In this video I offer a rare recommendation into who I think each light will be most suitable for.

I start by making suggestions based on budget alone. With the Godox AD200 coming highly recommended to anyone with a budget of under $400. This is kind of obvious, as the AD300 Pro and AD400 Pro are too expensive.

At a budget above $700, I still recommend AD200's / Flashpoint eVolv 200, although I recommend a kit of 2x AD200's, 1 AD-B2, 1 H200R, and 1 AK-R1 modifier kit. This gets you two AD200's, 2 fresnels heads, 2 barebulbs, and the round head compatible with bounce, snoot, grid, sphere and gels. The AD-B2 allows you to bring together two AD200's for a single, 400w light source that is actually about 1.3 stops more powerful than a single AD200 in an S-bracket, due to the reflective background.

After the budget discussion I make suggestions on lights based on the niche of photography.

For wedding photographers, the Godox AD200 is still king because of it's ultimate compactness, and compatibility with bowens modifiers (using Bowens S Bracket), umbrellas, magmod, and the AK-R1 kit. This gives access to lighting tools that wedding photographers can move around a space quickly.

For solo-subject outdoor portraiture, I think the Godox AD300 Pro / Flashpoint Xplor 400 Pro is the new king. Pairing up with an AD-S65 or AD-S85 softbox and you have a portable lighting tool that will work great even outdoors in bright conditions, at short distances.

As for the Godox AD400 Pro / Flashpoint Xplor 400 Pro, being that it's a bit less portable and lightweight, I think it's better suited to photographers who use larger light sources than are available on the proprietary Godox mount like the AD-S85. To me what sticks out is family photographers or those working with small groups outdoors.

Please leave your comments below if you have a reason why one of these lights works best for your applications!
