I mainly shoot portraits and events. I want something powerful and versatile that will give me room to grow as I improve my lighting skills.
Which Godox flash is the best overall ?
Godox V1 or V1 Pro, depends on your budget.
The Godox AD200 Pro is an excellent choice for your needs. It's incredibly versatile - you can use it on or off-camera, and it comes with both a speedlight head and a bare bulb head. With 200Ws of power, it's strong enough for most portrait and event scenarios. As you improve your lighting skills, you can easily integrate it into more complex multi-light setups.
