3 New Godox Diffusers ML-CD15 ML-CS1625 AK-R22 

I returned the magsphere. This is 10c better. I tried wrapping the sphere around my V1 and it can be done but it was extremely tight. This is very nice on my 860iii. The flash and the cd15 together is a little heavy but the images look beautiful.

For Seniors, I'd take a look at what Magmod users tend to do. Prior to the release of the Magbox, many of them would use a small diffuser (the magsphere) on an off-camera key light, but then fill it in with an on-camera light. The small off camera light source will create hard shadows, however by filling the shadows in, the light pattern is not very dramatic. Alternatively, they would use a diffuser just out of frame, to get the softest light possible out of a tiny modifier. Some would go as far as to keep it in frame, then snap a second shot with the light pulled out to easily composite the light out in post production. Neither of these are my favorite, personally I'd rather just use a larger modifier in that scenario, which is why I tend to use compact diffusers most for bounce-fill indoors.

@@robhallphoto ok got it! Thanks so much

Hey Trev. I have used it and you just get a more "full" bounce. The V1 + frosted dome sends most of the light up (upwards if your flash is pointed at the ceiling), whereas this one will send more light forward/down.

@@robhallphoto sounds good, cheers.

Not a flash meter. Its a Sekonic C-800 Color Temperature Meter

highly unlikely since the AD300 Pro doesn't have an encased flash tube. Would require clean gloves every time you wanted to assemble it.

Honestly this question is lost on me because I wouldn't ever use my bag to define the gear I choose to carry. The images I want or am paid to create determine the lighting I carry, then the lighting determines the bag necessary. If that's a restriction you have to impose on yourself then you'd have to determine the gear that closest meets YOUR goals while fitting in the bag. And in that case, my preferences are irrelevant.

I think the ML-CD15 makes the most sense.

@@robhallphoto Thank you 🙏

Yes I have

Not exactly sure if this is what you need, but check out the Godox AK-R1 Accessory kit .

@@VEGAFLICKS akr1 is for godox v1 or round head for ad200. I ended up using the old magmod gel holder without the gel and LEE otc sheet under it. The hardest part is getting the magmod base magnet on. Also, I realized I'm the only one who uses gel for corrections. I still prefer using gels. The struggle is worth it. Haha.

@@robhallphoto The link you provided is for the extention flash head. I was asking for the ring ring adapter that you showed in the video. The base i can use to adapt the ML-CD15 to the AD200. Thank you.

@@camphoto oh, no I don't know of a listing for that separately, just as a piece included with the MLCD-15

@@robhallphoto Thank you for taking the time to reply. I appreciate and enjoy your channel. You do a great job.

Looking at the diameter I assume it’s not. Bowens Mount is a lot bigger than the Godox..

No bowens mount, the opening is much smaller than Bowens.

Godox mount is the same as a Bowens mount.

@@BeecherBandits unfortunately that is not the case with anything below the ad400 pro. The ad300 is their own mount but the modifier seems to come with several adapter mounts

You got any info on this?

no.

@@robhallphoto so it’s not a Bowen’s mount?

@@peterb.8875 no.

I am going to try out my new ML-CS1625. Will be photographing rabbits at a rabbit show. Close ups will be nice with a larger diffusion surface. Glad to hear it will work for events too. But camera, flash, and diffuser is so bulky and heavy. It attracts so much attention as a photographer. Do you extend the box or leave it flatten?

I feel that the easiest resolution would have been to make corrected fresnel glass for each available to purchase. Then the AK-R22 could be the same material as ML-CD15!
