Very detailed and straightforward, all important features in under 10 minutes considering there’s a lot to cover in very little time. Thanks
Thanks, Scott, for a great instructional video. I just purchased the Godox AD 400 Pro and your video was very helpful.
Thank you for the instruction video, very useful
Nice.... much needed.... just bought my 400 pro and I have photos to take this weekend.
Thank you for the walkthrough. I just received this light and you saved me a lot of time.
Awesome, glad it could help!
Great video ! Learned a few new tricks!
Probably the best video! Awesome.
Thanks so much! Glad you found it helpful :)
Good video man!
Simply perfect Video!!!!!
nicely done. great video.
Thank you
Thanks so much for watching :)
@@ScottDumas are there anyway to adjust / turn on/off LED model light from trigger?
Yes there are! :) You can turn it on and off but I don't think you can adjust the power level (from the Xpro)
Thank you
my pleasure :)
Hy Scott! Nice Video, but i have a few questions: how do i change the channel i want to have the same channel as well as on my trigger ? and how do i stop all the other canals i work with an A for example.Thank you
Well done
Thanks so much :)
Scott, thinking of renting this strobe out. What softbox do you recommend for portraits paired with the Ad400?
What's the difference between the 400 and the 600 model. How do purchase some?
Great video- thanks.
Question: Will the battery continue to charge off the charger while also using it mounted on the strobe during a shoot?
I'm not sure to be honest. I feel like it wouldn't be recommended to use the battery while it's still plugged in though, even if it worked.
Hi Scott, thanks for the informative Walkthrough. Do you have an idea why the Xpro doesn't allow to adjust the AD400 down to 1/256 of power, but only to 1/128? Or is there any limit adjustable anywhere on both units?
Hi! You can adjust that in the menu of the xpro I believe, around 5:25 in this video:

Let me know if that works out for you :)
@@ScottDumas Hi, yes that worked out perfectly, btw also in conjunction with my Nikon SB800 Flash + X1R-N! Tanks for your answer!
@@wolfmath8615 Awesome, glad to help! :)
Can you show the xpro in action? Thank you for the professional tutorial.
Hi!
I have a review and walkthrough you can check out if you'd like, hope they help!

My question is, is there a way to turn of all but the 1 group in use (A, B, C, D)? Does it matter that Im using (example) Group B only but when I cycle through the other groups I notice that they are listed at power levels and I can't turn it to a off setting. Is there a way to turn the other groups off on the AD400Pro? Or as long as the group are turned off on the trigger it doesn't matter?
The trigger is where you would set groups to be on or off... for example, if you have one AD400 set to channel B, you can control that light (and others that are also set to channel B) from the trigger. That means you can control or turn off 4 separate channels from the trigger, and the lights which are set to each channel will match what you set on the trigger. Hope that helps
looks like fun!bought a 1100 dollar nicephoto back in 2015!waste of money!!those godox ad 200 looks like fun to use!
The AD200 is definitely an awesome little light too, I'm really hoping they come out with a Pro version soon but Godox have really been on a roll lately. :)
unlike Eos R and Z series for dslr!I really like to use yongnuo triggers but Tony Northrup really showed off what a nice pricey trigger can do!only 6 months till I move out of 28 square metres cramped space and get something large enough for a small studio!
Hey, what is color mode? And how do I adjust color temps? Thanks!!
Color mode will help to keep more consistent color between flashes and especially between lowest and highest power compared to standard mode. It will have certain drawbacks though like the flash duration being slightly longer which isn't great if you're trying to freeze action.
You can't adjust color temperature though- it's a daylight color flash only.
Hope that helps!
Great video! Would a Canon T2i be compatible with the Godox 400 AD? And if so, would there be any additional accessories or “add ons” (aside from a lens) that I would need for it to work with the Godox 400 AD? Thank you...
Thanks so much! Totally :) You'll need something to trigger the flash when you take a photo, the Xpro-C for example, or X1T-C (C for Canon)
Scott Dumas...thank you!!!!!
Hi when i press hss on xpro...no changes happens to the ad400 pro...does that mean i need to manually press on the unit itself? Plz answer
SCOTT DUMAS I am also waiting for your answer here 😊
What would be considerd half power on the flash if full power is 1/1?
1/2 would be half power, about 200W
Do you happen Mohave one on the SK400ii please
I don't have the SK400ii, sorry
@@ScottDumas Thank you
Hey, when I use the Godox AD400 with the modelling light, I have noticed the modelling light turns off after a while. I have 3 lights and they all do this. Does anyone know how to keep them on?
I think it's recommended to use the modeling light for only a short amount of time. I don't remember specifics but that's probably the issue.
Do you have any recommendations for family photos using outside
You might need a little more power than this depending on the modifier and how sunny it is. In the shade with a moderately sized modifier this could work I think. I’ve used the old 600 outdoors (almost the same output power as this) in an Aputure Light Dome and it worked out for me
@@ScottDumas thanks
You didn't go over the high speed sync?
About 2:51 I showed how to turn it on and off but that's all there really is to it for the most part :) You can also control this with the Xpro, and just turning it on should allow you to go above the max sync speed and use high speed sync
@@ScottDumas ok found it! Thanks
4:15 Kelvin are NOT degrees... you may say -75 kelvin or 7800 kelvin, and that's it.
anyone knows why my camera won't go over 1/200 shutter speed with this?
It's possible that it could be a setting on your camera, you have to enable hight speed sync.
what does the ID do?
+Bao Tran to be honest I’m not sure but I think it’s related to how it works with certain triggers maybe? I’ve never changed it myself
your moving too fast with your finger movements and talking. kinda hard to keep up.
Sorry about that, I try to keep them as short as possible because people statistically don't watch longer videos as much.
