When the Godox AD400 Pro launched, it quickly became one of the most popular portable strobes on the market. It delivered reliable 400Ws power, TTL and HSS support, and a compact design that could handle both studio and location work.

Now Godox has raised the bar with the release of the Godox AD400 Pro II. This review and comparison breaks down what’s new, what’s better, and why the AD400 Pro II is one of the best Godox flashes for portraits, action, and video work.

What’s New in the Godox AD400 Pro II?

• Expanded 10-Stop Power Range
  AD400 Pro: down to 1/256.
  AD400 Pro II: down to 1/512 for more control when shooting wide open with fast glass.

• Freeze Mode up to 1/27,770s (over 2× faster)
  AD400 Pro tops out at 1/12,820s.
  AD400 Pro II more than doubles that speed at 1/27,770s.

  Example: Photograph a dancer mid-leap. On the original AD400 Pro, fabric and hair could still blur. With the AD400 Pro II’s Freeze Mode, those details are tack sharp with over twice the stopping power.

• 30W Bi-Colour LED Modelling Lamp
  Brighter and adjustable CCT for video and previews (upgrade from the original fixed daylight lamp).

• Upgraded Display with RGB Group Colours
  A bright 2.4" screen adds colour-coded groups for easier multi-light management.

• Quick-Connect with the X3 Trigger
  Using the Godox X3 Trigger, channels and groups are set faster and more intuitively.

• Battery Efficiency
  Up to 460 full-power flashes per charge, with optimized recycling performance.
