Profoto A2 vs Godox AD 100

Profoto A2 and Godox ad100 are both very good choices but depending on your style of shooting you need to choose the ones is right for you. As I own both flashes I can share my own honest review on these lights and if you are looking to get a small strobe like these I hope I can help you make the right decision.

I hope GODOX moves to the large LCD screen, it would be worth paying a little extra and make it more modern looking for sure.

[@tonyroscaphotography]

They will eventually but yes i can appreciate some more modern look for sure

300$ vs 1100$ and I can’t see a real difference between the two. Why would anyone go for profoto ? I just don’t understand.

[@tonyroscaphotography]

Usually photographers go for Profoto if you travel for work or have big project and you need to rent equipment . Rental houses dont have Godox but are full of Profoto gear. Also if you hire assistants for a job they are certainly familiar with Profoto because is what photogs rent when need it. I only use Profoto for this reason and i have to learn the system for when i cant take my equipment with me . Due the fact people see in big jobs Profoto gear they associate it with industry standard and think are the way to go. I had 2 triggers failed me last year and took 5 weeks to get them repaired and the quality is not that great like people say it is. I have lots of money invested in Profoto and believe me not everything is that great like people think it is .

It's very useful information. BTW, which one do you recommend for nikon z9？

[@tonyroscaphotography]

Either one is fine , having both i still use the AD 100 more . Its easier to use an S2 bracket to adapt it for different light modifiers unless like Profoto you have to use the proprietary system which are very expensive . Also the remote triggers for Profoto are expensive and i had a Connect Pro going bad in 2 months . They did replace it because was under warranty but it took 5 weeks ! With Godox i have 5 years old triggers still going strong and are supper cheap and reliable. With Godox being not expensive you also will figure out if this size flash its good for your needs without spending lots of money . So my suggestion will be AD 100 Let me know if you have any other questions , Cheers !
