this was one of the most informative and helpful videos i have ever watched on youtube. he went over everything perffectly and helped me figure out this product. my goodness i am just gonna keep coming back to this.. its a video manual . perfect
Good video with a lot of information. It seems a significant way they could make this alternative a standout in the lineup would be to allow an a/c connection for situations where power might be available and either you run out of charged batteries or you need to use it all day on a longer shoot. That coupled with a more usable modeling lamp would make this one distinct in the lineup instead of a half step in between the 200 and 400. Thanks again.
You helped me a lot with the video to understand the advanced modes. I would love to get a more detailed explanation about F4 AND F5. And I have a problem when I activate F6, it doesn't appear on my screen, I'm in M mode
Robert, I'm wondering if this makes sense to have. I was thinking that maybe a "best practices" and/or "how to use most efficiently" video might be useful. I.e. why is color stabilization important, etc? I'd like to see this with the AD300 in a real world setting - perhaps on a BTS shoot?
Nice in depth review. I got my godox ad300 pro and did a few photoshoots on my channel lol no time to waste haha. Nice video tho, im loving the light so far.
Robert, you noted that in HSS the ad300 measures as having a .4 green cast. Would you recommend planning to use a filer such as a Rosco 249 1/4 Minus Green or 279 1/8 Minus Green? Is the cast in HSS enough to make it worth correction Ito avoid issues in Post with background to subject correction?). Any hints are appreciated. Also, have you found any options for easy filter holders on the ad300 pro? I see some "do it yourself" 3-D printing and of course pre-cut gels but wow, a holder like the magnetic ones for other lights would sure be welcome. Thanks for any hints or advice! PS - When I check Lee I think the options might be as you suggested for the ad100 pro and the V1 (803 and 804 respectively)
Do you know how to disassemble the GODOX AD300 PRO? I drop mine and not flashing anymore. I replaced the bulb and didn't help. Display and continuous light work properly. I can't find any info. Thank you
Thank you for such a thorough run-through of the product! I believe I have a question... I am using a Canon 430exiii rt flash and wondering that is applicable for an optical slave as you mentioned?
Color in detail in my review (Clip : th-cam.com/users/clipUgkx4FfPxPP5J9niT2Z8OojEhXQS5960Km7X . There is a tiny .1G color correction at some power levels, but even a 1/8 plus green correction gel would overcompensate.
Hey Buddy great video.. but I did not see you talking about High speed sync! I got this item from amazon last days! But my high speed sync turned off everytime I took one photo! Why its happening? I have an A7R4 and put speed sync on from the trigger, but on the flashpoint goes off everything you shoot the first photo! Can you check with your device, the trigger still on, but device goes off after the first attempt! Let me know Thank you! Dhyogo
Im kinda intrested in the hyper sync, since this strobe at full power has pretty long flash duration. Is there anyway I can keep the trigger in HSS mode, but keep the strobe in normal 1/1 power?
I just bought the Godox 95mm softbox but the flashpoint 300 doesn't fit in the bracket. Is there an adapter or do I just have to use the speedlight with the softbox?
Just brought the AD 100 but I am having difficulties getting more that one flash when synched! When I depress the synch button, I get the synch sign but after one flash it goes off and I have to depress the button again. Can you say what I may be doing wrong?
Hey, thanks for the guides man, really helpful. Quick question and apologies if been covered before - is there a dedicated set of gels (mainly CTO) for the 300 or could you suggest an alternative? Thanks again!
I’m a little bit confused about the custom function F3, so if it’s on off mode, that means the flash will not go for standby at all? It will be on all the time? My ad200 pro go for Standby automatically after certain of time.
Thanks Robert! I just received my ad300pro and s85s and can't figure out how to gel ad300. I know there is flashgels pack, but unfortunately they don't sell it in Russia. Do you know if there is any DIY way to gel godox mount lights?
Question: I just got my ad300pro (as in just unboxed it 30 minutes ago) and the test flash won't fire. The modeling lamp works so I know the bulb works but I can't find any information on why it won't fire. Any help is appreciated.
Hi Robert. Does the AD300 support TCM via the X-Pro-S trigger? In my trigger menu (latest firmware v1.3) it only show option for the speed lights, AD200, AD360 and AD600. What do you set if you have anAD300, or for that matter, an AD400?
Steve have you figured this out? I'll test it out today as I've just picked up an AD300pro. See if different TCM settings (speedlite, 200j, 360j, 600j) make a difference. I guess it comes down to 1/128 or 1/256 smallest flash output and stepping.
Just figured it out. Cranked up the ISO to 1600 (to make sure flash uses the smallest output) and stuck my left foot up in front of the softbox. In speedlite and 360j mode TCM gave 1/256 conversion, while in 200j and 600j modes it converted the minimal flash output to 1/1 which is apparently incorrect. At full flash output all you get is a white frame... So I'll just leave it on speedlite TCM mode.
@@lmhkt Yes thanks. I’ve been using the AD300 for some time now and often take the first shot with TTL then convert it to manual using the TCM feature, and then fine tune in manual mode from then on. Thanks anyway

Thank you Ryan. This video helped me reset my strobe so I could finally control it
just setting up my black friday purchase. as always, thanks for the effort and the sharing. i am an appreciative subscriber. thumbs up.

Thanks this answered lots questions for us!
Great product explainer. You've helped me make a decision.
Thanks for this, I just got this beautiful little flash.
i think such video was needed, really...
You helped me a lot with the video to understand the advanced modes.
I would love to get a more detailed explanation about F4 AND F5.

awesome info / good pace, thanks so much for covering the functions - should be receiving this light in a couple days

Hands down best review. Thank you.
Very helpful. Got my ad300 yesterday!
Great explanation on all the functions!!! Thank you!

Thanks, man! Really appreciate all the tutorials!
Thanks a lot♥️♥️
Very good! Thank you for sharing!
thank you Rob, that was very informative
Wow, really need this.
Thanks for all the great Guide videos,,,, will you be doing a comparison of the AD300 with the Profoto B10 similar to the AD400 comparison?
Do you know how to disassemble the GODOX AD300 PRO? I drop mine and not flashing anymore. I replaced the bulb and didn't help. Display and continuous light work properly. I can't find any info. Thank you
Very helpful! Thank you!
Thanks!
Turns out the AD 200 battery provides longer recycling time when used with ad 300 Pro. So better use the battery for AD 300 pro
I finally bought this. Yes I thought it was way overpriced. But the size kept me wanting one. I love my ad400 but damn it’s too heavy and huge.
Any thoughts on the 300?
@@gutenbird it’s what I use now. It’s a great perfect size and has its own soft boxes
Thanks
Great description
Great review of this light does it have any color cast issues like the ad100 snd v1
Thanks! Do you have one for the 100?
Thank you for such a thorough run-through of the product! I believe I have a question... I am using a Canon 430exiii rt flash and wondering that is applicable for an optical slave as you mentioned?
Thanks! Very helpful.
Anyone know if this can be used plugged in or is it only battery operated?
There are reports of a color cast in the AD300? Could you do a video on color correcting (and whether it is needed or not?)
Color in detail in my review (Clip : th-cam.com/users/clipUgkx4FfPxPP5J9niT2Z8OojEhXQS5960Km7X .
There is a tiny .1G color correction at some power levels, but even a 1/8 plus green correction gel would overcompensate.
Just got mine. I can't believe how small it is.
What's the comparison in true light out put between this and using 2 ad200s in the dual head?
Great Video!
perfect. Thank you!
What’s is the thing with this light and food photography?
Hey Buddy great video.. but I did not see you talking about High speed sync!

For food photography would you suggest this over Ad200 pro?
I don't see how one would significantly impact the work over the other.
Me too ?
Very useful video

How's the modeling lamp? Is it useful in a studio setting or is it fairly weak? Thanks Rob.
Hey, thanks for the guides man, really helpful. Quick question and apologies if been covered before - is there a dedicated set of gels (mainly CTO) for the 300 or could you suggest an alternative? Thanks again!
There is - BD-10 - but it isnt available for purchase yet...
Can I fit the ad300 on glow parapop 38 octabox? Or I do need the adapter
Love this. Curious if the v1 can be used as a trigger?
of course it can.
I’m a little bit confused about the custom function F3, so if it’s on off mode, that means the flash will not go for standby at all? It will be on all the time? My ad200 pro go for Standby automatically after certain of time.
Yes, if standby is off, then it will not turn off regardless of how long it hasn't been fired.
Thanks Robert! I just received my ad300pro and s85s and can't figure out how to gel ad300. I know there is flashgels pack, but unfortunately they don't sell it in Russia. Do you know if there is any DIY way to gel godox mount lights?
sure, just cut something that could be banded down to the glass shape, like a cross.
@@robhallphoto Thanks a lot, works perfectly
Do they make bumpers in multiple colors to protect AD300?
Flashpoint does.
Hi! Does it have an ac adapter?
What’s the custom function F3 auto meaning? I understand the time you can set but what’s the auto meaning?
Auto standby, as in the flash will automatically enter standby after a certain amount of time (30, 60 or 90 minutes).
@@robhallphoto so what the "auto" if I need to set the time? You mean after I set the time it "auto" standby???
@@robhallphoto I didn't set up the time in my ad200 pro since day one, and it's going to standby after few min just by it self..
Another thing that I noticed ,as soon as I turn on the flash it turns off and then I have to turn it on again , Anybody else have issue with that?
Question: I just got my ad300pro (as in just unboxed it 30 minutes ago) and the test flash won't fire. The modeling lamp works so I know the bulb works but I can't find any information on why it won't fire. Any help is appreciated.
Did you figure this out? I just unboxed mine too and I have the same issue.
@@gretaclark320 Yes! I realized it came with a broken bulb... so I had to exchange it for a new one.

Any tips on gelling this strobe ?
Flashgels.com is the only precision system for it. Otherwise you can DIY it.
