The Godox AD1200Pro Battery Pack Kit is a relatively compact, battery-powered flash unit that wants to help photographers overpower the sun without breaking the bank. The system is made up of a 1200W flash head and a rechargeable (and interchangeable) 5.2Ah 36V Lithium energy pack that can be fully charged in two hours and delivers between 480 and 500 full-power flashes per charge. There is,of course,an AC adapter as well, in case you want to opt for mains power.

The Godox AD1200Pro recycles to full power in just two seconds and features a high-speed sync mode that works with shutter speeds up to 1/8000 second with action-stopping flash durations from 1/220 to 1/10,860 seconds. Another unique setting is its stable color temperature mode, which tightly controls color to keep temperature changes within ±75K across the entire power range. Besides these impressive specs, in stroboscopic mode it's capable of 100 continuous pops at 1/16 power output. Finally, a 40W LED modeling lamp with three selectable modes draws negligible.

Featuring wireless control via the 2.4 GHz wireless X system with a range of up to 328' and 1200Ws of power, the AD1200Pro Battery Pack Kit  is an impressive lighting tool compatible with several TTL systems including Canon, Nikon, Sony, Fujifilm, Olympus, and Panasonic. It offers up to nine steps of output power, ranging from 1/1 to 1/256, and comes with a powerful 36V/5200mAh lithium-ion battery pack that provides up to 500 full-power flashes that make it suitable in outdoor or location shooting. Alternatively, you can run the monolight on AC power with an optional adapter.
