Godox AD600BM Witstro Studio Strobe Light Manual Flash

Absolutely the most exciting light I've worked with so far. Wicked powerful strobe, nice bright LED, and it was compatible with the genuine Godox branded trigger I already had. I've wanted to save up for Profoto B1's for years, and this absolutely blows it out of the water. I've already ordered a second one that I'm expecting on Friday, along with a few more Strobepro Rapid Softboxes. I didn't want to touch Bowens at first, being a big fan of Profoto and Elinchrom from previous experience, but the value for dollar of everything I've bought from here so far is ridiculous. If you want a battery powered light for studio and portable work, buy Godox/Strobepro, period. Their X-series lights (V860, AD360, AD600) are the fastest and most powerful of their class, AD360 ... MoreAbsolutely the most exciting light I've worked with so far.

If you want a battery powered light for studio and portable work, buy Godox/Strobepro, period. Their X-series lights (V860, AD360, AD600) are the fastest and most powerful of their class, AD360 setting a whole class of its own, and the S-Type bracket to use Bowens modifiers with the speedlites just makes everything that much simpler. My friend in Texas bought a bunch of V860's for his wedding and portrait studio, and I have the latter two lights, and neither of us can think of a con for this. The only possible negative thing I could say would be the albeit predictable weight of the AD600 (X600ii) being so topheavy, but Godox already addressed that by releasing a corded flash head to plug into this unit, rendering it a power pack to a lighter flash head rather than a standalone. Everything they could have done to make this more flexible, they have, and Godox has been absolutely on top of customer feedback and firmware updates like adding a function to the trigger for turning he modelling lamp on and off.There's too much to drone on about with this light, and all of it is positive. I say again, if you want a good light on any budget, look to these first. Phenomenal.

First of all, it was nice to be able to speak to an actual person on the phone - great customer service.So far I am loving the lights. I have as yet to read the manuals and go in depth but I really wanted to lose some of the cords in my studio and this light has been perfect for that. It's lasted more sessions that I expected and Im pleased with how long the battery stays charged.Even though I've yet to read any manuals everything worked straight out of the box.I wish it had come with a reflector dish. Every light I've purchased in the past automatically came with one and when I saw it didn't I decided not to bother. In retrospect I guess I should have paid the extra to have them.

I purchased a couple of these two years ago and while it's definitely a useful strobe, there were several limitations. These were addressed in their pro version and in my opinion are worth the extra 200$.The first complaint is the plastic tripod mount with a toothed tilt swivel. This ensures that at least half the time you can't get your light aimed perfectly.The second, and really the thing that had me sell these is the modeling light. On the 600pro they upgraded from the miserable 10w unit to a far more usable 40w one.Bottom line, if you want a cheap battery strobe this will work. If you want a fairly cheap battery strobe which you won't feel annoyed with when you can't see your subject to focus, go for the pro version.
