MagBox Pro 42 Octa review - What's the BEST softbox for wedding and portrait photography?

[@Martinwhynot]

Hi, great video as per. Do you worry about taking a 42" softbox outdoors? I'd guess it will blow over in standard UK weather. I don't always have an assistant you see.

Good question! As the softbox is so big it is on a really heavy duty light stand, much bigger than the stands I normally use. I’ve taken it with me on a number of weddings and shoots where I’ve been on my own and it’s not blown over ☺️

[@delmarray1147]

I usually put a sandbag on it so the wind doesn't blow over

This is a great review. Sold me how the diffuser came out the top.🎉🎉🎉

Thanks so much! Yeah it’s so quick and easy to use, I love it! 🙌

Hi , great video and photography. I was wondering, when you change your white balance to 7000k do you gel your strobe? Say with a ctb?

[@ToniDarcy]

I gel my strobe to CTO which will make the skin warmer and WB 7000K to make the scene warmer. If I want to balance the scene for indoors I use CTO to match artificial lighting with WB 4000K to match the scene. I hope that makes sense ☺️

[@ToniDarcy]

Oh absolutely! I love the light from the softboxes!

At the moment I’m using a Manfrotto tripod. I have a couple of different sizes
