Generally you are one of the most precise and detailed mentors on the web, that's fantastic review which will encourage me to by this moonlight, can't thank you enough
I don't know why I didn't subscribe earlier. Yet here I am, a new subscriber of your channel. I got a heart attack when I saw the price of broncolor 😔. My happiness is back, and I feel relief for this! Thank you very much.
This video is so right about so many youtube channels and how they create and not tell us all of their gear and how they set it up . Thank you for making this video
Actually, I find the opposite is true. So many YT channels go on and on about the gear and never go into the ideas, the whys behind photography. Even worse, they talk about all the functions of gear and never share their actual work, which often if you scratch beneath the surface really isn't all that good.
Seriously too good too good explanation nd Comparision.. The way You teach how to use Flash step by step in diffrent condition is out standing... Relly Helpful.. Keep it up Sir...
wowww excellent review sir, I'm thinking of getting me one of these Godox now I'm convinced! Also, this is the very first time I've completed watching a review in full, amazing! thank you for sharing!
This light is amazing for shooting outside as I do with most shoots on my channel. But especially for overpowering the sun, with this light you get remarkable lighting and images as well as great recharge time and battery power!
The only youtube that tells the truth about the lower (1.3 stops) power output of the pro compared to the 600. Other youtube vids. make other claims that they are equal without proving it. ie. not using a flash meter. Many thanks for an excellent, objective and honest presentation.
Frankly saying....this topic bounced over the head specially first half. Very Very advanced for majority of us. One more request please don't jump topics like this, please proceed in a series. It will will good for learners and easy for you to make videos. Thanks
Krishna your video is comprehensive and very detailed. It made me change my mind and buy ad600 pro instead of the ad600. Congrats on making a great video and keep up the good work :)
Fantastic video.... as you always do! Another EXTREMELY important feature is the Bowens-type mount which opens up a really big world of potential light modifiers. That is very, very nice. By the way, I am extremely jealous of all of your Sekonic gear. You have no idea how much I have always wanted to have a spectrometer to play with. Oh well. I can just watch yours on RUclips.
Greetings from Canada. This is one of the best videos I’ve seen comparing the two AD-600’s. My only feedback would be to have shown the AD-600 at 1/4 & 1/128 when measuring WB, f, & CRI. Both were compared at 1/1 but only the pro was demonstrated at other values. Other than that, excellent video. Very methodical and easy to follow.
Thank you Mike for your feedback... We did test the consistency of AD600 at 1/4 and 1/128. And they are comparable to AD600Pro. Didn't include that portion in the video since the length of the video was going out of control! As you can see, it is already 21 minutes!
Hi Mike, I'm in Canuk too and bought the Godox AD600 in the US from B&H. From what I can figure the equivalent light is sold here relabelled as" Strobepro" - just google their site. They also have some excellent demo videos.
Each time i watch your video i conclude that ad600b is a better proposition. I find it hard to justify investing in ad600 pro, less power, slight variation in color accuracy. Most photographers colour grade their pictures anyway. The ad600bm is between 35k to 38k and ad600 pro is between 47k to 50k, quite a hefty difference there. If i invest in ad600b then i can get both the trigger and that 120cm deep parabolic softbox with grid in the price of ad600 pro. I like your honest review and the fact that you didn't fudge the numbers. This induces respect. Thanks for making this intuitive and informative video. It is of great help. Thanks and regards from Prayag.
Really great review covering all of the finer points about the light. I am a photographer with 11 years of experience working full time. I have many studio light but want to add more light with high speed sync capability. This review answered all my questions. Thank you
simply wow....Amazed.. :) Once Again Radhakrishnan sir ans team... very well done towards explaining... If icould buy some time out of this busy world, i would like to join and learn from you more and more.. Keep going.. you are simply Great.. :)
ATG stated that the 1 F-Stop lower was due to the insert lamp protector, which is also used on Profoto B1. The lamp protector has silver coated but due to the closeness of the flashtube, there is no angle projected outward like a disc like surfaces. But if you remove the lamp protector and place the ATG Gold 1X Reflector, then you will get 2 F-Stops! So for beginners, amateurs up to pro using strobe, the reflector is really important. Kinda like using a pressure washer, the nozzle is very important if you need good results. PIXEL VILLAGE, we don't like to use 500WS & lower because they just don't have the power. But they are market to beginners & amateurs that are stepping out from those weak candlelight speedlite. At the same time companies are paying reviewers to boost the 400ws by saying, they like to shoot with that lousy depth-of-field looks. FYI: for people that don't understand simple math in number. placing a diffusser over your flashtube (light). 2.5+ lost of light. we use simple number of 400. we know half of 400 is 200. and half of 200 is 100. are you still lost? off course not. so what is the number now when 2.5 is given? chime in if you know the answer. then add WS (watt second) at the end of the number.
Thanks so much for this. One thing I'd not considered is the modeling light wattage. The AD600BM has a 10W modeling lamp too like the AD600, whereas the AD400Pro has a 30W modeling lamp closer to the 38W of the AD600Pro, 3-4X the former. I was pretty set on getting the AD600BM until learning this. Now I'm strongly considering paying a bit more for the AD400Pro. The 600Pro is still out of my price range as of now, but I may get the 400 instead of 600 so I can have that higher powered modeling lamp, the trade off being 200W power. Camera gear is always full of decisions!
Battery operated flashes are primarily meant to be used on location and not in the studio. And such situations, power of the flash will be more important than the power of the modelling lamp. Because even if you have a 500W modelling lamp, it still will be useless in outdoor shoots. Hence, I will out my money for more flash power than the LED light's brightness. 🙏
A 30+ watt modeling light will drain your batteries way faster, if a modeling lamp is so important to you these are not the right lights to be looking at
Sir I m from Pakistan. Learning Photography for last 6 months by tutorials on youTube. I have Canon Eos 80d. TPB is The photography Bloger (Hindi). I m also of same age as you are.
Suleman Syed Really happy to receive your feedback. Please do not hesitate to ask incase if you have any doubts. I shall try to answer to the best of my abilities. You may mail me at radha@pixelviilage.com. 🙏 😊
Hello, it would be nice if you add the name of the model in your video description details. This is a very nice alternative to the much more expensive studio flashes. As always, a very good tutorial.
Thanks! Finally someone telling he truth about the pro losing at least one stop of light power over the ad600. Considering this, I would take godox ad600 over the pro any day. One stop of light is just too much sacrifice.
A truly educational video. Thank you!!!! Subscribed to learn more from you! Off to sell off my Elinchrom studio strobes to buy the XPLOR600Pro. I see no reason to hold on to old technology!
5 yrs later watching this. Just got the 600 pro from the bm manual version. Glad to have access to the regular bowens mount. The low profile ring was a bad design.
It was a great detailed video, after I finished watching it I searched ad600 pro on internet and I was like "Kaash mein yeh le pata.. " It's around 120k in pak rs.. Very much expensive
HSS means i wouldn't anymore need an ND filter to shoot outdoors wide open. Lovely. My Einsteins didn't allow this unless I used my NDs. Excited to get my unit!
PIXEL VIILAGE Very very nice video. Thank you very much sir. You are an excellent photography Teacher. I like you and your nice voice and your PIXEL VIILAGE Channel. Thanks again.
A one stop difference in power is not negligible! That implies half power for the Pro, though is there a way to remove the diffusing glass cap? Maybe that's what cuts the output by 50%...
brilliant video again sir!!! your voice so crisp and clear the price difference between these two is made me go with ad600 there is no huge difference in output but end of the day 200 shots may come in handy for budding photographers like me and the build quality in 600 pro is better than 600 but for newbies like me i think 600b is worth every penny !!! but professionals will get new gear anyway .. sir please do make some videos about compositions and lighting thank you sir :)
Hello, do you know where can I find the screw which is at the end of the flash light which tightens the grip on the light stand. Would really appreciate if you can reply. Thank You.
I’ve watched hundreds of tutorials and reviews on RUclips but never had a chance to meet such a nice personality and a great teacher plus reviewer
🙏🙏🙏
I already have 2 of AD600 pro and 2 of AD600 this was the best review on internet
which one do you find better and why. I hope your answer will be specific like this video. Not like "It depends", like other average reviewers.
@@arunhembram1859 Definitely the pro version is better and worth the upgrade
@@michonn2 Thank you, sir.
It's more than two years after this video has come out and it's still so helpful! Thank you so much!
Generally you are one of the most precise and detailed mentors on the web, that's fantastic review which will encourage me to by this moonlight, can't thank you enough
very satisfying watch - and you remind me of my old physics teacher who was from India... a very nice man too.
Andrew farrington 😁🙏
Your experiments are very much self explanatory, which I like very much, keep doing the great work Sir.
You are an excellent photography "professor", with a gift for explanation.
Thank you.
You make some of the best videos on RUclips, not to mention I love your voice. Thank you so much for all you do!!!

It's around 120k in pak rs..
Very much expensive
Babar Zaman OK! Try the AD200 which again is a great flash unit. A lot cheaper. 🙏 😊
Outstanding Presentation
Thank you Sir. Very well made comparison.
Very honest review. I liked and appreciate it.
Please can you do a review on the new Godox XPro trigger with the AD600 & AD600Pro
Great review, thanks, very well explained,, no doubt
Excellent professional master video thanks so much 😇
@pixelvillage May I ask the name of camera that you were using please !

Thank you very much sir. You are an excellent photography Teacher.
I like you and your nice voice and your

Love ur example based videos. Can you make a video on 2nd curtain sync flash photography?
Love your videos!
Excellent and informative... thank you sir.
best review on youtube.
Thank you, Sir!! Very informative
please set do a class on the use of exposure compensation it would be realy helpfull
This is gonna be my next product...
Great teacher, beautiful beautiful model 👌🏽
Sir, Is the high speed syn achievable at M mode as it appears at 07:49 th minute of this video. Or is it achievable only at TTL mode ?
@PIXEL VIILAGE = what model NIKON CAMERA is used in this video???
A one stop difference in power is not negligible! That implies half power for the Pro, though is there a way to remove the diffusing glass cap? Maybe that's what cuts the output by 50%...
As usual..a great video..
The tripod used for the AD600 Pro seems very sturdy, what is the one your using?
brilliant video again sir!!! your voice so crisp and clear the price difference between these two is made me go with ad600 there is no huge difference in output but end of the day 200 shots may come in handy for budding photographers like me and the build quality in 600 pro is better than 600 but for newbies like me i think 600b is worth every penny !!! but professionals will get new gear anyway .. sir please do make some videos about compositions and lighting thank you sir :)
