I Am A Godox Fan for Life!
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.

WOW! (Pros & Cons)
PROS & CONS
PROS:
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

GREAT FLASH! Super powerful and compact!
This flash is awesome, I do mostly interior design photography and this is the perfect size and power combination. I also shoot headshots and lifestyle photography. The color accuracy is great for skin and the power for outdoor shooting is plenty. This is has a higher price tag than the non TTL versions. If you're doing headshots or outdoor lifestyle I would definitely recommend the pro series with TTL. If you do mostly interiors and static subjects the TTL function is nice but not necessary. It comes in a really nice case that will actually protect your flash. Honestly, the power compared to the 600 is not that different but the compact size for travel is awesome. Very happy with this purchase :)

Great for studio and field use - no power cords - battery lasts and lasts - fast recycle time!
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 ☺)

My new go to portable strobe
Lets first off and say this light is pretty amazing. 400w/s of power in a tiny package means it is my go to location key light. It is bright enough to allow me to overpower the sun in most situations, but can be turned down to give soft intimate light as well. One thing I really liked about this light was the mount system. By default it has a reflector and an magnetic mount for future attachments, and included with it is a standard bowens mount to go with all my softboxes and octoboxes. It is light enough to go on my boom stand without needing massive amounts of counterweights as well. But by far my favorite thing about this light is the LED modeling light. I forgot how useful a strong modeling light can be to lock focus at night. The only real con I have about the light is the need to use a screwdriver to switch mounts. I would love a tooless design, but at least its standard allen keys to change it out.
All in all, Its an amazing light for the price. It has already earned its spot in my kit.

Beast mode
This is a BIG light, no doubt. If you're considering it, you're already after a big light source and this one does it. Easy to operate and runs off the same remote as the smaller speedlights. A little funky having to unscrew and replace the front end if you want to to switch between a bare bulb and a Bowens-Mount diffuser. All parts then don't fit in the case - wish it would have been designed different but not a deal killer.
Did I mention it puts out a TON of light?!
Thus far, a very solid unit, very cost effective versus the equivalent Buff or Profoto lights for sure!

Works better than expected.
I'm very, very pleased with this purchase. It has been nothing but a solid performer. Nice, consistent lighting, great battery life, easy to use, and a really nice case. I would buy this again... and I definitely recommend it to anyone that is a professional photographer and needs good quality, durable, dependable and consistent lighting. If you're on the fence about buying this, just take the plunge... you won't regret it.

Great addition to my studio lighting
I purchased this Godox strobe for additional lighting for my studio as well as outdoor flash. I love the fact that I can do both indoor and outdoor lighting with this strobe, and I love the ease of use and the Bowens mount adapter for various other accessories and lights. I purchased another just a couple of months later to complete my set.

Other than Shipping it's great
This was the second Ad400pro I have. It's an amazing flash for professional photographers. Perfect for studio and product photography since it has color mode.
They did not ship item until a few days after I had purchased product with prime.
Purchased Sunday, item shipped Wednesday but got to me Thursday. Idk why they didn't ship Monday? Anyways other than that annoyance it's a great flash

Amazing power and nuanced control. Overpower the sun!
The AD400Pro is all I hoped for and more! This is a sturdy, powerful studio and outdoor light. You have absolute control over the output and is simple to use right out of the box. I use with the Godox XPro wireless flash trigger and a Godox V860II speedlight for amazing lighting possibilities. The Bowen mount is fantastic and allows me to attach my beauty dish and other diffusion boxes. I couln't be happier with this unit. Also, I'm not being paid to say this; everything bought with my own money. Cheers!

Indoor or outdoor. It’s battery operated but you’ll get well over 300 full power flashes from a charge (don’t remember the exact rated number). There is also an AC adapter if you’d rather but I used that money on the 3 400’s and 2 600’s we have to buy extra batteries so never been a need for ac power
