Godox AD400 Pro: The Ultimate Outdoor Flash

As a professional photographer, I know that finding the perfect outdoor flash can be a daunting task. But with the Godox AD400 Pro, everything seems to fall into place. This all-in-one outdoor flash is a masterpiece from Godox, featuring 400ws strong power, 0.01~1s recycle time, 12 continuous flashes in 1/16 power output, 30W LED modeling lamp, and 380 full power pops. In this review, we’ll go over all the features that make the Godox AD400 Pro a must-have for any outdoor photographer.

TTL Auto Flash Compatibility

One of the standout features of the Godox AD400Pro is its compatibility with various TTL auto-flash systems. It is compatible with Canon E-TTL II, Nikon i-TTL Autoflash, Sony, FUJIFILM, Olympus, and Panasonic TTL Autoflash System. This makes it the perfect choice for those who own multiple camera brands or switch between brands often. Additionally, the AD400Pro can be used in combination with Godox TTL camera flashes and TTL outdoor flashes using the Master & Slave function.

All-in-One Outdoor Flash

The Godox AD400Pro is an all-in-one outdoor flash that delivers powerful performance and reliability. With 400Ws strong power and a recycle time of 0.01-1s, this flash unit can handle any lighting situation. It can easily deliver 12 continuous flashes in 1/16 power output, meaning you won't miss any shot. The 30W LED modeling lamp comes in handy when you need continuous lighting, allowing you to preview light and shadow patterns before you start shooting. Additionally, the color temperature remains stable, changing within ±75K over the entire power range in color temperature mode, which is perfect for true-to-life color rendering.

Two Power Supply Methods

The Godox AD400 Pro comes with two power supply methods, making it flexible and easy to use. The 21.6V/2600mAh large capacity professional lithium battery pack provides 390 full power flashes and recycles in 0.01-1 second. On the other hand, you can purchase the Godox AD-AC Power Source Adapter to freely choose DC or AC power sources. Having these two methods lets you choose the most convenient and affordable option depending on your shooting style.

Small, Light Weight, and Portable

The Godox AD400Pro weighs only 2.1Kg with a small size of 220*102*128 mm (without the flash tube and reflector). It’s a perfect travel companion for any outdoor photographer, thanks to its lightweight and compact design. Also, it's equipped with Type-C USB port to achieve firmware upgrades and 3.5 mm sync cord jack to achieve multiple sync triggering methods. This feature-packed flash is ready to go wherever you go.

Wide Mount Compatibility

The Godox AD400Pro comes with a Bowens Mount Adapter Ring, making it convenient to install Bowens-mount accessories. You can remove the adapter ring and use the Godox-mount to install much lighter and portable accessories, allowing you to enjoy the outdoor scene without dragging too much equipment. You can also purchase adapter rings of other brands to replace more accessories such as Broncolor, Profoto, Elinchrom, etc.

Conclusion

Its impressive compatibility is a plus for those who own multiple brands of cameras, and its all-in-one design makes it easy to use.
