My new favorite flash is great for small outdoor portable wedding portrait photography. The ones I've always used are the Godox Flshpoint AD600 and Xplor 200. I returned the AD300 and AD400 I explain why in this video, but my new favorite flash for hiking, travel and outdoors is the tiny but powerful Godox AD100. Its simply amazing. In this video I compare flash power brightness output and different modifiers in the most harsh condition of bright midday outdoor sun. Can the AD100 Xxplor hold up against the sun? Can it actually overpower the sun? FIND OUT! You'll be amazed!

Your presentations are always entertaining and informative. You already sold me on the flexibility of using 4 x AD200 either split or paired together using AD-B2 from your other videos, so I'm sticking with them. Great video!

@maxellison55 Год назад

The reason you are my favorite photography equipment channel. You explain the product in plain language anyone can comprehend and have the genius to back up your opinion with tested, concise and honest research! No bigoted preconceived notions or bias. You can’t be bought by manufacturers as you normally purchase these items and don’t take free merchandise to bias your opinions. Yours is the very first channel I look to everyday for your newest content! Keep up the fantastic work and btw, your model ain’t bad either!!😅

@_HMCB_ Год назад

Exactly. And I mostly appreciate his real-world tests. I hate when RU-vidrs describe a product without actually showing how stuff irks in practice.

@JeffCreates Год назад

I can't get my head around the fact that your videos are so stuffed full of information and examples. Most RU-vidrs would have spent 5 minutes talking about that accessory kit, you breezed over it in a few seconds. So much value in your videos!

Thank you for this.

@headsethero5449 Год назад

Great video! And good point about ND filter vs HSS. It really is counter productive to bring a more powerful flash just to hamper it down with HSS. Although each photographer will prefer a different solution. It is a great reminder for photographers that want efficiency and mobility. Just bring a good ND filter and the AD100 is actually as powerful as the AD300/AD400 in HSS. With the ND filter being much lighter to bring.

@halbrownphoto Год назад

I really enjoy your presentations, keep up the good work. Having not read all the comments I can't be sure someone hasn't already mentioned it, but a couple of months ago I ordered a third 100 pro from Adorama. I contacted Shua in tech support and inquired about the color difference in the latest strobe vs the other two I already owned. Two days later I received two replacement front lenses at no charge. I've been dealing with Adorama as a source for their Flashpoint strobes for probably 5 years or more. I won't bore you with the details or a list of how many of their strobes I own, but for my money they are unbeatable for customer service and product support, at least on the flashpoint strobes.

@gbj6581 9 месяцев назад

Lol great video! Thanks, I've been shopping around for some studio lights and the AD100 seems perfect. I wanted to get big heavy ones, but now you make some great points. Mainly that since they work well enough for most situations, and are so light weight etc, your more likely to 1. use them and 2. be more creative and move them around. Big heavy strobes (with power cables for each one) are so cumbersome on set or location you hate moving them around. Great vid!

@WynterNZ Год назад

Thanks man, I have been trying to find a portable light set for my work and these look absolutely ideal with a AD200 .. :D

@donofman Год назад

This video was very helpful. I am planning on buying either a 200 or 100. I have been lucky enough to test out the 200 and it is nice. I am trying to get my friend to let me test the 100. I have seen it in action and I really like the form factor. I use 2 ad 600s often but they aren't for traveling. Your assessment of. The bigger flashes are spot on . I would have liked a little more depth about the baseball strobe on the ad200. I was very lose to just getting a 200 now I am going to revisit trying to test the 100.

@kingsamvisuals Год назад

The people that whine about low output are clueless. You can use an ND and disable high speed sync for full power. Manipulate the distance to subject if possible. The ad100 and tiny stand you did are a killer portable setup. We just need a small soft box.

@vonpotatostein Год назад

Thanks for this video Markus!!! I'm now thinking on picking an AD100 as a companion to my AD200! though I like having the peace of mind of having the AD200's extra fresnel head in case of an accident happening with the barebulb one!

@Anonymous99997 6 месяцев назад

Markus. Thank you for recommending the AD100. I already have an AD600, three AD200s and even a V860, but bought two AD100s and two Angler 28” softboxes for a Holiday party I was shooting. For the “step and repeat” shots, I handheld one of the AD100s in an Angler and they turned out perfectly. For the rest of the party I used the AD200s with Magmods to illuminate the room and put gels on the AD100s to add some atmosphere and color, especially during the dancing. These are going to Ngoc to be my “go to” headshot lights as well. Thanks again for your honest reviews.

@35259edgarboudaher Год назад

I love this flash and it is my main one for years now ( I also got the v1 and ad600). one extra neat trick to help it out is to use a variable ND filter on the lens to dim the environmental light then use it at lower power to (even at ETTL) to light your subject. You'll be able to shoot wide open f stop for bokeh, avoid HSS, shoot faster and longer before the flash overheats if it does at all.

"I love these things" and I love the content you produce! I was waiting for you to discuss the AD100 and glad you recommended them. Camara/lens systems these days offer immpressive stabilization that might allow you to handhold the flash/camara in each hand? I was thinking of incorporating a bracket but most likely not necessary/cumbersome. I'd really love to shoot without a tripod mounted flash but allowing omni direction handheld flash setup.
