MagGrip 2 by MagMod | - Review

Are you tired of bulky, noisy, and velcro-ridden light diffusers? You're in luck because MagMod has now introduced the MagGrip 2, a magnetic flash diffuser attachment that promises to revolutionize the way you use light modifiers for photography. This patented magnetic modular design is a flexible silicone band that stretches over your flash and stays put no matter what you do. In this product review, we'll take a closer look at the MagGrip 2 and find out if it's really worth the hype.

Design

MagMod’s MagGrip 2 is an upgrade to the original MagGrip flash modifier that won an award. The updated version comes with the same patented magnetic modular design, which allows you to add as many MagMod modifiers on the MagGrip as you want. The most significant change is that the MagGrip 2 is smaller, lighter, and more secure. It's flexible, silicone band stretches over any hotshoe flash and stays put no matter what you do. The new design is also optimized for round-head flashes and can be used with a variety of mixed flash sizes and brands.

Performance

One of the most important things you want from any flash diffuser is that it delivers excellent results in your photographs. The MagGrip 2 does not disappoint. The diffuser works well to soften the harsh light from your flash, making it gentler on your subjects, creating an elegant and natural-looking image. Whether you are a professional or a hobbyist, the MagGrip 2's performance is perfect for any level of usage.

Compatibility

MagGrip 2 is compatible with almost all standard flashes, including many Canon, Godox, Profoto, Sony, Nikon, Olympus, and Yongnuo flashes, thanks to its adjustable design with maximum versatility. The magnetic softbox adapter was explicitly designed to work seamlessly with the MagBox system in conjunction with a softbox, which adds a level of convenience that is unparalleled.

Durability

The MagGrip 2's silicone construction feels sturdy in your hands, and it's highly stretchable to fit firmly on your flash. It also promises to retain 99% of its elasticity over time - even after long, repeated use according to the brand. MagMod promises that the MagGrip 2 is durable enough to take a beating. The silicone band is so flexible you can slam it on the floor, shove it deep within your bag, or even run it over with your vehicle.

Price

The MagGrip 2 is an investment. It's pricier than the original MagGrip flash modifier. However, the MagGrip 2's price is justified as it has several upgrades and improvements to provide more convenience and better user experience. The MagGrip 2 is not the cheapest flash modifier on the market, but it is worth the price when considering its performance and durability.

Final Verdict

Overall, the MagMod MagGrip 2 is a premium-quality flash diffuser attachment that offers excellent performance and versatility, which is expected for its price tag. Its patented magnetic modular design, compatibility with almost all standard flashes, and durability make it a worthwhile investment for any level of photographer. Though you may not use it every day, the MagGrip 2 is perfect for professionals, and hobbyists alike, who demand top-notch results from their equipment. If you're tired of Velcro-ridden light diffusers and want a more convenient and faster experience in attaching light modifiers to your flash, then the MagGrip 2 is an excellent option.
