Well done sir. It seems Godox had not yet built a high level of confidence in the market when this light came out nearly 5 years ago. Almost no one gave them the benefit of the doubt on the way this flash option would work. Your explanation of how it actually works is spot on and I suspect Godox place in the flash photography market is much more solid now.
@Kamiklaasie6 жыл бұрын
I love almost everything about the Godox AD B2. Why didn’t they make a spring loaded handle??? It is impossible to turn it past a big softbox. I switched the spring loaded handle of an old Bowens T bracket I did not use anymore. And while I was at it I removed the two toothed washers on the inside so I can adjust the angle smoothly. Now the AD B2 is perfect!

Saw this video a bit late LOL, but the main reason they decided to not use the center pins may be the fact that if you already need 2 AD200 to be able to power a 360 bulb, but you already have the 2 AD200's 200w/s bulbs that came with them and deliver 400 w/s, why on earth will you buy an extra 360 w/s bulb. And after the video you made comparing the different f stops of different Godox flashes and monoblocks that demonstrated that the dual AD200 was a little more powerful than the AD400 by itself, then Godox did the correct move :-) If you properly demonstrated that 2 AD200's in an AD B2 were slightly more powerful than a single AD400 which if the AD360 bulb is actually the same 400w/s bulb, so the results would have been similar as putting the AD360 bulb on the AD B2, I personally do not mind that they disabled the option for the 360 bulb, it would just not make sense to buy an extra bulb from the 2 that you already own in order to get less power. :-)

I've tried on a second AD200 and same results. I thought I could fire 50-60 shots consecutively (per the manual), but with the enclosed light modifier, I seem to be tripping the overheat sensor. Would the duo head eVOLV200 solve this issue? I really want to like this system, but I have had one issue after another. Thanks for the great work you do.

+Dan Vang hey dan. First things first, is this in below max sync speed or in HSS? In HSS the number of flashes is less. I'm assuming you are using the omnidirectional bulb in the glow.

I have a friend who reports similar and if that's the case, I would deem the barebulb defective and request a replacement.

Yes, its the bare bulb and yes at HSS. Then that helps explain it. I have thought of using the fresnel head to compare. I've had this happen across 3 bulbs.

My 2 cents.... I use these every day, all day. Today I have two strobes mounted with one bulb in center position. Strobe in #1 slot powers one led and fires center bulb, while Strobe in #2 slot powers ( just ) the second led. So I have both leds lit even when shooting with one bulb. It is strange though, that the second strobe will beep after the first one fires. No matter what settings I set on the AD200pro, the leds will ALWAYS shut off after about 30 minutes. To get them back on without reaching out to the Strobe, I just fire the X2T and they come right back on. If the led will not come back on, the battery is depleted.

I just bought a second evolve with the twin head, I’m just a little disappointed the twin head didn’t come with instructions or even some type of bag to put the twin head in. Overall when both elvolves are in the twin, I believe it’s just as heavy as the Rl 600. Anyway this video was very helpful how to set up the evolves in the twin. Hopefully “Adorama” throws you bag full of useful items or a gift card with a couple hundred bucks!

The LEDs should be shooting the light evenly throughout any angle you can see them, so yes they might be slightly less powerfull around the center of the reflector because they don't bounce near the mount, but they will compensate with the fact that they face stright in the middle. I don't thing that should affect much of anything, especially with the size of the distance it has with the center. Same goes for the bulb, between the center and the upper slot, you will barely see any difference in modifiers top to bottom eveness. You are very picky I feel.

Hi Robert, after watching your video, this video popped up on my feed: kzbin.info/www/bejne/r3rVl5yujrOApNk You commented that neither you nor 4 others were able to replicate his results. The data that he presents shows a 0.3-0.4 stop gain with a AD360 bulb, which is at the edge of being a useful modification over the stock configuration. I am curious if you and the other people who you talked to followed his methodology exactly (drilling the smaller sockets to make them bigger, and enlarging the small pins to ensure a good connection in the bigger sockets), or if you followed a different procedure. I can't find any documentation of his procedure in the video descriptions (maybe they have been removed since the video was originally published). I currently have a AD400 Pro and two AD200s. A stock AD-B2 doesn't really have much usefulness for me, as I can just use my AD400 Pro when I need 400Ws. However, being able to do another 0.4 stops over a stock AD-B2 brings me very close to the output of a AD600, which saves me from having to own a 600Ws light in the very rare situations when I need more than 400Ws. I would really appreciate it if you can provide more information about your experience so that I can make an informed decision on this. Thank you!

Put two ad200's in what, exactly?

Robert Hall Photography I was wrong before I bought my 2 AD200 pro’s I thought you could get two in the s type bracket but I was completely wrong. So my comment was out of ignorance. I now own two ad200 pros and I will be ordering this accessory for when I need the extra power outdoors.

Make zero sense. Even pattern... we are looking at 2cm offset. That will not generate uneven light.

LED panels create uneven patterns and stair-stepping with light sources 1mm apart.

Yes, that is true for SMD leds that have a narrow V-shaped pattern. Not so true for round head LEDs with decent wide pattern. Besides , the flash bulb is completely round and even the tube has a turn. Think about using a speedlight head into a softbox. Speedlights have a tube. Can you see that on images when using a softbox? I don't think it really matters that much.
