MagMod Product CompatibilityUpdated a month ago

Our MagMod System consists of 3 main groups of product:

We know it’s hard to believe that a system can be universal...

But with MagMod it’s true!

The MagMod modifier system works so well because of the universal design of the MagGrip 2. The MagGrip 2 is a patented design made of high-quality silicone rubber which makes it easy to stretch and fit onto almost any hot-shoe flash.

There’s only one MagGrip 2 design, so you don’t have to worry about figuring out different sizes for different flashes. We are confident that the MagGrip 2 will work with most flashes that have a rectangular flash head, with many round head flashes, and with those that are close in shape, and size to these verified flashes as well.

The MagBox Pro is the most versatile softbox ever, making it one super smart investment. Use the MagBox Pro with 1 or 2 speedlights—almost every flash that has our patented MagGrip 2 installed will work. Or use one of our Speedring adapters to mount your Profoto, Bowens, Elinchrom, or Paul C. Buff strobe.

In addition, one of the major goals in releasing our XL line is to make our modifiers more accessible to folks that use monolights, studio strobes, and even some video lights.  So naturally one of the first questions that might come to mind is, 'Will this be compatible with my light?'  

While we haven't tested every light under the sun (pun!), the below are the makes and models of dozens that we know are compatible.  You can step through to view what products you'll need with different flashes, or select your light brand to jump directly to its page.  

You can also view this chart full screen HERE.

* The Canon EL-1 Is fully compatible with all but the Pro Creative Gels, Pro Correction Gels and Pro Artistic Gels modifiers. Because of the large size of the EL-1 flash head and the rigid nature of the Pro Gels, both sides do not connect.

**The Nikon SB-900 has a small button on the underside of the flash head used to tell the flash when you have mounted the included Nikon diffuser. This forces and restricts the flash to zoom to 14mm, it's widest setting.  Sometimes with the MagGrip 2 installed, the button will be depressed, and you will not be able to change the zoom on your flash.  Nikon apparently realized this flaw and improved it on the SB-910.  If you shoot with a SB-900, you can try adding a washer or some layers of tape to prevent this button from being depressed.

*** Lights with tungsten modeling lights are not compatible with Dome Gels when the modeling light is installed. But they'll work great with just the flash tube. 

˟ While the AD200 Pro II is compatible with the MagGrip 2, please be aware that covering the flash's circular vent (which houses its fan) could lead to overheating during extended use at full power. To avoid this, position the MagGrip 2 slightly forward to keep the vent exposed, ensuring proper fan function.

Due to the high heat they can output, it is NOT advised to use video lights with our Reflector XL, XL modifiers, or Dome Gels. Use is at your own risk.
