Godox AD600Pro II: B&H Photo / Amazon / Adorama

Superior Experience & Reliable Performance
The time has come for Godox to improve one of its most popular flashes by introducing the AD600Pro II All-in-One Outdoor Flash. Designed to enhance your workflow, the long-awaited successor to the AD600Pro provides one-tap sync functionality with the brand’s separately available X3 trigger. This means that synchronization between the devices is quickly achieved without complications. The AD600Pro II is a versatile tool compatible with several TTL systems including Canon, Nikon, Sony, FUJIFILM, Olympus, Panasonic, Pentax, and Leica. Keeping some characteristics of its previous version, such as 600Ws and 0.01-0.9 sec recycling time, the AD600Pro II offers flash durations from 1/220 to 1/11,760 sec, a wider output range from 1/1 to 1/512, and a clear, optimized TFT color screen for intuitive onboard control. One of the upgrades of this second version is the addition of a bi-color LED modeling light that can be used to help aid composition or as an alternative light source.

One-Tap Sync Capability
Godox has thought about every aspect to simplify the use of the AD600Pro II when combined with the separately available X3 trigger. Made for instant synchronization with the X3, the AD600Pro II lets you focus on your visual creation. This wireless sync function will optimize your photo workflow, cutting down the time you normally spend managing complicated channels and ID settings. Simply press the wireless sync option on both your X3 and the AD600Pro II to achieve quick synchronization.

16 Groups with Color Identification
The AD600Pro II is part of Godox’s 2.4 GHz wireless X system with a range of 328′, featuring 16 groups and 32 channels that facilitate the use of multiple lights. Use the optional X3 trigger or the XPro II and X2 triggers to wirelessly control the flash head. The brand presents what they call “RGB Color Identification”, meaning that each of the 16 groups will display a different color locally on the flash head for easy group identification even from a distance.

Intuitive & Precise Onboard Control
Settings are accessed via side buttons and displayed on the easy-to-read, upgraded TFT (thin-film-transistor) color screen. Faster and more convenient than its previous version, the AD600Pro II now features an on/off button on its screen as well as a modeling light button that takes only one click to turn on or off. The AD600Pro II was designed based on user feedback from its previous version, making it the ideal lighting tool for most shooting situations. At 5800K (+/-200K), the AD600Pro II works great for both studio and location photography and is well-suited for portraits, products, weddings, and other types of shots.

360 Full-Power Flashes
The AD600Pro II offers up to 600Ws with 10 steps of extended output power, ranging from 1/1 to 1/512 in 0.1 increments, and it comes with a powerful 28.8V/2600mAh lithium battery pack that provides up to 360 full-power flashes in outdoor situations and location shooting. Alternatively, you can run the AD600Pro II on AC power with an optional adapter. Godox conveniently includes the battery and charger in the box.

Fast Recycling & Flash Duration
The flash keeps recycling times low at 0.01-0.9 sec for fast and reliable use. The AD600Pro II also features a high-speed sync mode, enabling shutter speeds up to 1/8000 sec and offering flash durations from 1/220 to 1/11,760 sec. Additionally, a freeze mode is available from 1/2570 to 1/20,400 sec when using the M and multi-modes. Together, these features allow you to capture fast-moving action, which includes rapid sports and dance movements to various nature scenes and water splashes.
