After the success of their original MagBox, MagMod has been hard at work trying to figure out what additional softboxes and modifiers portrait and wedding photographers are in search of. Their new lineup introduces products that they’ve been fine-tuning for years and is finally ready for the public eye. The most exciting thing about this announcement is how apparent it is that MagMod listens to its audience when creating these products.
The original MagBox was the perfect beginner softbox, 24″ in diameter and portable for travel and on-the-go shooting. Today, they launch their 5th Kickstarter campaign to announce their new MagBox Pro lineup:
- MagBox Pro 42 Octa
- MagBox Pro 36 Stripbox
- MagBox Pro 24 Octa
- MagBox Pro Grid
- MagShoe 2
- MagBox Large Case
Each product is meant to integrate seamlessly into their magnetic ecosystem and with products you already own. Both softboxes are intentional and feature-packed – scroll down to read all about them!
