Godox AD200 long term review - 3.5 years of use
I used two AD200 for 3.5 years, mainly for in-studio and on-location indoors for portraits and business headshots. I fired between 50,000 and 60,000 flashes with each, mostly using the bulb and power settings between 1/16 and 1/8+0.7. I try to stay below 1/4 most of the time due to my shooting style with business portraits, since the recycle time get much slower once you get to 1/4 and above. I am still shooting with the initial bulbs that came with it. I am also using the AK-R1 with the round heads a lot for backdrop lighting. Typical modifiers I am using with the AD200 are 80x80 cm softboxes, 120x60 cm softboxes, beauty dish, large octa boxes, large 180 cm umbrellas, etc.
