Probably the first strobe that can be used while plugged in a USBC battery back! I’ve been using it for couple of months already too and it has its strong points! Cheers!

I wish they made that fan reflector for the AD200... would be ideal for my photobooth

I actually just ordered this with the softbox and dome with the intent on using this little flash for courthouse JP weddings. I usually hold a speedlite in my hand with a Gary Fong dome but with the size and weight of this flash with a dome on top is TOTALLY right up my alley! Will make holding a flash up with a dome on it so much easier than my Godox speedlite and I don’t have to worry about tilt or any of that as I’m holding the light in my hand anyway. Wish you could have covered the additional diffusers but I do get that you focused more on what it came with rather than the additional goodies you can buy separately. Thanks for the review tho! Needed to hear more about the build quality so I know what to expect when it arrives. Now I’m nervous of it coming in with a broken screen 🤣

one feature you didn't mention overly well was that of including a pc sync cable, a boon for us film photographers, esp. since this and the bracket means us hasselblad users can use it straight out of the box, no separate transmitters/pocket wizards to get, so keeps costs down, same as the bracket, allowing camera attachment, so no light stands required. also thanks for the shutter speed sync demo, it shows us film users that 1/2000 and 1/500 are usable (max shutter speeds for 200 and 500 hasselblad users due to the leaf and curtain shutters).

I own quite a bit of Godox products and I have never had a problem with their products. I really like the new trigger it synced up with the master lux really easy on my Sony a7rv

Great review!! I guess maybe this stuff not capable to serve all Purposes of photography need but it's a great collectable.

Thanks for this very helpful review, Wes!

Nice and thorough - Thanks. You said the light was fantastic out of it. I guess that's if people don't mind that still head-on look mostly ?? I appreciate you additionally demonstrated it angled up.

It's really annoying that the sensor for auto flash is not included in the box! To me, that's one of the biggest features of the Godox Lux series, the fact that they all have sensor-based auto mode. Flashes from the later film era all had little sensors on the front to give you auto exposure without knowing anything about the camera--just set the ISO of the film on the flash, and set the camera to the aperture the flash power requires, and the sensor does the rest. It's super versatile and works on pretty much any film camera that can sync with a flash. The fact that it *is* a remote sensor is pretty cool, because it means you can use different modifiers or bounce flash and still get the correct exposure, but the fact that they don't include it with the flash really sucks.

Funcionará para eventos??????

Thanks Wes. I kind of want one for my silver X-T5, but I use it and an X-H2 with a godox v860iii at events and use bounce flash a lot. It looks cool, with a retro style camera, but I probably wouldn't actually use it much.

Great review, now I'm disappointed that my pen-f doesn't have a sync socket.

This was almost interesting but without wireless transmitter capability of other Godox flash units, it's a pass. Shame as it looks kinda cool.

As much as I love this flash (it would look so good on my pen-f), I'll pass on buying one, simply because of the in-built battery. What happens when the battery dies, do you have to buy a new flash, or send it away to get the battery replaced? Another possible issue that I have is, I would rather mount the flash on the righthand side of the camera simply to have the flash higher when shooting portraits.

yeah nice and would look good on my Nikon ZF, yet... I don't know :D

Quality Control is definitely not one of Godox's strong points. My LCD screen on the Lux Master is not perfectly level. It is actually tilted at about 3 degrees from horizontal. 😩😩😩 Definitely not ideal for OCD people😖😖😖

I still have my Sunpak 120J!😁😁😁😁😁😁
