Godox AD800Pro – new 800 Ws outdoor flash
Godox AD800Pro – new 800 Ws outdoor flash
Godox AD800Pro is a new all-in-one flash designed for outdoor work, in the studio and anywhere high power, mobility and precise light control are needed. The model offers 800 Ws power, battery power, TTL support, HSS up to 1/8000 s and a built-in Godox X 2.4 GHz radio system.
It is a proposal for portrait, commercial, fashion and product photographers who need a powerful main light also outside the studio. AD800Pro allows you to work in bright sunlight, create more advanced multi-flash setups and use a wide ecosystem of light modifiers with Bowens mount.
800 Ws of power for outdoor and studio work
The most important feature of Godox AD800Pro is its 800 Ws power. Thanks to it, the flash can serve as the main light source even during demanding outdoor sessions where the flash must be balanced with ambient light. This is especially important for portrait, fashion, wedding, advertising and commercial photos carried out outside the studio.
The power adjustment range covers 10 stops, from 1/512 to 1/1, with precision of 0.1 stop. Such precision makes it easier to set exposure in product work, in portrait photography and in more complex lighting setups, where every flash must be well matched to the scene.
Fast recycling time and efficient battery
Godox AD800Pro uses a 28.8 V / 2900 mAh lithium-ion battery. On one charge, the flash allows up to about 300 full-power flashes, which gives great freedom during sessions in the field. The flash recycling time is from 0.01 to 1.5 s, so the flash can keep up with the photographer’s dynamic work.
In practice, this means greater independence from power sockets and more convenient work on set. In addition, AD800Pro can work with the optional AC26 adapter, which allows the flash to be powered directly from the mains, and with the optional UC-46 fast charger, which shortens the battery charging time to about 1.5 hours.

TTL, HSS, Multi and modes for professional work
AD800Pro supports TTL, Manual and Multi modes, as well as HSS synchronization up to 1/8000 s. This is a major advantage when working with bright lenses, fast shutter speeds and daylight. The flash also offers modes useful for more demanding sessions, including Freeze and stable color temperature.
Thanks to this, Godox AD800Pro will work well both for classic portraits and for dynamic shots, product photography or sessions where flash repeatability and color control are important.
Godox X 2.4 GHz system and convenient triggering
The flash works in the Godox X 2.4 GHz radio system, offering a transmission range of up to about 100 m. AD800Pro supports 32 channels, ID 01-99/OFF and 16 groups marked from 0 to 9 and from A to F. This makes it easier to organize more advanced photo sets, especially when several flashes are working at the same time.
The model supports quick pairing with X3 and X3Pro triggers and is compatible with X-series transmitters. Wired triggering via the 3.5 mm sync socket and support for external 433 MHz receivers via USB-C are also available.
Bowens mount and a wide selection of modifiers
Godox AD800Pro has a native Bowens mount, so you can use many popular light modifiers, such as softboxes, beauty dishes, snoots, grids or reflectors. This is especially important for photographers who want to quickly adjust the character of light to a specific photo set.
For outdoor work, the optional H600P extension head with a 2 m cable may also be useful. This solution allows you to position the light source more conveniently on a boom, stand or in an assistant’s hand, while reducing the weight of the element placed high above the set.
LED modeling light and convenient operation
AD800Pro has been equipped with a color screen and a 40 W LED modeling light. The color temperature adjustment range of the modeling light is from 2800 K to 6000 K, which helps to assess the direction and character of the lighting more conveniently before taking a photo.
A practical addition is also the 16-color group indicator, which makes it easier to identify flashes in advanced configurations. This solution is useful especially when several light sources are working on set and the settings of a specific flash need to be recognized quickly.
Who is Godox AD800Pro for?
Godox AD800Pro is intended for photographers who need high flash power but do not want to give up mobility. It is a good choice for outdoor portrait sessions, fashion photos, wedding photography, commercial campaigns, advertising productions and product work.
The flash will be especially useful where smaller light sources have too little power, and classic studio solutions are less convenient outside the studio. The battery, HSS, TTL, Godox X system and Bowens mount create a set of features that responds well to the needs of professional work in various conditions.
What is included in the kit?
The Godox AD800Pro kit includes the flash, flash tube, reflector, reflector cover, battery, charger, power cable and original packaging. It is a complete set prepared to start working with a powerful, mobile light source.
