If you planning to use it for hobby, does not matter (i might go with Godox, I have good experience with TT685F and XproF, but I’m using it occasionally only), if you plan to use it for work get the one which has good local service support near you.

Good AD400 Pro and a good light stand. It's hard to overpower the sun. You need a powerhouse light source.

I've been using the ad200 for about 2 years. I've often said it was the best money I've ever spent on a piece of camera equipment. I've used it in all types of situations indoors and outdoors, up to 500 or 600 flashes in a day. I think it's hard to beat the price to performance ratio the Godox offers. I have never been able to, nor imagine I will ever be able to, afford something in the Profoto range, which I'd assume are 'better'. But the Godox has been an absolute beast for me, and I plan on getting a second one asap.

Good Luck with your decision

I'd have to say that this seems a bit... ummm... overexposed.

I just picked up the Godox AD200 Pro and happy with it. These were shot with my Sony camera but using only the AD200 in a 24"x24" softbox.
