High-speed sync up to 1/8000 s and an ultra-short Freeze mode duration of 1/27 770 s capture even the fastest action with precision. 16 color group indicator lights simplify multi-light coordination, and full TTL support for Canon E-TTL II, Nikon i-TTL, Sony, Olympus/Panasonic, Fujifilm, Pentax, and Leica ensures broad compatibility.

400 Ws & 1/8000 s HSS

With 400 Ws of output and up to 460 full-power flashes per charge, the AD400ProII delivers sustained, studio-grade performance on location. High-speed sync up to 1/8000 s lets you freeze action and balance flash in bright conditions.

Group Indicator Lights

16 distinct lights assign each group a unique color, so you can identify and adjust any unit at a glance—even in low light or from a distance. Just select the group’s color on screen and tweak power or sync settings instantly, keeping your shoot running smoothly.

Intuitive Color Display & Controls

Adjust settings instantly using the bright, full-color TFT display, where all key functions are laid out clearly and intuitively. A single press-and-hold of the modeling-lamp button toggles the lamp on or off, putting control at your fingertips and speeding up your workflow.
