Product Information
Full details
The Godox AD-S17 Wide Angle Diffuser is an ideal lighting modifier for event, portrait, and interior photographers looking to achieve soft, omnidirectional light output from their Godox AD-series flashes. By expanding the flash coverage to a 180-degree beam angle, it effectively minimizes harsh shadows and produces a clean, wrap-around light quality; however, users should note that the increased dispersion will significantly reduce the effective flash power compared to direct firing.

FAQs
Is the AD-S17 compatible with the AD400 Pro or AD600 Pro?
No, the AD-S17 is designed specifically for the AD180, AD200, and AD360 series of flashes and will not fit larger flash heads.
Does this diffuse enough to eliminate all shadows?
While it significantly softens shadows compared to a raw flash head, it is not a substitute for a large softbox; some soft directional shadows will remain.
Can I use this outdoors?
Yes, but because it spreads light in 180 degrees, it is most effective outdoors only when used very close to the subject or to light an immediate foreground.
What should I do if the plastic gets dusty?
Use a dry microfiber cloth to gently wipe the dome. Avoid using liquid cleaners as they may affect the light transmission properties.
Will this fit a standard speedlight (non-Godox AD series)?
No, this diffuser is custom-fitted for the bare-bulb design of the Godox AD series and is not compatible with standard shoe-mount flash heads.
Troubleshooting
Diffuser feels loose on the flash head
Ensure the mounting tabs are fully seated in the flash head grooves; clean any debris from the interface if it does not click into place.
Light is too dim
Increase your flash power setting or move the light source closer to your subject, as the diffusion process inherently spreads energy over a wider area.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install the AD-S17, align the mounting base with your Godox flash head and snap it into place using the built-in friction mechanism. This diffuser is specifically engineered for the Godox AD180, AD200, and AD360 series flashes.
To ensure the longevity of the product:
- Avoid subjecting the diffuser to high-heat sources for extended periods.
- Clean the exterior surface with a soft, dry microfiber cloth to remove dust and fingerprints.
- Store in a padded equipment bag to prevent the plastic dome from cracking under heavy pressure.
