Godox AD300 vs AD100 vs AD200 vs Profoto B10X, B10X Plus Neewer Q300 Q4 photography flash SURPRISE !

[@MarkusPix]

Note: The Neewer Q300 does not have HSS or TTL. I do not use HSS much and never use TTL (I always shoot manual for full control). Remember HSS cuts flash power in half, drains your batteries much faster and can cause horizontal lines in the image when used with cameras like a Sony A7C and any camera using Electronic Front Curtain Shutter (EFCS) which can cause banding issues with HSS. If you do want HSS and TTL with a powerful but inexpensive flash, then I suggest the Neewer Q4 400ws It's available at this moment for $336 WITH a flash trigger! You can't beat that for value and power, plus it's Bowens mount amzn.to/40v8B3D and with a Leftfoto 7" reflector, it's just as bright as a Godox AD600!

How fun was this video to make?! :D It was certainly fun to watch. This is practical knowledge everyone needs to have, especially beginners. Advertising creates an air of superiority for some brands. What I noticed a long time ago was that light was light and if you knew how to use it, you could get amazing results with ANY light no matter the brand or cost. You certainly have proved that through numerous videos and, you use of hard light is nothing short of astonishing. Always entertaining and useful material. Thanks Markus.

Solid as always! I’m hoping Neewer sends you its new round body style Q200 for a test before you (eventually) get rid of your AD 300 again. They’re advertising the flash as on sale but the only reviews I’ve seen are for the Q3, which is an AD 200 copy.

Thanks Markus - you have confirmed what I have long suspected since i own all of the Godox line and have gravitated toward AD100s for their portability, flexibility (using all the round attachments and profoto fresnels!), price and relative power.

And not seen in a long time on your channel, my AD360 II’s still get love on my boom pole and stroboframe pro bracket when the venue or shoot style call for them!

[@rhykko77]

So glad that I found your channel ......been watching for years......great stuff thanks !

[@bn5fg]

Nice tests as always! But let’s get practical: The AD300 isn’t just brighter with the SMDV softbox; it also fills the front diffuser more effectively, resulting in softer light. The same goes for the AD200. There’s a specific SMDV adapter for the AD200 bare bulb, which requires a firm push-sometimes involving a bit of rubber tearing-to fully fit and properly illuminate the softbox. Without a softbox, the AD100 performs excellently, and I often use four of them as ambient fills indoors and for accents or FX. In fact, for indoor shots, AD100s/V1 are my main tools. I even use two V350s as accent lights indoors because they’re so lightweight, and two MF12s as rim lights. Outdoors, though, I’m a bit skeptical. For me, outdoor lighting usually starts at the AD200 level since I need a softbox as a key light outside. SMDV softboxes are optimized for the AD100, but if I want to use a different softbox, the AD100 isn’t quite suitable. I often use the AD100 with a 120cm white umbrella indoors, but that setup isn’t realistic outdoors-the umbrella would likely break. Indoors, you can even bounce light off the ceiling for a key light, but unfortunately, there’s no ceiling outdoors. And I’ll say this again: the AD300’s default reflector is more of a bulb protector, so running power tests with it isn’t entirely fair. As for Profoto... well, it’s just not worth the money for me. But the Magnum clic reflector/fresnel are cool, and I wish Godox offered a similar, more affordable options. SMDV reflectors require an adapter, so they end up being a bit too clunky for my setup. And thank you for highlighting the value of Neewer lights!

[@MarkusPix]

The SMDV is double diffusion. Here are several shoots I did with AD100 in softboxes outdoors kzbin.info/www/bejne/r6nae4WleZeoZ7c kzbin.info/www/bejne/aIfKXoqPgtGkjc0 but of course they were full power, but it is possible.

[@bn5fg]

​@@MarkusPix SMDV is more than just a double-diffusion softbox; it features a thoughtfully designed inner diffuser placement with large gaps on the outer ring, which helps balance the hotspot created by the AD100's fresnel head. However, a central hotspot still becomes easily visible at f/22. This can be somewhat mitigated with an AK-R11 dome, but it costs about a stop of light. When using the AD200 and AD300 with the SMDV softbox, you can achieve bright edges and a soft center, resulting in overall softer light and more gradual shadow terminators. You might call me a light snob, but I can definitely spot the difference! With the Godox S85/120T, the AD300 provides a perfectly illuminated front diffuser(so I think, we can get fewer highlights compared to the SMDV with the AD300, which creates a bright-edge, beauty-dish-like effect.). However, these things are heavier compared to SMDV. Not so portable and much slower to set up.

[@georgehenry3384]

[@TravisCurry]

Man you’re great! Thanks for putting this together. I have 2 AD300 Pros that I use at the studio with my 3 AD 600 ‘s. For location work I bring the 300 Pro’s and some flashes.

[@1977borg]

Hi Markus! Great content as always! Try the ad300 without the frosty reflector - protector which is on top of the bulb. Maybe then the results will be different...

[@MarkusPix]

Great question! I did . You'd think it would be better, but what's even more surprising is the results are actually worse! Its one tenth of a stop less bright when I removed the frosted cover, same results with all 3 reflectors!

Thank you for this helpful video Markus! After 20 years shooting with various Elinchroms (which I still love) I am hunting for small size battery flashes because some jibs are simple & fast and I am becoming lazy to carry heads + battery unit + cables. And I am not willing to pay extra money for the brand anymore - so after I gave enough time to Chinese factories to learn (and they really did) I am open now to step out of my habits :) AD 100 seems to be amazing - but what I miss in your battery flashes comparison is the battery capacity - and this info would be extra helpful. How many shots in full power gives you AD 100 and Q4? Especialy AD 100 size means small battery :) Can you shoot with AD100 while it is charging? Can you feed it from extra power bank? Are their batteries replacable when they degrade too much? Many thanx again, you do great job 👏👏👏

[@AndrewDaughtry]

Absolutely correct. The only issue seems to be their clones can't seem to stay in stock

[@o0YumRamen0o]

Agreed they bring prices back down to reasonable levels when big boys like Aputure and Profoto push them sky high

[@paristo]

It is difficult to recommend anything else than AD100 for beginners and anyone who needs to be on mobile. If going for softboxes in studio, gamefield is different. But AD100 hits well above price, size, weight and power it is challenged for. Well done Godox. I have AD200's and now wondering should I upgrade to the "Pro II" model that would have the LED modeling light with bulb head. As sometimes in studio it is very nice to be able get the better idea how to position the flash without taking few test shots first. But it really is not so big deal as I do not shoot anymore film or polaroids and waste money and time via that way. The AD200 works great when you need those softboxes and need to be mobile. So pairing AD100 and AD200 is really something. I have in storage a old large format flashes. It has power pack that can power three flashes, but all at same power, so no individual channel/cable control. But you do that with moving lights distance. But unusable as they are too powerful. I needed f/32 and 2 stops ND filter to get a acceptable exposure for face from 1 meter distance of the subject to the softbox surface (1 meter diameter) when the power was for one flash and at minimum. The power can be adjusted only in nine levels, and IIRC is 3 stops between lowest and highest, so 1/3 stops per click (it has big black knob to select from 1 to 9). But oh boy were those nice when doing large group photo shoots, like a 200 people in the frame. All three flashes evenly distributed to front of the people in that 20-25 meter wide group and.... Didn't need anything else. That is the reason I hang on those even today, even when I don't ever need those anymore.

[@bluerainbug]

Out of curiosity, I took out my ad100 and ad300 for testing too. I set my camera to manual and both flashes to maximum power. I faced both flashes towards the ceiling. I then intentionally set my camera settings for an underexposed base shot then took test shots of the entire room with each flash. The ad300 being a more powerful flash always lit the entire room to the point of overexposure whereas the ad100 just looked properly exposed. I did this several times with similar results. I think therefore the ad300 in my opinion is a stronger flash than the ad100.

[@MarkusPix]

1. Use a light meter. 2. Sounds like you weren't aware of the 28 or 85mm setting on the 100. Like I said, the 300 is better for architectural photography, while the 100 is more suited to portraits.

[@NebulousFilms]

Hey Markus, very informative video as always. Saving us from overspending. Do you have any insights in how these flashes compare in regards to firing off multiple shots in quick succesion. Let's say you have to shoot multiple people very quickly right after one another. Or if you have to react quick while shooting events. The generally cheaper or older equipment I've used so far often lets me down by not firing consistantly after one or two shots.

[@hiepvophan]

Another great video Markus! Thank you for sharing. BTW, the Elinchrom One and Three have a similar bulb design as that Neewer Q300. Elinchrom advertised their One (131Ws) just as powerful as the B10 with the OCF Magnum. Might be worth a check.

[@MarkusPix]

Yes I just tested an Elinchrom 3. The light output was actually less than an AD100 at full power! I was shocked. Nice interface, sounds, etc, but pretty big and heavy for only being 261ws.

[@hiepvophan]

One more plus for AD200: I have a running "habit" of falling down lightstands due to wind or overlook, yet no flash has been harmed - "horned" protectors make AD200s jump and hop around on pavements or asphalt like cute balls. No light was damaged this way so far. No other light mentioned here seems to have similar silicone attachments, so I would probably need to replace them almost instantly. Edit: there are bumpers for XPLOR 100 and 300, which are rebrands of AD100 and AD300 respectively, I highly recommend them for outdoor shooters with a bit too much spontaneity for their gear to handle.

I don't know why anyone would buy an AD 100, the price is almost the same as a 200. I love the 200, perfect balance of power and size.

[@MarkusPix]

Hold one in your hands one day. Its so much smaller and lighter, and when you realize it's almost the same light output, you'll squeal with glee like a girl in an ice cream shop

[@glssjg]

Some of those flashes look like they’re using cob leds. How are you finding the transition from bulbs like the ad200 to the new led versions. Better battery life, more power, color temperature, flicker?

[@MarkusPix]

I hate the new ones. Nothing beats the original bare bulb

[@vickydec1]

does Godox trigger work with combination of lights (Ad400 + Q300) type lighting

[@MarkusPix]

Godox only works with Godox, not Neewer.

[@AllesWirdGut1502]

You should use a softbox with the same size for all these tests. You testet reflectors - not the flashes.

[@MarkusPix]

I did compare the 100 and 300 in the same softbox kzbin.info/www/bejne/lWGai2mAiZmZick Like I said, I don't use softboxes much, I use reflectors kzbin.info/www/bejne/lWGai2mAiZmZick

The AD200 is also easier to pack multiple lights in a small bag as it’s not round.

[@MarkusPix]

You would think but that's not true. Its considerably bigger and heavier. The length is what makes it not fit as well and the weight is almost double that of a 100. You could never fit a 200 in this kit kzbin.info/www/bejne/bXm8dWyoZr-Yd9U Here is a bag where I have 3 AD 100's kzbin.info/www/bejne/a5Otgol-o61lptE and kzbin.info/www/bejne/pWnFlZWCjJead9U

Ad200 is killer

[@rkgaustin]

Are you going to review the new Panasonic camcorders?

[@MarkusPix]

You mean the VX3? No diff than VX1 except some software to enhance low light shots on that tiny 1/2.5 sensor

[@genejoanen]

Is the AD300 just designed for faster flash reset? Or better with heat? I struggle to understand. Getting a Neewer now! Q4 is tempting. I broke my prophoto and sorta glad I did😅

[@MarkusPix]

Funny- people think Profotos are built out of superhero material, they break like every other flash lol.

[@genejoanen]

@MarkusPix you speak the truth! I try to always buy stuff that's going to last a long time and usually it pans out pretty good. Then I run into some brands that are just overrated. I have learned that flashes are expendable!

[@Hennequing]

Markus, we all know you love the AD100s, but say you had to buy a new pack of lights for photography inside and outside, you couldn’t afford to buy more than three flashes, and needed some sort of compactness due to traveling, would you go two AD100s and then one big light like an AD600 to cover all possible situations?

[@TheSunnySuttons]

I would go with 3 x ad200. The ad600 is great if you are forced to shoot at mid day without any shade. But it you can move into the shade an ad200 will be enough. Also, mixing a bare bail ad600 with ad100's with produce different tints so it's best to go with one type of flash. You could go ad600 and 2 ad200's. Also, travelling with a ad600 isn't fun. Heavier lights require heavier light stands.

[@marcinmrzyglocki]

​@@TheSunnySuttons I have been shooting two AD200s at direct sunlight and was able to overpower, only with reflectors though. When looking for softer light, QF35 Octas are awesome as softboxes, very decent size for many uses while being incredibly compact and fast to set up.

[@VladimirHidalgo]

What is the Fresnel used in the AD100? thank you
