Godox SK400II-V(LED) studio flash

A studio flash with improved modeling light over its predecessor. Instead of a halogen bulb, continuous LED lighting has been used, which is less power hungry and does not generate unnecessary heat. The SK400 flash boasts a flash energy of 400 Ws, a Bowens mount and a built-in Godox X System 2.4GHz receiver.

SK400II-V

The SK400II-V studio flash is a simple but effective unit in which we can adjust the power between 1/16 to 1/1. In addition, the SK400 guarantees a short charging time between flashes, an LED modeling light, the brightness of which can be set to proportional to mimic the effects of the flash power setting to pre-visualize the photo, or it can be adjusted manually or simply turned off. A built-in System X receiver rounds out the flash's tremendous functionality.

Functionality

The Godox SK series features a flash energy adjustment range of 4 aperture stops (1/1 - 1/16, accurate to 0.1 EV). Charging time to full flash energy less than 2 seconds. At minimum power, it achieves a very short flash duration of only 1/2000s (t=0.1), allowing casual shooting during a session. The color temperature of the flash is 5600K and can vary between ±200K depending on the flash energy setting.

Control

The built-in X System receiver allows you to remotely trigger the flash, control the energy and change the mode. In addition, the Godox SK series is equipped with a USB connector that allows you to connect XT16, FT-16 or X1 System receivers. It is also possible to use a 3.5mm jack socket and connect the flash to other brands of triggers.

Operation

The rear panel of the flash is simple, clear and functional. The LCD screen showing the lamp settings is easy to read even from a large angle. Next to it is located a handy knob for adjusting flash power, changing the radio communication channel and lamp group. Located below the LCD screen, a series of five buttons gives quick access to all lamp settings and functions. The LED modeling light can operate independently of the flash power (brightness can be set manually), or be coupled to the flash energy (proportional). In addition, it can be automatically turned off for the duration of the flash or illuminate continuously.

Mount

A wide range of light modifiers can be used with the lamp, such as reflectors, softboxes, snoots, beauty-dishes, and others are equipped with Bowens-type accessory mounts.
