5 Ways to Light a Portrait Using the Flashpoint eVOLV 200 Pro II with Gavin Hoey

[@ericwilcox2442]

Love the shots at the end with the light hitting her eyes!

[@jimcook3882]

Always the best shooter, and makes lighting EZ to understand. Just got the Godox AD200 Pro II 😎 Thanks Gavin!!!

[@alanroderick7153]

Super walk through of the Pro II features, and great images. Loved the final set on the floor with the cut-out light.

[@GavinHoey]

Thanks Alan. I think everyone in the room thought I had lost the plot when I started placing random bits of table against chairs 🤣

[@NelsonChaban]

Gavin is my number one resource for photographic knowledge and inspiration! Excellent tutorial..

[@GavinHoey]

Thanks Nelson. I'm only as good as the people I work with and the Adorama team absolutely smashed this one 👍

[@CStevenson-i2q]

As an experienced photographer, it is always good to view things from your point of view and I am always learning something. Thanks for keeping is simple and without the rush that some of the younger folks seem to think is needed. As they say in the food industry, if you can't eat it, don't put is on the plate.

[@Adorama]

Web are pleased that you find value in the content and appreciate the approach. Love the food industry analogy, it’s spot on!

Lovely location, beautiful model, great pictures! Thanks Gavin!

[@GavinHoey]

Thanks Mati 👍

[@capturemeinpictures]

As always Gavin is very creative...Shooting through a slot created using two boards found on location. That created a beautiful look!

[@jerrym8140]

So good, not just the new Evolv 200 but those images 😁

[@GavinHoey]

Thanks. I got so lucky with the location, the random things I repurposed, that patch of light on the floor and the very understanding Lika as my model 👍

[@GianniVeroni]

Gavin on an expatriat mission: LOVE IT! More videos of this type Adorama! Only the real ones can work in any condition like Gavin does here, making the best out of the ambient enviroment and light :D

[@GavinHoey]

Thanks for the kind words Gianni, this one was a bit of a journey into the unknown which was really exciting 😁

[@jwats5713]

I love your videos, they have enhanced my photography skills

[@Jungle0km]

Very nice and informative video.... Love from India ❤

[@GavinHoey]

Thanks Amit 👍

[@quietset7639]

Woow Gavin! Beautiful quality of the video. Great information about the Evolve 200. I just purchased a 200 pro last month and had to purchase the round head for the modeling lamp. I will save more for a new 200proII.

[@mayastep4258]

Thank you so much Gavin, I just placed an order for the eVOLV 200. I told them you sent me! :) Thank you for being the very best at what you do. We all love you and your team so much!!! love to all of you from Southern California :)

[@GavinHoey]

Thanks for the kind words Maya. You'll love the eVOLV200 👍

[@johnclay7644]

informative topic and video thanks Gavin.

The ad200 is such a phenomenal strobe for all kinds of conditions. So versatile with 2 different heads. I love the bulb on the original ad200, but the fresnel head is great that it had the led to help light up your clients. But this new ad200 pro-ii is definitely a great upgrade with led’s on both heads. I been using Godox for over 5 years, 2 ad200’s, a ad300 pro, 2 v1’s, 2 ad600’s, and the ad1200 pro. Never had any issues except 2 blown over by the wind and that is operator error. You want a great strobe to start out with, grab 2 ad200’s or these new pro-ii’s. I started my outdoor photography business with it and been going strong for 6 years

Great Video!

[@shinra188]

Great video Gavin

[@GavinHoey]

Thank you. I just fronted this one the amazing Adorama TV team filmed and edited it to make me look good 😉

[@shinra188]

@@GavinHoey would love to see you do one using the lume cube

[@Akashdownloader]

Great upgrade

[@truthsayers8725]

super vid! i was going to ask if you had a new studio but you explained where you were, just as i was about to ask.. great work, for sure! that flash looks like its the cat's meow but im still kind of leaning towards the 300s units. i have an xplor 400 that is great but just a bit unwieldly for me to shlepp too much

[@isoawe1888]

Definitely some things look pretty cool, though not sure it’s enough for an upgrade. Example: If I look over at my “ purple “ light and want to decrease its power, does my trigger show which group is purple?

[@GavinHoey]

Yes it does. If you have the Flashpoint Nano (Godox X3) transmitter and the latest firmware the groups are colour coded to match the corresponding flash.

[@EVERLAST223]

So a transmitter is required to use this flash? It doesnt work with say the the sony wireless system?

[@GavinHoey]

For direct control of the flash (power adjustment, TTL. HSS... and so on) you need a Sony fit Flashpoint / Godox transmitter. There is also S1 and S2 optical receiver modes where the EVOLV200 will fire when it senses a flash from a Sony Speedlight for example.

[@EVERLAST223]

@@GavinHoey Thanks!

[@rgreeneish]

I wish they would put the knobs on the mount on opposite sides. they still interfere with each other when you attach it to a light stand and want to adjust the tilt.

[@GavinHoey]

Hi Robert. There is a threaded hole on BOTH sides of the light stand clamp. Just unscrew the knob and pop it in the other side, problem solved... and yes, that was a feature in the original Pro 😉

[@rgreeneish]

@@GavinHoey oh wow, I will have to check that. Thank you for the suggestion.

[@squidskunk]

Many/most of my photography purchases are influenced by Gavin Hoey's recommendations...

[@GavinHoey]

Glad to hear I've been of help 👍

[@garyyeo9220]

Does the new 200 pro ii work with the R2 pro ii trigger ?

[@QwietStorm]

Is this a different model than the Godox ad200 Pro II?

[@Heiko_Kanzler]

Would be nice if we can use the new head on existing AD200. I am not so keen in replacing my existing lights only to ge the new head.

[@tugwilson]

Can't be done, I'm afraid. The new heads have an etra set of contacts (I'm guessing for the fan) which means they won't fit on the old body nor will they fit on EC200 extender.

[@bronekjelonek]

Will this new head work with older reporter 200 ttl?

[@rgreeneish]

The new heads will not work on the old lights, but the old heads work on the new light. The new lights have an additional 3 pin connector, which I assume is for the new more powerful modeling lights.
