This surgery puts a Godox AD200 on an S-type bracket

It was a while since I was thinking how to perfectly center the Godox H200J bare bulb head in the S-Type Bracket. The AD200 and the S Bracket just cant be centered. Surfing the net, I came across this post by Ken Tam.

Ken thought of removing the screw to secure the headlights accessories. Perfect, but this does not make it more difficult to mount the reflector disc when we combine the AD200 with the S-Type Bracket.

The Surgical instruments

For this change, I used a 27mm diameter cylindrical saw and a fine file to remove the burrs from the cut.

The change occurred


 

The hole to house the knob was made on the right side of the S-Type Bracket due to the presence of the speedring reflector release mechanism on the left side.

Perfectly centered


Et voila! Here is our bare bulb head perfectly centered inside the S-Type Bracket with the knob housed in the modification hole.
