Godox AD300PRO II Portable Flash from MoLight
Godox AD300PRO II Portable Flash from MoLight The AD300PRO II and its predecessor, the AD300PRO, are our best-selling portable flashes. We recommend the AD300PRO II as your first p ortable off-camera flash for off-camera flash shooting, as it strikes the perfect balance between power and portability. It pairs especially well with the X3 and X3 PRO transmitters and will work with all Godox X-System transmitters, including the XPRO, XPRO II, X2T, and X1T. Note: You may also see this model listed as the Flashpoint 300 (eVOLV 300 Pro) and, depending on the retailer, referenced as ad300, ad 300, ad300 pro, ad 300 pro, 300 pro, 300pro, ad300pro, ad300, or the godox 300. These alternate names point to the same portable off-camera flash design. The AD300PRO II is perfect for: Outdoor portrait photography Senior portrait photography Wedding photography On-location shoots Headshots Commercial and branding sessions The AD300PRO II is recommended by these MoLight ProTeam Mentors: Jenn Lewis Dan McClanahan Gary Box Dan Frievalt Katie Swatek Angela Navarette Product Information Building on its predecessor, the AD300Pro II 300ws Flash from Godox (often searched as godox ad300pro ii) arrives as the improved, second version of the popular AD300Pro—bringing several professional features and a sleeker design. Godox continues to expand its Witstro series with the introduction of the 300Ws AD300Pro II, featuring 16 color groups, a color screen, and a 12W bi-color LED modeling light. Another benefit is one-tap sync functionality with the brand's separately available X3 and X3 PRO triggers for easy synchronization. The AD300Pro II also offers a wider 1/512 to 1/1 power output in 0.1 increments, with full TTL support for the auto flash systems of Canon, Nikon, FUJIFILM, OM SYSTEM, Panasonic, Sony, Leica, and Pentax cameras. The flash head has a recycle time of 0.1-1.5 sec, a handy action-stopping freeze mode, and finally, a lightweight 2.6 lb body that makes it a great asset for outdoor creators when you want a portable off-camera flash. Among its accessories, the flash body includes a reflector, battery, charging cable, and carry bag. For photographers comparing systems or seeking a Godox AD300Pro II review, the details below highlight why this model is so popular. The AD300Pro II's detachable WB300P battery will give you up to 350 full-power flashes with recycle times from 0.01 to 1.5 sec, a 10-stop power range, and high-speed sync times as short as 1/8000 sec. In addition, the AD300Pro II introduces a convenient freeze mode with flash durations from 1/2310 to 1/24,390 sec for stopping action. Outside of the freeze mode, the AD300Pro II has normal flash durations from 1/220 to 1/14,920 sec, keeping the godox 300 ready for travel and fast-paced shooting. Godox has improved the physical design of this flash, introducing a more elegant, modern look that enables intuitive local operation. Another unique AD300Pro II setting is its Color-Stable mode, which maintains a consistent color temperature throughout the entire power range. At 6000K, the AD300Pro II is ideal for on-location portraits, editorial shoots, and other commercial work. Designed to simplify use when combined with the separately available X3 and X3 PRO triggers, the AD300Pro II enables instant synchronization with the X3, letting you focus on your visual creation. This wireless sync function will optimize your photo workflow, cutting down the time you usually spend managing complicated channels and ID settings. Simply press the wireless sync option on both your X3 and the AD300Pro II to achieve quick synchronization. The AD300Pro II is part of Godox's 2.4 GHz wireless X system with a range of 328', featuring 16 groups, 32 channels, and 99 IDs that facilitate the use of multiple lights. Use the optional X3 or the XPro series, X2T, and X1 triggers to wirelessly control the flash head. The brand adds 16 color group capability so different colors will locally display on the flash head for easy group identification even from a distance. In addition to the group color capability right at the head of the flash, the AD300Pro II body also has a color screen and a smooth metal control dial. Standard flash functionality is easy to manage thanks to an intuitive menu and local buttons. Besides that, it was clever of Godox to employ an upgraded bi-color LED modeling light that now spans a wider 2800 to 6000K range and offers adjustable brightness from 10 to 100%. The lamp has high CRI and TLCI ratings of 97 and 98, respectively. Use the LED modeling light for your previews or on-set illumination. The AD300Pro II has a proprietary Godox mount, but enables Bowens mount with the use of optional adapters. Providing you flexibility to utilize optional light shapers from the Godox ecosystem and other types of modifiers, such as a snoot, a barndoor kit, a long focus reflector, a flash projector, and various softboxes. The AD300Pro II works with the separately available S3, S2, or AD-AB adapters to expand your options with Bowens, Broncolor, Profoto, and Elinchrom mounts. This enables compatibility with optional beauty dishes, reflectors, a flash projection attachment, and quick-release umbrella softboxes in different sizes and shapes.

Yes, to a certain degree. For a single person with the flash used close and a single layer of diffusion, the AD300PRO II can do a good job in filling the shadows caused by turning your subject away from the sun. We also recommend using a force-multiplier like the Godox AD-R12 long throw reflector, which can boost your effective light output by over 1 stop when compared to use the stock reflector that comes with the AD300PRO II. Is this good for beginners? Yes, and it's built to scale with you as your skills grow. It is the flash that we recommend most often for customers starting to use off-camera flash. How portable is it? Lightweight and compact— the AD300PRO II is ideal for photographers on the move. It weighs just 2.6 lbs. What softboxes can I use? The AD300PRO II works very well with many different softboxes and modifiers. We like pairing it with the SMDV FLIP32G to create a lightweight, run and gun setup. The Godox AD-S85S and AD-S60S are also good lightweight and portable options. If you use the Godox S3 Bowens adapter, you can use ANY Bowens mount softbox, including our popular SNAP and EXO lines of softboxes created exclusively for MoLight. If you're researching gear options or reading a Godox AD300Pro II review, note that many reviewers compare it directly with the eVOLV 300 and eVOLV 300 Pro under the Flashpoint brand.
