Godox AK-R21 Projector Kit Complete Review and Guide

[@RyoHazuki224]

That thing is so cool! I have one of the larger Bowens mount modifyers that uses the metal gobos. But its really big and heavy. This one is really cool, compact and I would love to use actual film!

Why not just use the modeling lamp?

[@boshooda]

Thanks for the fantastic overview

[@rosed3167]

Will Godox be making more slides or are the 60 slides all that they have?

[@Strobepro]

We haven't heard anything yet, so the 60 we have is probably the extent of what we'll see for this product. That said, it would be fairly easy to adapt any appropriately sized transparency, so you could potentially print your own.

Excellent presentation

Hi, how much light power is lost when using the snoot? For example, I use another one for the AD600 and I can get a maximum of F5.6 when putting the light 3m away from the wall. If I use a Godox AD200 with the AK-R21, what F-stop would I get from say 3m away? Thanks for the answer.

[@Strobepro]

Light loss is significant, but fresnel heads like the one that ships with the AD200 actually cope a little better with these types of modifiers than bare bulb strobes like the AD600. In fact, an AD200 was able to outperform an AD600 when we tested them in our proprietary optical snoot. I don't have exact numbers for f-stop loss with Godox's AK-R21 projector, but I don't think you'll find the AD200's power lacking with this modifier in a studio environment.

[@silverparker2343]

Its supposed to be two stops

[@yaelr4154]

can it work with ad300pro ?

[@Strobepro]

Unfortunately, no. This accessory works on a variety of small fresnel head flashes such as the V1 and AD100 Pro. Bare bulb strobes like the AD300 Pro are incompatible.

[@zhenyucai]

I can't get my head around why Godox or any third party hasn't made any classic gobo slides to go with AK-R21.

[@_rhapsodist]

you can just shoot your own ones on film to use with this 😉

[@rosed3167]

@@_rhapsodist Really? Can one use film negatives? will they fit?

[@rogerhayman6505]

I have seen a Godox video tutorial on how to use this product where the presenter uses Godox gobos shaped to fit the slide holder. So, they should be available somewhere.

[@chasecastor]

Could this be used to make a circular spotlight without any pattern slides used?

[@_rhapsodist]

of course

[@grahamwalker3819]

I’ve got the round flash head with the AD200. Will this fit, or will I need the adapter with the standard fresnel head?

[@Strobepro]

Yes it will fit the round head.

[@silverparker2343]

It fits round head but significant power loss, fresnel head is considerably stronger ive heard

[@MrPixelution]

what if i have the h200r round head on Ad200? no need an adaptor?

[@Strobepro]

In that case, you would not need the adapter. It mount directly just like it does on the AD100 Pro or V1

[@MrPixelution]

thank you@@Strobepro
