Watts: Explained - AD200 vs AD600 Pro

[@sergiopstudio]

Yay, camera math.

[@Iso100-0]

I like the videos thank you. Funny how you talk about what makes a worthy flash, meanwhile the camera drops focus @1:20 :D

[@Lucy-dk5cz]

Yep, I’ve done that with QT600s. Two meant I could turn each down 1 stop and have a larger surface area of light. And to boot I got better flash durations.

Good advice to the young photographer, I have a 3000 wt flash pack that l used in the days of film. Now and then l will bring it out when you just need that amount of flash power to shoot small aperture from a distance. Good video.

I have 4 Flashpoint 400's, and one each of the ad100, 200, 300. My next acquisition will be the AD600. You pushed me over the edge.

I got AD600 Pro and I love it. It even fits in Peak Design's Messenger 15L bag with 2 lenses and A7III.

Hey Sergio, as a beginner with flash (I think I commented on another of your videos), the main benefit for me of calculating a GN for me is/was a factor in equalizing the playing field when it came to the advertised "watts". With the assumption of a f/stop of 1.0, it makes the calculation easy and compare a flash with 500Ws vs one with 600Ws - and find that that 500ws flash is actually just as, or more efficient - if that's important (all else being equal). Thanks for your video.

Interesting, I was just thinking of getting some matte flat lays. So perhaps good timing if they ship internationally.

[@sergiopstudio]

I'm international for them, so they sure do! They used to be out of Australia, so I know they have clients in every hemisphere. Let us know what you settle on!

[@Lucy-dk5cz]

Please note aperture and f-stops are different. You can get two lenses set to the same fstop and they will have a different effective aperture.

Great insight 👍

I have got AD1200 Pro because Godox doesn’t do more powerful battery powered strobes.

Not "wattage", its watt seconds. Only constant light sources are measured in "watts". They are apples and oranges, terminology matters.
