[@kennethnielsen3864]

Congratulations on the new space. Thanks for sharing.

I will take the congratulations on the money savings alone. Thank you very much.

I have been using the AD200 and 200 Pro for years, great little lights with a ton of options to expand on. Yet to get hands on this version but in no rush really. Was not a fan of that modifier myself when I tried it, borrowed from a friend.

[@kaskoPhoto]

Thanks for sharing. I’m not sure if the upgrade is 100% worth it but sometimes the little things matter to some.

[@dylanhill1640]

Wow! I like this setup and images. A+

[@kaskoPhoto]

Thanks! Glad you like it. Love these small modifiers

[@rmrpictures1]

I had done of these and put magnets on the deflector plate so it would be easy to put on and take off. I eventually got rid of it when I sold off all my AD200's. Nice for hand holding on quick portraits.

[@kaskoPhoto]

That’s a great idea, thank you for sharing.

A different space to work in, it will be interesting to see how much imagination you can pour into it!

[@kaskoPhoto]

It is definitely smaller and less storage space so I have my work cut out for me.

[@manilamartin1001]

I shoot with and without the plate. It mostly depends how far away the light is from the subject. I like it without the plate if I am mostly shooting full length. That is my favorite modifier.

[@kaskoPhoto]

Thank you for sharing. There is a minor difference but nothing to worry about if you loose the plate. Still works well

[@jasonbodden8816]

Looks like the AD-S7 softbox. I’ve been meaning to get one for a long time. I have a thing for small modifiers. I love large modifiers, too, for sure, but small modifiers are just so interesting to me!

[@kaskoPhoto]

It is definitely small and I have been really happy with it. Love it’s versatility

[@MartinV.]

Great Video!

[@kaskoPhoto]

Thanks for watching! Much appreciated!

[@ArminHirmer]

Almost did not want to watch it, as I have AD200 and this small softbox... but then I saw Bruna :D :D and yes the reflector plate is a pain to carry around as it does not fit anywhere :D

[@kaskoPhoto]

If that bag was just 2 inches wider.

[@ArminHirmer]

@@kaskoPhoto yeah, I tend to leave it at home hahaha, not that I would use it often though. Bruna with white hair is cute too

[@rcarder2093]

The first photo of the model with the blonde wig on at 6:57 is flippin awesome!! Could you please tell me what camera/lens setup you used? By the way congrats on the new money saving space!

[@kaskoPhoto]

Sony A7R V with the Sony 135 f/1.8 GM iso 50 1/250 f/1.8

[@munckmb]

Lovely shoot. Softer light then I would have expected from such a small diameter softbox. what lens were you using, the out of focus fall off is very nice.

[@kaskoPhoto]

I used the 50 and the 135

[@dbenedict357]

Ummm … I have been installing the deflector backwards.. 😅

[@kaskoPhoto]

It won’t make a huge difference I promise. I don’t think you’d be able to detect the difference

[@lattesweden]

Are you sure the plate should be mounted with the "bowl" inwards towards the bulb, I've seen people mount it with the bowl outwards away from the bulb?

[@kaskoPhoto]

This is the correct way to mount it.

[@jasonbodden8816]

The pattern of light doesn’t vary much whether the curve faces out or into the softbox. The difference is negligible but I usually have deflector plates the way he has it in the video.

[@lattesweden]

@@kaskoPhoto Ok, thanks!

[@dbenedict357]

I had the same question.. or rather statement that I have been installing the deflector backwards! 😂

[@roybixby6135]

Love the AD200 - but not a fan of small softboxes ... 🦘

[@kaskoPhoto]

Few are but I just love them.

[@manilamartin1001]

@@kaskoPhoto me too. I shot models my whole career with a small strip light till I fell in love with this soft box. The great Mizuno (senior Photographer from Playboy USA) shot with a Wescott small strip box most of his career. If it's good enough for him, I made sure I learned to do it as well.
