Godox AD100 Modifiers NOT requiring an S-Bracket
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 8 июл 2024
- The Godox Flashpoint Xplor AD100 flash is a small round head can-shaped photography strobe that is super small and portable as photography flashes go, so it makes sense to use very portable lightweight soft box modifiers with it instead of a stupid heavy clunky S-bracket. Here are some great flash modifiers to use with the AD100 that don't require and S-Bracket or Bowens mount.

I really like that your walls are covered with photos you’ve taken
That Angler softbox is just way too cool. I have a 48" parabolic soft box thats way too big for outdoors and was looking for a smaller one ..this looks perfect.
Is it actually parabolic?
@@darylnd it is parabola shaped so yes. It's the Glow Parabolic 48". Came bundled with an AD400Pro
I am going to start learning flash photography. I want a not too heavily priced, lightweight, portable setup that I can take with me wherever I go to cultivate and continue this new hobby of mine.
What do you suggest?
I love my Angler softbox. I just noticed your wall of amazing images. Gorgeous!
There's something so special when you see a print as opposed to seeing an image on a monitor.
Someone is loving his AD100 :) Love to see some love for Angler here. They have amazing modifiers.
I love it when someone actually puts some freaking thought into designing products that actually work for those that use them. Well done Angler!

That system seems perfect for you. Really glad you found it.
Dude! So glad I came across your videos. I was about to go down some crazy rabbit holes with lighting.. Thanks man, truly appreciate the no nonsense content your putting out.
I need to learn about lighting more. Thanks for your dedication to this.
just want to tell you I'm happy for you getting a YT shelf for these products. congrats. love your videos and your whole shebang.
So happy I found this. Almost purchased the profoto.
Cara looks amazing in the final sparkly dress shots!!
Portable lightboxes, portable flashes, etc. are getting everyday more and more easy to use. I want some of those! But the problem is : I never stop buying gear!. Thanks for another excellent video!

I'm a huge fan of your work
I’m another one looking for angler soft boxes. Thank you for such an informative video.
What a great system! Love it.
used the Profoto version this week, so this is quite timely finding this channel.
Amazing coverage as always. My lights and portable stands and lights are super heavy. I never worry about wind but I wish I had seen your show years ago. One of these days I have to switch everything.
I appreciate your channel and the information you provide, thanks.
Great video, I purchased a AD100 a couples years ago and I haven't found a use for it, but this FastBox makes me find a purpose for the AD100.
This is the perfect setup for me. Glad I found your channel and reviews on this gear.
Awesome, thank you!
this is it !! so glad you shared this !!!!! perfect
I just bought 2 of these and I started playing with them earlier tonight. These are incredible!
Yes they are!
That was a very informative video Mr. Markus. May I just add that Cara's look, hair and fashion reminded me of a 'Bond Girl' shoot and setting. Very classy and sensual. Great Job!
I love it. You do such great videos that the short and interesting. They are always very informative. Thanks for sharing this information.
Thank you. I am nervous about purchasing my first light and this is insightful
Thanks! My Wish kit keeps getting bigger!
Really enjoying your new videos and the look of them! Great info too, keep it up.
Glad you like them!
I love the Roundflash Dish and the Photek Softlighter
Thanks Markus for your reviews of portable and light soft boxes and lights. I’m like you and hate having to carry Bowen’s mount adapters and prefer to go as simple and light as possible.
Well, I know which soft box I'm getting next! That was way too easy! Thanks Markus. 😁😁
Your videos are gold, thank you so much!! I have totally revamped my lighting setup in the past couple months, thanks to your videos!

@@photographer8486 I would suggest the Godox AD100 Pro along with the Angler soft box he is talking about in the video. I have also started using umbrellas.....they are cheap and really throw the light.
Brilliant!!! Thanks Marcus!
cool video, beautiful shots - love it
Luv the silliness 1:22 And the education 🙂
I enjoy all your photography videos. You have such valueable information. Your concepts are crisp and clear and easy to understand. I have taking several online classes but I've learned so much from you that helped me bring my photography to the next level
Great to hear!
Super helpful, as always. Godox should pay you, since you've sold me on the AD100.
Thought the same, I’m sittning here thinking I should get two AD100 and that’s only thanks to Markus advice 😊
I have a cheap softbox similar to the cheap one shown in the early part of this video. I took it out of its bag exactly once, and fumbled around with it in someone's house. It was awkward and I wound up not even using it. I used the S-bracket with it exactly once. So none of that was cheap, in fact it was a waste of money. If you have a studio, where lights seldom need to be broken down (?) then I can see where cheap = good. That said, if someone has a studio and regularly uses lights, a more expensive folder paid for itself long ago.
I'm attracted to the run-and-gun ease of use here, and I think I'm now willing to pay for it.
Thanks all the good insight, looking fwd to your next informative video.
Awesome Markus 🤩
Thank You For Your Amazing Tips Always 🔥
This video helped me a ton. Keep posting more
just found your channel, love your energy! cant believe i've never stumbled across you before now. I'm a follower!
Welcome!!
This is so cool! Thanks for sharing!
well darn it Markus, you got me wanting that 100 and the angler!! thanks for sharing!!!
Sorry 😁
That setup is perfect! I'm using a light set up myself, although nothing as simple as yours. I'm using a 43" collapsible Godox umbrella and the Magmod magshoe 2 in combination with the ad200pro. It's nice for now 👍🏼
I'm thinking of this exact set up. Do you use the extension for the Ad200?
I am going to start learning flash photography. I want a not too heavily priced, lightweight, portable setup that I can take with me wherever I go to cultivate and continue this new hobby of mine.
What do you suggest?
Man! I own like 6 stupidly heavy, bulkly set ups that I don't use cause they are heavy and bulkly and a pain in the ass! This is cool!!!!
Hey! thank you for the tips!
Yahoo! Well after I have bought 5 ad 200, we are switching to the 100, do you realize I have bought almost everything you have used in the past 2 years, right when I thought I had in all, you pull this out of the your hat. YAHOO!! good job
I'm not getting rid of my AD200s. There's a time and place for everything. The AD200s are for when I need or want to be super compact and lightweight.
Love this video. Saved!!
Your house is “so you”.
So unique!
Great video. I was in the same boat with buyers remorse over my bulky, clunky S-brackets, that long top screw annoys me to no end. For those of us on the other side of the pond though, this Angler Fastbox is "strikingly similar" to the SMDV Speedbox Flip28G. I didnt want to buy yet another softbox, but these things are fantastic for portability! SMDV by the way sells all kinds of replacement parts and adapters for these boxes, which is handy. That Angle Grip light stand adapter can be purchased separately and they even have square, rectangular, and strip boxes with the same basic design. That said, they'll still have to bury me with my trusty umbrella softboxes, I'll never let them go!
SMDV is built the same way, but has FAR more options with interchangeable accessories between Angler and SMDV. Hard magnetic attached gels, larger sizes up to 43", large strips, 1x3 strips, lanterns, as well as a larger version of this exact design which is their new 32". The 32" is my new go-to lighting setup for a single key light. It's big enough to not have hard lines in the face. They also offer grids, and cost slightly less. Angler is nice but they hardly offer a full range of options.

What do you suggest? ? @tpe4ever @rongreit9677
Well done. Thanks
Thansk for this, glad I found your channel. I have a 36 inch softbox that has the four ribs to fit into a Bowens mount I bet you could use that with this mount.
I use the Angler Fastbox Pistol Grip on an AD200, then I used the metal back plate of an AD-S17 and a 3d printed adapter ring to attach Godox Mount softboxes like the AD-S60S - nice small modifier and no need for an S-bracket. The pistol grip angle adjustment can't bear the weight of the larger AD-S85 softbox, so I tend to use those with an AD300 or AD360ii (with my 3d adapter)
I'm trying to visualize, is that so you can use the bare bulb of the ad200 right? If so that's awesome
@@herbrockone5068 yes, the AS-S17 backplate uses the barebulb head, the 3dprinted speedring attaches to metal backplate with the bulb in the middle, and the Godox mount softboxes attach to the speedring - no large bowens mount soft box, no s-bracket.
AMAIZING
Thank you Marcus for taking the time to make these videos you are my go to guy for lighting ideas and lighting set ups. I think you do a great job and I appreciate you.
Great video
The godox umbrella soft box is my most used modifier
It's awesome isn't it
thank you
Thank you!
love it, so easy, but i dont mind the cheap one either
Thank you.
G R E A T !!!!!...Thanks a lot!!!
Hi
I love your work and way you explain everything about lights etc and everyone agree that you are great teacher but…most of us are beginners and we wonder what is best lights for beginners (can be one light or two-budget around 1000$ lights with soft box) because I strong believe you are right person to ask that important question
Thank you and keep going guys
Before AD100 that would have been something like:
2 x AD200
2 x AD-S7
2 x AD-E2
2 x AD-S2
2 x Fosoto FT-190B
Get a small fishing or tripod bag that would fit the long parts, either already set up (so that you unfold and that's it) or loose. Done!
@@marcinmrzyglocki oczywiście nie ważna cena dla mnie jeśli chodzi o oświetlenie. to te 2 lub 3 lampy kupię bo Głównie do sesji w plenerze
Dzięki
Thanks!
I purchased the AD-AB adapter ring along with the Bowens mount adapter ring for the AD400 Pro. They work together for the AD300 Pro’s. I have a couple of the S Brackets too. They are big, heavy and clunky. But I would like honk they would sell an adapter ring for the 100. Idk, but it would make sense. And they’re nowhere near as heavy and clunky as the SBrackets, and they attach directly to the light and never have to be removed.
Fastest set-up on wild west =)
super bro
The bestest!
This actually sux. As much as I love what you demonstrated here and it is really light, easy to setup and use, it's off the the store again to buy a whole new set of gear. Great video and I'm not shooting the messenger here lol😂
Hey if you like what you have and it works for you, then stick with it. I'm always looking for smaller, lighter, easier. It's an obsession
@@MarkusPix I use 4 godox qt series indoors (400s & 600s) and 4 ad200 for portability, but yes the S2 sux. The Ad-b2 is good for doubling the 200s when needed, but still a heavy piece of gear. Thanks for showing the lightweight easy to use modifiers that can be used also on the 200s with its adapter. 👍
👍👍👍Thank you!
Not sure if I can purchase this in the UK. I love what you say about S Brackets. Newer made a plastic version of the old ones for a square flash only. You know I find your demeanor very uplifting. I get a little down sometimes and your videos give me quite a lift. Thanks.
😃 Every time I watch you, I want to buy something! 😅
I would love Angler did an adapter for the Nanlite / Viltrox FM mount (the small bowens mount) it would make for a perfect little package for these small lights!
Every time I tried to use a soft box or umbrella outside, it was me versus the wind.
What is even greater it has a built in fan exactly what the ad200 is missing. I might end up buying one. Way too cool.
Sooo i fell in love with doubling up the 200 to make a 400 for my sports portiats sessions ( have to use HSS for sports movement) now im lost how to generate that scenario for 400.. but i looooove this 100 idea. Ugh you messed me and my adorama cart up 😂
hey! just subscribed , binged watched your videos ! your amazing bro! thanks for the advice! hey ,I'm new to photography , what type of light stands do you recommend that's cheap and sturdy so the light boxes will not topple over due to wind
?
My favorite strong all around light stand is Norms ruclips.net/video/mxtEK1f-ZP8/видео.html if you're not using big modifiers or super heavy lights, then I use Impact 6,8 or 10 ft stands like the Impact LS8, also featured in this video
I'm with you, brother, I hate S brackets too
👍
Docyou think that stroboss 36 will be enough for annoutdoor photoshoot? In a sunny day? It has a GN 36. Or i need anytong stronger for softbox umbrella?
Will it work with the V1 the Angular because those extra brackets look the same as V-1 just different color? I live right up the street always look for ya when driving thru Red Rock. Thanks for your help. At the moment Im looking for strobes I shoot Rodeos but am not sure if I can get away with 300?
That Angler softbox it is great but too expensive for me:(( thank you !
Cute sparkly dress
I agree
Markus please come to ShutterFest 2024 fellow photogs will LOVE you like I do. #shutterfest #salsincota
Hi Markus, I love your obsession with small and light. This fast softbox looks pretty good, as does Cara - excellent as always.
One thing though in any real wind (real world outdoors) a small stand with a 28" box is easy prey to wind and a smashed AD100/200. IMO as case of when, not if. This aside from an assistant to hold light/stand how do you ensure no 'blow overs' without adding additional (heavy) counterweight ballast. Even water bags are messy inconvenient and contradict your travel light approach. Just wondering how you deal with this issue?
ruclips.net/video/hz89VIMQZDY/видео.html
Great video!!! Adding to the cart! Do they sell “handheld grip” separately?
It comes with a bracket you can use as a handle, but I never need those, I just hold it like a can of soda
do you have any videos going over what softbox size we should buy?
S-bracket is not the lightest or smallest. But it is sturdy and strong for the purpose.
It is excellent when having multiple different lights and that one Bowens mount.
But only if you have that extra mass and size dialed in for your flash setups.
S-bracket works in studio or indoor location, but not so great for on-the-go. Like traveling.
Why it stays home in my home studio. Good for staying put. Not so much for mobile.
@@DezSantana there is multiple different "mobile" setups.
One can be where your move from location to location and you have couple big wheeled bags.
Other is that you go to on-site from the car, so car is near by and you have lot of stuff in the car anyways.
Some is that you set up to shoots in many locations in the day, but you still need more than just flash and camera, and you have one bigger bag.
Etc.
But it doesn't work when you have one passenger bag and you do not have even space for anything else than maybe one small umbrella.
@@paristo I know how the S2 is used. I've had it for years. It's not compact, nor the perfect mobile option. I've used other adapters that worked better. This Angler product is intriguing.
@@DezSantana those don't replace the S-bracket. They are different for purpose.
The S-bracket is for other use than when traveling just with one backpack or so.
There is reason why studios has different equipment than when going to multiple different on-sites.
Sometimes you don't need sturdy, flexible and time saving option because it is heavier and bigger.
It is like monopod vs tripod vs string.
Monopod is great when you run and gun, when you are moving, but in most traveling cases you just need string. But neither replaces a good tripod.
I pack lot of stuff on my car just to be prepared for anything. I have from lightweight solutions to all the way to C-stands, and when I know I need it, I have studio stand as well for the camera.
I have tools with me, from saws to ropes to drills etc. Because at any given time I can build all kind supports and get lights to temporal places for the effect.
I have even a custom made 33 ft (11m) long monopod with capability to hold 2,4 kg weight straight to side, and it has only 2,8kg mass as made from aluminum, collapsible to just 2,6 meters.
Even regardless I loved traveling with just a funnybag size bag, few lenses, flash, batteries etc, you are at best limited to be capable work in any situation. It is just another end of compromise spectrum, and S-bracket does shift it more towards the possibilities.
@@paristo You're not teaching me anything new. I've been doing this a long time. Already know this.
MarkusPix you are a really cool reviewer, I really like your videos. Tell me please, do you also think that umbrella softboxes are bad (like Godox). It is better to use parabolic umbrellas like ub85/105/130 because they have a long needle where to hang the flash. Therefore, it is better to fill the modifier over its entire area. Right?
I love umbrella softboxes, I've used them for years

Thank for the video, ad100pro can work pluged to power or only bateries? Thanks
How is the light output with the the angler no diffusion vs bare head? I would love something like this kit but also looking for the max output configuration when I need it. Basically use the anglers as a big reflector. Usually I get better output from an open softbox than even the polished reflectors.
The strongest output is simply using the 100 as is out of the box. Angler diffusion cannot be removed, a silver umbrella is all you need if that's the way you want to go
Have you ever tried Magmod with the AD200? Seems a quick set up. I would use the extension to get the weight to the base of the stand. How often do you use the extension or are you done with AD200s?
I am going to start learning flash photography. I want a not too heavily priced, lightweight, portable setup that I can take with me wherever I go to cultivate and continue this new hobby of mine.
What do you suggest?
Alway awesome information 🙌🏼 Quick question what is the brand & link for the light weight plastic universal ash head bracket - stand adapter ? Thanks
This is the metal version www.adorama.com/fpsrbf.html?gclid=Cj0KCQjwqoibBhDUARIsAH2OpWhOi7dq5ZEvzFdiPuex3JKszYkEBfciq9xLOyJngpHwjj2fIXDc_BYaApWAEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds&
The plastic version came with the old Godox softboxes but you can still get them from AliExpress (with the softbox) www.aliexpress.us/item/2251801219171823.html?spm=a2g0o.order_detail.order_detail_item.5.23804f03qITC9T&gatewayAdapt=glo2usa
It helps to glue washers to the tips so they grab better and don't dig into the light ruclips.net/video/IQOl0fw5cXE/видео.html
@@MarkusPix Thank you so much brother for taking the time to respond. I really appreciate your content and commitment to helping those in the Photo community.
PS : I also dwell in a Beach Community. Sunny Isles Fl. It’s the only way to live 🏝 ✌🏼
I think I'm gonna sell my ad300 pro, buy a couple more ad100s and get a couple of these angler softboxes...for a solo guy like me who doesn't drive, these are game changing for my body.
Take your time, ad300 is a tank and doesnt overheat as fast as ad100. )
@@Potalakh thank you for sharing. I haven't been able to stress test my ad300 yet but that's great to hear. I did recently use the ad100 in insane June afternoon heat here in Dubai. Thankfully I wasn't popping too many frequent flashes but it got insanely hot merely by the weather. I'll keep this in mind about the ad300.
I am going to start learning flash photography. I want a not too heavily priced, lightweight, portable setup that I can take with me wherever I go to cultivate and continue this new hobby of mine.
What do you suggest?@@Potalakh
Great videos like always but, do they make strip boxes? Also is the round adapter fit the ad200 round head?
No the ad200 round head won't fit, only the fresnel
@@MarkusPix I use it with the bare bulb (removed the knob on the flash head). Works perfectly!
smdv flip branded products = angler fastbox??
When are you going to do an episode on monopods? Particularly , ones with a folding tripod base and a ball head that collapses into a compact size for travel.
I just did
which both of the two links d0 i need to buy for that setup? :)
This is a great video. I like the smallness and how light it looks. Is the adapter for the AD200 the same one for the speedlight? Now do I sell my AD200 and go with an AD100
Keep the 200, it's great. The 100 is a great supplemental light to have when you want something small. Yes the speedlight head
i got the angler softbox and was amazed how easy it was
Can you use the ad200 with the bare bulb? I assume you can if you attach the bulb unit after it goes through the hole. But will the box collapse without hitting the bulb?
No this isnt made for the 200 bar bulb, I tried. There are adapters that hold the fresnel and round heads, but the shape of the bar bulb head wont fit, so I shaved off the side knob and forced it in, but the results were not optimal, so its not recommended to even try. This softbox is best used with an AD100
The AD100 requires running a power cable to it or are batteries an option? Great video.
No cables, its totally portable
