\n\tGodox has announced the AD400 Pro II, the second-generation version of its 400W portable strobe. The updated flash features a refreshed design, improved usability, and several performance upgrades from the company\u2019s higher-end models. It is now available for pre-order at $649<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\tKey Changes to the AD400 Pro II<\/p>\n

\n\tDesigned for photographers who need a balance between power and portability, the AD400 Pro II maintains the same 400Ws output as the original but introduces a 2.4-inch color display, a redesigned control layout, and a 30W bi-color LED modeling lamp with a 2800K\u20136500K temperature range. It also gains faster wireless performance, improved syncing options, and enhanced high-speed capabilities, making it suitable for both studio and on-location shooting.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe flash uses Godox\u2019s 2.4GHz Wireless X System, supporting up to 16 groups and 32 channels with a working range of 100 meters. It remains compatible with popular Godox triggers, including the X1, X2T, XPro II, and the new X3, and introduces a new Group Color Function, allowing users to assign colors to each group for easier identification in complex lighting setups.<\/p>\n

\n\tInside, the AD400 Pro II still delivers 400 watt-seconds of power with adjustable output down to 1\/512. Its 21.6V\/2600mAh lithium battery provides up to 460 full-power flashes per charge, with recycle times ranging from 0.01 to 1 second. The flash supports high-speed sync up to 1\/8000s and debuts a Freeze Mode, enabling ultra-short flash durations as fast as 1\/27,770s (t0.1), making it ideal for freezing fast motion.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cWith 400 Ws of output and up to 460 full-power flashes per charge, the AD400 Pro II delivers sustained, studio-grade performance on location. High-speed sync up to 1\/8000 s lets you freeze action and balance flash in bright conditions. Whether you\u2019re shooting high-dynamic sports or ultra-short exposures in daylight, every detail comes through with stunning clarity,\u201d Godox says.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe flash has a guide number of GN72 at ISO 100 with the standard reflector, providing plenty of power for indoor and outdoor setups. Its updated 30W bi-color LED modeling lamp features high CRI\/TLCI ratings of 97\/98, making it a capable option for video work as well.<\/p>\n

\n\tWeighing 2kg, the AD400 Pro II is built for portability and comes bundled with a reflector, carrying bag, battery, and charger. It also supports a wide range of light modifiers, including Bowens, Profoto, Elinchrom, and Broncolor adapters, and works with the optional H400P extension head for more flexible setups.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe AD400 Pro II joins the AD200 Pro II<\/a> and AD600 Pro II<\/a> in Godox\u2019s Wistro lineup, giving photographers a full range of strobe options based on power and portability needs.<\/p>\n

\tPricing and Availability<\/p>\n

\n\tThe Godox AD400 Pro II is priced at $649 and is available now for pre-order through B&H Photo<\/a> and Adorama<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"by Darryl Lara posted Monday, August 25, 2025 at 12:48 PM EDT Godox has announced the AD400 Pro…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":95127,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[64,63,70217,70219,70216,70218,105],"class_list":{"0":"post-95126","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-technology","8":"tag-au","9":"tag-australia","10":"tag-digital-camera","11":"tag-digital-camera-comparison","12":"tag-digital-cameras","13":"tag-digital-cameras-reviews","14":"tag-technology"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/95126","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=95126"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/95126\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/95127"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=95126"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=95126"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=95126"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
