Godox AD600 Pro

Let’s talk lighting. Now we all know what makes a great image. Photons, CMOS sensors, optical glass, complex computer algorithms, industrial strength lighting support and yes, of course, coffee. How much, well that really depends on your cardiovascular health, hydration levels and type of bean your chugging, but HEY! I said we were here to talk about lighting, stop getting off topic!

I know of course it’s not that simple, but that’s only because humans LOVE to make things complicated. So for now, lets just pretend we’re not human… or, at least, you can pretend, some of us don’t have to…

The Godox AD600 packs so much into itself, at such a reasonable MSRP of $899.00, that its a wonder why anyone would opt to spend money they didn’t have to. Boasting impressive features like 16 continuous flashes at 1/16 power, less than 1 second recycle time at full power, and an incredible battery providing over 300 full power pops, it’s got a lot going for it.

The AD400/600/1200 are all able to mount bowens type light modifiers. Most photographers have at least two dozen bowens modifiers laying around in studio, unless you’re the duct tape and tinfoil type guru (hats off to you!…tin foil hat that is). The mounting mechanisms are solid, reliable and make switching modifiers a breeze. Everything feels extremely solid and locks in without hesitation. So grab those 7’ octoboxs and suit up! Take your studio game from bland to Grand.
