Godox AD400Pro II 400Ws TTL Outdoor Flash Rental
Professional Portable Flash for Studio & Location Photography
The Godox AD400Pro II is a next-generation professional battery-powered strobe engineered for photographers who need the power and control of a studio flash in a compact, location-friendly package.
With 400Ws of flash power, the AD400Pro II delivers sufficient output for demanding portrait, fashion, advertising, wedding, automotive, sports, and outdoor photography. Its battery-powered design makes it particularly useful when working at locations where mains electricity is unavailable or where running power cables would slow down production.
The flash provides approximately 460 full-power flashes per battery charge and an extremely fast recycling range of approximately 0.01 to 1 second, allowing photographers to work efficiently during fast-paced productions.
400Ws Professional Flash Output
At full power, the AD400Pro II delivers 400Ws with a specified guide number of approximately GN72 at ISO 100 when used with an efficient reflector.
This provides substantial lighting power for:
- Fashion Photography
- Portrait Photography
- Outdoor Shoots
- Commercial Campaigns
- Wedding Photography
- Product Photography
- Automotive Photography
- Editorial Shoots
Its portable design provides an excellent balance between output and mobility.
Ultra-Fast Freeze Mode
One of the major upgrades of the AD400Pro II is its dedicated Freeze Mode.
Flash duration can reach as short as approximately 1/27,770 second (t0.1), allowing photographers to freeze extremely fast movement with exceptional sharpness.
This makes it particularly effective for capturing:
- Flying Water
- Splash Photography
- Moving Fabric
- Dancing
- Sports
- Hair Movement
- Powder & Liquid Effects
- Fast-Moving Products
- Automotive Action
For advertising and commercial photographers, this ultra-short flash duration provides additional creative possibilities for high-speed photography.
High-Speed Sync up to 1/8000 Second
The AD400Pro II supports High-Speed Sync (HSS) up to 1/8000 sec with compatible camera and Godox trigger combinations.
HSS is particularly useful for outdoor photography when you want to combine flash with:
- Bright Daylight
- Wide Apertures
- Shallow Depth of Field
- Fast Action
- Backlit Portraits
For example, a photographer can shoot a portrait outdoors at f/1.4 or f/2 while still using flash to control the subject’s exposure against a bright background.

It provides significantly greater output than compact speedlights while remaining more portable than many large studio systems.
2. Up to 460 Full-Power Flashes

This makes the system suitable for long:

5. 1/512 to Full-Power Control

9. 30W Bi-Color LED Modeling Lamp
A major feature is the built-in 30W bi-color LED modeling lamp.
It provides:
- 2800K–6000K CCT adjustment
- 10–100% brightness adjustment
- Approx. CRI 97
- Approx. TLCI 98
The modeling lamp helps photographers preview light direction, shadows, and modifier placement before firing the flash.
It can also serve as a temporary continuous source for certain video or behind-the-scenes applications.
10. Godox 2.4GHz Wireless X System
The integrated Godox 2.4GHz Wireless X System enables remote flash control with compatible Godox transmitters.
The system provides approximately:
- 100m transmission range
- 32 channels
- 16 controllable groups: 0–9 and A–F
- 01–99 wireless IDs
This makes it suitable for complex multi-light studio and location setups.
11. One-Tap Sync with Godox X3
When paired with the compatible Godox X3 trigger, the AD400Pro II supports one-tap wireless synchronization, reducing the need to manually configure group and channel settings during initial setup.
The flash is also compatible with Godox X-series transmitters such as:
This allows it to integrate easily into existing Godox flash packages.
12. 16 Color Group Indicators
The AD400Pro II includes 16 color-coded group indicator lights.
Each group can be visually identified by color, making it easier to recognize individual fixtures in complex multi-light setups.
This is especially useful for:

This makes the AD400Pro II highly adaptable for different photographic styles.
15. Optional H400P Extension Head
The optional H400P Extension Head connects to the AD400Pro II via a 2-metre extension cable.
This allows the heavier battery/control body to remain lower while the lightweight flash head is:
- Boom Mounted
- Handheld
- Positioned Overhead
- Hidden Behind Sets
- Mounted in Difficult Locations
The H400P is sold or rented separately.
16. Battery or Optional AC Operation
