OK, I've been doing overtime on all this great information and help. So, I've just ordered! Godox AD200Pro plus AD-S7 softbox kit, X1T-Nikon transmitter. I like the fact it's battery - no leads to trips over and the price is good at c. £360 for the lot. I plan to experiment with it, and at...

Any idea how many low-power flashes the Godox AD200 can do from its capacitor (ie. high speed successive flashes)? Could this reasonably be expected to match the speed of a Nikon D850 on max fps until its buffer is full? The Godox AD400 has a bigger capacitor that is more likely to allow a...

Looks like there is a Godox AD200 and a Godox AD200 Pro? Wonder what the 'Pro' part adds?

I see the Lencarta 600J is no more but looks like it cost about £260 in 2012. Was this a rough equivalent to the newer Superfast Pro 400 Ws?

Ahhh! Just visited your site. An inspiration! Love the work with Gabby. Pirrhouette shot (face still, leg blurred with movement) a joy. And the last shot showing the ghosting trail of her movements. Flinging flour - lovely texture on the flour from fast flowing to the grains at the end...

Whoop! Just checked the AD400Pro. Looks a lot more serious. What is the main benefit of spending the extra £350 or so? Is it absolute flash power - 400Ws vs 200Ws in the AD200? Good that they take Bowens mounts!

It looks like the X2T has bluetooth, but I'm not sure I would use this. I think I just need the two-way 2.4 GHz wireless connection. Is there a non-bluetooth reason to go for the X2T over the X1T?

Thank you. This is really helpful! How do I know whether a strobe is IGBT? I think that studio flash units are not IGBT and typical on-camera flashes are?

Is the Godox X Pro F better than the X1T?

I'm liking the Godox AD200 with X1T transmitter for Nikon. Looks like: -it can recharge very fast -it's battery - fewer wires to trip over -it will coordinate with the camera (X1T) for Nikon iTTL -it's good value! I'd like to experiment with different light modifiers (light box, honeycombe...

Will a Godox AD200 work with iTTL from my D800E? What's the best transmitter and receiver set-up for it to work with Nikon iTTL? I think it might sound lazy or newbie to rely on iTTL, but it would be a reassuring safety-net whilst I learn to master manual flash.

Thanks BTW! The forum is the bees-knees!! Budget ideally £300-£500, but to be determined by value (performance to price ratio) with a max of £800 if a sweetspot of value is higher.

Wow! That's sounds incredibly fast! What trigger would I use on the camera? What are the drawbacks here? It sounds tremendous. Is it really this good in use?

Thanks Hoppy - I'll look up your kind suggestions. Meanwhile, there are generally about a 100 shots per shoot plus sometimes an occasional burst which fills the buffer on the D800E. With RAW bursts are at most 5fps and for perhaps 4 seconds or so. I am thinking of upgrading to a D850 or its...

I have finally got a tiny studio and can move on from using off-camera speedlights. I'd light to buy my first studio strobe. I don't need much power, but do need to freeze movement and recycle fast enough for a 5-6fps camera. My tiny space has white walls, plus my reflectors and I'll be...
