Hello mate, i really liked your video on these studio strobe lights, however i do have a question. Im currently using a entry level Canon EOS 77d camera with a YONGNUO YN-E3-RT II trigger, will any of these strobes be able to work with my setup?
FINALLY! Somebody talks about the DPIII . Its so hard to find youtube reviews for these, or even on Facebook Forums. Hope you guys do a review on the DPIII Series alone. Thanks!!!
Explained clearly and very informative! This video is basically all I need to start choosing a Godox strobe as it gave me all the insight I need on each series. Really appreciate this type of content
It would be really useful to see a comparison for colour variance/consistency. I know the SK400 is 5600 +\- 200 and I’ve used a set for a couple of years and I’ve seen that it can be a bit inconsistent at times.
Can you explain why Godox makes their firmware upgrades to so difficult? Can’t we just go on their website, plug in the device, click on the product we need to update and have the firmware go directly to the device?
It's a great unit for the price! We've just posted a video about the MS300-V here if you wanted to check it out th-cam.com/video/tfUe17bcAV4/w-d-xo.html
Question: are they getting hot/warm after a lot of shots? Im doing macro photography and making sometimes more as 200 shots in a stack. Is it getting hot/warm then?
Very informative video and I enjoyed it. Just one question left unanswered though. I'm looking for 300 series light just for indoors portraits. I'm not interested in HSS but I would like to be able to use a Nikon FM2 at 1/250th second shutter speed to control ambient light for film portraits. The camera will synch at that speed but will the light? Will all or any of these support that?
I own godox camara on flash like godox ttl 865II, but i am thinking about some sotbox and better light, i have small home fotostudio, i shoot family and children, what would you recommend for me: light and softbox? Thanks!
Go for a larger octagon softbox if you have space, like the 120cm octagon softbox. If you're mostly indoors then the SK400II is a great starting point moving from speedlites, otherwise if you're after a light that can be used outdoors too take a look at the Godox AD300Pro / Godox AD400Pro.
Hi, I currently have 3 different Yongnuo Speedlight Flashes with remote triggers. I'm realizing that they do not produce enough power in some situation, and they don't offer strobes. I see you have similar Speedlights, and many more options. I'm trying to figure out which would be best for me. I want them to be powerful, portable (battery powered, or ideally either battery or AC when I'm in my home studio) and easily attach a variety of modifiers. I can't quite figure out the differences between all the product lines, AD, QT, SK, AR, etc. I have Nikon cameras, and trying to figure out what option I should invest in
No Elinchrom alternatives unfortunately. Most Godox flashes are Bowens mount and/or Godox mount. You can purchase Elinchrom-to-Bowens adapter rings if you're using Elinchrom lighting modifiers.
Hi there, yes you can. A consideration you'll need to have is that not all models share the same features. You'll be using the set up mainly in manual mode and recycle times might be slightly different between units.
It would be based mostly on Lux output for continuous lighting rather than watts for flash. Depending on how well your camera does in low light situations then we find that 2x 300W lights such as the Godox VL300 work well for a standard 3x3m space.
Hi, I have recently bought 2 Godox MS200 studio strobes which came along with XT 16 trigger (only) both the strobes flashes in sync when I mount the trigger on camera.However I'm not able to change the setting of these strobes from the trigger. Please can you guide ? Also, I have Godox TT 520 II as well, but I'm not able to sync it along with the strobes. Please kindly guide.
I’m mainly a landscape photographer so I rarely need flash for that, but occasionally I shoot cultural events both video and stills. For that I would need such a flash that also has a modeling light usable also for video. Which one do you recommend? The AD 400 pro might be too strong(maybe 300 or 200 W would be enough)...and the AD 400 pro fan noise could be a problem for video even with a directional mic...
Tbh, you'd be better suited by the new FV200 that Godox introduced if an all-in-one solution is what you need. Modeling lights really aren't well suited for video work- they're somewhat low power, hot, and their color temp is quite warm.
PS- the fans on the AD series aren't a problem sound wise. You have to be flashing them near constantly for the fans to even turn on. BUT... The modeling lights on the AD series are almost useless for video work. Their power output ranges from ~9w to ~25w whereas even the models shown in this video had mostly 150w modeling lights. Get the tools designed for the job you're looking for and best of luck.
Thanks for the information It is very helpful, I just have 2 questions please. May I know which is better QT600 II or FV 200 Also I would like to know if the modeling light in the QT600II is strong enough to give a proper help. I am currently using the AD Pro model and they are very week in modeling lights, they are not helping me to decide especially when shooting Glossy products.
They're 2 different flashes as the QT600IIM is a traditional fresnel flash whereas the FV200 is an LED flash. If you'll be dabbling in a bit of video the FV200 is a good versatile light that will work for stills and videos. The downside is it's nowhere near the same output as the QT600IIM. The QT600IIM is strictly a studio flash.
Still very confusing product lineups... seems like there's a lot of overlap in the lower segments to the point where it seemlingy doesn't matter which series you buy. EDIT: a much better comparison th-cam.com/video/guS96ufKk_8/w-d-xo.html
Excellent video. I had never really looked any further than the Godox AD series of battery-powered strobes, but these really do meet a lot of the same requirements I want those for, essentially just with a cable. I can see one or two of these in my near future. Thanks!!
Hi! thanks for this video! full of info. I have a doubt about qualitys and series, I have the QTII series (600w) but I feel that I dont use all functions to much like super speed shots to freeze action or the mask function that includes. Im series thinking to sell it and downgrade to the new DPIII series, the difference that I will note between these 2 series lights accord to my use (because never use in HSS mode or mask mode) its basically the stops (1/64 vs 1/128) the weight and size, the flash dumping when change power and the little advantage in recycle time (0.9 sec vs 1.0 sec almost nothing) so well I want to know if you recomend this flash against the QT600II or if you can tell me another difference that I will note? I use it for portrait and fashion work. I dont shoot fast motion shots, even never use it the multi mode LOL! well hope you can resolve my doubt. Thanks!
I don't really feel like I learned the difference between any of the flashes from this video. They all seem to basically have the same or similar specs. Some more info on the differences would have been helpful.
They are all subtle differences: 1. How much output do you need? Not all flashes are available in higher output versopms 2. Flash duration 3. Recycle time 4. Build quality 5. HSS / No HSS Watch the video through and you'll see the comparison tables then our recommendations towards the end
Thorough Info... Thanks! Just 1 question though - Does this studio strobe have an auto-dump feature? [e.g. auto-discharging the capacitor when changing from a higher power to a lower power]
Hello good morning, I follow you on TH-cam and now on Instagram. congratulations I appeal your excellent content. I have a question regarding studio flashes, I would like to know if you can help me. I already have an AD400PRO that I use to do my jobs and I would like to add two more flashes. I'm considering choosing the QS400II or SK400II but in the reviews I see that the maximum sync speed is 1/2000 against 1/8000 of the AD400PRO. many of the photos I take are at 1/3200 speeds. my question is, if i use the QS4000II or SK400II will i be really limited to a maximum speed of 1/2000?
Great video. Thanks so much. Please I need a favor, Godox Ms300, Ds300/400, SK300ii/400ii and De300/400 which one should I go for it. Because I'm a little bit confused. Kindly Choose one for me.
Came here for the differences between the series, got 5x about the same story (bowens mount, umbrella mount, adjustible in 0.1 increments, etc). OK, except for the higher ends, and the recycle times: please explain what the differences are!!
I’m mainly a landscape photographer so I rarely need flash for that, but occasionally I shoot cultural events both video and stills.

The AD 400 pro might be too strong(maybe 300 or 200 W would be enough)...and the AD 400 pro fan noise could be a problem for video even with a directional mic...
You may want to take a look at hybrid LED lights such as the Godox FV150 / FV200 that function as a continuous light for video and flash for photography. The LED flash doesn't compare to a standard xenon flash's output but with HSS it may suit your type of photography.
@@photo-markus PS- the 'HSS' of the FV series kinda sucks. The flash duration of the FVs is actually longer than 1/200s at full power, meaning you can't freeze particularly fast action and that effective power output decreases rapidly as your shutter speed increases. They're still probably your best option for an all-in-one unit but you should know the limitations going in.
This Video helped me a lot, thank you very much. One question: If there is no HSS explicitly noted, but flash-duration is up to 1/2000... does that mean, that my shutterspeed can be up to 1/2000?
That value, is for flash duration, not slash synchronization. That means, the flash will fire at maximum of 1/2000 speed. We need that to freeze motion. Because, if you shoot in a dark studio, even with a high shutter speed, what matters, and what gonna freeze the object, is the flash duration. The higher power percentage you use (1/1,1/2 for example), the longer flash duration you get (bad for freezing motion). The AD600 unit, has 1/10.000sec flash duration, at minimal power. And only 1/200 at maximum. Check this video th-cam.com/video/xZt-wBAqyjg/w-d-xo.html
I am doing water drop / water collision photography. Currently I am using a couple of speedlites however, I am still getting some motion blur. Is there a Strobe that you would suggest and why thanks
Im going to do food photography on restaurants. And i think the MS300 is a more than good option. But i do have a question Is it compatible with the 80x80 tulip square by godox ? is there a way to make it compatible. I know there are other bowens mount, but being collapsible is always better .
thanks a lot for tyour great content and thorough reviews and comparison, could you please do a review on the godox light shapers, I have found no reviews whatsoever on these.
Neither work outdoors and need to be plugged into mains power. If your require to be completely wire-free outdoors then the AD300Pro would be the equivalent flash.
What light setup will you recommend for dance photography? Can 3 ad200pro will do the job. Considering the need of flash duration? Or what else you recoment. To set up a dance photography studio with godox lights.
AD200Pros can get the job done with a flash duration of 1/15,380 sec however if you're after a more powerful studio light setup we'd recommend the new Godox QT600IIIM.
great review. thanks for great information for me a beginner. thus as I have understand they don't have rechargeable battery. am looking for some strobe with external rechargeable battery. do you think I can find a strobe with rechargeable battery with almost the same price range? can be 200 euro higher price. the output can be 300 or 400w. thanks in advance
What you should have focused more on: stable color temp+ hue, t.1 flash duration, masking modes, accuracy of power output across fraction range, and stereostrobic modes.
Thanks for the feedback! Would definitely make the video a lot more detailed and longer than it already is, but we can arrange a follow up video with some of these advanced features / metrics for those that are interested!
@@hypop Just my 2 cents. Viewers can pretty quickly catch on to the naming/power scheme Godox uses and have probably already looked up the price of a few of these units by the time they find your video. It's all the other features that actually make one line stand out from one another. Still, it's nice to at least have them sorted in a video like this.
Hey, great video thanks ! Do you know if the any of these (especially the DP iii) are compatible with the trigger Neewer NT1 (s) ? And could I attach my softbox Godox SB-UE 80cm to it ? Thanks a lot!! :)
I’m in the market for 2 lights. The lights will be used with 1’x4’ strip boxes with grids, set up about two feet from the model at 45 degree angles pointed at the models nose. There will be black flags on either side of the models head. Shooting with Fuji GW690ii 6x9 90mm f/3.5. What flash would you recommend? Would two SK400 ll be enough for this set up?
which one of those strobes would you recommend for food photography? I want to shoot video as well, the flash atm is not an option. Thank you in advance! :)

Hi Rob @Hypop, Thank you for you precious reviews. What is best to buy between Godox DP400III and GODOX QS400II? What are main differences?

Thanks! We'll definitely work a video of the DPIII series. Great flash overall and our pick in this video :)
@@hypop Thank you! Do you have to dump flash when changing power? DP400III
Explained clearly and very informative! This video is basically all I need to start choosing a Godox strobe as it gave me all the insight I need on each series. Really appreciate this type of content
I actually bought Dp 400 111 without understanding what I bought till I finished watching your video. Thank you
Glad it helped!
This is pretty much the best "any brand lineup explanation" video I've ever seen.
I completely agree
Thank you !!!! your video was exactly what I needed , super clear and well organized to understand all the options ! THANK YOU
It would be really useful to see a comparison for colour variance/consistency.
I know the SK400 is 5600 +\- 200 and I’ve used a set for a couple of years and I’ve seen that it can be a bit inconsistent at times.
This is what I’m here looking for.
Same here, I use sk300 ii & sk400 ii for shooting focus stacking and got inconsistency power output
Thank you for the helpful and informative comparison video!
Glad it was helpful!
Thanx man...just got my QT600II.
I still have alot to learn
Damn
You are really good at this. Thanks for the reviews. Keep going !
Appreciate the feedback
Yooo i just found ur channel and saw this video. This was great, thank you!!!

Still confused to buy ms 300 or sk 300ii, or just waiting a new one maybe in 2021 and i feel it will happen,which you recomended?
thank you very much friend. this video helped me make the right choice for me. it is a pity that there is no such video about godox constant light
Glad it helped! We have a video on constant lights here: th-cam.com/video/hPyQHZ3xH2U/w-d-xo.html

Question: are they getting hot/warm after a lot of shots? Im doing macro photography and making sometimes more as 200 shots in a stack. Is it getting hot/warm then?
Very informative video and I enjoyed it. Just one question left unanswered though. I'm looking for 300 series light just for indoors portraits. I'm not interested in HSS but I would like to be able to use a Nikon FM2 at 1/250th second shutter speed to control ambient light for film portraits. The camera will synch at that speed but will the light? Will all or any of these support that?
I want to do powder dance photography. What flash would be best?
Is there also a portable battery one for outdoor location shoots?
Great video!
Thanks - glad you enjoyed it!
Dp600ii consume too much current. Finding it difficult to cope adding undew pressure on my generator.
Great video. I have one question. if the power output of the flash light said 400W, is same with the power consumption also 400W?
I own godox camara on flash like godox ttl 865II, but i am thinking about some sotbox and better light, i have small home fotostudio, i shoot family and children, what would you recommend for me: light and softbox? Thanks!
Go for a larger octagon softbox if you have space, like the 120cm octagon softbox. If you're mostly indoors then the SK400II is a great starting point moving from speedlites, otherwise if you're after a light that can be used outdoors too take a look at the Godox AD300Pro / Godox AD400Pro.
Looking for outdoors
Hi Mate
I have the Sony A6600. Can I use the SK400ii and how to use the camera a remote when taking photos without using the hot shoe
You'll need to at least have a trigger on the hot shoe otherwise you can an optional PC sync to 3.5mm cable if you'd prefer to be connected by cable.

Thanks for useful information.. I have query , do these strobes comes with elinchrom mount also?
No Elinchrom alternatives unfortunately. Most Godox flashes are Bowens mount and/or Godox mount. You can purchase Elinchrom-to-Bowens adapter rings if you're using Elinchrom lighting modifiers.
Are the connection parts at the bottom of the flash plastic or metal in dp600 series?
can you recommend a strobe that puts out its advertised guide number or say f56 at 1m 100 iso etc?
Is it possible to mix up different series in one setup? For example two AD600 Pro with one QT1200III ?
Hi there, yes you can. A consideration you'll need to have is that not all models share the same features. You'll be using the set up mainly in manual mode and recycle times might be slightly different between units.
@@hypop wow thank you for the fast Response! Incredible work and super helpful videos, thank you :)
Does Sk400 ii have HSS feature?
Maybe I just missed it, but does all of these flashes support high speed sync?
Hey there, only the Godox QT models support high speed sync.
@@hypop Thank you!
well wait whats even the difference between ds and gs?
what continuous light watts should I use for a 3m x 3m space?

I’m mainly a landscape photographer so I rarely need flash for that, but occasionally I shoot cultural events both video and stills. For that I would need such a flash that also has a modeling light usable also for video. Which one do you recommend? The AD 400 pro might be too strong(maybe 300 or 200 W would be enough)...and the AD 400 pro fan noise could be a problem for video even with a directional mic...
You may want to take a look at hybrid LED lights such as the Godox FV150 / FV200 that function as a continuous light for video and flash for photography. The LED flash doesn't compare to a standard xenon flash's output but with HSS it may suit your type of photography.
Thks a lot!
@@photo-markus PS- the 'HSS' of the FV series kinda sucks. The flash duration of the FVs is actually longer than 1/200s at full power, meaning you can't freeze particularly fast action and that effective power output decreases rapidly as your shutter speed increases.
They're still probably your best option for an all-in-one unit but you should know the limitations going in.
This Video helped me a lot, thank you very much. One question: If there is no HSS explicitly noted, but flash-duration is up to 1/2000... does that mean, that my shutterspeed can be up to 1/2000?
That value, is for flash duration, not slash synchronization. That means, the flash will fire at maximum of 1/2000 speed. We need that to freeze motion. Because, if you shoot in a dark studio, even with a high shutter speed, what matters, and what gonna freeze the object, is the flash duration. The higher power percentage you use (1/1,1/2 for example), the longer flash duration you get (bad for freezing motion).
The AD600 unit, has 1/10.000sec flash duration, at minimal power. And only 1/200 at maximum.

simply stated, you folks are truly a wonderful recouce.
I am doing water drop / water collision photography. Currently I am using a couple of speedlites however, I am still getting some motion blur. Is there a Strobe that you would suggest and why
thanks
Im going to do food photography on restaurants. And i think the MS300 is a more than good option. But i do have a question Is it compatible with the 80x80 tulip square by godox ? is there a way to make it compatible. I know there are other bowens mount, but being collapsible is always better .
Thanks for the great tips!
Glad it was helpful!
7:04 the weights of the MS200 and 300 is wrong, they both weigh 1.32kg & 1.36kg not 2.6kg that you've added!
thanks a lot for tyour great content and thorough reviews and comparison, could you please do a review on the godox light shapers, I have found no reviews whatsoever on these.
Thanks for the feedback. We'll work on a comparison of the Godox light shapers too!
@@hypop thanks so much, keep up the great content
Hey there! thanks for the video. Just a quick question; Godox QT600IIM and Godox QT600II are two different models? what is the difference?
Yes, they're actually just the same model. Sometimes people refer to it just as the QT600II however officially it's the QT600IIM
I have ad200pro and V1 i want guide for studio photography flash. Please suggest me flash for studio photography. I have 1000 sqft area.
I think a DP400III-V is a good all-rounder studio flash that you can work together with the AD200Pro and V1. If budget allows get 2x 400W strobes.
how to enable the hss on dpiii? i have it but cant do it
Thanks a lot for the tutorial my man, just grabbed a set for our company. They are great lights even in 2023
ms300 or sk300
can i use qs 400 II monolight to start a studio
Hey hypop would you recomend ms300 or sk300 for mobile studio shoot? Outdoors shooting. Thanks
Neither work outdoors and need to be plugged into mains power. If your require to be completely wire-free outdoors then the AD300Pro would be the equivalent flash.
Make video on shooting video with modelling lamp of flash light .
Is it possible to shoot video using 2 sk400 flash with lower iso?
I hope you guys do a review of HSS on Godox DPIII Series. Thanks!!!
Will be releasing our unboxing and review of the DPIII series soon!
It's such a confusing line up with so many options. Great video!!! Thanks!
Glad it was helpful!
What light setup will you recommend for dance photography? Can 3 ad200pro will do the job. Considering the need of flash duration? Or what else you recoment. To set up a dance photography studio with godox lights.
AD200Pros can get the job done with a flash duration of 1/15,380 sec however if you're after a more powerful studio light setup we'd recommend the new Godox QT600IIIM.
great review. thanks for great information for me a beginner. thus as I have understand they don't have rechargeable battery. am looking for some strobe with external rechargeable battery.
do you think I can find a strobe with rechargeable battery with almost the same price range? can be 200 euro higher price. the output can be 300 or 400w.
thanks in advance
so the dp400111 cand handle high speed sync and will it work with xpro trigger?
What you should have focused more on: stable color temp+ hue, t.1 flash duration, masking modes, accuracy of power output across fraction range, and stereostrobic modes.
Thanks for the feedback! Would definitely make the video a lot more detailed and longer than it already is, but we can arrange a follow up video with some of these advanced features / metrics for those that are interested!
@@hypop Just my 2 cents. Viewers can pretty quickly catch on to the naming/power scheme Godox uses and have probably already looked up the price of a few of these units by the time they find your video. It's all the other features that actually make one line stand out from one another. Still, it's nice to at least have them sorted in a video like this.
what makes the SK400ii $139.00 better than the GS400ii $161.10?
Hey, great video thanks ! Do you know if the any of these (especially the DP iii) are compatible with the trigger Neewer NT1 (s) ? And could I attach my softbox Godox SB-UE 80cm to it ? Thanks a lot!! :)
I’m in the market for 2 lights. The lights will be used with 1’x4’ strip boxes with grids, set up about two feet from the model at 45 degree angles pointed at the models nose. There will be black flags on either side of the models head. Shooting with Fuji GW690ii 6x9 90mm f/3.5. What flash would you recommend? Would two SK400 ll be enough for this set up?
Great ... 🤙
po no vejo
Anyone know the compatibility of the SK400II and HSS - is it supported with a Sony a6400 and X1T trigger?
Will pocket wizard 3work with Godox? Thanks
Yes, they will however you'll need to plug the receiver into the sync port via cable.
Please advise which ones support HSS please. I have an E250 atm and I can only shoot at 1/125 shutter. Looking to upgrade
What would be a good strobe for product photography within budget range and what flash sync remote would be best for Nikon cameras
which one of those strobes would you recommend for food photography? I want to shoot video as well, the flash atm is not an option. Thank you in advance! :)
Спасибо. Наконец то благодаря вам разобрался в иерархии вспышек Godex. Буду покупать Godox DP400III.
hi may i know between godox ad360 and ad200 which one is more power full and good for out door hss .. thank you
who do you call for customer service with Godox.
You would have to go directly back to the retailer you purchased from or try contacting through their website godox.com
Would you recommend me one for outdoor photography?
Take a look at Godox's Witstro range (battery operated flashes) if you're looking for a flash for outdoor photography - th-cam.com/video/pJMQVbMwCeY/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=Hypop
Thanks for this video. Between the Godox De300 and the Ms300 which would you recommend?
I'm having a hard time deciding
