Overview

The Godox AK-R16 is a six-piece magnetic filter set engineered for the round head of the V1 flash series and the H200R head used with the AD200 and AD200 Pro. It includes two translucent diffusion panels and four color gel filters, each attaching directly to the round head via a neodymium magnetic ring — no velcro, no tape, no adapter collar. The diffusion panels scatter the V1's already-soft round-head output further, creating a broader, more even coverage that's particularly flattering for close-range portrait work. The color gels shift the light's color rendition, giving photographers a direct tool for creative color play or ambient light matching without reaching for a separate gel kit.

In practice, the AK-R16 is most valuable to photographers who already own the V1 and want to extend its versatility without adding hardware weight. Event and portrait shooters will find the fast magnetic swap especially useful — changing from neutral to a warm gel between scenes takes seconds. The trade-off is output: every filter layer costs light, and color gels in particular require a conscious power adjustment. This set is not a replacement for a comprehensive gel kit in a fully equipped studio, but as a portable creative add-on for location work or run-and-gun shoots, it fits cleanly into any V1 workflow.

Pros & Cons

👍 Pros

  • Magnetic attachment snaps on and off in under two seconds, making filter swaps mid-shoot genuinely fast.
  • Six-filter set covers both diffusion and color-shifting needs without additional purchases.
  • Designed specifically for the V1 and H200R round head geometry — no awkward gels taped over modifiers.
  • Compact and lightweight, adding negligible weight to a V1 kit bag.
  • Color gels open up creative background separation and color correction options directly at the light source.

👎 Cons

  • Magnetic hold is not locking — filters can detach from physical impact or rough bag handling mid-session.
  • Color filters reduce flash output by one to two stops, requiring power compensation adjustments.
  • Only six filters included; the set does not cover a full CTO/CTB correction range for precise color temperature matching.
  • Incompatible with standard rectangular speedlight heads — useless outside the V1/H200R ecosystem.

Frequently Asked Questions

The AK-R16 mounts magnetically to the Godox V1 series (V1-C, V1-N, V1-S, V1-F, V1-O) and the H200R round flash head, which attaches to the AD200 and AD200 Pro. It will not fit standard rectangular head speedlights — the magnetic mount is designed specifically for round-head geometry.
The magnet is strong enough to stay secure during handheld and studio shooting, but it is not locking. In situations with significant physical contact — pulling a flash out of a bag quickly or bumping light stands — filters can detach. It's worth checking seating before each shot when working fast.
The translucent filters act as diffusion panels, softening and spreading the V1's output for even, wrapped light. The four color filters shift the light's hue for creative or correction purposes — useful for matching ambient color temperature or adding a deliberate cast to backgrounds or subjects.
Yes. All gel and diffusion filters absorb some light. Color filters in particular can cut output by one to two stops depending on the density of the gel. Factor this into your exposure and flash power settings when using the AK-R16 filters in a shot.
The magnetic system is designed for single-layer attachment directly to the round flash head. Stacking with other magnetic modifiers (snoot, honeycomb grid) may work physically but is not an officially supported configuration.
