The Angler 20" ( the original Profoto Clic Softbox Octa )

- Trying the smaller 20" Angler FastBox - A little surprised how much fun it was to use handheld. And yes.... the Profoto Clic Softbox Octa is probably a better built copy of this design, at more then 1/3 the price I will suffer through it.
These images are gorgeous. Great work.
Thank you. She had a little to do with it 😂😂
You're videos are single-handedly going to drive me to buy a V1 just to use with one of these boxes. I can see a TTL cabled V1 in the 20" box pairing nicely with my X100F and TCL as a handheld 'walk around' portrait setup.
Utterly fantastic pictures. Having found your channel recently, you have been inspiring me get off my backside and start using my two speedlights regularly - just need a couple stands and some modifiers. What I need to look into is what's compatible with what, ie. what attachments/brackets will hold my lights. Unless things are mostly standardized, I really don't know...
great pics, the edit is even more amazing
I'm impressed. Looks very good for small lights.
such a great video! great savings for me! i love how you added the photos you've taken to the video also, makes a huge difference!
keep up the great work, new sub here
Beautiful model. I dug those stairwell/hallway pics.
They came out nice. If she was a brunette I would have been screwed.
Hadn't thought of that. Not enough light, or would have also required a hair light behind her?
I already have the 32in smdv but decided to also buy the 20in after watching some Japanese videos. I could only visualize the videos since I don’t understand Japanese. They were hand holding it in a run and shoot. It is a great idea for those times they don’t let you use stands in certain places.
It is nice for handhold light
Should be Korean , I think smdv is Korean
Thank you. I'm impressed of anger. Please compare 24' fastbox too
The V1 Godox speedlight fits the Profoto version too, so you do not need to buy the Profoto A1 :-)
I like your style
Great video
Nice work. I just used the same system on an outdoor shoot and it worked great. Unfortunately, I can't show the shots on RUclips.
It’s such a great run and gun (fun) setup.
Where can a person see them if not on RUclips?
@@drr5117 The shots are nudes so I can't display them and I don't show nudes on my website, sorry.
I'm really interested in the new 28", the 20" makes you shoot really tight close ups
It is a little limiting but you can easily do 3/4 with it.
Shots look beautiful, just curious, are they straight out of camera, or have they been edited? Skin looks flawless.
Her skin is close to flawless. I did some minor work in Lightroom
@@kaskoPhoto Thanks, she has beautiful skin!!
fruitful video
Works really well. Can I ask is that just a standard light stand with 1/4" thread? I want the AD200 Pro with round head and extension to use with the Angler.
Yes it is
Thanks very much for this. Actually I already have the Profoto A1X (round head) speedlight. I was thinking of buying the Profoto Clic Softbox Octa (for travel) until I saw your (this) video. So will the 20 inch Angler fit on my Profoto A1X?
Fantastic use of your gear and a great demo handholding the light and the photos came out beautifully and was that your new canon lens the 50mm? F1.2
No, that was the non L 85 f2
@@kaskoPhoto great photos with even the non L series lens👌
@@Snapit551 well I am more then happy with these lenses and I do understand the benefits of L in certain cases, they are simply not needed in all cases.
Is it possible to une this cheaper octobox with a Profoto coloured gel inside ?
Thank you for your answer. 👍
Yes it is.
John (@kaskoPhoto), no way; don’t even try it! Not buying the 20” after just buying two 24” boxes at $159! 😀 Very cool though how you can easily hold it while you shoot!
I think the 24” will work for you just fine! 😂
@@kaskoPhoto - 2nd one arrived yesterday and, as you said, they are incredibly cool! Have a shoot on Monday (we now live in a continuous care retirement community and I’m offering portrait shoots every month for residents for free) and can’t. Way to try them. Now I need to sell the @$” Godox soft boxes I just bought in September!
Do you have a recommendation for a similar softbox that you can recommend? It looks like the Angler Fastbox is not available in Germany.
very nice
Great and clear review! How does the 20” compare to the 24” in terms of light quality from the same distance? Did you feel any noticeable difference?
Not at all. I do use the grid a lot in studio so that is included with the 24” But I really love the size of the 20” for walking around hand held.
@@kaskoPhoto what about a sport photog that needs on cam flash say pregame to run n gun and grip n grin quick few seconds with each person couple etc ? Then back to boxing shooting ....
What I would like to know is how the angler differs from the profoto in terms of light quality (is there colour shifts, colour temp problems & how does falloff look?). People spending more on profoto often do so to avoid the colour problems visible in some of goods & other products. I saw your video on the profoto soft box for the A2. Did you notice any differences? Not sure if you looked at the colour meter or if you use one but I assume you do because you’re big into lights. Anyway, I like Angler but only if the light is consistent & this is why I don’t use godox (had them). Can you speak to the light quality on the Angler vs profoto?
I didn’t find any color issues with them at all. I do notice color shifts using Godox lights but “most” modifiers I use are pretty constant in the color areas.
Can we get the same result with 24’’ or 28’’ Angler softbox?
Absolutely. Not much of a difference there at all
Hello my friend! Do you use TTL when holding 20" softbox with your hands? Your answer would really help me a lot, thanks in advance!
I do not. But I think (with the right light) it would work. Depends on the TTL compatibility with the camera brand
@@kaskoPhoto Thanks!
Which is recommended light stand , is there any carbon fibre one ?
The SMDV Flip is the original.
I was wondering that. I have a few SMDV and love their quality.
I have to look theirs up
Do you think these would hold with the ad200 and round head adapter?
Wow that is an interesting question. So off the top of my head I would say they would be perfect for the extension head setup. (Love that accessory) But the length and weight would probably make it less stable(?)
@@kaskoPhoto precisely what I've been wondering. I have the ad100 and just recently got the ad200 as well, so I have been considering these softboxes for ease in portability.
@@israelgamas9542 well you will love them for the AD100 and like I said, using the extension head accessory would be perfect. The reason I like that so much is two-fold. First, it does allow for the lightweight head to be used almost anywhere and decreases the weight at the top of the stand or for hand holding. Second, adding a case and attaching it to the lower part of your light stand adds a little weight for stabilization- and in case of a stand fall, lessons the chance of damaging the main unit by so much.
@@kaskoPhoto thank you very much. I'll try it out and let you know how it works for me.
@@israelgamas9542 please do! I’m sure others would be interested in your findings as well.
the original would be 24"
Thank you
