The beauty dish is fantastic! I love the quality of light that comes from it. I appreciate that it came with a case, grid, and diffuser also! It’s all super easy to use and it’s light weight to carry around. I used it at a wedding just before Christmas and I really like the results! The light cast was so nice during the reception! I was very pleased with being able to capture dynamic shadows and light while using it across a dance floor. It made the reception very interesting! The last time MagMod sent out a feedback form I actually suggested that they make a beauty dish (I’m sure I wasn’t the only one who suggested it). I’m glad they did because it’s a great addition to their product line!

As far as the construction goes, I noticed there was a bit of a weak spot in the welding where the flexible part meets the bowens mount. It’s not broken but it looks like overtime it could break more easily than if it had a better weld.

The gels are kind of difficult to attach to the dish. I don’t know if that’s because my gels are new, maybe they get more flexible overtime? The person in the video made it look so easy! I wish we could use magnets to attach them, I’m not sure how that effects strobes though…

The case is great! I find that I have to fidget with the gels to get them to fit correctly so I can close it. It’s a bit cumbersome but works. I wish there was a space just for the gels in the case though. The shoulder strap, zippers, and the buckle can be a little cumbersome…
