Z8/Z9 + Godox Ad200 Pro /AD 200 PRO II + HSS

If you would like to post, you'll need to register. Note that if you have a BCG store account, you'll need a new, separate account here (we keep the two sites separate for security purposes).

Is there a non-Godox flash trigger that can be used for HSS and wireless firing without banding? I came across a review two days ago (unfortunately, I can’t find the link anymore :mad:) where a photographer mentioned a different brand of trigger that worked seamlessly with the AD200 PRO II—no issues and no banding above 1/250 shutter speed. It could have been either a Profoto trigger or a Westcott trigger, but I can’t recall for sure.

I would prefer the Godox X Pro II trigger, but I’ve given up waiting for their firmware update to arrive. So far, the best workaround I’ve found is to use my SB-900 as the master to trigger the Godox as a slave unit. It works, but it’s an ugly setup with distance constraints. Thanks! (ps I love my AD200s and in no mood to switch brands - so please solutions only and no brand switching suggestions - Thanks!)

Thanks, it looks promising; however - as you stated already - it has a steep price tag. Interestingly, today I had no issues shooting at 1/640 with the Z8 + AD200 Pro II combo. Maybe I just found a shutter speed where the HSS worked without issues. Not sure. Unfortunately, I currently don't have time for more experimentation.
