Flash Godox AD600 Witstro – TTL 2.4GHz Strobe

Godox have announced the AD600 Witstro, an all in one 600WS Lithium-ion powered TTL and HSS enabled portable strobe, with both Canon and Nikon compatible 2.4GHz radio receiver units built inside.

Like the recently released AD360 II Witstro, the new AD600 can be controlled with full TTL, HSS, and remote manual power control via the recent 2.4GHz Godox X1 transmitter units, or master speedlite units like the TT685 (and V series Lithium-ion versions likely to come).

UPDATE – Godox have confirmed there is a Bowens mount version AD600B available (please see images at the bottom of this post). 

An AC power adapter is also in the works, and expected to be available around March 2016.

A soft case and shoulder strap then provide support for the strobe.

The remote heads will be available in both Godox and Bowens mounts, and in 600Ws and 1200Ws versions – AD-H600 / AD-H1200, and AD-H600B / AD-H1200.

To achieve the 1200Ws output two AD600 strobes will be attached to the one 1200Ws head via a 2 into 1 adapter cable.

The remote head is enabled via a cord which plugs into the strobe flash tube socket, acting as an extension cord between the strobe and remote flash tube.

The AD600’s removable 11.1V / 8700mAh Lithium-ion battery provides a health 500 full power flashes from one charge.

And the complete strobe in the cordless configuration weighs approximately 2.9kg.

AD600B BOWENS MOUNT VERSION

GODOX AD600 SPECS

There are manual version of the AD600 strobe available as well for around $200 less than the full TTL versions.

The Manual versions reportedly also include the same automatic HSS mode included in the TTL versions.

So there are 4 versions of the AD600 strobes available –

Godox Mount TTL – AD600
Godox Mount Manual – AD600M

Bowens Mount TTL – AD600B
Bowens Mount Manual – AD600BM

Please note – the Godox mount remote heads will not attach to the Bowens mount strobes, and vice versa.
