It does seem like the beauty dish would work better for outside portraits (on a windy day) compared to a soft box. A lot of times I will use the Magmod XL over a soft box due to wind.
Really excited to see this, Pye. I photograph dogs on location with an AD200 (with another AD200 if I need it). I have been using the Magmod Pro Octa 24". Two prominent dog photographers I love differ in their use of soft box and beauty dish respectively and I have always been curious about what the real differences are. I now know. And, I shall be looking for the Magmod beauty dish + sock + grid. Awesome video. Thank you 😊.
Gotta TOTALLY disagree about portability. The Beauty Dish is flatter, but SO much wider. A lot of photographers use roller cases (like from ThinkTank) which are long but not more than 16" or so wide. The MagBox Pro 24" fits great, but the dish will be a total non-starter. And carrying it around over my shoulder is equally so.
The fact you put a sock in front of a grid is just embarrassing and shows this channel is not serious about the understanding light. Very. disappointing. A GRID NARROWS THE BEAM OF LIGHT, A SOCK SPREADS IT. IT'S CONTRADICTORY.
I think your comment is disappointing. As someone new to ocf I greatly appreciate MagMod and Pye for showing those results and not just skipping over it. What’s the harm in doing so?

My dish is coming in on Friday! I am pumped!

Ok I’m sold. I’m getting the beauty dish
If I was interested in beauty dish, I would get the foldable due to storage. Great work on the video.
Glad you found the video helpful! The foldable option is pretty fantastic for storage and transport.
Does adding that sock cool the color temp?
I like the grid only
Pye is the man
This was great!!
How would this look using a speed lite like a Godox V860 iii?
Mag be getting all my money. Even if it’s just for the ease of use.
😂😂😂
