Profoto A2 vs Godox AD100Pro

  • Profoto A2 — A compact 100 Ws flash with high-speed sync (HSS), a wide power range, and AirX wireless support — excellent for on-camera or off-camera use.
  • Godox AD100Pro — A similarly lightweight 100 Ws strobe with HSS, TTL (with a compatible trigger), and a magnetic modifier system. It’s slightly lighter and substantially more affordable, making it a strong entry-level alternative.
