Yeah but pros buy it because the system saves time. Efficiency is everything on a wedding shoot ect

Photography is a cheap business to start, expensive hobby to have

Price is geared to pros, not hobbyist

@@BoodskiBro right on!

Your not just paying for "a bit of rubber", jeez why do so many people make these sweeping statements... Your paying for the R&D that it took to come up with this, the tooling, the advertising to ensure you can actually find out about it, for somebody to keep a check on quality control to ensure duff products don't go out and the service behind it that will be there if you need them, and ensures they have funds to make more products you will love. There is SO much more to to a fab product than just the cost of the materials, yet so few people understand this, OR, they claim to understand it yet still moan about it (Proving they don't understand it) The price is simply a reflection (See what I did there?) of the work that has gone into it and what it takes to get it to people all over the world, and have money to make more awesome products.

Thanks Glauco.

Hi Murvlaous, actually HSS is something I probably need to use more of, but I often don't, just because of the strain it puts on the flashes. To get the scene dark I'm usually just lowering my ISO, and raising my aperture until I am underexposed.

But the iso and aperture also decrease the flash power. You should raise the shutter speed for ambient light decrease.

Hi Mike, I only do educational content for MagMod. If you shoot an email to support@magnetmod.com they will be able to answer that for you. Enjoy!

Hi MrCuerv010 - thanks so much for the kind comment! Great question. If you underexpose your scene in the camera it can still focus because it's picking up the ambient light to focus. However, I have found myself in situations when the ambient was very low - almost pitch black, and in those situations, it is of course very tough to grab focus. A couple tips that will help: 1) Make sure you are shooting on One Shot (Canon) or Single Servo (Nikon) when it's dark outside. This setting on the camera will trigger your flash to use the red focus assist lights that will shine on your subject and help your camera to focus. 2) Keep a small flash light (pen light) in your bag. You can use these to shine on your subject when it's extra dark to grab focus. The other option is to use a cell phone flash light. At times, if I am very far from my subject, I will have them shine the light on themselves, grab focus (then switch to manual focus on the lens so it doesn't shift / or use back button focus), and then have them put the light away in their pocket. Hope those tips help!

Trevor Dayley awesome, thanks for the reply. Im on the Sony mirrorless system but I'm sure I can figure out your tips on their system. I'll keep the flashlight tip in mind for sure! Thanks again.

Unfortunately, I don't remember Vince and I usually don't change that. It has never seemed to make a huge difference for me since the Grid and Snoot are sculpting the light soon as it exits.

@@dayleyhighlights Doesn't have the Zoom function of the flash the same function than the grid, let's say changing from 24mm to 105mm? Have you done a comparison?
