Who wants a Ringlite head for the Godox AD200PRO?

Who wants a Ringlite head for the Godox AD200PRO?

I just made 3 of them, 2 for myself and one for Asher.

Everything works as if made by Godox.

It’s based on a Canon RingLight thus uses their macrolite adaptors that come in 52, 58, 67, & 72mm filter ring thread sizes.

A list of Canon lenses currently known to be usable with the Canon ringlite!

MACRO:

EF-S 35mm f/2.8L Macro IS STM

EF 50mm f/2.5 Compact Macro

EF 100mm f/2.8 Macro

EF 100mm f/2.8 Macro USM

EF 100mm f/2.8L Macro IS USM (Macrolite Adapter 67 is required)

EF 180mm f/3.5L Macro USM (Macrolite Adapter 72 is required)

EF-S 60mm f/2.8 Macro USM

MP-E 65mm f/2.8 1-5x Macro

NON-MACRO:

EF 28mm f/2.8 (when modified by replacing the front name ring with one from the EF 50mm f/2.5 Compact Macro)

EF 35mm f/2 (when modified by replacing the front name ring with one from the EF 50mm f/2.5 Compact Macro)

EF 35mm f/2 IS USM (Macrolite Adapter 67 is required)

Thanks Will for the extraordinary effort in researching components and building a robust portable and powerful ringlight without peer in power range, light weight and practicality!

I am using mine on my Fuji GFX with the Canon 50mm 2.5 Macro with an AF adapter!

Will also add it to my Fuji GFX 33-63 F4.0 with the 67mm Macrolite adapter from Adorama!

I control it with the Godox [Fuji] transmitter.

Will show pictures shortly!

ML-3/AD200 specs

The Guide Number is approximately 105ft./31m at ISO 100

1. Over-Temperature Protection● To avoid overheating and deteriorating the flash head, do not fire more than 40 continuous flashes in fast succession at 1/1 full power. After 40 continuous flashes, allow a rest time of at least 10 minutes.● If you fire more than 40 continuous flashes and then fire more flashes in short intervals, the inner over-temperature protection function may be activated and make the recycling time over 10 seconds. If this occurs, allow a rest time of about 10 minutes, and the flash unit will then return to normal.● When the over-temperature protection is started, is shown on the AV display.

I now have the ML3/200 RingLight head working with 3 different led focusing light brightness levels Controlled with the AD200PRO!

 

[Asher Kelman]

That’s an amazing advance. I like that you can alter the modeling light power. By what factors do you think it changes?

Asher

 

[Will Thompson]

There’s no modeling light, just a focusing light.

The focusing light can be set to low, medium, high, or off.

Just so folks understand, this is done indoors at night shooting at the ceiling which itself is illuminated more to the left.Flash is not used. This is only a test for any vignetting due to having to use the Canon adapter to be able to mount a Canon ringlight.


This clearly shows

• 
  The vintage Canon 28-105mm works perfectly with any APS-C Canon sensor.
• 
  The setup is fine for full frame at 50mm and beyond.
