Godox AD100Pro II FAQs
The Godox AD100Pro II is an ultra-compact 100Ws battery-powered pocket strobe shaped like a small can, built for portrait, event, and hair or rim lighting setups on location or in the studio:
- Can-Sized 100Ws Output: Weighs 564 grams while packing 100Ws of studio-grade flash output into a soda-can-sized body.
- Round Magnetic Flash Head: Produces soft, smooth light falloff and features a magnetic front ring for instant snap-on accessory attachment.
- Adjustable Built-In Zoom: Features an integrated 28mm to 85mm zoom head to narrow or widen the flash beam spread.
- Upgraded Battery & USB-C Charging: Delivers up to 490 full-power flashes per charge from its 3300mAh battery, with convenient direct USB-C charging.
- Action Freezing & HSS: Supports High-Speed Sync up to 1/8000s, front and rear curtain sync, and fast recycling times from 0.01 to 1.5 seconds.
- Multi-Brand TTL Compatibility: Integrates with Canon, Nikon, Sony, Fujifilm, Olympus, Panasonic, and Leica TTL systems via Godox X transmitters.
The AD100Pro II introduces significant thermal, power, and visual navigation upgrades over the first-generation AD100Pro:
- Enhanced Thermal Cooling: Includes an active cooling fan and heat dissipation architecture that allows up to 100 consecutive full-power flashes without thermal throttling.
- Increased Battery Capacity: Upgraded 3300mAh battery increases full-power flash count from 360 pops on the original model up to 490 pops per charge.
- Full-Colour TFT Display: Replaces the legacy monochrome backlit LCD with a vibrant full-colour TFT display for clear viewing under bright sunlight.
- Colour-Coded Wireless Groups: Supports 16 colour-coded wireless groups on the screen, matching the visual setup on Godox X3 triggers.
- Upgraded Modeling Lamp: Increases the modeling LED output from 1.8W to 5W for better preview visibility.
Selecting the right compact Godox lighting unit depends on your mounting needs and power requirements:
- AD100Pro II vs. AD200Pro II: The AD100Pro II is roughly half the size and weight of the 200Ws AD200Pro II, making it the most portable off-camera light for tight spaces, boom arms, or hair-light stands. The AD200Pro II offers double the flash power (200Ws) and interchangeable heads.
- AD100Pro II vs. V1Pro: While both feature circular magnetic heads, the V1Pro is a hot-shoe flash designed to sit directly on your camera body, whereas the AD100Pro II is a dedicated off-camera pocket strobe with dual 1/4"-20 tripod mounting threads.
The AD100Pro II works seamlessly with the entire Godox light shaping and wireless trigger ecosystem:
- Magnetic Modifiers: Connects directly to the Godox AK-R1 magnetic kit (domes, snoots, grids, bounce cards), AK-R21 projection attachment, and AK-R22 diffusion dome.
- Bowens Mount Modifiers: Pairs with the Godox S2 or S3 Speedlite Bracket to mount large softboxes, beauty dishes, and umbrellas.
- Wireless Triggering: Fully compatible with Godox X3, XPro II, X2T, and X1T transmitters across all major camera brands up to 100 metres away, with support for 2.4GHz and 433MHz frequencies.
