Godox AD800Pro Outdoor Flash

Take advantage of a broad set of professional level features and dependable performance with the 800Ws AD800Pro all in one outdoor flash from Godox. The AD800Pro is a smart option for photographers working on location or in demanding studio settings by delivering strong output, refined control, and the quality focused design elements that creators across many genres appreciate. Its power output is adjustable across a ten stop range, opening up extensive creative flexibility, and its detachable battery pack design adds welcome convenience and portability. As part of the Godox 2.4 GHz wireless X system, the AD800Pro was engineered to be as user friendly as possible, offering multiple triggering options and a variety of thoughtful enhancements. With recycling times from 0.01 to 1.5 seconds, support for up to 300 full power flashes, high speed sync capability, and a freeze mode for capturing fast action, this flash delivers serious performance. A 40W bicolor LED modeling light is also built in, making it ideal for hybrid shooters who move between video and strobe work. Its sleek and compact body incorporates Godox group color identification, a clear 2.8 inch color display, and a widely compatible Bowens mount for modifiers.

The AD800Pro supports a wide range of TTL systems including Canon, Nikon, Sony, OM SYSTEM, Panasonic, FUJIFILM, Leica, and Pentax. All settings can be adjusted directly on the unit or controlled wirelessly through the Godox wireless X system. Remote control requires a separately purchased Godox trigger such as the X3 or X3Pro. With a daylight balanced output around 5800K, the AD800Pro performs reliably in most flash lighting scenarios and is well suited for commercial applications like portrait and product photography, while remaining intuitive enough for advanced enthusiasts.

As a member of Godoxs 2.4 GHz wireless X system with an operating range of up to 328 feet, the AD800Pro supports 16 groups, 32 channels, and 99 IDs for efficient multi light setups. When paired with optional transmitters such as the X3, X2T, XPro II, or XPro series, users can work in manual, multi, or TTL modes with dependable wireless triggering. Built in transmitter and receiver functionality allows the AD800Pro to integrate seamlessly with other Godox on camera, outdoor, and studio flashes. When acting as a receiver, it can be controlled by compatible units like the V1Pro, V1, and V860III. A 3.5 mm sync port is also included for wired triggering when needed.

In addition to its primary wireless system, the AD800Pro can also operate using 433 MHz connectivity by attaching the optional FR433 receiver through the USB C port. This option improves signal stability and helps reduce interference in challenging environments, though it requires the separately available FT433 trigger. When paired together, the transmitter and receiver can also extend transmission distance. The FT433 is compatible with Canon, Nikon, and Sony cameras and can control additional Godox flashes such as the AD100Pro II, AD200Pro II, AD300Pro II, AD400Pro II, AD600Pro II, and AD600BM II.

Like other second generation models in the AD series, the AD800Pro includes group color identification, with each of the 16 groups displaying a unique color on the flash head for quick visual recognition even at a distance. The physical design emphasizes intuitive operation, with clearly laid out buttons, a responsive rotating selection dial, and settings shown on the bright 2.8 inch color screen. The detachable battery pack further enhances handling and usability during extended shoots.

Delivering 800Ws of power with ten steps of output adjustment from full power down to one over five hundred twelve in precise increments, the AD800Pro also features a stable color temperature mode that maintains consistent color output within a very narrow range across all power levels. The flash is powered by a detachable 28.8 volt 2900 mAh lithium battery that provides approximately 300 full power flashes per charge. Godox includes the battery, charger, and power cable, and a full charge takes about two hours. The system is also compatible with optional accessories such as the H600P extension head, AC26 AC power source, and UC46 power adapter for added flexibility.

With recycling times kept between 0.01 and 1.5 seconds, the AD800Pro is designed for fast paced shooting. High speed sync enables shutter speeds up to one eight thousandth of a second, while standard flash durations range from one three hundred fiftieth to one eleven thousand four hundredth of a second. Color flash mode offers durations down to one nine thousand two hundred twentieth of a second, and freeze mode reaches as fast as one thirty five thousand seven hundred tenth of a second. These capabilities make it well suited for freezing motion in sports, dance, wildlife, and dynamic splash photography.

The built in 40W LED modeling light offers extensive control with adjustable color temperature from 2800 to 6000K and brightness levels from ten to one hundred percent. With high CRI and TLCI ratings, it delivers accurate color reproduction and can be used to preview lighting setups or serve as a practical fill light for video recording. Dedicated controls allow quick access to modeling light settings, making transitions between stills and video efficient.

Thanks to its Bowens type front mount, the AD800Pro is compatible with a wide range of light shaping accessories including softboxes, umbrellas, snoots, and other modifiers. Weighing approximately seven pounds with the battery attached, it maintains a compact footprint that is easy to transport and set up. Additional conveniences include battery level indicators, a secure battery release mechanism, automatic power saving, and multiple layers of battery protection against electrical issues. Further features include a guide number suitable for powerful illumination, wireless off and on camera flash modes, optical slave modes, front and rear curtain sync, stroboscopic flash capabilities, adjustable flash delay, customizable operational settings, firmware updates via USB C, over temperature protection, and a user replaceable flash tube.
