Godox AD1200 Pro Overview

From Manufacturer

Featuring wireless control via the 2.4 GHz wireless X system with a range of up to 328' and 1200Ws of power, the AD1200Pro Battery Powered Flash Kit from Godox is an impressive lighting tool compatible with several TTL systems including Canon, Nikon, Sony, Fujifilm, Olympus, and Panasonic. It offers up to nine steps of output power in Manual flash mode, ranging from 1/1 to 1/256 of a second.

The AD1200Pro recycles to full power in just two seconds and features a high-speed sync mode that works with shutter speeds up to 1/8000 second with action-stopping flash durations from 1/220 to 1/10,860 seconds. Another unique setting is its Stable Color Temperature mode, which tightly controls color to keep temperature changes within ±75K across the entire power range. Besides these impressive specs, in Stroboscopic Mode it's capable of 100 continuous pops at 1/16 power output. Finally, a 40W LED modeling lamp with three selectable modes draws negligible power and helps previsualize your captured image.

    Great light, can’t fault it on that but buying it and seeing it 500 dollars off a week later really blows… Oh well I guess. It’s a great light and never had problems with it on the 4 shoots I’ve taken it on so far. Have a lot more lined up for it.

    Worked great, until it didn't

    My $1600 flash worked great until it decided to die recently and now I have learned the folly of spending $1600 on a flash from Godox as I am finding it virtually impossible to find support for this issue. So far I haven't found a way to get it repaired

    See any errors on this page?

    Can this be controlled by the godox photo app?

    Can this be controlled by the godox photo app?
    Asked by: jai
    The AD1200 can be controlled via the GodoxPhoto or GodoxFlash App as long as you have a Godox Bluetooth trigger, either the X2T : B&H # GOX2TN or the XPro II : B&H # GOXPROIIN. Booth have a Bluetooth logo on it.

    Would you happen to know or ask Godox if they can start selling the flash heads separately? It would be ideal if have a head replacement for back up.
    Asked by: Roneil
    At this time, Godox has not shared any plans of offering the AD1200 Pro Flash Head on its own.

    I just got this unit and it does not fire above 250 using the GodOx Sony triggers. The wireless triggers fire with HSS on my AD600 Pro, AD200, and GodOx speed lights. Does anyone else have issues getting the AD1200 pro to fire with HSS on Sony?
    Asked by: James
    Just want to check the second answer, the one by staff. Does this one has HSS? Spec says yes: Flash Modes Hi-Speed Sync,...

    Is there an available power cord splitter to allow use of 2 heads (600WS@). Heavy and somewhat limiting if you can only use one head?

    Is this strictly battery powered? Can you run it off of ac power from a home outlet?
    Asked by: Julian
    This unit is initially battery powered, but you can purchase the Godox AC Adapter for AD1200Pro Battery Powered Flash System, BH # GOAC1200 to make it an AC powered flash unit. https://bhpho.to/3khVknd

    If i get a X1 R transmitter to trigger the AD1200 ...

    If i get a X1 R transmitter to trigger the AD1200 and mount my Canon ST-E3-RT Speedlite Transmitter on top of the X1 R will it work to trigger my 600 EX-RT’s speedlites?
    Asked by: Arthur
    Yes this will in fact work in the set up you described. With the Godox transmitter, it will also change the mode (TTL or Manual) on the Canon ST-E3-RT as well. So if you have the Godox set to TTL, it will change the Canon to TTL as well, but for it to sync the same setting to the Canon flash as well, you need to first set the Canon transmitter to the desired mode (TTL or Manual) sync it with the Canon transmitter while it is detached from the Godox transmitter, then mount the Canon transmitter back on top of the Godox and then they will sync up settings properly. A very interesting approach but it will work. A better option I would recommend would be to sell the Canon transmitter and Speedlight that you have, purchase the Godox Pro Transmitter and either a Godox V860II or Godox V1, so that then you have all equipment being controlled by one transmitter which is a better functioning one overall.
