I appreciate the simple and straight forward nature of this demonstration. I would like to see a similar demonstration in which you are hitting the background with a colored light and how you can control the spill from the main light on the background.
This is such a helpful demonstration of light qualities for those trying to figure out the intricacies of hard vs soft, specular vs diffuse, large vs small, etc.... Well done Pye and MagMod!
Yes!! Another great MagPye video flying in to help newer MagModders like me see the differences in light. Thank you both so much! 😃👍 When going through the snoot levels, it made me think of the MagBeam/Masks that I own and how I don't see the Mask pattern unless the Beam is fully collapsed. Any plans for a MagBeam tutorial? Also, my wife loves putting on the MagSphere too Pye 😂 it seriously is so fun.
Very useful video, controlling every factor other than the modifier is SO useful towards appreciating the impact on quality. Nice style and very useful.
Pye, this is the best video you've ever done - and that's saying something because I've learned nearly everything I know about photography from you. I have everything but the 42 magbox. So while I thank you for this video, my wallet curses you for this video because now I'm going to go buy the 42 haha.
Thanks, Pye- clear and to the point video as usual -plus your personality makes it fun to watch.. Very helpful since I have all the Magmod items except the 42 octa. What w/b awesome is a downloadable chart that has all the images to see them in one place.

Thanks for this video. I use Godox flashes and i just got my MagMod system to pair with it. I have nearly all the color gels, so I'd be interested to see a reference video for those as well. I have 1st and 2nd generation gels.
LOTS of people think magmod products are too gd expensive so including the side by side of the magspehere vs the magbox 24 w/ & w/o the grid was a great way to show the light fall off, the difference in light quality, & set up time. This will be a great way to get people in the magmod system without having to spend more than $100 by choosing the sphere & grid to work their way up to the boxes.
Only piece you forgot to demonstrate is the Focus Diffuser for the 24" MagBox! I'd love to see your take on that, it's effect, and what you use it for :)
Great video, I have all these mods and the 24 and 48 are my favourites, especially for dropping the gels in, such a shame the 36" strips don;t allow the gels to pop in as easily at all, measurement is just slightly off on them holders.
Great video and very well presented 👍 I’m a Godox user but I’m curious to try these Magmod products especially the Magmod modifiers like the mag bounce and mag beem and the gels to try at events and receptions as they have great reviews
Pye - would really love to see a similar video with same scientific comparison using the new XL mods compared to softbox , different reflector extension , grids etc
Great job systematically going through all the magmod modifiers. However, you missed a cool option with the strip box being set in a horizontal orientation.
Thanks for this video, really helps to show the difference between the products. I did notice one thing, there seems to be a slight color shift between modifiers. Is this because of AWB? Is there a way to eliminate this color shift?
Fantastic video! You’ve helped me better understand various modifiers before I buy them! I’m just curious how much the angle of the MagSphere changes things. In the video you had it aimed directly at the model, but I’m curious how it would’ve changed if angled up, both in light quality and flash power strength needed. Thanks again for a great video!
Glad you found the video helpful. If you were to point the MagSphere up it would really depend on the type of room and ceiling you have. It would also depend on the color of the ceiling. It will throw light forward, but you would have quite a bit of it going up and bouncing off the ceiling as well which would be variable based on what it was bouncing off of and how high up it is.
When you say "bare bulb" in the beginning, do you mean bare bulb, or do you mean fresnel head as a base? I can't quite tell. After the base shots for comparison, it looks like it must be the fresnel head to be able to attach all the magmod products like you are, but it wouldn't seem an equal comparison if your actual base shot was bare bulb. Thank you for any info! Trying to nail the best scenario for portable flash that won't get knocked down in the wind during my on-the-go, outdoor senior pictures.
Magmod needs a new magsphere and magbounce that fits with the round Westcott FJ80 II and Godox V1. The current ones don't fit or are too tight and a pain to put on.
Curious as to why you said the Mag-Sphere is your favorite, but also stated the Mag-Bounce has uniform coverage and softer shadows? Please say it isn't because of the sound of attaching the Mag-Sphere! Lol

Pye does such an amazing job educating and demonstrating thought processes and how they can be used in your workflow

This was so helpful. I have all but snoot. Still learning. I feel more confident now thanks to you! 🎉
We're stoked you feel more confident in your lighting! You got this!

Glad it was helpful and you enjoyed it. Making a chart like that is a good idea. We will look into it.
Thank you, Pye, you are the best. After watching your video ordered MagMod Professional Flash Kit.

Very nice of you. It's great to see all the differences between the modifiers
I enjoyed seeing all of the modifiers being used. It help me plan the roadmap for my next purchase. Will you do a video for the MagBeam?

Pye-thank you for such a great educational piece. Not confusing at all!
It is a master at education! Glad you liked the videos!
That was amazing and so very helpful- Thank you !!!
I’ve found that the magbounce with grid is a great combination for run and gun event photography with handholding the flash.
Only piece you forgot to demonstrate is the Focus Diffuser for the 24" MagBox! I'd love to see your take on that, it's effect, and what you use it for :)

Great video, I just got the MagMod flash kit 2, your video helped me understand how to use them!

I just got into using MagMod modifiers alongside my Godox flashes. It's a great combination.
Amazing you remember me what I have on my bag!
Great video, you have saved me hours of research 😃
This is an absolutely amazing video!
Nice job Pye
Thank you. I loved the video and how you broke it all down. Just shows not to be intimated by flash photography.
Thank you for your time on this. It is very helpfull.
Pye - would really love to see a similar video with same scientific comparison using the new XL mods compared to softbox , different reflector extension , grids etc

great demos and comparisons!

I really appreciate the straight forward approach. More information type videos should be more content, less editorial😅 and/or personal experience. 👍
We hear you. Thank you for letting us know what works.
I notice some sort of green color cast when using the magbounce... or is just my screen?
You forgot the most interessting one (focus diffusor) otherwise top video in every way !
Great video and tuition
Superb video 👍🏼
Great video. Very informative. Thanks Martin.🎉
Glad you enjoyed it
Eztremely helpful video.thanks a ton for sharing this
A 3' would be perfect - any plans for that?
idk why but I love the word grid. lol great video
Amazing video
Pye 👏🏾👏🏾
He's awesome!
How far away from the model are you keeping your lights? Does that vary per modifier? Would appreciate knowing. Thank you. Good video.👍
Is the Sphere warming the light a bit or is it just the lack of specularity?
This was great Thank you
When you said about the pose then see that Kiara Held that pose consistent in all shot 🤨 she is a great model to work with wow I like her

Great! I need to have them all now ;)
I mean we won't stop you. 😂
@@MagnetMod Ha ha :)
What would be cool is to compare the magbox against other softboxes like the glow ez or the akr1 kit vs the magmod equivalent
Great Video!
Thanks!
Is this going to be redone with the new XL?
shame they didn’t share with you they had this XL coming. Outdated video already
Great video...but ya's forgot the MagBeam 😫

Useful but what would have been more useful was showing the impact each mod had on flash power output.
