This was less of a gear review and more of a “how-to” - which I much prefer. Keep up the great work!!
fitzpb thanks! Glad you like this style of video 🙏
I totally agree! Awesome video. This is my first time seeing one of your videos. I truly appreciate how honest you were and straight forward it was. I’m a new subscriber. Keep up the great work!
fitzpb exactly what I thought in head while watching the video lol
There is no reason for this video to have downlikes. MY GOODNESS Josh, this video is YEARS ahead any of the others on RUclips. Great explanation and detail of your setup and how it works! Thank you!
Very good presentation... no nonsense and straight to the point.
Godox/Flashpoint and Glow are amazing. Best value dollar for dollar
Hey man, thanks for taking the time for showcasing all this! Much appreciated.
J Taylor thanks for the love!
Parabolics really need a bare bulb to work properly. Fresnel head or speed lights are too directional for the light to collimate. In your giraffe example, you have the parabolic placed closer than the other modifier so that's not a fair comparison. Magmods are pretty cool though.
Wow so glad I came across this video, Lots of very useful information thank you for spending the time to help educate us.
I have both the 28 and 48 and love them
Wish you had a bunch of demo pictures showing results with the gels. I liked the explanation with the parabolic boxes, however.
In the overcrowded RUclips world of photography you young man have placed yourself far up the scale of excellent. Well done, I'm a new subscriber. Keep em coming.
R.E.I. Wow thank you so much!! Hopefully I’ll get back to some non-vlog content soon! 😅
Straight-forward information! Keep up the work.
I couldn't never sell off my ad200. Its the icon of ocf on the go. It fits in my camera bag like a speedlight and its 3 times the power of a speedlight. Its sick. A dream conceived a decade earlier.
Excellent demonstration of gelling an AD200 in a modifier. Between the Godox and Glow products, Adorama has earned nearly all of my business. My collection of fantastic Glow soft boxes seems to just keep growing ; )
Thank you so much for great suggestions! I already have the Magmod equipment, but being able to pair this with an AD200 Pro and parabolic sounds just heavenly. Thanks again! 😊
great how to video showing the entire sequence. I just became aware of the Glow soft boxes last week and to see them in action was great, thanks.
Since you have the b2 I'd use that, even for one ad200, over the s bracket. Just mount the bulb in the middle. The reason is because the reflective plate in there makes the ad200 more effective. More light same ad200
Incredibly helpful thankyou!
What are the odds I just found this video after I tried finding one to see if there was a review on the glow 28 inch deep parabolic soft box. I found a couple other ones but not exactly what I was looking for. So I ordered the 28 inch Glow deep parabolic softbox and paired it up with my godox AD200 and used it for the first time today when I was taking senior portraits pand I am a firm believer of the parabolic softboxes on making nice soft soft light. I have been using a 36 inch Glow foldable beauty dish with very good results, but the parabolic takes it to a whole new level. I use a Nikon z6 and today’s session I am doing a lot less editing and I don’t have to lower the highlights down so much due to being a tad too harsh. Great video and I might pick up some mag mod accessories for my ad200.
SO GOOD! 💜
TWIN COAST thanks guys!
This is a great set up, this is why I am looking forward to purchasing 2 ad200s with adapter and some magmod accessories. This is the type of set up I had in mind.
Jose Lara awesome!! You won’t be disappointed!
Awesome, looks really convenient!
As one of only a few photographers that have actually used the MagBox, MagRing and MagShoe - I have got to say that you'll love how easy it is to set up and gel your softbox when using the new MagMod products. I appreciate you showing photographers what you are using and how you love using the gear you currently have, but rest assured the MagBox, MagRing, and MagShoe will take the ease of this whole process for you to another level. Great video though!
Trevor Dayley For sure! I just love the versatility of this setup for the cost. Would love to try out those products though!
Live Magmod....but this beats it in price :( as often my softbox breakes on beach shots...i would prefer lower price :)
@@intagphotovideo You just need a softbox that does break. 😂
@@dayleyhighlights hmmm finally I did not know what to ask for Xmas :) thank you Trevor :)
I use everything you have here except the Magmod stuff. Thanks for the idea on using them to gel inside the softboxes.
Mark Eggers glad to help!!
Get the H200r round head for the AD200 you can gel or use a diffuser!
Stephen Gatley magmod can be used on speedlights as well though for more flexibility
Thanks for the tip . I luv glow products . I didn't think about sliding a get inside my softbox onto AD200.. Awesome Bro
Thanks for this review. It really helped me understand how it all connects.
Glad I caught this, I didn't realize how inexpensive the Adorama Glow EZ-Lock were...cheers from Victoria BC
Tim West you won’t be disappointed!
They way they can do the price is by taking a 5$ umbrella concept and supersize ing it, and adding some clasps, some velco and better parts. Maybe cost them about $12-25$ and upsell. Thats how it works. Great video, and I wish they would snap down into the closed size like you did in the video..haha, nice1!
Love this video man excellent job, not a moment wasted. You just gained a new subscriber!
Great video, love the soft boxes from Adorama !
thank you!
Straight to the point. Thank you.
you are awesome, thank you for sharing your experience and how to do videos.
I gave thumbs up immediately following the intro. Great video!
Heather Smith thank you so much!!!
Ha, I have the exact same setup. I usually tend to use the magmod products when on location and will only use the ez glows when I absolutely need softer light or shooting the subject against the wall in order to get a much softer shadow.
joe s can’t argue with that!! ☺️
I prefer bare bulb head inside of reflectors, as the beam of the fresnel (pronounced, "fren-elle") head is around 55° so you're losing radius of light reflectance inside of the parabolic.
I actually use the reflector plate inside of the softbox so the light still has to bounce around the entire area before coming out. But I agree the bulb is probably better to use inside of modifiers! The fresnel head allows me to use magmod accessories outside of the softbox also so I find it more convenient
Great tutorial! Thanks
Great information god bless
Why you don't use the bare bulb? if you use the speed light head on the parabolic the light is not to straight and loose some of the bouncing on the parabolic ? nice video hope you can explain have a good one!
Alejandro Martinez Avila I agree completely and there are good gel options that wrap around the bare bulb
You probably should use the bare bulb when using softboxes but the reflector plate in the box should bounce the light around the entire area anyway. Since I use the magmod accessories on the AD200 without the softbox so a variety of shoots also, I find I often forget about the bulb and just bring the one head.
cant use bare bulb and color gels unless you have a mag-boob.
what about the photoresults of using ad200+magmod+glow ezlock parabolic
small But POWERFUL!
Great video I have the 28inch deep parabolic
Hi can you tex me the link for the adapter that you use in front of the Godox ad b2 please?
Thank you for sharing
Godox, Flashpoint and Chetah AD200 are all the same product, all made in the Godox factory, only difference is, the name change. Flashpoint triggers are slightly different from the X- pro from
Godox but do the same exact thing. Same price too!
Can I interchage brands and triggers.
@@Zetaphotography that Im not so sure about, I want to say yes, but I dont want to steer you wrong.
@@Zetaphotography yes you can
Great video very insightful look into your set up. Only critique would be that I would've found your video a bit more helpful if you gave more examples of your work results using the softboxes, magmods etc.
Thank you! I'll be sure to do more videos like that in the future! In the meantime I have a couple tutorials you may want to look at where I go over some of the lighting techniques I used to pull of specific looks
Question / concern... The magmod magnetic adaptor covers the air / breath vents on the AD200.. You must be very careful. Presenting it the way you are will blow it or cause it to overheat. I would do a disclaimer. Just my suggestions..
thanks for the suggestion but I actually checked and the vents aren't covered so it shouldn't cause any overheating
@@LexandJosh No problem and glad to hear yours are not covered but for your viewers it could be a nice suggestion to them of something to be mindful of.
@@MsSpokenvoice why would we need to be mindful of something that isn't an issue?
@@mikezupancic2182 not a problem mike.. Don't even take it into consideration. It's ok to maybe cover the air vents w/ the magmods and the lamps may over heat and blow the A200 and you'll just need to buy new ones. But No worries.. Nothing to consider or to be mindful of. Enjoy shooting, live life to the fullest..
@@MsSpokenvoice you aren't getting it. The magmod doesn't cover the vents. Not sure how many people need to tell you this. Its a non issue, so no, its stupid to warn people of a non issue. Even for people who don't know, its still a non issue.
Any reason i see a lot of people using the Godox AD200? I have the profoto stuff which i am happy with.
looks better than MagBox !
I have Glow Parapop on AD-B2 in my studio and putting a gel option is not there .. Godox should think of some option for that ... other than the plus shaped gels available for barebulb that you have to stick with heat resistant strings .. a pain to deal with .. :( The other AD200 I have is is on another Octabox with Fresnel head and Rogue gel and it is pretty easy.
To be honest, have the magbox and regret buying it.
I found the ez glow was faster,easy,and bigger than magbox.
I just got the ad400 so not worrying about the extra power.
24inch is a small size for the magbox. It has a harsher light. I find a 34 inch the perfect fit.
Hi
For a single ad 200 Pro do you think that it will be able to lit the glow EZ lock 16 x 48 of the 12 x 56 for inside also for ouside as well
Let me know
Thanks you
I only have two softboxes, and those are the same two I use with a single AD200 and AD600 Pro. The price-to-value ratio you mentioned should be a formula behind every gear purchase. They beat the Magbox in that respect. But I like the other Magmod accessories.
i want link for standard reflector
Nice video , however Westscott modifiers for me ruled love them killer
3 times the power
Great video nice
At 5:40 are you sure both softboxes are in the exact same position? When you demonstrate the Glow EZLock parabolic softbox, the edge of the softbox is visible in the top-right of the video. When you demonstrate the other 'similar size' softbox, the edge of the softbox can't be seen. If it was back further, there would definitely be less vignette on the backdrop. Without knowing that they're both in the same place, it's a tough comparison to make.
Also, were you using the grid on the parabolic (as shown all the way up to 4:51)? Was there a grid on the other softbox, or just the outer diffusion material?
Not trying to be nit-picky, but I'm curious if we're comparing apples to apples here or if there are too many other variables.
I have the same 20" softbox and I love it, along with a Phottix 41" quick-folding softbox (which is not parabolic, but easier to use when I need a large light source in tight spaces). The Godox AD200 strobes are *awesome* and I actually have no need for the MagMod system with the new Godox round head and magnetic accessory pack. It's cool that Adorama's Flashpoint versions are exactly the same as Godox, with a better warranty and better support. I have the Flashpoint eVOLV 200 strobes which are the same as the Godox AD200.
There is another cool option with the AD200 using the bare bulb (which lights very nicely and evenly inside the softbox) and gelling the bulb with one of these: flashgels.com/
I'm actually picking up spare bare-bulbs for my AD-B2 so they can stay on there (with a protective cover) and it can be ready all the time. That way I only need to attach an AD200 (or two) to the AD-B2 and not worry about digging for the bulbs. I rarely use the Fresnel head, and mainly use the bare bulb. But now that I have the round head and magnetic accessory kit, I'm torn between the two!
The light is in the same position, parabolic softbox is a bit longer and therefore comes closer to the backdrop. Principle is the same although in retrospect I probably should have moved it closer. And no the grid was not used, just outer diffusion for both.
Ya I've heard great things about the round head, I just need the magmod cause I like swapping the system to my speedlights when needed.
Nice I haven't seen these before! Thanks for the tip.
Interesting haha I basically only use the fresnel and not the bare bulb so mine stay attached to the b2 head. Although aside from portrait studio work, I must admit that I mainly use the AD200 for bounce or with the magmod attachments. Either way, exceptional light!
Thank you!
Agree AD200 + Ezlock softboxes are a great pairing. Not a big fan of the overpriced magmod stuff.
Curt Wrigley haha fair enough!
The ez lock softboxes are the best bang for buck, just buy a giant duffel bag and put two smaller ones with all the accessories in it. Since a single AD200 battery last an entire wedding (unless shooting over half power constantly) you're all set!
Isaac Alonzo agreed!!
Hi thanks for the video - what size does the 20 inch one collapse down to.
It's basically an umbrella mechanism inside so the bowens mount plate becomes the diameter and the rods fold down into a cylinder. My guess is around 30ish inches long
Hey Josh, if you were to travel the world with only a single flash setup, what would it be?
Jeff Lombardo definitely two AD200s and the Magmod system! That would be my compact travel setup. Of course if I have more space, the ad-b2 and a large softbox would be ideal as well 😊
looking to get this exact set up but that softbox isnt available anymore, know a similar one for cheap?
Nice video! I started doing this with my wescott rapidboxes a little while back too!
PS what is the name of the song you use for into/outro?
Colbe thanks! It’s called Run All Night by Stanley Gurvich. Got it off artlist
Hey Lex & Josh....i really enjoyed your video....a real good eye opener......question.....did you have the grid on the Aputure mini dome??
Black Steel Tv thanks! No grid for both softboxes in the comparison
I have the light dome mini ii and it comes with a grid. did you use a grid for your comparison?
Carlo Timothy both softboxes had the grid off
Lex and Josh wow that’s crazy then. how to explain the better fall off on the other box?
Carlo Timothy all down to the shape!! That’s why I love deep parabolic softboxes
What about cheetah stand modifers I have the max 20 its fairly cheap but pretty good as well
Ivona Humpalot ya looks very similar! As long as it has a deep parabolic shape it should have similar output
Ive wanted a deep parabolic like the zeppelin for awhile but could not justify the price.. I just learned about Adorama's glow products..
The prices are fantastic in comparison.. I will be buying one of their collapsible beauty dishes and one of their parabolic modifiers.. I want to pick up a couple streaklight 360's and a couple ad200's.. both are great and compact.. I NEED a more portable light set up for my shoots.. I often shoot on location and end up lugging so much heavy crap and the time to set up etc..
I think these would help me greatly
Brian Michael yes! Setup time is such a killer when it comes to location work. So much so that I often leave things behind because I’m scared about how much time it may take to set things up! These softboxes eliminate a lot of that worry and the Godox strobes are ultra portable and usable. Although I wish their trigger reliability was a little better, overall they are the best option out there
@@LexandJosh right now I use Bowens Gemini 500's and sure.. they are pretty.. powerful.. and robust... andFor portability And shooting on scene.. I use the paul c buff mini lithium pack.. it works and lasts a full shoot..
BUT.. they are Big.. bulky.. and heavy.. travelling by plane with them would be very pricey.. and cumbersome.
While.. the streaklight 360 or AD200's could literally fit a couple in my camera bag with my camera and lenses. And I can fly with them even have a couple compact lightstands. The modifiers I could pack with my clothes.. I travel to nyc a lot so Ill be stopping by adorama while there.
I wasn't sure what to think about the ad200 but they look very handy.. I already love the streaklight 360's power and versatility.. both are compatible with the bowens s mount bracket..
Ill be buying both with their respective creator kits.. plus all of my modifiers are already bowens anyway..
Brian Michael sounds good to me! Personally I went with the double ad200 setup and the ad-b2 head which combines them for twice the output. This suited my needs more as I often shoot indoor events where multiple lights are needed but still want a more powerful light for some situations!
@@LexandJosh that AD-B2 head is such an innovative idea.. I love that you just plug two ad200's into it.. I haven't seen that before your video.. I love it.. You are right.. that would be a great easy set up.. even if you doubled it up.. 2 ad200 combo packs and 2 adb2 heads if you want outdoor on sight 400ws 2 light set up.. and indoor.. you'd now have 4 of them.
Thanks for this, I'll probably pick up some of those softboxes. Have you considered using the Godox AK-R1 for the H200R? I think it will be simpler than the Magmod, and fill the softbox better since it has a round head.
Selfpowered ya definitely would be simpler in a lot of ways! I choose magmod because it also fits my speedlights which works well for me. As for filling the softboxes better, I just use the bounce plate in the softbox so I don’t worry too much about it.
Nice video. Two questions. How would you compare the MadMod system with the Godox Barn Door kit? I ask because Adorama has a twin Evolv200 bundle that includes the AD-B2 and 2 barn door kits each w/ magnetic gels and grid for $649. Second question: Have you used the Cheetah MAX 20? If so, how would you compare the EXLock 20" parabolic with the MAX 20? Thanks. Again, great review.
Thanks! I would definitely say that the MagMod kit is better. Better gels and grid quality, plus the ability to stack the modifiers is a pretty great feature. That being said it is quite expensive and if I didn't also have speedlights, the cost may not be worth it for me. That kit looks pretty sweet though! As for the MAX 20 I would say it is really similiar from what I've seen on the website. I haven't tried it but I would bet that it will have very similiar output to the ezlock softbox. Hope that helps! Thanks for reaching out
I don’t know if this question has been asked do you intentionally leave the reflector plate out
Curt Clement nope! Just took it out so you could see me put the head on. I usually use the softbox with the plate in
Hi great video. Just used your affiliate links. How do you compare magmod with the Godox rectangular D-07 or the round SR-1 adapter. Both of those have magnetic mechanism to snap on gels. I'm also interested to have small form factor and use with EZ-lock softboxes
Kien Chua thanks a lot!! I haven’t used either of the Godox gels but the reason I went with magmod is for the quality of the gels. Not only are the magmod colours really rich but they also don’t fade which is important
The downside to Magmod is the ridiculous price for what you get.
Tony Blackwell true but there aren’t any decent alternatives in my opinion
When you pay for MagMod you are paying for much more than just a product. You’re paying for the amazing customer service and backing of the products. If you have an issue and they will take care of you immediately. Try and get that from your cheap knockoff companies.
Magmod is made to last!
@@jdfitz Well, yeah, but what exactly do you need build quality or customer service for in case of a CTO filter in a plastic bracket?
Indeed but as you can see some people will find ways to make excuses for that huge markup
Guess what, we got the Magmod XL！😂
Hi thanks for the video. Were these taken with only one AD200 in the 48inch softbox? Does it have enough power for a modifier this size in the studio?
mvooo yes they were but it really depends on the type of lighting you intend to do. These shots were in a relatively dark environment with the light very close to the subject
I was looking for examples seen on cover... Where can I see them?

What is your website?
Andre Alfred lexandjoshphotography.com
Anyone know if these are a good alternative for my Aputure Lightdome? I know he showed the Lightdome mini in the comparison, but i have the big Lightdome.
Kevin Le the big ezlock is a good alternative for the big lightdome
Hi am new to off camera photography. Would an Ad200 be able to power the 48" deep Parabolic? Or would I need 2 ad200???
BMG Studios depends on the ambient light levels. In a dark studio you should be fine with just one, but outside you will definitely need 2
Got the info wrong. The ad200 costs $300 not $400 and the output is 3 times the power of a speedlight not twice the power.
$400 CAD
Can you use the Glow EZ-Lock Soft Boxes with continuous video lighting such as the Godox SL60W?
T. Karim ya for sure!!
Lex and Josh awesome! Thank you 🙏🏼
Magmod is releasing a double AD200 adaptor so problem solved!!!
Yeah, and way frigging overpriced.
That is a given for magmod products man.
Well with the chinese making things, I'm sure there will be a cheap alternative on the market soon. Or at the very least they should license their product to be sold under third party's like adorama where we can get the same thing for 50% less.
And still overpriced when there are better options available
you don't prefer the bulb head for the ad200?
Jessie Wald no I actually never use it with the bulb, I leave both my bulbs on the ad-b2 adapter and just use the fresnel heads
Great video! I have been looking for a good combo and this really breaks it down nicely. Have you tried the Rapidbox as opposed to the EZlock?
Michael Six Muldoon - NYC MAGICIAN thank you!! No I haven’t tried them as I was drawn to the deep parabolic shape of these ones initially
@@LexandJosh Thanks! I am new to softboxes, would you recommend the 28'" or 38" as a first time buyer? I think I am going to follow in your footsteps and go with the AD200 and the e-z lock, but the 48" may be a bit large for myself at the moment. I usually shoot portraits but occasionally have groups as well.
Michael Six Muldoon - NYC MAGICIAN if you shoot full body portraits and groups then the bigger the better! Go for the 38”
@@LexandJosh anddddd ordered. lol Thanks again! For the price, this is too good to pass up. I was considering the Magbox, but I can get numerous softboxes at these prices. Really appreciate your help!
Michael Six Muldoon - NYC MAGICIAN glad I could help!!
Hi guys, any chance you can talk about backdrops?
Alexis Hernalexis sure thing did you have a specific question about them?
Lex and Josh I usually take portrait pictures outside when the weather is nice and I’ve been using the Godox 600, now that it’s getting cold I’m struggling to sell that family portrait. I’m wondering what would I need to do it in house. I checked different material but they don’t look good. Maybe you can recommend a few good things that I could use. I do this as a part time and I want to keep on growing with this. Also thank u guys for sharing your videos. 😊👍
Alexis Hernalexis depends what type of feel you want for the images. For us we use a grey paper roll for all our studio shots because it absorbs colour really well and essentially becomes any colour we want. If you want a friendlier family vibe though maybe a wooden wall would be better? There are some that fold up to store away. Otherwise if you have some empty space in the house you can possibly dress it up for a nice portrait space with a homely feel
Lex and Josh thanks for replying, I never thought of using paper. Ill look into that. I saw a few options on amazon and I order a few backdrops but the quality wasn’t there. It was almost transparent. When I took the pictures the material reflected or you could see right through them. It’s my first time experimenting with backdrops.
Alexis Hernalexis yes the material matters a lot and you’ll have to pay for quality here. We use a seamless savage backdrop for our work which has served us really well so far
Is 1 AD200 enough for the larger parabolic? Do you end up using the dual set up for the larger para?
Ferenc Petho definitely depends on where you want to use the light. I would say indoors or in shade 1 is enough, in sun you will need the ad-b2 setup for sure. Smaller softbox can usually make due with 1 light although again, depends on conditions and how far the light is away from your subject
Hi,
Is this an Ezlock advertorial?
Mark James it’s not sponsored in any way, just a video about some softboxes I think are really good!
Look into the Godox Round Head for the AD200. Then you can add the the round head accessories which come with gels and are also magnet. You can basically take out Magmod out of the equation and are cheaper. m.ruclips.net/video/xmrayAxUt-k/видео.html
So, instead of just putting a piece of CTO on it using any duct tape and shooting away, you will buy a 90 dollar Magmod kit that you need to clumsily attach through the front of the softbox before you shoot...
B A ya... I mean of course that’s not the only way I use the MagMod system so it’s a great way to additionally use the product. Also in my experience taping gels to lights can be quite clumsy in execution especially when you are changing gels during a shoot
Hey Josh, check these guys out flashgels.com/. A bit pricey, but a great option for gelling those bulbs. I'm using their gels, and they're not quite as quick as magmod, but it beats trying to wrap an uncut gel sheet around those bulbs. Also, can you tell me the diameter and model on the reflector you're using on the B2 head?
Thanks for this video! Earned a Sub! I am hoping to be able to afford all of this one day. One Job at a time!
Preston Christman thank you so much!
How can I gel my ad200 bare bulb?
Polani Almoni I’ve seen people make little cones out of gel sheets, then slot it over the bare bulb. Or you can tape a sheet over the front of the light, within the modifier you are using. I must admit though I find these methods a little impractical especially when I swap colours out so often for my shoots!
400? I tough they’re 200? Adorama has Flashpoint
Me and my Nikon D500 single unit is 200, adapter makes it 400
You mean the modeling bulb?
@@therookiefisherman5234 two AD200's in the adapter with 2 bulbs makes it a 400ws flash (at 7:14)
2 x 200ws bulbs is not equal to a 400 ws bulb. It’s not straight addition. It’s closer to 1.5x total output.
Paul Tweten I think it’s even advertised from the manufacturer as having 400ws total output, I think what you mean is it’s not twice the brightness
Lex and Josh You said “it effectively gives you a 400watt light with a bowens mount” @ 7:00 minutes
This is misleading as a 400ws light would be brighter.
Paul Tweten again I think it actually does, the company advertises that it produces an equivalent to a 400ws light
It does produce 400ws, but it does not produce the same output as a 400ws light. A guide number would be a better way to measure the output of the light. Here is an experiment you can do to prove my point. 1 f stop is double the light. So if your theory was correct (200ws + 200ws = 400ws) then you can take 1 of your AD200s at a set distance with with a standard reflector and set it to full power and meter it. Let's say you get f8. If you were correct you can add a second AD200 at the same distance using the same reflector and you should get F11. This is 1 fstop, or double the light output. Chances are you will get f9 or f10 (less than double). Check out this interesting read on it. photo.stackexchange.com/questions/16320/does-adding-additional-strobes-cumulatively-add-to-the-flash-power @@LexandJosh
Paul Tweten read through the article, I still don’t see a difference between adding a second 200ws light or using a 400ws light. They would both result in the same output according to the equations in the article
instead of using magmods I use the original godox accessories (heads) easy and cheaper then the magmods....
Do you use the new round head? Or the original clip on ones for the fresnel head? I find the magmod gels to have a more pleasant colour output which is why I keep coming back to them
@@LexandJosh yes, I like the round head very much...easy to use and really versatile.... the color is ok, and if I don't like it....or I correct in ps or... I cut out the form of gels I used for bigger heads some time ago... :-)
it’s pronounced FREH-NEL fyi. good video btw
Carlo Timothy :)
“Really, really!!!”
I know! I was going to start counting.
...and I think you actually *can* pronounce the "s" in Fresnel, even though most people pronounce it the French way, with a silent "s".
有点意思
Parabolic softbox is Just a Marketing Gag. Watch this First: ruclips.net/video/lM5ME4o79bE/видео.html
If you put Diffusion Material in it, a parabolic softbox act Like a normal softbox (law of physics). Without Diffusion Material it is Just a deep softbox and the parabolic Form maybe is also irrelevant. Like a deep softbox without Diffusion material it collimates light. The Advantages of the parabolic form can only be used when the light shines inside the "softbox" (acting as a reflector) and when the light is movable along the symmetry axis (and of course without any Diffusion Material). Then it collimates light and is able to focuse it Like a fresnel lens
I subscribed, now make me want to hit the bell....
$400 each for AD200? Huh
That may be a typo. They're actually 299$
