Power and Precision
With 800Ws of output, the AD800Pro has no trouble overpowering strong daylight, making it ideal for outdoor portraits and commercial work in full sun. Its 10-stop power range, adjustable in precise 1/10-stop steps, allows for very fine exposure control, which is especially useful in product photography, still life, and complex multi-light setups where consistency is critical.
Advanced Flash Modes
The AD800Pro includes a full set of professional flash modes. High-Speed Sync supports shutter speeds up to 1/8000 sec. Freeze Mode delivers ultra-short flash durations down to 1/35,710s t0.1 for stopping motion such as splashes, jumps, or fast dance movements. Colour Temperature Stabilisation keeps colour shifts to within approximately ±100K across the entire power range, making it well suited to colour-critical work like catalogues and stop-motion. Stroboscopic multi-flash, first-curtain, and second-curtain sync further expand creative possibilities.
Wireless Control and Connectivity
Built around the Godox 2.4 GHz X wireless system, the AD800Pro works with all Godox X-Series triggers and supports 16 colour-coded groups for quick identification in multi-light setups. One-tap NFC pairing with the X3 and X3Pro triggers makes setup fast and simple. It can also be used with the optional FT433 trigger system by connecting an FR433 receiver via the USB-C port, and it includes a 3.5 mm sync socket for wired triggering.
Modelling Light and Mount
A built-in 40W bi-colour LED modelling lamp, adjustable from 2800K to 6000K with high colour accuracy, can be used for previewing light, adding continuous fill, or supporting video work. The Bowens S-Type mount ensures compatibility with a huge range of softboxes, reflectors, beauty dishes, and specialist modifiers.
Power Options and Expansion
The supplied WB30 lithium battery provides around 300 full-power flashes per charge with recycling times from 0.01 to 1.5 seconds. For studio use, the flash can also be powered from mains using the optional AC26 adapter. The AD800Pro is compatible with the optional H600P extension head, which uses a 2 m cable and a lighter head unit, making it ideal for boom arms, large reflectors, or handheld use by an assistant.

TFC’s Verdict
The AD800Pro is a serious workhorse for photographers who need high output without giving up control or portability.

The combination of strong battery performance, reliable wireless control, stable colour, and a familiar Bowens mount makes it a flexible long-term investment. If you need one light that can comfortably move between studio and outdoor work while delivering consistent, professional results, the AD800Pro is a very compelling choice.
