Hi,I purchased this project in September and the battery already isn't charging. I tried all of the troubleshooting options that they gave for this issue, but it is still dead. IT DIDN'T EVEN LAST A YEAR!

In LOVE with this strobe! Powerful and easy to use. Comes with a really great travel case to protect the equipment.

I received my AD400Pro and the first thing I noticed was the new battery with the external reset button (yellow tag). I put it through its paces and it worked flawlessly with the X3s trigger! The TTL and colors were also spot on! I am going to use this as my main outdoor portrait strobe along with my AD300Pro for my secondary light setup. Great purchase for my growing Buisness!

I wanted to try the AD system from Godox because of its portability via battery. I was very pleased, so much so that I ordered the AD600, which is a little larger and a bit heavier. I now use both lights in my studio, and may be purchasing another AD600. I also purchased extra batteries in case I have a long shoot, but so far, I've only had to change out the battery once after about 5 hours of continuous shooting. Glad I bought this system.

PROS & CONSPROS:The lighting is fantastic!It's reliable.The setting options are great.The build is sturdy.I don't know why anyone would pay so much for a ProFoto when the performance is so close... YES, ProFoto is better, but NOT for $1,000 price difference... With the ProFotos you get a cooler screen & easier control, and a little lighter weight... But why not buy THREE OR FOUR OF THESE instead on ONE ProFoto when the photo results are the same.CONS:This bad boy is a little heavy... It doesn't seem bad until you're holding it over your head for awhile. If you use stands, no biggie. My assistant said she needed a good arm workout anyway...For this price & power I'm ok with the weight.IN SHORT:· Great light· Great control options· HSS· Works great with godox system (and without it too)· A bit heavy

I used to waste all of my money on more expensive equipment, but now that Godox is here making these market disrupting power houses, I am a very happy camper. I have sold all of my other lights and am totally Godox now. Before I got the AD400 Pro, I already had a couple of the AD600's. I kinda knew what to expect, but I really didn't. In the pictures I posted here, it really doesn't do the 400 justice, it is so much smaller, so much lighter than the 600. The power is obviously not the same, but it's still incredibly impressive. The modeling lamp is almost blinding too. I have used these as video lights as well. I really love how I can use this, with the 600, 200 and speedlites by Godox all from the Xpro remote. Life is so much easier now!I took a bts shot during one of my editorial shoots. I placed the Bowens mount adapter on the AD400Pro and threw an octabox on. I was really blown away by how powerful this little guy is. And it held up to my large Bowens mount light modifiers as well.The only downside is that it's quite a process to put the Bowens mount adapter on and off and you can't put the reflector/bulb protector on with the Bowens adapter on. However, I found a work around for this that I am very proud of. If I am going to use Bowens mount modifiers, I just put the adapter on and use one of the AD600Pro reflectors/bulb protectors to cover it. Works like a charm. Check out the pictures to see.All in all, this is an ingenious light system and for the price, it is absolutely unbeatable! I will be buying a couple of more of these to round out my kit.

Finally getting around to reviewing my Godox AD400Pro – why did I wait so long to buy this?I’ve moved to using all Bowens-mount lighting modifiers, and I noticed the AD400Pro accepted Bowens mounts…for those occasions when you need a lot of light on location, it looked like just the ticket – 400 watt-seconds, less than 5 lbs, including the battery, adjustable from my Godox flash controller (so I can use it seamlessly with my AD200s and speedlights).Took it out to shoot some sunset shots in the desert, and it worked great with my Cheetahstand 26” Quick SoupBowl. Plenty of power when the sun was still bright, even from 15-20 feet away, and dialed down as the sun faded. Super fast recycle time! Way better than the old location setup (2 Canon 600 EX-RTs in a Westcott Rapidbox Duo – which is going on eBay this week! ;-))Once the sun went down, I decided to see what it looked like in a studio setting – using the AD400Pro as the key light (with a 42” QSB round softbox), an Eyelighter reflector, and flash as a kicker…worked great. Did I mention the modeling light? Yep, just like my regular moonlights…but having 1/3 stop control from 1/128 to 1/1 power over the light, and having it run for 2 shoots on a single charge (and ready for more), has me thinking of retiring my old moonlight strobes – no more power cords to trip over! Those may end up on ebay soon, too!)So, one light to rule them all for indoor and outdoor shoots? Pretty hard to beat the AD400Pro – get yourself one (or 3 ☺)
