Godox has officially unveiled the AD400 Pro II, the long-anticipated update to its popular mid-range portable studio flash head, available to preorder now for $649 / £663 / AU$971. The release brings many of the refinements first introduced in the AD200 Pro II and AD600 Pro II, giving this 400Ws strobe new levels of speed, precision, and usability.
I’ve used Godox photography lighting kits for years, and this feels like an important step forward. The AD200 Pro built much of my portrait career, while the AD600 Pro gave me the power I needed for bigger commercial shoots. When the second-generation versions arrived, their refinements were immediately noticeable, and now those same improvements have made their way to the AD400 Pro II, the model that sits perfectly between portability and punch.
