Neewer Q200 Review : The best 200 Watt strobe for 2025?

[@paulmaschak5267]

Ah, I also like the ‘Gary Fong’ mode of the soft diffuser

It's a cool little modifier alright. Very versatile little gadget.

I bought this light and I love it.

[@kieranhayesphotography]

It's a great light and that modelling light is super powerful.

[@paulmaschak5267]

Hi Kieran - that is quite an impressive modeling light! Is the Q200 compatible with Godox controller/units?

[@kieranhayesphotography]

Hi Paul, no, it only works on the Neewer Q Pro wireless system. You can also control it via the Neewer App too. So for some background video lighting it could be handy.

Silly question do you need to use a defuser since it says it has one built in? Any idea why it’s referred to as an outdoors flash?

[@kieranhayesphotography]

With diffusion the bigger the light source or diffuser the softer the light. So a larger diffuser will render less harsh lighting, I had planned on doing a video on this so I might get that done in January to explain this in more detail. The "outdoor flash" statement is to highlight it's battery operated so you can bring it outdoors. It just helps to showcase you are not tied to mains power. I hope that helps a bit and thanks for watching.

Godox AD200 Pro VS Neewer Q200, which one is more dependable, has better color accuracy, and which one is built better? I am always on the hunt for the best affordable off/on camera flashes. The Godox V1-N has been my favorite flash for so long now.

[@kieranhayesphotography]

Dependability I would be lying if I answered that as I have only had the Q200 for about a month now but so far it's spot on and has never failed to function for me in anyway. Build quality wise I genuinely couldn't fault either of them and as for colour accuracy again no difference there either from my tests. The AD200 Pro has the option of bare bulb so that's nice but the Q200 then has that super bright 10w modelling light. There are pro's and conns to both I suppose is the right answer there.
