Double Your Light with Simply A Reflector

No matter what kind of light you use- Godox, Flashpoint, Profoto or a video LED light, the light output can as much as be doubled depending on the type of reflector used. OR it can hurt the light output, as in the case of the newer Godox AD300, AD400, AD600 flash strobes. If you use a Bowens mount light, like a Godox AD600, or Flashpoint Xplor 600, or AD3o00 or AD400, or XPLOR 400, here are some examples of reflectors that can make a difference.

Today i learned the difference between the output of faceted interiors versus pebbled interiors. Markus continues to be one of the most valuable photography resources on my subscription list. I'm really looking forward to Tuesday's video!!

@aristotle_4532 10 месяцев назад

The real difference is the shadow quality. In faceted reflectors it is unacceptable for most uses. The Godox one also has a serious hotspot problem.

@RonK Год назад

one of my favorite reflectors with Bowens mount is the Jinbei Magnum 35cm (13.8 in), costs almost nothing (about $30 where I live) and works like a charm. I use it as a very low cost alternative to the super expensive profoto magnum. The Jinbei is pretty bright, but due to its bigger size less harsh than a standard reflector

Mr Markus, your tips and information constantly remind me that I can still learn new ways of getting the same if not more out of the alternative ideas such as the ones you offer. Part of the reason I keep returning to your channel.. to learn even more!

@greggeis918 Год назад

I always assumed the polished straight reflectors were the strongest light output (hadn’t seen the rounded one you just showed). I was surprised I got significantly more output than that using an open softbox. I was really surprised so I tried it with a couple different sizes, 28”, 36”, 42”. They were all about 1/3 stop brighter than the reflector. So if you have the softbox with you anyway and need max power/efficiency, it’s worth trying it out ahead of time. I’m sure there are different focus areas but I was testing around 5-10’ where I would usually shoot. Your testing inspired me to figure it out on my gear. Much easier to pair the right accessories than to pay/carry for raw output.

Thanks Markus! Very useful stuff, educated me about these light reflectors. Looking forward to your next release that you have been preparing for some time 😃

@HR-wd6cw Год назад

The OEM reflector is nice if you want to leave the bulb installed in the light when transporting it (especially if you're only using Godox/Flashpoint lighting gear which uses their proprietary mounting system in most cases). This lets you attach the cover with the reflector and remove it quickly. But beyond that, you'd be better off installing the Bowens adapter and removing the bulb (but I don't think you have a way of covering and protecting the contacts on the light face, but if you remove the battery, the risk of shorting for example, is not an issue).

@MarkusPix Год назад

I've never removed the bulbs when traveling in all my years. I just leave the reflector on with the diffusion plastic over the end

Hi Markus, I got the Leftfoto reflector the other day and mounted it on my AD200 to day. I took several photos comparing it to the Godox 4.7" Standard Reflector. It's the same power. The Leftfoto may have a wider throw, however.

@MarkusPix 9 месяцев назад

The leftfoto doubles the light of an AD600. Not the same when using a 200 in an S-bracket.

@NewarkSteve 9 месяцев назад

@@MarkusPix I’m not using an S-bracket. I feel the same way as you do about them. I took the bottom off the AD-S17 and glued it to the bottom of the reflector. It does make the AD200 bigger, but not necessarily heavier.

@MarkusPix 9 месяцев назад

Either way, the huge Leftfoto was made for a big 600. Nothing beats the little 4.7" for a 200

@NewarkSteve 9 месяцев назад

Hi Markus, It gives excellent results. It is easy to use. It's economical. In short, it is a real triple threat. The Leftfoto gives ever so little more softness. But it is kind of clunky to use and for the price of one of those, you can get three of the AD-S2 units.

@NewarkSteve 4 дня назад

@@MarkusPix Hi Markus, After much experimentation, I totally agree with you. Nothing beats the little 4.7"...

@The_Mano Год назад

That is correct. The grid is more for the standard reflector. You could always tape it on I guess. It would still work. I've done stuff like that many times. 😄

I would love for these reflectors to be collapsible somehow. I have AD200s and I love the AD-S2 reflectors, and even though they're pretty small, they don't always fit inside my bag whenever I'm trying to trim down and bring only the essentials. But I guess you can't have your cake and eat it too :)

@marcinmrzyglocki Год назад

What about AD-M? Do you miss the ability to use grids or is that something else?

@DigitalSketcher Год назад

@@marcinmrzyglocki Is this just a bit more shallow than the AD-S2? It looks very similar to what I use. And they do have grids for the AD-S2, I use them often.

@marcinmrzyglocki Год назад

@@DigitalSketcher not "a bit", but entire AD-M can be hidden inside AD-S2 with a room allowing for slight mobility. Markus seems to be negative about them, but they exist for a reason, I hope.

Best reflector for Ad400pro for the best output? Pure raw power.

@MarkusPix Месяц назад

Unfortunately the 400 has that stupid flat frosted bulb and the mini bowens mount. For that size, weight and price, you get a lot more from a 600BM I returned my 400. Here's a comparison ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-o8bdbLW2gAs.html

@marcinmrzyglocki Год назад

I wonder why in none of the videos about AD200 was the AD-M mentioned. While it is smaller and flatter than AD-S2, it's compactness might still make it a viable option when going for an extremely undersized setup. Is there something about it I'm not aware of?

@MarkusPix Год назад

Because it's so flat, the bulb is basically touching the diffusion screen creating a hot spot. As open reflectors go, the longer they are, the more the light output. Shallow ones have less output
