The modeling light is nice quality, but not particularly bright, especially when used with a highly diffused modifier. I don’t regularly use high-speed sync, but it can save your day when you need outdoor portraits to overpower the sun. In any case the only thing in a perfect world I wish you could get out of these units is a modeling light that was powerful enough to be useful. The modeling light will work in very close up situations with smaller modifiers but forget it if you want to use lets say a 4 foot octa 5 or more feet away or similar setup. The long-life lithium battery has enough charge for 500 full-power flashes, so you don’t have to worry about running out of power mid-shoot.

Thanks to Profoto’s marketing campaign. There has been a rush to release round head flashes due to the ‘better’ lighting pattern. In practice it’s not a biggie unless you like to fire flash unmodified directly at your subjects. Using this head, the quality of light is indeed better compared to bare Fresnel head. The downside is you lose a bit of power. For weddings, I simply don't use it.

Then I do use the AD200 as a fill flash for group photos. In which case I put one of them into my Magbox and it is usually enough power. Occasionally I use two to give my 400Ws but I loathe to do it. Since it means I am totally out of options and taking photos in those sorts of conditions aren't ideal. The flashes also provide color temperature and consistency at a steady 5600K over the entire power range. It means that there would be minimal difference in color temperature between shots and that the color temperature is daylight balanced.

We have tried to cover all of the features, the specifications, the pros and the cons of every flash unit in the AD range so far, including the AD100 Pro. So, let's start with the newest of the AD series. AD100 ProAt weddings, the Godox AD200’s are my main flashes for pretty much everything. Outdoors for groups. Portraits. Indoors, I use them to light speeches, first dances and occasionally if the situation demands, wedding ceremonies.
