This video is a guide to using the Godox Witstro AD200 Pro Flash / aka Flashpoint Evolv 200 Pro.
In it I go over mounting the AD200 Pro, button operations and functions, as well as the cryptic custom functions menu. If you are looking for how to learn flash photography, check out my beginners guide to off camera flash playlist.

THANK YOU for making this exactly what the title said! No unboxing nonsense, not a review of your portfolio, no ad in the middle, etc. Absolutely perfect for what I needed, and that gets you a subscription!
Glad you appreciated it! I do those things sometimes, but guides are always purely guides!
This is the best ad200 instructional video.
So many content creators go on and on.
You’re succinct, clear and concise.
I just want to say that this is the best explanation video I have every seen on any product ever. Doesnt waste time and go straight to the point. Thank you very much. Liked.
Agreed!
I also agree. This was super helpful!
Perfect amount of detail in less then 10 min...thank you!
Appreciate you taking time to go through the F numbers in the menu section. That helped me sync it to my trigger. 👍
So this is a lifesaver. Thought I could figure out all the functions of my new flash by bumbling through as usual but was struggling … this video is beyond helpful, thanks much!
a black friday purchase from adorama. thank you for the effort and the sharing. i am an appreciative subscriber. now all i need is to figure out how best to use the AD200! thumbs up.
Best instructional video on RUclips that I've seen. Bravo! SUBSCRIBED.
Fantastic! One of the best photography gear “how tos” of all time!! Thanks.
Thank you! This is very informative and helpful...I accidentally reset the flash to factory settings and couldn't figure out what I needed to do. Turns out I needed to go into F7 and set an ID function.
Just got my AD200 today and this has been such a huge help. Thanks so much Robert! Now off to check your off-camera flash playlist 💛
Hey. How long it took you to get the hang of it? Do you feel like the strobe has improved the quality of your work since you got it? I'm about to order mine, so excited.
I just got the AD200 Pro and was lost, even with the manual. Thanks for making it all make sense. Now to figure out the X-Pro C.
Great overview. Very detailed while being easily understandable.
Perfect, I finally bought and received my evolve ad200 pro
Awesome video!

Great video. To the point, no nonsense.
I've resisted these for a while, but it's time to pull the trigger. I'm thinking of a two-head kit with one or two extension cables.
Amazing, straight to the point 🙌🙌😎

Thanks for the video. Very useful.
Great job, thanks!
This was amazing. Thank you!!!!!!!
Good information....thank you so much!
Very informative, thanks so much 💙
Thank you for the in-depth user guide of AD200 pro. I just bought the V1 pro and the AD200 pro. If I use V1 pro as master and Ad200 as a slave, with CHannel, group and ID matching I can only connect in Manual mode. In TTL they don't sync. I would appreciate if you can give me an insight of what I am doing wrong setting-wise. Thank you in advance. Subscribed and liked already !!
Thank You Robert - this got me going! Just enough info, good pace, understandable.
Thank you so much for this, life saver
Thanks! Im getting Adorama doorbuster deal 2for $509 kit
Good video bro.Can u help to make a video on how to activate hypersync mode and show us which trigger to use and how to set the trigger for hypersync mode.I am having problem to understand how to use it.Thx
Excellent. This was very helpful. A general question for Robert, or anyone else who might know: When using this flash in combination with gels, is the temperature set by the gel and held at that level, or can it vary in the same way a bare bulb might vary. Thanks again for the video and any feedback....
Hi Robert, thanks for these instructional videoes that are always inspirational.
Among other ones they led me to buying the Godox AD200 Pro recently, even if I already had 2 Godox V860iii speedlights.
Now, what you do not cover in this video, and what I fear is an undocumented feature, I discovered this by accident.
And it has to do with the color stability or color temperature mode (C). Even with that turned off in F8, try this...
Put the unit in M mode and long press the Set button. The display changes and shows 2 numbers on top of each other and the (C) symbol turns on.
My unit shows "330"on top and "0000" below that. Turning the dial increases/decreases the below number which actually seems to range 0010-5600.
So to me that sounds °K... The mode button and the Gr/Ch button increase respectively decrease the top number which ranges from "100" to "330".
Which doesn't ring a bell at all.
In order not to mess anything up I simply reset the unit to factory settings.
Also, turning the unit off and on again makes these numbers disappear. However, the unit still has C.Fn 8 turned on !
Do you have any idea what these settings are all about ? So far I cannot find any relevant info.
Anyway, keep this magnificent channel up and running !
Regards,
Frank
Hey Frank, definitely never heard of this - although not surprised as I just learned about a secret, undocumented feature on another Godox product. All my AD200's are in the studio, so I'll check it out next time I'm in there.
Your are my saviour ❤
You are the man!!
Just got this flash. Using it in tandem with two Godox V1s.
Does the modelling lamp, let's say at full power on the bulb, have a noticable effect on the battery life?
Hi Robert, another superb video.
Any idea what the 2 lines of numbers are when you long press the Set button,
mine display Cannel A 0300 and 0020 . Can't find any reference in the manuals, the only entry on the internet is guessing at a reduced power level, does not seem likely
Robert you mentioned you can set stroboscopic mode from the trigger. How do you do that.
thank you so much.
Hi Robert, thanks very much for the helpful guide. I recently got an AD200Pro. On my flash I can see the test button on the back keeps flashing in red quite often. What does this mean? Also if I turn on the beep, it keeps beeping for as long as the led is flashing. I went through the manual, but didn't find anything.
Really clear! (But how do I get the barn doors off?)
When I press "set" button for 2 seconds, I enter mode which isn't explained anywhere in manual. Some numbers show on screen, but I don't know what they mean. Do you know how to explain it? I noticed that in this mode flash can fire at lower power than even 1/256 in normal mode.
What would I do without you, Rob? Thanks! Question please: Can I change the flash increment from .1 stops to .3? I feel like it's easier to align/makes changes to match with my camera when changing exposure? Like if I change camera exposure in 1/3 stops I want the flash clicks up and down to be the same #? Make sense? What do you think of this idea, does it matter?
Is there a way to change settings on this flash and override the transmitter? Using a flashpoint R2 single pin transceiver
Very Helpful!
I’ll be watching this again when my unit arrives.
Fantastic.
Can this be used as a product photography light? Any suggestions on accessories if so?
Thanks
When I trigger the flash using X2T trigger the Flash works but the light stays on, Any setting to turn this continuous light off (post triggering flash)
thank you!!!
Quick Question, If you long press the Set button on the Godox Ad200Pro , on manual mode, some number like 330 appears with some zero on the bottom , what does that mean ? can anyone help please ! i searched a lot of tutorials online and didn't find what it actually means ! thanks for your help !
How do I hold the AD200 across the other side of the room and have it trigger my cameras shutter to take the photo?
Is the round head ther same diameter as the head on the V1? I'm wondering if the accessories for the V1 will work an the AD200 round head because I'm using the V1 system now and like it. I'd like to add at least one AD200 for power and versatility.
Perfect !
First and still on lock down. Hello from NYC.
Hang in there!
Will the evolv work with godox triggers since they are basically the same thing?
HI, thanks for the video, but my ad pro got offline after I shouted with it. I couldn't find why this happen :(
Very well explained! ...and... Do you have a tutorial on the transmitters available for the AD200? Thank you!
Yup, x1, XPro and R2 Pro II. Just search my channel for them
Is there a way to make it so that power level is not reset to full power after taking a photo?
Can you pls do a godox beauty dish comparison? BDR 55 & 55 Pro?
Almost no info about them in RUclips
Thank you Robert for the great infos! I still have one question: If you long press the set button, numbers will appear in two lines, what you can change. I didn't find any description for that numbers, can you tell what are they for?
I have the same question. I can't figure it out, but I noticed that in this mode flash can fire at lower power than even 1/256.
What the name for the plastic case for the Ad200? Or where I can find it?
Is it possible to change the zoom of this flash or is it already fixed?
Hi Robert, thanks for the useful video. I just got my AD200 Pro and started to figure it out with your video. You are mentioning that you made a dedicated video for F5 in the menu, I had a look at your channel but I didn't understand which video is it. Can you share its link please? Thanks in advance.

My flash is sometimes blinking the stand by button continuously and beeping. There is no troubleshooting in the manual. It stops when I press the button but can start again after a while. Do you know what this is?
Great tutorial. What is the difference between the rectangular sealed flash that came on the strobe vs switching out the head and put halogen glass like bulb that came with it?
The Fresnel head (rectangle) has a 35mm beam angle and creates a more concentrated beam of light that is harsher. But compatible with speedlight modifiers like Magmod attachments. The barebulb (halogen-glass like) fires light in all directions, which is better for spreading light as most studio modifiers are designed for, like softboxes, beauty dishes, reflectors, etc.
Thank you for your prompt reply. Was about to make a mistake tomorrow then. Glad I asked. I’ve Liked your Facebook page too as you produce quality videos.
so upgrading from AD200 to the pro one is not that necessary right? even u dont use the color stability mode. I mean to correct color is achievable by using RAW format right?
I stated my piece on that in my review of the ad200 pro.
Color stability isn't really about whether or not you can fix it in raw. It's about having more consistency between shots to reduce adjustments image to image, resulting in faster processing time for large volumes of images, such as people who shoot products or e-commerce clothing. It's about having lower variance between multiple lights, something you can't fix globally in raw and would require time-crushing masking to adjust.
There's no single answer to whether it's worth it or not, as the impact of the improvements will be felt differently depending on the photographer.
Do you ever have any problems with Godox misfires? I recently started using several battery powered Godox flashes , 200’s and 400’s, with my Nikon camera, and I’m missing shots due to the controller or flash units sleeping. Really painful. Ever have this problem? And what is the solution?
Thanks alot
I really enjoyed most of this video, it gave lots of info in a short period of time and it was well executed. However, when you were explaining menu item F8 (color stable mode) I couldn't tell if you were saying the color is better with it on or off. At one point you said "with stable color mode on will decrease the range of colors that this flash produces." Then you went on to say "so the light is a lot more accurate with stable color mode on." Can you please explain? Thank you
In photography you tend to want consistency between images.
Therefore, less “range of colors” = better / more accurate.
Thanks
Great video.
Can the flash go wide or narrower when using the fresnel head?
No. It's fixed at 35mm.
nice tuto.
isn't it a TCM button to know which power was used in TTL to re-use for manual mode later ?
what is the best way to use it with a softbox like glow EZ 25" ? do we use bareburl, fresnel or round head (less power because more diffused you said but perhaps we need a good round diffucion on the fabrics here ?) ?
There's no TCM button, it's a function of the Pro series triggers, and only controllable there.
Barebulb is what's meant to be used with softboxes and will lead to least specularity.
What’s the name of the round head I have the ad200 pro godox and none of the round heads fit
Hiya, what does it mean when on Amazon it says “built in” or “slave” for a ad200 pro?
Super!
