I had the same problem. lol

Glad it was helpful!

It can definitely be an issue when enough ambient is picked up by the camera. In most common applications, having the lamp remain on is not going to be a problem. Still, it's interesting that other Godox lights using LED modelling lamps are able to disable their modelling lamps during the flash exposure. We're not sure if this is something Godox can fix with firmware, or if there is a hardware limitation with the type of LED that was used.

@@Strobepro I fully agree that in most common applications it is no problem. Unfortunately, eg. photographers who want to use this lamp for macro photography will be unpleasantly surprised. My intention was to warn such a users and allows them to be aware of this issue. Regarding other Godox lamps - I use AD600Pro, AD600B, V860III, none of these devices have mentioned dysfunction. Modeling light has 2 configurable modes: continuous and interruptible. In second one - LED is disabled before flash is triggered and lights up just a while after flash.

Been looking for this answer for a bit … technically he says u can but too afraid to try

Our pleasure!

The AD100 Pro is quite capable outdoors if you play to its strengths. It will struggle in direct sunlight if you are using any kind of modifier, but keep to the shade and you should be quite happy with it! Hope that helps.

That is correct.

Please make sure you have the latest firmware. It should be there.

Hi Marc, The modelling lamp on the AD100 Pro is a bit of an improvement over the strip of LEDs present on the AD200 Pro. You'll have to go to the AD300 Pro to get into a modelling light that you could feasibly use in a softbox though. If your modelling light is a priority, then you might want to consider some of the plugin options as well (since no modelling light is particularly useful outdoors anyway).

thank you. Just needed in night city portraits and studio with all lights off (i need to maintain a tungsten light or so ON) to help focus more than to see how light is applied. ad400pro modeling light is amazing !

Hi Ted, Yes, but if our slow sales of the AD100 Pro following the common knowledge of this issue is any indication, I suspect there is still a lot of old stock circulating. At our request, Godox sent us a bunch of the new colour-corrected front lenses so that we could swap them onto our existing stock. If you order from us, I can guarantee that your AD100 Pro will be colour-corrected, but I can't make the same promise for other retailers. :)

Please feel free to email us at hello@strobepro.com and we can help you troubleshoot.

@@Strobepro Now is ok ^^. Thank you for ur help

The difference in mathematical terms is ~1.32, so I think he can be forgiven for rounding up. 🙂 He would have served viewers better by saying its ~30% increase

The AD100 Pro is quite a bit smaller (though with a somewhat different form-factor) and it has a zoomable head like a speedlite. Native integration with the AK-R1 accessories is another plus for the AD100 Pro. The AD200 Pro could still be a better choice for your main light, but not every user will need that extra stop of power. If you're one of those users, the AD100 Pro is a better travel companion. For an existing system, the AD100 Pro is a flexible little accent light! I'm afraid price doesn't always scale with watt-seconds, but this little guy still comes in at a cheaper price-point than the AD200 Pro or any flagship flash from the big camera brands (which the AD100 Pro will gleefully outperform). ... Sorry, I got a bit carried away with the sales pitch there. We're not particularly biased though. We do sell the AD200 Pro as well! :)
