Godox updated its smallest battery-powered strobe with the AD100Pro II. This new flash keeps the same 100Ws output and nine-stop power range from 1/256 to full, but the internal design has been revised to better handle sustained use. A new active cooling system with an internal fan allows the AD100Pro II to fire roughly 60 to 100 full-power flashes in sequence without thermal shutdown, depending on conditions. Recycle times are ranging from about 0.01 seconds at low power to roughly 1.5 seconds at full output.
Colour consistency is rated at 5600K with a ±200K tolerance, in line with most daylight-balanced strobes, making it easier to integrate into multi-light setups. The flash also includes a built-in 5W LED modeling light with ten brightness levels. While not meant as a primary continuous light, it is useful for checking light direction, shadow placement, and catchlights before firing the flash.
Wireless control is handled by an integrated receiver supporting both 2.4GHz and 433MHz, with 32 channels, ID settings from 01 to 99, and multiple groups for more complex setups. TTL, manual, multi, and high-speed sync up to 1/8000s are supported when paired with compatible Godox transmitters across most major camera systems. Usability has been improved with a clearer TFT display and a colour-coded group indicator ring. Power comes from a 3300mAh USB-C rechargeable battery rated for around 490 full-power flashes. Pricing is at $299.
