Godox’s New AD300Pro II Flash

Godox has unveiled the AD300Pro II, a refreshed version of its popular 300Ws outdoor flash arriving about five years after the original. On paper, the core specs haven’t changed much, it still outputs 300Ws, delivers around 350 flashes per charge, and recycles anywhere between 0.01 and 1.5 seconds depending on power level. Physically, the unit remains relatively compact at about 18.7 × 10 × 9 cm and weighs roughly 1.2 kg with the battery installed.

One big new addition is a one-tap wireless sync feature, which pairs instantly with the X3 and X3Pro triggers without manually sorting out channels or groups. The flash remains compatible with the rest of the Godox X ecosystem and also offers 3.5mm sync and USB-C for wired setups. Power control has been expanded from nine stops to ten, giving slightly finer exposure control. The AD300Pro II also pushes into faster-shutter territory for photographers using cameras with extreme electronic shutter speeds, especially global-shutter bodies like Sony’s a9 III. Its flash duration can now drop as low as 1/24,390s, a noticeable improvement over the previous model’s 1/10,200s. Despite the boost, Godox says colour stability stays within a 100K drift.

The modeling light sees an upgrade too. It is still a 12W LED, but now supports adjustable colour temperature between 2800K and 6000K, whereas the original lacked any CCT control. The main flash tube remains rated at 5800K ± 200K. Modifier compatibility is unchanged, with Godox’s native ecosystem supported by default and Bowens, Broncolor, Profoto, and Elinchrom options available via adapters like the S3 bracket or AD-AB. Full TTL support extends across major camera brands, including Canon, Nikon, Sony, Fujifilm, Leica, Panasonic, OM System, and Pentax. The AD300Pro II is priced at $499.
