After reviewing the Godox Witstro AD600BM, we have found that it is a great strobe of the time. You may not find it a good brand, yet the features and qualities it possess make it a great product of the time. For professionals, it has proved to be an excellent addition for outdoor photography. Having such a powerful flash in a small package which perfectly fits to a normal photography kit makes it a perfect choice for photographers. 
Features Of Godox Witstro AD600 
Design & Build –
The AD600 is made of a mixed build. The overall build of this strobe falls between Profoto B1 and Einstein 640. It looks quite powerful than it appears and still it does not mean that you can easily toss it anywhere. It is made of solid and highly responsive jog dials and buttons. If we compare AD600 with Buff Einstein 640, you will find the build quality much better. 
Modifier Mounts Of AD600 –
Coming to the modifier mounts in AD600, we must say that it comprises of sturdy umbrella mount, though it is a bit off center. However, the wing-nut is well tightened to carry modifiers properly in place. It comes with Bowens mount that are really great. 
Weight & Size – 
This dynamic strobe model of Godox Witstro weighs around 2.66 kg and this weight is a little lighter as compared to the Einstein 640 and Profoto B1. Apparently, the device is a little fatter and shorter than B1, yet narrower and longer than 640. The overall size it possess around 70-200 f/2.8 lens and perfectly fits in the bags made to keep lenses. You can transport the device in your bag easily when you are out for shooting with your camera and unit with large kit. 
Some Minor Drawbacks – 
There are few minor issues that you will find in Godox Witstro AD600 over time which include mounting lug for light stand and cover for sync port. These elements seem to be created after the designing process of this device. 
Aesthetic Look & Design – 
As far as the strobes are concerned, the looks and aesthetic characteristics do not make much difference to the purchase choice for buyers if it works well. And in this case, the AD600 is perfect in its job. Though it is made of a pretty design which is highly functional. It is actually a straightforward and boxy design that the professionals love. 
Usability Features – The Interface – 
There are interface buttons on the strobe which are quite complicated. The total number of buttons are nine and you can easily reduce the jog dial with 1 button to the menu system. This process will make the system a bit easier and thus, you can eliminate the need to use the manual all the time. Moreover, the menu can also be operated via jog dial and this is too simple to be used. 
Remote – 
The AD600 comes with Godox X1 remote trigger which gives the users an easy access to all features including groups, high speed sync, power settings etc. The buttons of the remote look to be worn out easily and you may end up messing up with its jog dial all the time. Though you get full control on your strobes with this remote and it is very easy to operate. Apart from compromised build quality of the remote, it is a good remote to operate strobe remotely. 
Last thing I would like to mention here is that the remote buttons are required to be labelled properly and you would always require the manual to learn the secondary job of each buttons available on it. 
In Final Words – 
The good thing about Godox Witstro AD600 is its quality build design, appealing colour consistency, good output consistency, easy to use Godox trigger, all in one light package, great battery life, high speed sync and fast setup. Though there are some issues available that we cannot ignore which include HSS bug available in the remote, Bowen’s mount, a little flimsy mounting lug, remote lacks the feature to power up or down the strobe and convoluted button system.
