How the kit works
Godox AD200Pro II 200Ws Portable Battery Flash
The AD200Pro II provides 200Ws of flash power in a compact battery-powered unit, making it particularly useful for a hair light where the flash may need to be positioned high, behind the subject or out of the normal shooting area. Battery operation also means there is no mains power cable running from the elevated flash head to a wall socket.
PiXAPRO 30x140cm Easy-Open Strip Softbox with Grid
A strip softbox is a particularly useful modifier when you want light to follow the outline of a subject rather than spread broadly across the entire scene. At 30x140cm, this modifier produces a long, narrow light source that can be positioned behind or above the subject for hair, rim and edge lighting. This can help define the subject's outline and provide separation from the background.
Godox S3 Bowens S-Type Flash Bracket
The Godox S3 bracket provides the connection between the AD200Pro II, Bowens-fit strip softbox and boom stand. Its Bowens S-Type fitting accepts the modifier, while the standard 5/8-inch stand mount connects to the supplied stand. A stepless tilting mechanism provides up to ±90° adjustment, giving you additional control over the direction of the modifier.
PiXAPRO 2-in-1 Reclined Boom Stand
The supplied stand can operate as either a conventional light stand or a boom stand, giving the kit considerably more positioning flexibility than a standard upright support. For hair lighting, the boom configuration allows the AD200Pro II and strip softbox to be positioned above or behind the subject while keeping the main stand column farther away from the shooting area.
Why choose this kit?
A dedicated hair or rim light can create a brighter edge around the hair, shoulders or side of the subject. This is particularly useful when you want clearer visual separation between the subject and background.
The AD200Pro II runs from its rechargeable battery, reducing the need for mains cabling around the elevated lighting position and giving you more freedom when choosing where to place the stand.
