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 жыл бұрын

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"

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 жыл бұрын

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 жыл бұрын

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

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

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. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mM2FodurnrqdYmg.html Hope it helps!

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

@oliviafaith8589 3 жыл бұрын

What stands are those?

@cottojn 4 жыл бұрын

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 4 жыл бұрын

+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.

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!

@Jmgantphotography 5 жыл бұрын

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 жыл бұрын

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

@curtiswrigley 5 жыл бұрын

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 жыл бұрын

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

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.
