Godox AD800 Pro All-in-One Outdoor Flash

Godox AD800PRO Overview

Your Powerful Lighting Companion
Take advantage of a comprehensive list of professional features and reliable performance with the 800Ws AD800Pro All-in-One Outdoor Flash from Godox. The AD800Pro is a wise choice for those working outdoors or in demanding studio environments by providing power, control, and the quality features that most photographers, no matter their field, desire. Start with its output setting that is adjustable over a 10-stop range that enables a variety of creative options, then take into consideration the ease of its detachable battery pack design. As part of Godox’s 2.4 GHz wireless X system, the goal was to make the AD800Pro as convenient as possible by offering a number of alternatives to trigger the head and by adding several improvements. With 0.01-1.5 sec recycling, up to 300 full-power flashes, HSS support, and a freeze mode for stopping action, this light is an absolute powerhouse that delivers reliable output even in direct sunlight. A 40W bi-color LED modeling light is also present for multi-tasking image-makers shooting video and working with strobe lighting. A modern, compact body allows use of Godox’s group color identification system, a 2.8″ color screen, and a widely compatible Bowens mount.

Reliable Performance
The AD800Pro offers wide compatibility with several TTL systems including Canon, Nikon, Sony, OM SYSTEM, Panasonic, FUJIFILM, Leica, and Pentax. All of its functions are manually adjustable on the unit, as well as wirelessly thanks to the Godox wireless X system. Remote operation requires separate purchase of a Godox trigger, such as the X3 and X3Pro models. At 5800K (+/-200K), the AD800Pro works great for most flash lighting situations and is well suited for commercial photographers working with portraits, products, and other types of shots, but it is intuitive enough for photo enthusiasts.

Effortless Wireless Control
Part of Godox’s 2.4 GHz wireless X system with a range of 328′, the AD800Pro enables 16 groups, 32 channels, and 99 IDs to facilitate the use of multiple lights. Use the separately available X3, X2T, XPro II, or XPro series of triggers in M, Multi, and TTL modes and experience effortless wireless triggering. With transmitter/receiver functionality, use the AD800Pro in combination with other Godox on-camera, outdoor, and studio flashes. As a receiver, the AD800Pro can be controlled by the optional V1Pro, V1, and V860III series. A 3.5mm sync cord jack is available to provide a wired sync triggering mode.

433 MHz Connectivity
Although the AD800Pro is designed for 2.4 GHz wireless connectivity, it also works with 433 MHz signals by connecting the optional Godox FR433 via USB-C port. This allows you to enhance signal stability and avoid interference for precise control of the flash. This requires the separately available FT433 flash trigger. The transmitter, when used with its FR433 receiver, also allows you to achieve longer transmission distances. The FT433 is compatible with Canon, Nikon, and Sony cameras, while being able to control other optional flashes such as the AD100Pro II, AD200Pro II, AD300Pro II, AD400Pro II, AD600Pro II, and AD600BM II models.

16 Groups with Color Identification
Similar to the other second-generation models in the AD line, the AD800Pro also features group color capability, meaning that each of the 16 groups will display a different color locally on the flash head for easy group identification from a distance. Godox’s modern design keeps the physical body of the AD800Pro intuitive, and settings are accessible via local buttons and displayed on the easy-to-read, 2.8″ color screen. The AD800Pro design is complemented by a rotatable select dial and a detachable battery pack.

300 Full-Power Flashes
Enjoy 800Ws with 10 steps of extended output power, ranging from 1/1 to 1/512 in 0.1 increments, and make use of the AD800Pro’s stable color temperature mode that improves color consistency to within +/- 100K throughout the entire power range. The flash head comes with a powerful, detachable 28.8V/2900mAh lithium battery pack that provides approximately 300 full-power flashes. Godox conveniently includes the battery, charger, and power cable in the box. It takes approximately two hours to fully charge the battery. The AD800Pro is also compatible with the separately available H600P extension head, the AC26 AC power source, and the UC46 power adapter to expand your options and reduce the battery charging time to about 1.5 hours.

Fast Recycling & Flash Duration
Keeping recycling times at 0.01-1.5 sec for fast and reliable use, the AD800Pro features a high-speed sync mode, enabling shutter speeds up to 1/8000 sec. It offers normal flash durations from 1/350 to 1/11,400 sec, a color flash mode from 1/350 to 1/9220 sec, and a freeze mode from 1/5020 to 1/35,710 sec. Together, these features allow you to capture fast-moving action: rapid sports, dance movements, water splashes, and more. You can also use the optional BFP flash projection attachment for creative shots.
