Godox AD200 on-camera-like setups?

[LongLensPhotography]

Following my failed affair with V1, I would finally like to finally get a meaningful upgrade over Canon 600 flash. I've got a bunch of AD200 and they are amazing and work really well off camera, on stands. I'm happy to hold one, but only when camera is on tripod. so for those 5-10% of the time when I'm working in event mode I want a convenient solution

It can be either A: AD200 mounted on some camera bracket, hopefully not too crazy and not one that interferes with tripod plates or anything important
or B: anywhere on my own back (-pack or whatever else) again in a sensible and convenient way.

It has to be able to do things that canon flash does, i.e. be adjustable to bounce of ceilings and walls, and / or support some basic modifier like the small godox mount softbox, etc.

Maybe the final looks like Metz old school units, maybe even more insane. As long as it works, easily and delivers 3x power over than Canon on any camera brand I'm super happy.

Why not use the remote head kit?

That is half the solution. It still needs to be mounted somewhere. No handholding, no ancient X1T trigger. Xpro all the way.

It's the full solution, designed exactly for what you want to do. But yes, the compromise is that you'll have to use a different trigger. But I'd suggest the XT-2.

I can put an AD200 and cable in the sales section if you want to get started cheaply but you'll have to source your own X2T-C.

I have a AD200 already. Just wondering if @LongLensPhotography isn't interested in these, what the price is please?

 

[LongLensPhotography]

I certainly don't need ANOTHER 200. Got plenty already. Thanks.

Probably best not discussed in this topic. I'll email you details but the actual sale must be in the Marketplace as per the rules.

How crazy do you want to get?

I have a double beam articulated arm which is attached to a monopod with a superclamp. At the other end of it is the remote head in a folding BD. The AD200 is carried in a small shoulder bag triggered by an X32T. And the camera is attached to a small cheap ball head on top of the monopod (in portrait w/ L-bracket; I find it easier/better to flop the ball head to 90˚ for landscape).

On my really big lens I have a coldshoe on the lens hood to attach the remote head. And for shorter lenses it goes on my X1T in the camera hotshoe.
