Godox SK400IIV Professional Studio Strobe Flash 400W 2.4G Wireless X System Bowens Mount LED Modeling Lamp 0.1-1.5s Recycle Time Monolight Strobe Light for Photography(SK400II Upgraded Version)

I'm a intermediate flash photographer and needed to step up my gear and learn how to use strobes more as I'm used to continuous studio lighting. I already have a Godox on camera flash and a XT2 Godox wireless trigger. So I learned it's best to stay in the family for communication and decided to get these models as they can wirelessly communicate with my XT2. Both arrived safely and packaged ok but thankfully the delivery driver handled them nicely. They both set up easily and mounted to my light stands with no issues and directly communicated with my XT2 instantly as long as I had the channels set. Only thing I haven't figured out yet is how to control the Strobes wirelessly for their settings. Otherwise its all good and everything triggers appropriatly. The flash power is impressive and not used to it. I'm glad I bought some Godox soft boxes for them. The softboxes were significantly harder to set up and deal with then using the strobe units. That's what is really nice. The fans in the Strobes are nice and quiet! They don't get too hot either. Overall was very very impressed. I opted for the halogen based unit for serviceable choice. I wanted the LED but if the bulb pops it's done for, I can at least service this. The LED version was a fixed unit and that worried me for a strobe. Cord quality and length was impressive! I don't need to immediately run and grab a extension cord. Very generous and appreciated. Protective covered for the bulb during transport and storage is massively appreciated. There's so many positives that I'm definitely keeping these units as I purchased 2 of them. I'm beyond happy with adding these to my home studio set up. All in all with 2 Godox halogen flash units, and 2 Godox softboxes came to about $400. Not too shabby! I reused my own light stands to save a little money. Definitely can recommend these units. Oh and they were used on my Canon EOS R with the Godox XT2 trigger.

The product was in excellent condition, new and perfect working.

I got happy when I unboxed it.. it is what I expected it to be. Love it. If they could just be a QR code that takes you to videos that would help you learn of how to connect it properly based on the type of camera. But So far.. this is my Christmas gift which is just perfect to me.

A great alternative to far more expensive Westcott lights. Godox lights are well built, accurate light temperatures.

These are for studio and locations where you can plug into AC power. Otherwise pony up for the WAY more expensive battery operated units. PROS: Powers up instantly, easy to figure out, Bowens mount modifiers plentiful & easy to get, modeling light, communicates fine with Godox wireless controllers. CONS: Light only goes down to 1/16, according to its display. But when I dial it down on my wireless controller, it seems to go lower (as it should), though the strobe continues to say 1/16. This sucks. Also modeling light is too weak, especially for an AC powered unit.

Using this on my Mirror Mirror Photo Booth, works great and very bright flash.

Once I got the correct flash remote, everything worked very well. Easy to change the settings on the lighting as well.

This is my second purchase of this item. I host photographer meetups and this allows us to use lights in two different areas at the same time.
