The MagMod Starter Flash Kit is your go-to for stepping up your flash game. It packs the essentials: the MagGrip, the MagSphere, and the MagGrid. Whether you're just dipping your toes into photography or you're already in the deep end, this kit is about making good light easy.
The magnetic design means you can switch between modifiers on the fly—no clips, no straps, just a quick snap and you're ready to go. It's perfect for photographers who need to adapt quickly without missing a beat.
From the controlled studio environment to the unpredictable outdoors, the MagMod Starter Flash Kit is all about letting you focus on the shot, not the setup.
At the heart of the MagMod system is the MagGrip, a game-changer in the world of flash photography. It's a durable silicon band with two super strong neodymium magnets embedded inside it.
Its innovative design replaces cumbersome flash attachment methods with a sleek, magnetic solution. The MagGrip wraps snugly around almost any flash head, creating a secure base for any MagMod modifier to snap onto magnetically.
With the MagGrip on your flash, your world of creative light control is about to open up!
HOW TO INSTALL THE MAGGRIP
Once the MagGrip is fitted onto your flash, feel free to keep it there permanently. Its design ensures it maintains its shape and elasticity over time.
While the initial installation might seem challenging, rest assured, it's more straightforward than it appears.
To help you out, we've put together a quick video tutorial where Tina demonstrates the easiest way to secure the MagGrip onto your flash.
Having the MagGrip attached to your flash unlocks a world of creative potential. It's the sort of indispensable tool that, once incorporated into your workflow, will make you question how you ever got by without it.
This innovative diffuser, the MagSphere, transforms harsh flash output into a soft, omnidirectional light source, perfect for various photographic needs. Made from durable, translucent silicone, it effortlessly snaps onto any flash equipped with the MagGrip.
The MagSphere is designed to instantly transform the harsh light of your flash into a soft, omnidirectional, bare-bulb light source while increasing the size of your light-emitting surface by over 250% for a softer glow over a bigger area.
SUPER VERSATILE
The MagSphere is incredibly versatile, making it a go-to modifier for numerous photography scenarios:
Wedding Days: From the getting ready shots to the sunset portraits to the dimly lit ambiance of wedding receptions, the MagSphere can illuminate the scene without overpowering it, capturing the mood and emotion of the moment without the harshness of direct flash.
Event Photography: Whether it's a bustling corporate event or a lively birthday party, the MagSphere helps photographers capture the energy and details of the event without sacrificing the quality of light.
Macro/Product Photography: Even in the close-up world of macro photography, the MagSphere proves its worth by providing a soft, diffused light that brings out the intricate details of small subjects without overwhelming them with harsh shadows. Wedding rings rejoice!
The possibilities are endless. From the controlled environment of a studio to the unpredictability of on-location shoots, the MagSphere is an invaluable tool for photographers aiming to craft light creatively and efficiently.
WHAT DOES THE MAGSPHERE DO?
The MagSphere's superpower lies in taming that stark Speedlight flash, turning it into a kinder, gentler glow that makes everyone look their best. It's a total game-changer for portrait shots, where you're aiming to light up your subject in the most natural and flattering way imaginable.
By spreading light evenly across a scene, the MagSphere helps to highlight the subject's best features while minimizing imperfections. You will also notice a much softer light fall off, making the light from your flash less distracting and putting more focus on your subjects.
The MagSphere's omnidirectional design can be a lifesaver in environments with less-than-ideal lighting conditions. It ensures that light is spread evenly, reducing the contrast between highlights and shadows and making capturing high-quality images in various settings easier.
From the controlled environment of a studio to the unpredictability of on-location shoots (on-camera flash or off-camera flash), the MagSphere is an invaluable tool for photographers aiming to craft light creatively and efficiently.
The cherry on top? You can squish the MagSphere into your pocket or shove it into that mysterious abyss at the bottom of your photo bag, and it’ll bounce back every time, unscathed. It's practically indestructible!
Have you ever struggled with a flash that scatters light across your scene, diluting the impact of your shot? Imagine if you could harness that light, focusing it precisely where you desire, guiding your viewer's attention exactly where you want it.
That's the magic of the MagGrid. Its clever design—a grid of tightly arranged cells—focuses your flash's beam, giving you unparalleled control over where your light goes (and where it doesn't).
It's all about precision, cutting down the scatter, and ensuring your light only hits the mark you want. In fact, the MagGrids are stackable and each time you stack an additional MagGrid your light gets more and more narrow. So if you need even more control, just grab an additional MagGrid and toss it on!
BENEFITS OF CONTROLLED LIGHT
Controlled light is about creation. Any good photographer knows it's not just about adding light but subtracting it from a scene. With the MagGrid, photographers can sculpt light, chiseling details and depth in their images. Here’s what this precision tool brings to the table:
Focus Your Flash: Say goodbye to an unwanted light spill. The MagGrid keeps your light on a tight leash, illuminating only your intended subject.
Dramatic Effects: By focusing your light, you can play with shadows and highlights, adding drama and dimension to your shots that flat lighting can't achieve.
Mood Setting: Controlled light means you can steer the mood of your photographs. Want to spotlight a subject against a darker background? The MagGrid is your go-to.
Whether you’re creating a mood, highlighting a feature, or just keeping your light from wandering off, it’s an essential tool in your photography kit that ensures your light is focused on what you believe is most important.
Using the MagSphere and MagGrid together is akin to having your cake and eating it, too, with none of the guilt. Pairing the MagSphere with the MagGrid might seem counterproductive. After all, one diffuses light everywhere, and the other keeps it on a tight leash. It's like telling a cat to sit; you wouldn't expect it to work.
But, in a twist that could only make sense in the wonderful world of photography, this combination is like Batman and Robin for your flash: individually strong, but together, they're unbeatable.
The combo of the MagSphere and MagGrid focuses the light right where you want it while ensuring the transition from light to shadow is smooth and natural. It's like spotlighting your subject perfectly while giving the surrounding area a gentle fade-out. This blend makes sure your subject stands out, with a background that doesn't compete but complements. It’s straightforward yet brilliant, making your photos pop with just the right balance of attention and ambiance.
In essence, mastering the art of the MagSphere and MagGrid is like unlocking a new level in photography, where the light bends to your creative will, and the results speak volumes. Whether you aim to capture a moment, tell a story, or dazzle with your skills, this dynamic duo ensures your photography stands out.
