![5 WAYS TO USE A SINGLE LIGHT - [Lighting Tutorial]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/WLKOr9eH7NI/mqdefault.jpg)
this is the best video about optical snoot i have ever seen. thanks for so much.
Yours is the first video I've seen where the photos actually look good. So many people don't know what they're doing with this gear.
Excellent review with some fabulous portrait examples. 🙂👍
Great modifier and fantastic results. Thanks for sharing.
JONTY photography Thank you so much dude :) really enjoyed this one!
Really fantastic, educational, and inspiring video Tommy! Amazing images and brilliant lighting setups. What I really loved about the video was that you focus on a tool, combined with a clear explanation of technique, which is what we need more of in photography videos rather than just discussions of gear divorced from actual photography. And: cool to see you used the boxes for the doorway effect! The gobo is definitely easier (and less of a 🔥 hazard).
Now I want one of these more than ever!
KEN! Thank you for your AMAZING comment I really appreciate your kind feedback :) you're 100% right its DEFINITELY less of fire hazard HAHA happy new year Ken, all the best :)
+1 here 🙋🏻♀️ on this comment!! @tommy reynolds 100% 🎯🎯 fantastic images & explanation …. gonna get one of these soon !! thanks so much 🙏🏼🙏🏼
Ive been looking at these very recently & you have me totally sold.. love the idea of being able to put gels in them as well ...
GilbertTV Thank you Gilbert 😃 always appreciate your support and comments on my work 😆
Love you videos!!
I absolutely love your studio portrait work!
Your video on doing personal passion projects started me down the road of doing my own completely focusing doing high school senior portraits.
The results are my name and work are finally getting out there!!
Thanks for sharing your passion with us!!
Wethington Photo oh WOW that’s amazing dude!! Thank you for your amazing comment... tag me in your senior portrait work.. I’d love to see your stuff 😃 Thanks again dude and happy new year 🥳
I have looked at this a few times. Wish I bought it instead of the PITA MagMod sruff.
Thanks for the video Tommy. Great images.
I guess that is a thought many of us would have after watching this video :).
Richard Bradbury Thank you for watching Richard! And thanks again for sharing the video on your Facebook group :)
Richard and Tommy, what are your thought about pixapro versus magbeam system? I haven't tried any of them so I would your comments :-)
@@kbqvist I don't have any experience with the optical snoot myself but it should offer more control than the mag mod mag beam.
Where the mag beam/mag mode wins is portability for location work, mine lives in the lighting bag along with my Pixapro Pika 200's and 360 light.
You can do a fair bit with the mag beam but the optical offers far more in terms of precision light control.
If you grab mag mod gear use some silicon sealant to keep the magnets in place in the grips and modifiers other wise they take a real big liking to each other and don't like being separated..
So many creative options with this! Thanks for sharing Tommy and amazing images as always!
Clark Sanders Thank you ever so much Clark dude, it’s so awesome 😃
Another lovely, practical, useful video with loads of brilliant images to boot. Keep them coming Tommy. Love your videos :).
Thank you ever so much Pradeep dude :D Glad you're liking the videos bro !
Great video and great shots Tommy! Thanks for sharing!
what a review! thanks for sharing your experience and amazing work! it is really helpful to know how others professionals work. subscribed and thank you!
Love all your videos brother. I’m always looking forward to see them!
Joel Atanacio Joel dude, thanks so much man...I really appreciate your comment 😃
That's an amazing self portrait
Thanks for making and sharing this great video!
Fantastic I am going g to try this
Fantastic my brother !!! Thank you so much !!
Thank you much...cool light work!
I watched someone review one of these earlier in the year and they look a great little tool. I guess there are lots of opportunities to be had with making your own gobos as well.
100% dude, its pretty endless and always get a good reaction from clients when they see the photos. Its just something a bit different to offer your clients :)
Great Video! Thanks for making me want this now!
வீடியோ மிகவும் பயனுள்ளதாக இருந்தது மிக்க நன்றி 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Exquisite work!!
Thank you Charles! :)
Awesome video! What program were you using to pre-plan your shoot?
Very informative. Pleasure to watch
Hello! Love your videos, very inspiring :) do you ever do natural light photography? Would be cool too see.
Coming soon!
I would love to see more of this using these lighting adaptors ... there is not enough online about them! :)
Very useful video, thank you, and great portraits. I just ordered the optical snoot and I look forward to using it. I loved the location for your ballet shot - may I ask where it was?
Amazing video well explained too
AMAN SHAIKH Thanks so much dude! I’m glad you enjoyed this one 😃
Hi great video. Can i use a Canon 28mm 1.8 usm lens and godox v1 speedlight
i love your demonstration what was the name of the modifyer
Fantastic work!
What are the camera parameters you used for Tom's first pic? How do you manage to not kill the snoot effect with the keylight?
What for gels don't melt if you put them next to the gobo?
Thank you!
Where is the location you shot the dance and is it available for hire? Great video
Did you use a standard reflector diffuser @ 11:35?
So it will be ok with ad 300 pro and his modeling light .? Moreover with 50mm can I light only the face or it is make the light spread too much .?
I love this. My question is will my MagMod Gobos fit with kit. Also will my AD600 Pro work with this optical snoot? I know the bulbs inside the AD600 and AD600 pro are different.
Great video Tommy, thanks. If I understood correctly, the optical snoot has to be set between the speedlite and the prime lens, right? What about softboxes, isn't it possible to add up some of them? Or their use would be a nonsense? And lastly: does it fit all lenses (Nikon, Canon, etc.)?
What lens will be the best universal for this optical snoot?
Does it compatible for elinchrom strobe light ?
Really enjoyed this
Sehr schöne Bilder! Grüße aus Deutschland 🇩🇪
how much light does this snoot eat up? i have been using another one and at full power on my strobe i still need to be high on my iso and my settings are 160/F4 but, iso at over 600 or is this normal for this type of light shaping tools?? thanks in advance
Excellent Review, will Framing Shutter for Godox S30 and Godox SA-06 Iris Diaphragm for Godox S30 fit on this
I own this product, there is 2 big problem on it :
- first one the system to fix gobo is a big shit it's really hard to fix gobo and to turn them
- second part if you will use it with led light, temperature will increase a lot. One of our light switch off because temperature increase to much on it due to this optical snoot.
Excepted this point this is good product
Is there a alternative to using the ring flash?
Hi please help me with one question .i want to know if profoto b 10 can be used with one continuous light like nanlite or aputure 120d for fill light and background light ? And which continuous light is better ? Nanlight 150 / auture 120dThe purpose of shoot is portraits and fashion . Thanks
Sorry Bela I haven’t used any of those lights so couldn’t say
Hi Tommy! I just bought one of these to use with my old 50mm 1.8 (nifty fifty) but it can't be focused unless it's attached to a camera. So now I can't focus the light. Any advice? You recommend the lens I have so I'm curious what your thoughts would be. Thank you!
This guy look so freaking good
This is a very useful light shaping tool to keep handy, but this is a bit pricey for what it is. It does produce very good effects though. Magmod is over rated especially for the ridiculous price they charge
wellwhatthen10101 I will admit, the magmod stuff is quite expensive for what it is but I can just about justify the price of this modifier for the effect(s) I get in return personally. Thanks for watching the video dude
What about reverse macro lens on this snoot? ;)
Exceptional Vid' - Thanks for posting :) - Just bought one, and another on order (eBay), Brilliant accessories (Mine has its' own internal 3-each x-4" lenses) but very cheap, $130 Australian inc' postage (I think they may have mispriced it ? )
John Skiggs Thanks for watching dude, let me know how you get on with yours :)
@@TommyReynolds89 Hi Tom' I played with my first focusable snoot in my darkened studio a couple of nights ago, It proved itself brilliant value and a very punchy plus for my studio. Having learned that, I bought the second one. I don't think the focus is equal to yours but it comes with 5-coloured filters 14-projectable shapes inc' 4-circles of different sizes plus a very disciplined output-lens with a diameter of almost 4" (95mm) eBay see > "Neewer Aluminium Alloy Studio Conical Spot Snoot with Bowens Mount" most I found were priced at the $260-Aud mark, you have to look a bit, try this url it may work? > www.ebay.com.au/itm/Neewer-Aluminium-Alloy-Studio-Conical-Spot-Snoot-with-Bowens-Mount/312758170259?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649 cheers mate :)
Can I use elinchrom lights to mount this Snoot?
Yes but only if you buy the Elicnchrom Speedring as well. As standard it comes with Bowens mount.
Do you know what a comparable one would be Stateside? I'd love to get one, I just want to make sure I am getting a quality one.
Hey James, PIXAPRO do worldwide shipping if that helps? Not sure about a US version im afraid
Hey, I was looking for an equivalent and the strobepro looks like the exact equivalent. I am ordering one of these.
Why do you use that light on your camera lens ?
Hey roberto. I use it as a fill light. Go check out my video cinematic head shot to learn more about it. I’ll be doing a dedicated video about it very soon
And for what is a full light ?
@@robertosanhueza2605 I’ll explain in my next video ;)
Thanks a lot bro
My friend love your videos . But wouldn’t the heat , maybe ruin your lens .This is not the first time energy-saving bulbs have been criticized - fluorescent bulbs emit dangerous UV light. Eco-friendly LED lights may damage your eyes, according to new research.A study has discovered that exposure to LED lights can cause irreparable harm to the retina of the human eye.Nov 28, 2014
aral2dmax 99% of the time I’m not using this with continuous lights so it’s not that bright nor is the modelling light on a strobe going to cause any hear issues. On a continuous light at 1000W yeah it gets warm as expected but nothing to make me concerned
@@TommyReynolds89 Gotcha my friend. Like I said , LOVE your tutorials , I'm not bashing your photography or your channel nor your tutorials , Its something that I read a long time ago. Please dont take it the wrong way. For all those who read my previous comment, please don't take my comment the wrong either , Reynolds is an excellent photographer.
@@aral2dmax Ha no its cool bro, i apologise for the blunt reply, Im not usually that blunt i promise. I also didnt say thank you for your comment and for your support on my work so thank you ever so much :)
