If you own a Godox AD400Pro or AD400ProII outdoor flash and already have Broncolor softboxes, beauty dishes, or parabolic reflectors in your kit, the Godox Broncolor adapter for AD400Pro flash head is the small metal ring that saves you from buying a whole new lighting ecosystem.
Instead of leaving premium Broncolor modifiers unused, this optional mount adapter converts the AD400Pro’s native Godox bayonet into a secure Broncolor-style connection—so you keep Godox portability and battery power while shaping light with the tools you already trust.
Why Photographers Look for This Adapter
The AD400Pro series ships with a built-in Godox mount and an attached Bowens S-type adapter. Bowens gear is everywhere, but many commercial and fashion shooters prefer Broncolor’s deep reflectors and precision softboxes for their falloff and highlight rolloff. Rather than adapt downward, the Godox Broncolor adapter for AD400Pro flash head lets you adapt upward.
Key reasons to use it:
- Reuse existing Broncolor modifiers (softboxes, beauty dishes, PAR reflectors) on a 400Ws portable strobe.
- Keep AD400Pro advantages: 0.01–1s recycle, 460 full-power pops, 1/8000s HSS, 2.4G Godox X wireless, detachable battery.
- Tool-free or quick-screw swap in the field—no need to disassemble the flash head.
- Solid mounting: most OEM-spec rings use aluminum and a click-and-rotate or screw-lock system to avoid wobble.
Compatibility You Can Rely On
The adapter is purpose-built for the Godox Witstro AD400Pro (and AD400ProII recognizes the same Godox front mount with optional Broncolor ring).
- Direct fit: Godox AD400Pro / AD400ProII flash head.
- With AD-AB ring: Also works on AD300Pro when paired with the Godox AD-AB adapter ring (AD-AB not included with AD300Pro or the Broncolor adapter).
- Not compatible: AD600Pro / AD600BM series—different head geometry, do not force the ring.
- Modifier side: Standard Broncolor 90mm mount accessories, including Broncolor softboxes, beauty dishes, and Para-class reflectors depending on the speedring.
Note: The AD400ProII manual lists Broncolor, Profoto, and Elinchrom adapters as optional separate accessories—the box only includes the Godox mount and Bowens adapter.
How to Install the Godox Broncolor Adapter on AD400Pro
Based on the AD400ProII manual’s “Installing Bowens Mount Adapter or Other Mount Adapters” section:
- Make sure the flash is powered off.
- Push aside the mount fixing pusher on the flash body.
- If a reflector or Bowens ring is attached, rotate it counterclockwise and remove it.
- Align the Broncolor adapter’s fixing pusher with the slot on the Godox mount.
- Insert the adapter, then tighten the supplied locking screws (use the included wrench if required).
- Mount your Broncolor modifier clockwise until locked.
Because the Godox bayonet stays intact, you can later remove the Broncolor ring and snap the original reflector or Bowens adapter back on without any modification.
Practical Shooting Scenarios
- Location portrait sessions: Use a Broncolor Octa or beauty dish on the AD400ProII to get studio-grade wrap outdoors, powered by battery, triggered by an X3 or XProII.
- Editorial shoots: Mix Bowens and Broncolor modifiers across multiple AD400Pro units—each head can wear a different adapter, no brand lock-in.
- Rental houses: Keep one Broncolor adapter per AD400Pro so clients can bring their own Broncolor softboxes.
- AD300Pro users: Add an AD-AB ring first, then the Broncolor adapter, to share modifiers across your Godox strobe fleet.
Buying Checklist
When searching online, use the exact phrase “Godox Broncolor adapter for AD400Pro flash head” plus model suffixes to avoid Bowens-only listings:
- Confirm listing says Broncolor mount / Broncolor speedring adapter, not Bowens.
- Check whether screws and wrench are included.
- Verify weight (typically ~200g aluminum) and that it is not a 3D-printed clone if you need professional durability.
- AD300Pro owners must also buy the Godox AD-AB adapter separately.
Final Take
The Godox Broncolor adapter for AD400Pro flash head is a low-cost, high-leverage accessory. It respects the optical character of your Broncolor modifiers while letting the AD400Pro handle TTL, HSS, and wireless group control. For hybrid shooters who refuse to choose between Godox’s wireless portability and Broncolor’s light shaping, this ring is the bridge—small, metal, and quietly essential in the bag.
