I have the Godox version but it is the same box.
I moved from Einstein to the AD600+AD200 and very happy.

Knowing you have used both the Profoto B1 and Broncolor Siros 800, I'm pretty sure you'd feel familiar with an AD600 TTL. Roughly same power, size and features.
Unless Godox have vastly improved on power and colour consistent with this pro version, you'd be better off with what you've already tried:

I didn't even realize that it is a new version. I was thinking about the existing.Viggo said:I wasn’t really asking if I should buy one, I’m not, but it’s always fun with new gear and just wondered what you guys think about it, would you consider it over a B1 or Bron or the previous ad600?
They seemed to have copied the bulb, with frosted front and transparent sides, and reflector from Broncolor. It looks great on paper with both better battery and power compared to a B1( x ), and a lot better color consistency. I’m sure Profoto will loose some sales, but I don’t think people buying Broncolor will worry about it.
The thing for me is ; how does it hold up over the next five years, ten years? A Bron Siros L isn’t cheap, but it could be cheaper if it lasts twice as long, which isn’t really all that unlikely.
And the thing I check first when buying a lamp is; which modifiers can I use. And Bowen’s makes a lot of them, but are they any good? To me they aren’t compared to Profoto and Bron.
And just as a small facepalm, WHY do they insist on making power adjustments in 1/3 stops instead of 1/10??
Anyway, this ad600 PRO will sell by the boatload I think...
I didn't realize that there is a new PRO version so I was referring to the old (current) version that I have.neurorx said:Besisika said:what do you wanna know?

What do you prefer about the Godox besides high speed sync? I'm debating between the two and appreciate your insight.
That is still my big unknown at this time. I would call Adorama if you are in the state.neurorx said:This is helpful. I would not be using strobes in studio. I shoot mostly on location shots. Thank you so much.
Is it easy to obtain and get replacement parts, bulbs etc.?

Talys said:I really don't ever take my AD600Pro anywhere, because it's a 10 pound strobe, and I don't need it for any of the modifiers that I take on location. I think that the AD200 is just way more useful in that regard, as there are realistically very few things that a doubled-up AD200 can't do just as well as the AD600Pro. In fact, for nearly all tasks, I can use a single AD200 that's 1/5 the weight and packs into about the same square volume as a speedlight, and do just fine =X
Recently bought a pair of the incredible and fast selling AD200 units, it's refreshing to have a nice simple compact setup with unexpectedly viable ETTL after the Witstro AD360's which are now for sale. They were so fiddly to set up. At the showroom I checked out the AD600 Pro. Wow I want into this system. I have six Einsteins which have been good, but now seem like they're from another era. I really hope PCB are developing something that can bring them up to date and be a meaningful alternative to the current ETTL, HSS internal battery offerings like the AD600. We're really spoiled for choice.Besisika said:what do you wanna know?
