Generally you are one of the most precise and detailed mentors on the web, that's fantastic review which will encourage me to by this moonlight, can't thank you enough
This video is so right about so many youtube channels and how they create and not tell us all of their gear and how they set it up . Thank you for making this video
Actually, I find the opposite is true. So many YT channels go on and on about the gear and never go into the ideas, the whys behind photography. Even worse, they talk about all the functions of gear and never share their actual work, which often if you scratch beneath the surface really isn't all that good.
Seriously too good too good explanation nd Comparision.. The way You teach how to use Flash step by step in diffrent condition is out standing... Relly Helpful.. Keep it up Sir...
I don't know why I didn't subscribe earlier. Yet here I am, a new subscriber of your channel. I got a heart attack when I saw the price of broncolor 😔. My happiness is back, and I feel relief for this! Thank you very much.
wowww excellent review sir, I'm thinking of getting me one of these Godox now I'm convinced! Also, this is the very first time I've completed watching a review in full, amazing! thank you for sharing!
This light is amazing for shooting outside as I do with most shoots on my channel. But especially for overpowering the sun, with this light you get remarkable lighting and images as well as great recharge time and battery power!
The only youtube that tells the truth about the lower (1.3 stops) power output of the pro compared to the 600. Other youtube vids. make other claims that they are equal without proving it. ie. not using a flash meter. Many thanks for an excellent, objective and honest presentation.
Frankly saying....this topic bounced over the head specially first half. Very Very advanced for majority of us. One more request please don't jump topics like this, please proceed in a series. It will will good for learners and easy for you to make videos. Thanks
Greetings from Canada. This is one of the best videos I’ve seen comparing the two AD-600’s. My only feedback would be to have shown the AD-600 at 1/4 & 1/128 when measuring WB, f, & CRI. Both were compared at 1/1 but only the pro was demonstrated at other values. Other than that, excellent video. Very methodical and easy to follow.
Thank you Mike for your feedback... We did test the consistency of AD600 at 1/4 and 1/128. And they are comparable to AD600Pro. Didn't include that portion in the video since the length of the video was going out of control! As you can see, it is already 21 minutes!
Hi Mike, I'm in Canuk too and bought the Godox AD600 in the US from B&H. From what I can figure the equivalent light is sold here relabelled as" Strobepro" - just google their site. They also have some excellent demo videos.
Krishna your video is comprehensive and very detailed. It made me change my mind and buy ad600 pro instead of the ad600. Congrats on making a great video and keep up the good work :)
Fantastic video.... as you always do! Another EXTREMELY important feature is the Bowens-type mount which opens up a really big world of potential light modifiers. That is very, very nice. By the way, I am extremely jealous of all of your Sekonic gear. You have no idea how much I have always wanted to have a spectrometer to play with. Oh well. I can just watch yours on RU-vid.
Sir I m from Pakistan. Learning Photography for last 6 months by tutorials on youTube. I have Canon Eos 80d. TPB is The photography Bloger (Hindi). I m also of same age as you are.
Suleman Syed Really happy to receive your feedback. Please do not hesitate to ask incase if you have any doubts. I shall try to answer to the best of my abilities. You may mail me at radha@pixelviilage.com. 🙏 😊
simply wow....Amazed.. :) Once Again Radhakrishnan sir ans team... very well done towards explaining... If icould buy some time out of this busy world, i would like to join and learn from you more and more.. Keep going.. you are simply Great.. :)
Each time i watch your video i conclude that ad600b is a better proposition. I find it hard to justify investing in ad600 pro, less power, slight variation in color accuracy. Most photographers colour grade their pictures anyway. The ad600bm is between 35k to 38k and ad600 pro is between 47k to 50k, quite a hefty difference there. If i invest in ad600b then i can get both the trigger and that 120cm deep parabolic softbox with grid in the price of ad600 pro. I like your honest review and the fact that you didn't fudge the numbers. This induces respect. Thanks for making this intuitive and informative video. It is of great help. Thanks and regards from Prayag.
Really great review covering all of the finer points about the light. I am a photographer with 11 years of experience working full time. I have many studio light but want to add more light with high speed sync capability. This review answered all my questions. Thank you
Hello, it would be nice if you add the name of the model in your video description details. This is a very nice alternative to the much more expensive studio flashes. As always, a very good tutorial.
Thanks so much for this. One thing I'd not considered is the modeling light wattage. The AD600BM has a 10W modeling lamp too like the AD600, whereas the AD400Pro has a 30W modeling lamp closer to the 38W of the AD600Pro, 3-4X the former. I was pretty set on getting the AD600BM until learning this. Now I'm strongly considering paying a bit more for the AD400Pro. The 600Pro is still out of my price range as of now, but I may get the 400 instead of 600 so I can have that higher powered modeling lamp, the trade off being 200W power. Camera gear is always full of decisions!
Battery operated flashes are primarily meant to be used on location and not in the studio. And such situations, power of the flash will be more important than the power of the modelling lamp. Because even if you have a 500W modelling lamp, it still will be useless in outdoor shoots. Hence, I will out my money for more flash power than the LED light's brightness. 🙏
A 30+ watt modeling light will drain your batteries way faster, if a modeling lamp is so important to you these are not the right lights to be looking at
ATG stated that the 1 F-Stop lower was due to the insert lamp protector, which is also used on Profoto B1. The lamp protector has silver coated but due to the closeness of the flashtube, there is no angle projected outward like a disc like surfaces. But if you remove the lamp protector and place the ATG Gold 1X Reflector, then you will get 2 F-Stops! So for beginners, amateurs up to pro using strobe, the reflector is really important. Kinda like using a pressure washer, the nozzle is very important if you need good results. PIXEL VILLAGE, we don't like to use 500WS & lower because they just don't have the power. But they are market to beginners & amateurs that are stepping out from those weak candlelight speedlite. At the same time companies are paying reviewers to boost the 400ws by saying, they like to shoot with that lousy depth-of-field looks. FYI: for people that don't understand simple math in number. placing a diffusser over your flashtube (light). 2.5+ lost of light. we use simple number of 400. we know half of 400 is 200. and half of 200 is 100. are you still lost? off course not. so what is the number now when 2.5 is given? chime in if you know the answer. then add WS (watt second) at the end of the number.
Hello Friend! This was the best review I saw about Godox! Thanks! I would like your professional opinion. I produce outdoor photo shoots with models and sometimes in small studios. Do I need to buy the AD600Pro? Or will the AD400Pro model already meet my needs? Thanks!
Happy to hear that you liked the video. Since you are a professional, I will recommend the 600Pro. Two reasons 1. Since you are also shooting in daylight that additional Power will help. 2. Price difference is not much. Cheers... 👍
Thanks! Finally someone telling he truth about the pro losing at least one stop of light power over the ad600. Considering this, I would take godox ad600 over the pro any day. One stop of light is just too much sacrifice.
It was a great detailed video, after I finished watching it I searched ad600 pro on internet and I was like "Kaash mein yeh le pata.. " It's around 120k in pak rs.. Very much expensive
PIXEL VIILAGE Very very nice video. Thank you very much sir. You are an excellent photography Teacher. I like you and your nice voice and your PIXEL VIILAGE Channel. Thanks again.
I am annoyed by most tutorials ! YOU ARE VERY RELAXING.INFORMATIVE AND EASY TO UNDERSTAND! I go to India all the time and I loved hearing the honking-makes me miss India during covid! haha---For shooting skateboarders and models running and I love this hyper synch- Is the flash duration fast to catch details! I have an Elinchrome 72 in and Rotalux Octa and hope I can get adapter- Ive been deciding on Pro photo and Elinchrome and not happy with price- Mainly , light modifiers are SOOO expensive on pro! It seems this GODUX competes with those Pro photos at much cheaper price- OH another question- Is Bronocolor the only strobe (price of a house haha) that will shoot fast with no delays on full power? Thank you-oh PS- Ive heard that the FIRMWARE is only compatible with old WINDOWS computers? this is concerning as the communication with Camera and GO DUX is imperative
A truly educational video. Thank you!!!! Subscribed to learn more from you! Off to sell off my Elinchrom studio strobes to buy the XPLOR600Pro. I see no reason to hold on to old technology!
HSS means i wouldn't anymore need an ND filter to shoot outdoors wide open. Lovely. My Einsteins didn't allow this unless I used my NDs. Excited to get my unit!
Sir, thank you for such a wonderful and informative video. I look forward to seeing all your videos. Can you please let me know what light stands you are using for this video? Thanks again
brilliant video again sir!!! your voice so crisp and clear the price difference between these two is made me go with ad600 there is no huge difference in output but end of the day 200 shots may come in handy for budding photographers like me and the build quality in 600 pro is better than 600 but for newbies like me i think 600b is worth every penny !!! but professionals will get new gear anyway .. sir please do make some videos about compositions and lighting thank you sir :)
Another Very informative video Sir. Could you do a video on Capturing Motion Blur Artistically in mixed lighting to produce interesting and beautiful pictures. Thank you again for the excellent tutorials!!
