Hi, I'm also interessed by this one. I have an ad200 pro that I use for my other gear (Lumix G9). But i have no idea how to trigger it with my NX1...

Hi  I use the Godox xt 16 to trigger my AD200.

Not recommended in bright sun light. Because...

There is no HSS available on any other system than the Samsung flash..

You can trigger HSS with optical flash.

But it only works in low light situations. Or indoors.

You can of course use an nd filter so you don't blow out your highlights, in bright sunlight.   Or put your AD200 closer to the subject, or use 2 AD200 as it requires more power from you'r  flash.

your max sync on the NX1 is 1/250  and the NX500 is 1/200.

If you try to use a faster sync speed. The flash will not be triggered..

I highly suggest the Heliopan Variable ND 0.3 - 1.8 https://www.adorama.com/hp72vnd.html?CategoryID=244555 and Hoya UV & IR cut combo https://hoyafilter.com/product/uv_ir_cut/

There's cheaper options out there, but this has been my go to for 5+ years on numerous systems.

Hope that helps!  Happy shooting!
