Really fantastic, educational, and inspiring video Tommy! Amazing images and brilliant lighting setups. What I really loved about the video was that you focus on a tool, combined with a clear explanation of technique, which is what we need more of in photography videos rather than just discussions of gear divorced from actual photography. And: cool to see you used the boxes for the doorway effect! The gobo is definitely easier (and less of a 🔥 hazard). Now I want one of these more than ever!

Richard and Tommy, what are your thought about pixapro versus magbeam system? I haven't tried any of them so I would your comments :-)

@rickjbradbury 4 жыл бұрын

@@kbqvist I don't have any experience with the optical snoot myself but it should offer more control than the mag mod mag beam. Where the mag beam/mag mode wins is portability for location work, mine lives in the lighting bag along with my Pixapro Pika 200's and 360 light. You can do a fair bit with the mag beam but the optical offers far more in terms of precision light control. If you grab mag mod gear use some silicon sealant to keep the magnets in place in the grips and modifiers other wise they take a real big liking to each other and don't like being separated..

I own this product, there is 2 big problem on it : - first one the system to fix gobo is a big shit it's really hard to fix gobo and to turn them - second part if you will use it with led light, temperature will increase a lot. One of our light switch off because temperature increase to much on it due to this optical snoot. Excepted this point this is good product

how much light does this snoot eat up? i have been using another one and at full power on my strobe i still need to be high on my iso and my settings are 160/F4 but, iso at over 600 or is this normal for this type of light shaping tools?? thanks in advance

Great video Tommy, thanks. If I understood correctly, the optical snoot has to be set between the speedlite and the prime lens, right? What about softboxes, isn't it possible to add up some of them? Or their use would be a nonsense? And lastly: does it fit all lenses (Nikon, Canon, etc.)?

This is a very useful light shaping tool to keep handy, but this is a bit pricey for what it is. It does produce very good effects though. Magmod is over rated especially for the ridiculous price they charge
