Godox AD200 or AD360 for a beginner (?)

[macvisual]

Hi all;

I'm hoping to get into the world of flash at some stage for my Fuji XT2/XT1 system at some stage in the near future, I have no experience of flash to be honest. I've heard great things about the Godox AD200, but is it best to push the boat out for the Godox AD360 instead I wonder....? I'll probably start off shooting the likes of dog photography.

Any advice/experience appreciated. Thank you.

Neither is really a beginner's flash, and dog photography isn't really specific enough to recommend either way. TBH I think you'd be better off starting with a decent speedlite, eg Godox/Pixapro, if only because everyone needs a decent speedlite regardless. It'll certainly get you going then build from there, when you know exactly what's needed.

Ad360 or AD360II - IMHO do not get the original, get the mark II

aD360II or AD200 - quite different beasts, so the question is indoors or outdoors photography?

Like Hoppy I would say start small, Godox are releasing versions of the V860 and 685 dedicated for Fuji and they would be a great way of entering the Godox X controlled system
