Yet another reason why, pound for pound, the champion of flashes is the AD200. I almost bought a V1 for hot shoe flash at weddings and events,. For nearly the same price of an AD200 it was a hard choice but I knew I couldn't make an AD200 work on my camera! That's until you put us on to the extension with the round head. So I bought an additional AD200 instead of a V1 and I was able to bounce with 200 watts of power. 2 Ad200's with the extension accessory and you got a beast of a kit. Thanks so much!
The AD200 round head drops the power you get from the AD200. It pretty well matches what the Ad100 puts out from testing. If you could put the Ad200 fresnel or Ad200 bare bulb in it you'd gain power. The round head is nice on the Ad200 but the power drop off isn't worth it if you already own ad100's.
@@gosman949 It is the Godox EC200 extension flash head. It really is an extension cable. One end goes onto the AD200 like the other heads (rectangular speedlight, bare bulb, optional round head, optional LED). At the other end of the cable you mount the head that you want. For use with the Angler FastBox with the Godox V1 adapter, you’ll only be able to use the round head (whether it is directly on the AD200, or is attached to the end of the EC200 extension cable).
@@gosman949 Just to clarify, you can put the AD200 with round head directly on the Angler FastBox -- no cable needed. This does put more weight on the magnets. If you have the old 14-magnet V1 adapter, that could be a problem if the stand gets bumped or you're hand-holding. If you have the new FB-CA 6-magnet adapter, the new locking tab at the top will eliminate that problem. Or, buy an AD100 and use it instead of the AD200+round head. It will cost more ($299 for the AD100 vs. $80 for the round head). But it is smaller and lighter. Also, the AD100 occasionally goes on sale for $199. While the round head also goes on sale (it's currently $60 at B&H), I'd wait for an AD100 sale and put the $80 (or $60) towards the AD100. I say this speaking as a person with 4 AD200s, 4 round heads and 2 extension cables. I sold two of my AD200s to pay for two AD100s (purchased on sale). I love the AD100s and the Angler FastBox 24". (I also love the older 14-magnet V1 adapter for the FastBox since it packs flatter than the new FB-CA 6-magnet locking tab adapter.)
@@pmurph5 I have FB-CA adapter with AD200 round head. Unfortunately the round head does not fit completely in the adapter and does not attach to the magets (there is a sizable gap between the round head and the magnets). Please let me know if I’m missing something here. I’m afraid if I push harder I’d break something.
As of September 21 2020, I believe B&H no longer sells the V1 or Profoto “all magnet” adapters. These have 14 magnets to hold the flash head. Instead, the new FB-CA adapter is supplied. This has 6 weaker magnets plus a locking tab which ensures the flash cannot fall out. While that is good, the adapter is also twice as deep. When the FastBox is folded, the FB-CA will stick up about 1” higher than the old V1/Profoto adapters which were flush with the FastBox. Note there is currently some confusion at the B&H page for the kit with the 24” FastBox, V1 adapter and grid. One photo shows the old 14-magnet adapter, another shows the new FB-CA. If you order this, you will get the FB-CA.
@@kaskoPhoto Are you able to use the AD200Pro extension head on the Angler Fastbox? Which adapter ring are you using with it? My AD200Pro extension head absolutely will not fit into the FB-CA adapter ring.
@@michaelmaklakov2111 you can, but it Hass to be used with the original adapter. Check the angler website and reach out to them to see if they have the original.
Can you explain your last setup? The angler fastbox, ad200pro and the extension and cord i believe it is? Wanting to purchase but unsure of what all is called.
I have just bought the Adorama eVOLV 200 Pro TTL (their version of the Godox AD200Pro). The eVOLV 200 Round Flash Head (Godox H200R) absolutely does not fit into the adapter ring that I use with my AD100Pro flashes on the Angler Fastboxes. I saw that you were able to get it into the Angler adapter while it was on the flash head extension, which is what I am trying to do as well. I am wondering if there has been some design change? Maybe if I buy an older round flash head, it might work better? I can get it to work with the Fresnel head, but I'm disappointed that the round head doesn't work. It looks like Angler will soon be coming out with an adapter for the bare bulb head, which should be interesting. April 10, 2024-I just got the FB-PA2 adapter ring. Now, I can confirm that this works with the Angler Fastboxes and the Godox Round Head on the extension cable. The 14 magnets on this adapter ring hold quite well. Writing to Angler did not resolve the problem. Angler staff told me that soon an adapter for AD200Pro would be coming out ($90, on their site). However, they were referring to the same adapter which is available now on the SMDV site for $49.95, which I also bought. This adapter, however, is for the bulb head. I can confirm that it works well.
i HAVE Godox H200R Round Flash Head for AD200 AD200Pro BUT Angler FastBox Adapter is to small, which adaprer did you use for Godox H200R Round Flash Head? on your video time 2:49 you show but you never say the kind of Angler FastBox Adapter :)
@The F/Stops Here I tried your set up with ad200pro + remote head + Angler FB-CA FastBox Adapter (for godox v1) . the adapter does not working well since it is too tight. In the video 2:56, what is the adapter you used? it seems not the godox v1 adapter. Is it Profoto A1 adapter( FB-PA1 )? Thanks for your great video and information.
I just find out the adapter of Angler Softbox for ad200Por H200R(round head), which is Profoto A2 adapter( FB-PA2 ) very strong magnet just like video.
I'm new to flash photography, and I've been debating on getting a magmod magshoe v2 + umbrella with the AD200 + remote head for handheld flash photography, notably for outdoor use (I want to avoid using a tripod to keep things simple). Can you think of any cons with that setup, or anything you'd add/change?
I'm not clear on what you are saying about the B1 or V1 attaching to the same soft box. One is stronger than the other but you are using the same flash on both. Or it's not clear which flash you are using. please clarify.
You have this angler fastbox but also the glow parasnap or something in US, nothing like this in the EU to my knowledge. I need something like this in the Netherlands, but cannot find anything like this. I need it to be super compact because i travel by motercycle and my entire kit needs to fit in a backpack. I dont like umbrellas and like the option to also mount it on a video light and still be compact. Does anyone know how to obtain either the angler or glow in the EU (traveling to UK this summer, so that should be fine to)
@@chmakmail use the gels inside the softbox itself, not on the flash. Collapse the box and put them on the inside metal ring - then reopen the box and attach your flash.
So you can use the round head adapter for the ad200 with no problem? I have the extion heads. Have you tried it with the bare bulbs? Let me know please.
The OP method does not work with Angler. Not sure if SMDV mount works with Angler boxes but the bare bulb works as well as stock fresnel ruclips.net/video/0YQgsIpmXfA/видео.html
