Softboxes and other modifiers

May 16, 2022 • Michael Mowbray • Season 1 • Episode 17

Here’s a question: how many softboxes and other modifiers do you own? Here’s the follow-up question: can you ever have enough modifiers? Personally, I have dozens. Small softboxes. Large softboxes. Beauty dishes. Long-throw reflectors. Umbrellas. Grids and snoots. And on and on. Of course, you would expect that because I am kind of a lighting guy. But why have so many? That’s what we’re going to explore today. What are the differences between the various modifiers? And do you really need that many different kinds?

In Godox and MoLight news, Godox just announced the new R200 ring flash accessory for the AD200/AD200Pro flashes. The R200 ring flash will attach to your camera and will connect to the main body of the AD200 via a connection cord. Look for these to be in stock at MoLight in June.
