The DP800 III V studio flash quite a whopper compared to the compact and light Godox MS200 V. I must have missed that somehow. *LOL* I was really surprised when I opened the box, sent from Germany. The length of the Godox DP800 appears to be almost twice the size - and its weight is substantially heavier.

I got it for 266 € + 22 € shipping - while saving around 170 € compared to what you have to pay in a Swedish store (often around 450 €). It is a much stronger flash compared to the Godox MS200 with 200Ws. The reason the German store sold this flash cheaper was "because the boxes are a bit damaged". In reality, it was a box with a corner that was ever so slightly dented - barely visible.

You can tell that it is a flash which is elevated, above the entry models MS 200V and MS 300V. I believe that Godox has taken away the MS 200/300 series, but I am not sure. Those compact small ones, are very affordable - often just 110-130 €.

I have tested the flash briefly - that it functions correctly - and it does !

As i adapted the projection snoot, the LED light was indeed much stronger. As strong as i wanted it to be, because when using these projection inserts, you need to place the flash further away from the background, in order to be larger. That in return steals light - for which the MS200 flash was too weak.

The DP800 is perfect in strength - so I am very happy.

Naturally, the built-in LED is 3x stronger with 30 Watt, compared to 10 Watt in the Godox MS200 flash. It could happen now might get warm after let's say 10 minutes. The manual states that after 10 minutes you should shut it down for 1 minute, in order to cool down. Well, it depends on what kind of snoot device you put onto the flash.

Will see, how it warm it gets in reality.
