Godox AK-R1 Kit

Sturdiness:This kit feels like professional gear. It could be more robust as anything could be but the case does not at all feel or look cheap on its own. There is an obvious difference. The barn doors feel appropriately sturdy for the product they are built for. The gel inserts are stiff and quality plastic. The snoot is a kind of rubber which surprised me since I thought it would be metal. The magnetic attraction is quite strong and some of the accessories are difficult to remove from each other.The bounce card literally feels like the same one from the profoto A1 kit.The honeycomb grid is also a robust plastic. The case is also well …sturdy and rigid.Functionality:I’m guessing the kit doesn't come with blue gels because most light is warmer than strobe but it would be useful for lighting effects.The accessories are definitely all useful for off camera flash but I was hoping the snoot was a little more narrow.Value for money:I think considering the cost this kit could be at the $50 I paid is a good cost for the added functionality this give to the speed lites I bought it for.If you believe these items would be useful to you then there is little reason not to buy these except for perhaps these all being small. The build quality feels as good as you can expect. As long as they don’t make this cheaper in a few years this kit should be a no brainer for low budget off camera flash work.I did feel like the diffusion dome could have been more white but godox does have other products and perhaps this is why it’s more frosted instead of white.

Not much to say other than this is a good accessory kit for my godox V1 flash. they white bounce card could be of a little higher quality, but rest of the kit has been great.

Love there magnetic design for these flashes. The pouch it comes in is useless and the zipper ripped out within a week of me having it the deflector card cover pops apart a little too easy for my liking but is very functional. Color disks can be stacked and do give a decent color change.

very well done

i have been using the magmod system with my godox ad200 for a long time, and i recently learned about the Godox AK-R1 accessory kit for the Round flash head Godox H200R. I purchased both. and opening the AK-R1 box i first notice the round dome diffuser. and i tried it on the Ad200. with the round head pre diffused glass and the combination of the dome diffuser, i saw that this offers more solid diffusion than the magmod magshpere! really soft light! and then with the honeycomb, i get the same soft light in a more directional spread. the kit is really useful. looking at the color filters, they provide 3 cto gels; full cto, 1/2 cto and 1/4 cto. and they provided two clear gels, so when making your own color gels, you can put it in between the the two clear gels to hold in place without falling off. you can use the bounce card with the dome diffuser to bounce that soft light in any designated direction and still keep that nice soft light. there is also a diffuser plate that gives a fresnel hard directional light when needed. I love this kit, it has too many possibilities. it also has a snoot, and a barn door wing reflector. and all these features are portable with its own carry case. i can only say the only downside is the case could have been bigger to comfortably hold all pieces in any arrangement but its definitely not a deal breaker. . i highly recommend this kit if anyone has a Godox AD200 pocket flash and the H200R round head flash! its a great add on. Now i have the same profoto A1 capabilities, without the high cost for a round head flash solutions!
