Great job stylizing the light for the subject and mood, showing how simple it can be, especially with MagMod! I love their products! Well done, Pye!

[@mathan3]

Iam a weekend wedding photograper from Germany and I have been shooting with magmod products for many years and love em. I already ordered the xl set for my godox ad200s. @pye I have bought your online workshops and learned a lot. Thankyou and Madmod for those creative people out, helping create wonderful images for their clients. Thankyou

[@draeknoxmedia]

They work wonderful with the ad300

[@kennethnielsen3864]

Thanks for sharing.

[@MagnetMod]

Our pleasure!

[@luthertolliver6023]

great information. i would love to see some groups images using the xl dome. thanks for all that you do to help us all grow.

[@user-xo6ws1tg5p]

Great Work

[@AverageXboxGamer]

This is awesome. I suspect that you may not even need the sphere as the main light. Seems like the grid itself would have given it a good punch.

[@papsny]

i have yet to see a comparison between the magmod XL vs a softbox and the old magsphere

[@user-qs9lo9rj9w]

Nice demo thank you for sharing. I will try it with my magmod 2 sphere and grid with TWO 200WS Geekoto GT200

[@Jwitherow1964]

Smooth bro

[@yahshawnel]

I love your work. Will you be at imagingt USA in Kentucky?

[@Darthbishop]

lmao @ the laziest photographer call out hahahaha! You know at my age I was feeling that energy of sitting on the chair the entire time hahaha

[@payamjirsa]

HAHAHA! I deserved that... and yet I will still sit whenever I can

[@DavidJames-sv9sm]

Thanks for the video. You have an easy to understand way of explanation and demonstration. The mag mod modifiers look interesting. Can you or someone explain the use of a grid with a diffuser a little more? Grid and diffuser seem contrary to one another; reflector to collimate the light, grid to reduce the divergence, then a dome to increase the spill. Like how the parts can stack. And good to see work with Profoto. Thanks

[@ClarenceChilanga-cs7dp]

It's the dance for me😂

[@payamjirsa]

I was a little disappointed that Kiara couldn't quite do it like me... but I guess we got an OK shot still...

[@IamKiaraZayas]

lol 😂

[@saucelove]

Luv your videos! TY. I’d like to try the XL on my Godox AD200 pro & AD100 pro. Think it will fit?

[@leroytademy]

Great work sir. Quick question 🙋🏿‍♂️ does the sphere defuse and redirect the light and soften it? I’m curious to know this I currently do not own the mag sphere small or xl, but I do have the 42 octa that I will try to test with. Thanks.

[@andrewelder2739]

Love this! Getting excited to bring XL into my studio! One ask; when you show the edited images, you used to show which VFLO pack you used. Which was used here? Mood? Pure?

[@payamjirsa]

Good eye my friend, it was Pure!

[@loihpatli]

Thanks for the video, Pye. Would you use this magmod diffuser instead of softbox?

[@payamjirsa]

I love both! Just depends on the look and goal of the shoot. Also portability plays a big factor for me. I tend to lean toward gear that's smaller and more portable.

[@jerrym8140]

Beautiful images! Pye, have you compared say the 24” bag box to the new MagMod XL kit? In my brief testing using a 25” glow white interior beauty dish VSP the new XL with the wider spread grid, the results are very similar especially when the light modifiers are say 6-8ft away from the subject. However, haven’t noticed much of a difference so far between zooming the zoom reflector in or out at that same range. I would think we should get a bit more punch zooming it out since the light is more focused? Have you been able to test this? In all I’m loving the new XL for sure.

[@payamjirsa]

Thank you! I haven't done that exact comparison, but in general, once you get them around 6-8 feet in distance, they're going to become quite similar. But perhaps the MagMod team can weigh in here.

[@jerrym8140]

@@payamjirsa That’s what I figured as well, I was doing that comparison as I usually shoot alone so was comparing using that scenario where the light is out of frame. I will do some test with lights closer as well. I will say, being alone usually and on even slightly breezy days it’s nice not having to really worry about a soft box blowing over. One of my test days was in a breeze and the soft box would wiggle a bit had a weight on it, but didn’t notice that happening with the MagModXL

[@mikel5094]

Hi Pye love the video. Now using the the magmod kit. Would you say this is a budget friendly system that can easily create some of the same lighting effects as the Roto lights ?

[@payamjirsa]

I don't use Roto lights much. I know what they do, but honestly I feel like these are going to get you much more versatility. Constant lights are nice, but there's a big trade when it comes to power and light quality.

[@mikel5094]

@@payamjirsa I appreciate your input. Thank you

[@Misterdavidc]

Will these work with constant video lights?

[@craiglewis5313]

I need to know how to do product photography with my MagMod. Help please!

[@KennethDillard]

Any chance we could see this in action during a couples session at a wedding?

[@MagnetMod]

Noted! Thanks for the feedback :)

[@manuelmoralessanchez7685]

Goot

[@venkatr1067]

I haven't watched the video yet, but can Pye suggest some cheaper options, given that Magmod products are very expensive?

[@MagnetMod]

Maybe consider checking out our open box sales - which we usually do once or twice a year where we sell products at discounts that are in excellent condition often with damaged boxes, but nothing wrong with the modifiers themselves. I heard we might have one coming up soon so be on the lookout for that.

[@Zetaphotography]

Disappointed that there is no Professional comparability with High quality gear like Elinchrom.
