I'm a user of the original MagBeam flash modifier and have used it to produce some incredible images. When I decided to equip a backup Nikon Speedlight with the new MagGrip 2 in order to use a MagBeam on it, I initially encountered some issues. I could not get the MagBeam to firmly attach to the MagGrip 2. Initially, I posted a poor review of the MagGrip 2 and e-mailed the customer service folks about the issue I was having. A customer service representative immediately contacted me about the problem and suggested that I return the MagGrip 2. While in the process of removing the MagGrip 2 from my speedlight, I realized that the magnets are rectangular and could have shifted position. When I checked the position of the magnets, both were out of the correct position. Repositioning the magnets into the proper position resolved my issue. The MagGrip 2 now works with my older style MagBeam. MagMod products work great. It's also really nice to work with a company that provides exceptional customer service. Thanks Amy!

Being new into my professional career, every new MagMod product levels me up. This Octa has everything you already love about SoftBoxes, but is 10x easier, faster, more practical than anything else out there. You can so easily take this softbox out on location and not make your clients wait on you setting it up. Which is exactly what happened in the image below to create my first decent dramatic image using the softbox for the first time on location (which for me is a huge step in my professional career).

Even if you're just a hobbyist or a established professional, this softbox will easily last you decades and will find a way into your workflow (especially if you own the ANY of the MagMod system). Compared to other softboxes, this one is both, as the street kids say, "built different", and also quite literally "built different".

I never realized two tiny magnets could be so strong until my first shoot using the MagGrip, a color gel, and the MagSphere. During my shoot at an arcade, I tripped and fell and shattered my wrist, but the MagMod was stronger than my own bones and the MagSphere and gel never came off my flash. I was impressed lol but also, they provided lovely lighting for my session and I’m excited to continue using them!
