MagBox 24” Octa Starter Kit: magmod.co/1xgke
MagSphere: magmod.co/eHA6i
Two of the most popular MagMod modifiers are the MagBox and MagSphere. The question often pops up regarding the difference between each. So while on a shoot with our model Mary, Trevor Dayley decided to take a few shots with each modifier in the exact same position so we can see the difference between them both.

What MagMod modifier is your favorite? The MagBox or the MagSphere?

@GermanViking 5 лет назад

I think both have their own league. It would be nice if you can do more videos like this one (studio environment) using also the "MagMask"

@RayValdezPhotography 5 лет назад

The magbounce. Whoever controls your IG seen me used it a couple of times. I like the sphere but lately i been in places with high or no ceilings or weird color walls.

@one4allall4one91 5 лет назад

Been using the magsphere more often. The ease of use is phenomenal. I use it on outdoor portraits. I also have the grid.

@michael198111 5 лет назад

It depends on the situation. Both are great but prefer the MagBox!

@KeepBelieving24 4 года назад

Nice video. Do you use hete flash with widest zoom here ?!! Did yiu used grid here? And one more question i have gels from magmod and have difusor gel,do you used it sometimes with grid for softer light? Tnx, your videos is very good

@darryllafferty8730 5 лет назад

Neither of those were Rembrandt Lighting. They were both split lighting. Rembrandt Lighting must come from above and the shadow must touch the lip.

Great tutorial Trevor. I would be interested in seeing tutorials on the Mag beam. For example when and how would you use it both in studio and on location. Thanks.

@JeffCable 5 лет назад

This is a great explanation and example of the differences of the diffusers and light placement. Well done!

@waynedowney1555 5 лет назад

Could you please show how I should use my magsphere in a wedding environment. Especially off camera for a dance floor.... Cheers

I'd love to give the Magbox a try, but it's just so expensive.

Great content! Thanks! How about more on the snoot and the magbeam? Hard to find a lot out there for those two products. Love Magmod!

@phelix920 5 лет назад

I’m loving your work and tutorials. Thank you so much. 👍🏾

@annieglendinning9827 4 года назад

I would love to see longer tutorials on how to use/compare/set up the Magmod products. But for beginners like me, and for outside, not inside. Simple, for beginners please? thx

@MagnetMod 4 года назад

Thank you Annie for the comment and suggestion. We will try to do more beginner style videos.

@marcoponce85 5 лет назад

Really helpful. Thanks! I like the softer touch o the magbox.

@dayleyhighlights 5 лет назад

Thanks Marco for watching the video! The MagBox does create some beautiful diffused light.

@papsny 3 года назад

I have both and in terms of usability, the magsphere is more practical. I find myself using rapidbox or glow-ez softboxes since they are more compact. I love the magbox but it is just too bulky to carry or pack for a destination shoot. I can fit 3 stands, 3 softboxes and a few accessories in the same space that the magbox occupies. I wish the magbox case had wheels or an adjustable strap or more handles. 2 cents

@cottojn 5 лет назад

Ok I believe that if you use a magsphere and a reflector you would get the same soft shadow as Trevor did using the magbox. Of course you would have to work around with the reflector moving it towards and afar from the model or subject.

@MagnetMod 5 лет назад

+J. C. Yeah for sure. It would make it a large light source and get you those results. Just a little harder to do when working solo or outside. Thanks for watching the video.

@vimboguillermo2801 4 года назад

1:53 it seems that the light pattern is mostly Split Lighting rather than Rembrandt Lighting

@phototravelertroy 5 лет назад

Great comparison reivew!

@briancounts8334 4 года назад

@RayValdezPhotography 5 лет назад

Can you make the mag box A1 compatible already bro.

@thebtm 5 лет назад

How about MagBox and MagSphere together instead of vs? How could you use them as a pair in a photo shoot?

@cottojn 5 лет назад

Brad M he did say shoot some comments on what we would like to see done... but many youtubers say that and never come through

good video … I have the mag bounce... do the distances and set-ups apply the same as mag sphere?? I hope to get to use it a lot this summer..

@dayleyhighlights 5 лет назад

Hey Mark great question. It would be similar to the MagSphere. It's a great modifier. Here's a video that talks more about the MagSphere and MagBounce and where and when I like to use each. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-bgUnxz9T924.html Hope it helps!

@ZombieRofl 4 года назад

How did you guys get the kinda purple color in the photo's ? :)

@MagnetMod 4 года назад

Right at the beginning of the video you'll notice a speedlite on a stand to Trevor's right (camera left.) Attached to this speedlite is a purple creative gel and a MagGrid to put some color on the grey backdrop!

@john100073 4 года назад

Your c-stand grip head floating around at the bottom of the boom arm doing nothing, attach a baby pin make it simpler for yourself. Purchased MagMod MagBeam its great, use it for wildlife on these dull grey days.

@draughonc 5 лет назад

Is that just a white backdrop on the floor?

@theraven871 5 лет назад

Compare the snoot vs the grid. :)

@Jmgantphotography 5 лет назад

I'd love to see the same comparison between the two products, but with the stand farther from the subject. It seems that lots of bts in the community are showing the box being used 5-8' away. Are there any benefits to using the MagBox over the sphere, when that far from the subject?

@dayleyhighlights 5 лет назад

Great suggestion Jared. It would be interesting to see at what point do the lights start to look similar.

@curtiswrigley 5 лет назад

The further away, the harsher the light will be (as the light source gets smaller father away). They are both small light sources, so best used quite close if you want soft light

@8020Alive 5 лет назад

Curt is right. No point taking a source so small away. You need to learn about lighting more. He explains it here 5:50

@paulvasquez3579 3 года назад

nice video, could you use a magbox on a group of 5 people in the photo?

@careylee5951 2 года назад

Wouldn't you just dial down the power of the flash? Within the softbox you will have more light fall off compared to the distance of the Sphere.

@GRIANMEDIA 5 лет назад

@shuhaibmuhammed856 4 года назад

what the stand used for the lights?

Shuhaib, Trevor was using a couple different stands for the lights in this video. The black stands are Manfrotto 1004BAC, and the Silver stands are C-Stands with Boom arms by Impact!

Just two small things 🙂 1.Why she dont smile? She is very pretty 2.When you use gel on second flash and made that really good efect why you dont say just few words about that. Btw all your videos are great 🙂
