Godox AD300Pro II & AD300Pro Accessories: Build Your Portable Lighting System
The Godox AD300Pro II hits a sweet spot for photographers who want substantially more capability than a speedlight without carrying a large, heavy monolight. With 300Ws of flash power in a compact 2.2-pound body, it's an excellent choice for portraits, senior photography, weddings, location work and smaller commercial assignments.
The AD300Pro II delivers fast 0.01–1.5 second recycling, approximately 350 full-power flashes per charge, TTL, High-Speed Sync up to 1/8000 second, and precise power adjustment from 1/512 to full power.
At MoLight, we consider the AD300Pro II one of the best choices for a photographer buying a first serious off-camera flash because it combines professional features with a size that's still easy to carry and use on location.
Build the AD300Pro II Around the Way You Shoot
One of the strengths of the AD300Pro II is the number of ways you can configure it.
Its native Godox modifier mount keeps your lighting setup compact and lightweight, with options such as the Godox AD-S60S 24-inch and AD-S85S 34-inch parabolic softboxes. Add an S3 Bowens Adapter when you want access to the huge selection of Bowens-mount softboxes and other modifiers.
For an especially portable location setup, we like pairing the AD300Pro II with the SMDV FLIP32G Speedbox. That's the combination used in our AD300Pro II Run n Gun Kit—a 300Ws flash, X3 transmitter and fast-opening FLIP32G in a compact package designed for photographers who need to move quickly.
You can expand the system further with spare WB300P batteries, chargers, reflectors, barndoors, diffusion domes, grips, cases and replacement parts.
In other words, the AD300Pro II isn't simply a flash. It's the center of a very flexible portable Godox lighting system.
Who Is the Godox AD300Pro II Best For?
The AD300Pro II is particularly well suited to portrait and senior photographers who work both indoors and outdoors, wedding photographers who want more output than a speedlight without carrying a large strobe, and photographers moving into professional off-camera flash for the first time.
Its 300Ws output also makes it an excellent middle ground in the Godox lineup: more power than the ultra-compact AD100Pro II and AD200Pro II class, while remaining considerably smaller than the higher-powered AD400, AD600 and AD800 series.
That balance of power, portability and professional features is what makes the AD300Pro II such an appealing all-around flash.

Godox AD300Pro II FAQ
How powerful is the Godox AD300Pro II?
The AD300Pro II produces 300 watt-seconds (Ws) of flash power with a 10-stop adjustment range from 1/512 to full power in 0.1-stop increments. That provides substantial output while also giving photographers very precise control at lower power settings.
How much does the AD300Pro II weigh?
The AD300Pro II weighs approximately 2.2 pounds (1.2 kg) with its battery, making it particularly attractive for location photographers who want professional flash power without carrying a larger 400Ws or 600Ws strobe.
How fast does the AD300Pro II recycle?
Godox specifies a recycle range of approximately 0.01 to 1.5 seconds, depending on the selected flash power.
How many flashes can I get from an AD300Pro II battery?
Godox rates the AD300Pro II at approximately 350 full-power flashes per charge. Actual battery life will vary depending on flash power, modeling-light use, temperature, battery condition and shooting habits.
Does the AD300Pro II have a modeling light?
Yes. The AD300Pro II has a 12W bi-color LED modeling light adjustable from approximately 2800K to 6000K, with brightness adjustable from 10% to 100%.
This gives photographers a useful continuous light for evaluating light direction, shadows and modifier placement before taking the photograph.
Can I use Bowens-mount softboxes with the AD300Pro II?
Yes. The AD300Pro II uses the compact Godox modifier mount natively, but an adapter such as the Godox S3 Bowens Adapter allows you to use Bowens-mount softboxes and other compatible modifiers.
This gives you the choice of keeping your location setup small with native Godox-mount modifiers or adapting the AD300Pro II to the enormous Bowens-mount modifier ecosystem.
Is the AD300Pro II a good first professional flash?
We think it's one of the best choices in the Godox lineup for photographers moving beyond speedlights.
You get 300Ws of power, TTL, High-Speed Sync, fast recycling, a rechargeable battery, a bi-color modeling light and full integration with the Godox X wireless system in a flash that's still compact enough to take almost anywhere.
It's powerful enough to grow with you without immediately committing you to the size and weight of a larger 400Ws, 600Ws or 800Ws strobe.
AD300Pro or AD300Pro II—which should I choose?
The AD300Pro II adds several improvements over the original AD300Pro, including a broader 1/512–1/1 power range with 0.1-stop adjustment, Freeze Mode, expanded group control, updated Godox X-system features, a bi-color modeling lamp and an updated color display.
If you already own an AD300Pro, read our AD300Pro II vs. AD300Pro Comparison for a more detailed look at whether the new features justify upgrading for the way you shoot.
What accessories should I buy first for the AD300Pro II?
For most photographers, we'd start with a compatible Godox X-system transmitter and a good light modifier. From there, the accessories you need depend on how you work.
Location photographers may want an additional battery, compact softbox and carrying case. Photographers who already own Bowens-mount modifiers should consider the S3 Bowens Adapter. High-volume shooters may benefit from a spare battery and charger.
The goal isn't to buy every accessory available. It's to build an AD300Pro II system around the photography you actually do.
Are original AD300Pro accessories compatible with the AD300Pro II?
Many accessories used with the original AD300Pro can also be used with the AD300Pro II, including compatible batteries and many light modifiers and mounting accessories. However, compatibility can vary by accessory.
If you're upgrading from an AD300Pro and aren't sure whether a particular accessory will work with the AD300Pro II, contact MoLight before replacing equipment you may already be able to use.
