Gear Talk: Pixapro Pika 200 (AD200)

January 09, 2021 in Gear

If you shoot with off camera flash you have probably heard of the Godox AD200 or in this case (from Pixapro) the Pika 200.

Also, you don’t have to look very hard on Instagram to find an image lit with one or a few of these little lights, but why are they so popular? Other than them being quite possibly the best small location lighting kit on the market today (IMO) they offer a lot for not a whole lot of money in the grand scheme of lighting gear.

You get 200ws of power which is about equivalent to 3 speedlites, TTL, HSS ( High Speed Sync) and all in a portable lighting kit that is at home in the studio and on location.

A Basic Portrait Kit - Off Camera Flash (OCF)

October 10, 2020 in Gear, Getting Started

At some point you come across off camera flash (OCF) and get introduced to a world full of cool looking images and behind the scenes images.

You see post after post of multiple light setups with big softboxes, stands and other equipment and then you go shopping.

Hold up. STOP.

Gear Review - Pixapro S-Type SMART Speedlite Adapter Bracket (V2)

April 05, 2020 in Gear

After a few years of using the version one of this Bowens S-Mount bracket for my speedlites and Pika 200’s I have come to rely on them for wedding, event and location work.

It is great for holding a speedlite and also allowing you to use Bowens fit modifiers such as softboxes with them also. They will also hold the Pika 200 so you have a bare bulb option for your larger modifiers, it is however a tight fit.
