The customer may be charged with the costs of transport and diagnosis of the product if the product sent as part of the warranty complaint is functional or its defects result from improper use of the product. This unit ranges from 1/32 to full power, changing in increments of 1/10 power. This means you have 50 steps of adjustment in between. There is a 1.8 second recycle time at full power, which is to be expected. Godox also do a 200Ws version of the head for a fraction less in cost. The 300Ws sits nicely with the AD600 Pro heads though, having half the amount of power – so working out power ratios is really easy. If you’re mainly shooting with bare reflectors 300Ws should be plenty for product and studio work. On my last shoot I was using a large stripbox through a diffuser and I ended up using full power a fair bit (shooting at f/14 at ISO 125 for reference). If you’re a portrait photographer shooting quite wide open they’ll have more than enough power. damage resulting from improper use or storage of the product not in accordance with the user manual and safety regulations

All of Godox’s current battery models and a couple of plug-ins (QT400II, QT600II) support HSS. The big downside to HSS is that you will lose a lot of peak flash power when you use it. For that reason, we recommend a 400W*s strobe at minimum for serious HSS work. That said, the AD200 Pro is still a competent HSS strobe when the sun gets a little lower. 5. The Ecosystem It also has a USB and sync for external triggers if needed. This unit does not have HSS or TTL mode. Specs The tibe cover is great, but I was a bit concerned about changing modifiers and accidentally breaking the flash tube and/or the modeling lamp.damage caused by external factors such as flooding with liquid, moisture, too high or too low temperature, atmospheric discharges, chemical agents, and other factors beyond the Guarantor's control With the radio turned off you can optically use any pop of flash to trigger it, and it has two modes. Slave 1 means every pop it sees from the optical sensor will fire the flash. Slave 2 means it will fire on every other flash which is based on whether or not your camera uses a preflash. In terms of compatibility, the Godox MS300 is compatible with a wide range of light modifiers and accessories, allowing photographers to further enhance their lighting setup. It also has a built-in cooling fan system, which prevents overheat during prolonged use and ensures reliability and longevity of the unit.

Maximum power is the first thing you’re likely to look at, especially considering that a strobe will usually have its power (in watt-seconds) listed as part of its model name (the Godox MS300 is a 300 watt-second light for example). Of course we’re biased, but there really isn’t another system that gives you the same level of choice and flexibility at the time of this writing. Your second performance consideration would be the modeling lamp (the continuous light source meant to preview what your flash will look like). Plug-in strobes use traditional tungsten lamps, while battery strobes will forgo the modeling light entirely, or use a power-efficient LED light instead. If you want a battery model, but a modeling light is important to you, we must again look to higher-end models like the Godox AD400 Pro and AD600 Pro to get similar performance to a traditional lamp.So a word of warning, use the modelling lights wisely! The unit still fires but now can only really be used bare bulb with umbrellas. High-speed sync completely changes the behavior of your flash. Instead of your flash releasing all of its energy at once, it releases a series of concurrent pulses so that your flash actually acts as a continuous light source for a brief moment. This allows you to exceed your flash sync speed and use any faster mechanical shutter speed available to your camera! I have not had any problem with the tubes being exposed; there is a cover for the bulb and flash tube when it is stored and being transported. I have had no issues when changing modifiers. I fired 50 full power pops in rapid secession and there was no sign of overheating. Recycle time is ~1 second (240v model, slightly longer on the 100v version) Is the fastening of the stand mount strong enough??? Would it support heavier modifiers (I have a 1x2m softbox and 50cm beauty dish with metal grid

Controls are simple and intuitive - besides once you have set the channel and group you are mostly going to control it from the trigger. Modelling light has three settings full on, off and proportional.In this cookie, PrestaShop stores data that allows it to keep the user's session open, such as currency, language, customer ID and other information necessary for the proper operation of the store. The reason we’ve amalgamated maximum power with recycle time is that there is a direct correlation between the two. If you are shooting at ¼ power on a 200 W*s strobe, you would only need to shoot at ⅛ power on a 400 W*s strobe. Using less of your available maximum power decreases recycle times, so keep that in mind. If recycle times are important to you, it’s nice to have something a bit more powerful. 3. Minimum Power and Power Range The Godox MS200 MONOLIGHT is a 200-watt second manual monolight, designed to be compact non-TTL AC studio members of the 2.4Ghz Family of wireless radio controlled flashes. The small units deliver GN 174ft / 53m, accepting standard Bowens S-Type reflectors and modifiers. The pro 150w quartz modeling light makes lighting setups easy to achieve precise results. The incredible amount of power and control in these compact and lightweight flashes, make this design the first choice of all photographers with an eye for flexible multiple lights set up in a studio or home environment for everything from portraiture to product photography without the fear of blowing circuits. The Godox MS200 Monolight has a max recycle times of 1.8 seconds at full power, and an eye-popping 0.1 seconds at 1/32nd/5.0 output, with reliability that only AC can. Godox have added to their already broad range of studio lights with the Godox MS300– a 300Ws monobloc with stripped down features but with a really competitive price and compatible with the whole Godox ecosystem. I think I used an XT32 which happened to be at hand. You can switch the modelling light off and on from the remote but not set it into proportional mode - I think that's true of all current Godox remotes.

The head also has an anti-pre-flash function that makes it easy to work with point-and-shoot and other cameras that employ pre-flash. How light it is. It weighs practically nothing. It's lighter than my 300sdi, which is very light, but it has aluminum skin, whereas the MS300 is plastic Frankly, While I have an AD200 and a few other battery-powered flashes, I'm tired of having to keep on top of the charging of batteries. I'm happy to have a power cord in the studio.As the above image shows the modelling light had caused the unit to get progressively hotter until the plastic screw mounts had melted, causing the metal s-mount to (nearly) fall off. The overheating warning (circled) on the Godox MS300 Got the MS 300 yesterday. I tooj it out of the box just to make sure it works. I was surprised by a couple of things: Use wireless trigger X1 as well as power remotes XT16, XPro, and X2 to wirelessly control the head’s power, modelling light, triggering, and more. The system has 32 radio channels and 16 groups. One of the other great features of this light is the Bowens mount on the front. This allows you to attach most any modifier to the unit for very little money, as the Bowens mount system is the most versatile on the market. Power The Godox MS300 is a professional studio light that is designed to provide reliable and consistent lighting for photography and videography projects. It features a compact and lightweight design, making it easy to transport and set up in various locations. The MS300 utilizes a 300-watt flash tube, which delivers consistent and powerful lighting output for capturing clear and detailed images.
