can see on the table here.
It's the majority of the accessories that
are available on the market right now.
Um, so just to start things off, firstly,
you obviously have the bulb and the battery,
which are included with the AD400Pro.
You can actually buy these separately.
So if you're after a spare bulb, just in
case one blows, um, you can definitely grab
another one of those and also for the battery.
So having a spare batteries, always great.
You get about 364 power
shots out of the one battery.
So if you're having a shoot that
is a little bit longer, then it's
probably best to have a spare battery.
You can purchase that separately.
And also with the batteries,
obviously the battery charger.
So you receive a battery charger with the
standard package, but having a spare battery
charger, which means that you can charge
a battery while you're actually using
the current one that's mounted.
Um, having a spare charger is great.
Now another great accessory that the
AD400Pro has now is quality AC400.
So the AC400, um, has a cable as
well as the mounting pack here.
So what this is is basically an AC adapter, which
you can replace the battery on the back here.
So when you remove that, you can mount
the AC400 that extends the actual casing
of the AD400 quite a bit, but it allows
you to connect an AC adapter there.
So you can see, you can plug it straight into
a wall and then you have the on and off switch.
So this is great for use.
If you're using it in-studio.
And if you're planning on having a long
studio session, then rather than relying
on the battery itself, which only gives you
about 364 power shots, then at least you
have the AC option here, which allows you to
operate the flash pretty much indefinitely,
as long as you've got power to the wall.
Now on top of the AC400, we've
also got the Godox S2 mount.
So the Godox S2 Mount, it might
look familiar because Godox have their
popular S-type bracket, uh, previously,
which is kind of like that version one.
But this is the new version two.
If you want to look at the full review and
unboxing, have a click of the link up above
we've unboxed and reviewed that already.
Um, but this one here, typically it mounts.
speedlights and flashes.
So you can mount, you know, all of
Godox's speedlights such as the TT685
or even the round head Godox V1.
Um, but the good thing about this S2 bracket
is that you can actually mount the AD400Pro.
Now, why would you do that?
Well, as you can see out of the box here, the
Godox AD400Pro doesn't have a Bowens mount.
It has the standard Godox mount there.
They do provide a Bowens mount adapter,
um, inside there, uh, inside the
actual package, which you can mount on.
So you can screw that on.
Um, but say you have this particular accessory
and you're jumping between multiple flashes.
You might have this flash as well as
some speedlights, this bracket, usually
something that you'd have in your kit,
because this allows you to mount modifiers.
You can also mount this directly to
the Godox AD400Pro.
So to do that, what you need to do is
just completely loosen the locking nob.
And you can slide that over the front of the
actual AD400 pro now without using any screws
or the Allen key that they provide to Mount on
that Bowens Mount that's provided in the kit.
You've pretty much got a Bowens
mount locked straight in.
There with the S2 bracket and you
can now mount Bowens modifiers.
So that's just a really quick solution.
It's something that you may have in your bag
because it's really one of these essential
pieces of equipment that a lot of on
location or running gun photographers have.
So that's good to say that they've
included that support for the AD400 pro.
Further to that.
We've got a few other accessories here
in front of us, so we've got the Snoot.
So this snoot here is just a standard
snoot, but what you'll see is there's
actually no mounting point for it.
So there's no Bowens mount or anything like that.
Literally slides over the front
of the AD400Pro like that.
Um, so this is an AD400Pro specific
accessory, not a Bowens mount one.
So they've created that for the AD400Pro and you
obviously have the standard reflector, which you
can also purchase separately for the AD400Pro.
You receive one in the box or in the standard kit.
But this one here has the Bowens.
Oh, sorry.
The Godox mount here, which
goes straight onto the front
here of the AD400Pro.
So to do that, just line up
and then twist to lock there.
And that's your reflector now, you've also
got a bunch of different adapters for the
AD400Pro, which include the Profoto one.
So this is a Profoto adapter there.
They provide you an Allen key and some screws
that you can basically remove the two top
screws here and the two bottom screws and
slide this over the top and then fasten the
screws once again to the top and the bottom.
And that gives you an adapter.
To use with Profoto lighting
modifiers or accessories.
So some people may be migrating
systems from other lighting systems.
So they've got the Profoto adapter for that.
So if you're coming over from Profoto
and you have some modifiers
there, you can definitely use that.
We've got the Broncolor one here as well.
So if you're coming over from Broncolor
light, the same thing, literally slide it over.
And lastly is the Elinchrom mount.
So there's an Elinchrom mount too.
If you're coming over from Elinchrom,
use this mount here.
So these are all available separately, not
included in the standard package, but separately.
Another brand new accessory that
Godox have released is called the
extension handle for the AD400Pro.
So this was an item that was heavily anticipated.
So we had one for the AD200.
Which is called the EC200 and also for
the AD600Pro, which is called the H600P.
So you can actually now grab the extension
handle, which will show a photo up on
the screen right now for the AD400Pro.
This is a brand new product as of 2020.
So it's one of those new items that they've
released, where you can extend the actual light
source for the AD400Pro, so rather it being
on the front here, connect the extension handle.
And have the light source
elevated on a lighter head.
So it's lighter in weight because
it's only the front part of the head.
And you can have that mounted onto C-stand
or a boom stand or someone using a boom
pole to mount that and elevate the light.
So that's another great accessory
anticipated for the AD400Pro.
And then lastly are some soft boxes
that Godox have released for the AD400Pro
for the Godox mount specifically
the one that's on the front here.
So this one here is called the
AD-S65W. There's also an S-version.
So the 'W' stands for white and that means
it has a white interior inside the softbox.
There's also an S-version,
which is silver interior.
This one here is a 65.
So that means it's 65 centimeters, whereas
there's also an 85 available as well.
Um, that's also available in the white and silver.
So just taking a closer look at this one here.
What you will see is the mounting point here to
the mounting point, has those three lugs that
connect straight into the Godox AD400Pro.
And it's a nice little soft box.
This one here, it's a collapsible one.
So all you need to do is just push down.
So when you push it down there, what you'll see is
you need to push it down in the center, similar to
other good softboxes like their collapsible range.
And what you'll find is.
A white interior here.
So that's the.
What, what the 'W' stands for there.
And a white interior provides a softer light,
more natural, softer light than a silver interior.
The silver interior reflects
the light quite a bit.
So if you want it to amplify your light or
have a stronger light than use the silver
one, but you've seen these in beauty dishes.
And this is basically what it's trying to mimic.
So you've got, um, the white interior
and you've got the round shape and
it's producing a nice, soft light.
Perfect for sort of dramatic, uh, creative shots
used in beauty photography or portraiture.
So there's a nice round softbox there.
That's compatible with the AD400 products.
So along with all these available accessories,
if you're using the Bowens mount, which is
provided in the kit and using that and mounting
it onto the AD400Pro that opens you up to
all the range of Bowens lighting, modifier,
accessories, cause range, which is basically
like standard reflective softboxes bond doors.
Beauty dishes.
Snoots not specific to the AD400Pro so
Bowens snoots umbrellas and everything else.
So this is just a quick look at some
of the Godox AD400Pro accessories
