Godox SK400II-V Studio Flash Strobe Monolight

Product Description

The Godox SK400II-V Studio Flash Strobe Monolight is a powerful 400Ws AC-powered studio flash designed for portrait, fashion, product, e-commerce, commercial, and studio photography. It combines strong flash output with fast recycling, a 10W LED modeling lamp, Bowens accessory compatibility, and Godox’s integrated 2.4GHz X wireless system.

With a maximum output of 400Ws and a Guide Number of 65m at ISO 100, the SK400II-V provides plenty of power for professional studio setups. Flash output can be adjusted from 1/16 to full power (1/1) across 40 steps, allowing photographers to fine-tune exposure for different subjects, modifiers, and shooting distances.

The updated V version replaces the older halogen modeling lamp with a more efficient 10W LED modeling lamp. Its brightness can be adjusted from 5% to 100%, making it easier to preview shadows, highlights, and the overall lighting pattern before taking a photograph.

Built-in Godox 2.4GHz X wireless functionality enables remote triggering and adjustment when paired with compatible Godox transmitters. This makes the SK400II-V easy to integrate into multi-light studio setups without running synchronization cables between the camera and lights.

The front uses the widely adopted Bowens S-mount, providing compatibility with a large selection of softboxes, beauty dishes, reflectors, snoots, grids, and other light modifiers. This makes the SK400II-V particularly versatile when building or expanding a photography studio.

Ideal For

The Godox SK400II-V is particularly suitable for studio portraits, fashion photography, beauty photography, product photography, e-commerce product shoots, catalogue photography, corporate portraits, headshots, food photography, commercial photography, and photography studios.

Because this is an AC-powered manual studio strobe, it is primarily intended for controlled studio environments. It does not provide the battery-powered portability, TTL automation, or HSS functionality of Godox’s AD-series location flashes.
