Improved Flash Duration

With the addition of Colour-Stable Mode across power levels, Stroboscopic Multi-Flash mode and the new Freeze Mode, the AD300Pro II enables super-fast flash durations down to 1/24,390s to freeze even the fastest motion. Able to handle action and dance shots, this improved duration means you won't miss a shot, without losing out on your recycle times!

Battery Comparison

With an improved battery capacity, increasing the amount of full powered flashes per full charge from 320, up to 350, you can shoot with confidence, knowing your battery will last you more than long enough to get the shots you need. 

Trigger Options

With the accessible built-in 2.4 GHz X-system receiver (now with one-touch X3 sync) the AD300Pro II also has the 3.5 mm sync port and new USB-C compatibility, providing the option for 433 MHz triggering with the FT433 trigger and receiver set, making it perfect for sports event shooting, or at photography workshops to reduce interference between transmitters. 

Plus, with Universal TTL/Multi-mode support for a range of camera brands (Canon, Nikon, Fuji, Olympus, Sony, Leica, Pentax), the AD300Pro II can function as a 'slave unit' in a wireless multi-light setup.

Group Colour Coding

In line with the previous AD Range upgrades, the AD300Pro also includes the addition of colour coded group indicators for quick and easy identification from afar! 

Control Options

Now also with a wider power control range, the AD300Pro II offers 10-stop control, now able to be adjusted down to as low as 1/512th power in in 0.1-stop increments, compared to the AD300Pro's 1/256th lowest power option. 

Full-Colour Display

Boasting a new vibrant and high quality TFT colour screen with enhanced brightness and contrast the AD300Pro II screen is improved over the MKI's backlit LCD screen, ensuring optimal visibility, even in challenging lighting scenarios.

Summary

With improved battery capacity, power range, and a snazzy new full-colour screen, the AD300Pro II is a much needed upgrade to the original flash, at the same RRP!
