- Figuring out which light modifier is best for your LED Bowen's mount video light can be a bit tricky! I know it was for me before I got a bunch of different ones and tested it out for myself. I made this video to help shed a little more light on which modifier is best for what and why. If you have questions, please ask away, as it's hard to provide all the info on each modifier in this one video.

Haha, thanks for letting me know!
Thank you, Heather. You're the best. Great vid as usual.
You're welcome, glad you enjoyed!
Just wanted to thank you for getting straight to the point in all of your videos! Other channels have so much garnish and I always have to fast forward their videos.
You are most welcome! I know I hate doing the same thing with others' videos, so that's why I try to keep it to the point.

This is really helpful
Iâve been looking for a comprehensive guide for ages
Glad to hear!
Great video! Love the detailed breakdowns and visuals!!
Happy to hear that! :D
I'm new to videography and through the research that I've done you are the best at explaining shapes and sizes and what they are used for. Thanks! You're a good teacher and I would like to see more on what and when to use different types of lighting.
Thank you very much! I've got lots of videos planned and coming out soon! Stay tuned :D
Awesome like always!
Thank you! :D
Love them all! Thank you!
Glad you like them!
This explained more, if not everything, than the dozens of CZcams videos I've watched about lighting recently. Showing real use examples just - changes everything. Thank-you!
Very happy to hear that! It was my goal, since I couldn't find anything when I was searching for answers :D
Great videos! Thank you so much! Since I never had the opportunity to use some of these modifiers this is really insightful!
Glad it was helpful!
Wow, great video, interesting and thorough explanation!!
Glad it helped!
Such a great introduction with all kinds of light accessories!
Hope it helped! :D
Very nice and concise! Thanks, because I had no clue before. Good thumbnail too!
Appreciate it, thanks!
Appreciate the videos on all this lighting stuff. Super helpful for learning about all this :)) THANKS!
Glad it was helpful!
Literally just bought two Godox VL300s yesterday, this video is hitting the spot. Thank you
Glad I could help! :D
Itâs such a pleasure watching and learning from your tutorials. So insightful
Very happy to hear that :D
@@FellowFilmmaker awesome!
I was wondering if barn doors worked similarly to a round reflector, and then BOOM you answered it! Perfect video- thank you!
Glad I could help!
Really enjoy your videos. Thank you.
Glad you like them!
So helpful I watched it twice (and will refer to this video again, Iâm sure). Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
Great video showing the differences of each. Thank you...and it's well lit! :)
Glad you liked it!
This was SO HELPFUL thanks for the infođ
You are most welcome!!
Cool edit/effect at 1:03 with the triplets. Awesome video, very informative.
Glad you liked it!
Great video, as usual. Thx!!!
Thanks glad you enjoyed it
Great video! You do such a nice job of explaining things so clearly and you cover all the bases.
So happy to hear that! I'm considering doing a video that elaborates further on modifiers :)
Any in particular you've come across you're still stumped on?
@@FellowFilmmaker Hi Heather, sorry for the delayed reply. I am stumped on many things at the moment as I am planning to start a CZcams channel from scratch and need to get the right equipment and learn how to execute videos. I would like to send you a message on your website contact form sometime in the next week or so, where I will explain in more detail what I am stumped on.
In the meantime, I have a question. Why did you not choose a video aspect ratio of 18:9 for your CZcams videos? As a new CZcamsr just getting started, shouldnât I publish videos in that ratio to give viewers the widest viewing video experience?
Great video ⊠covered so many questions and gave new ideas to viewers.
Glad it was helpful!
I like your videos, you are one of the best who can present direct information for the right audience. I think you deserve more subscribers and you will own thousands soon.
I appreciate that! Hoping more come soon! :D
Very good! Iâve been doing this for a long time, and it was great to hear everything put into a nutshell. Iâm particularly interested in the quick set up lights.
Glad it was helpful!
So helpful and straightforward. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
Great video!! - Really helpful, thanks!!
Glad it was helpful!
Very nicely done!
Thank you very much!
Amazing video, so helpful đ„ thank youuu

Thank you very much :D
Very very good to watch... great information.. loved it
Glad you liked it, thank you!
This channel is so underrated!! You really have a lot of knowledge and the ability to explain. Carry on!! Subscribed!!
Super kind of you! Perhaps it will blow up in the new year and I can help so many others! :D
Yep
I'm not new to all of these but still often need to contemplate the differences and am curious about a couple like the lantern. Your video had to be the most illustrative and concise description of essential light modifiers I've seen. As a primarily stills photographer I still found it incredibly relevant.
Happy to hear that :D
I've always been so intimidated by lighting but thank god for this vid to make it so easy to understand! NEW SUBBBB!
Yay! Thank you! Happy to hear it was helpful! More videos coming soon that are indepth. Anything in particular you struggle with?
Ooooo yes flashes!! Like how to use them and sync them to a camera or use it as an off camera flash? Iâve been watching other CZcams tutorials but theyâve been pretty dull and hard to understand. Ooo and maybe the different types of mounts like bowens? Thanks in advance!
Superb quality content. You deserve way more subscribers!
I appreciate that!
Great great video. So helpful. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
This is one of the best CZcams channels for filmmakers who have just started buying their gear. Nice quality of production and this channel is gonna grow real fast. My best wishes to you and lots of love from India. Cheers
Thank you very much! And thanks for watching :D
This was amazing and so helpful! Thank you so much for this. Amazing work! đđŸ
Glad it was helpful!
Fellow Filmmaker if you ever have time Iâd love to have you as a guest on my podcast
You're welcome to reach out via email about and we'll see what we can do :D
Instant subscribe. Great video and energy!
Awesome! Thank you!
Great help thanks!
Glad it helped!
Great Video! Well Done
Thank you very much!
Great work!
Thanks!
One of the other advantages of a fresnel over a snoot or barn doors is that its focusing ALL the light, whereas the other methods work by masking OFF light, losing it- so its brighter with a fresnel.
On another note, I do love the Aputure Lantern, partially because of the light control panels it comes with. Although, if you want to find out for very cheap whether you like the lantern effect, you can get quite close with a ÂŁ2 iKea paper lantern and a few elastic hair bands to hold it on the end of the light. You'll probably only get a single use out of it before it gets ripped, but its still great value.
Nice tip with the cheap lantern idea, thanks for sharing! :)
There are many advantages to each modifier, so hard to cover them all in a video!
Just in time... I'm about to purchase my first COB and modifier... thanks for the info!
so happy to hear it's in time! Hope it helped :D
very useful information, thanks for making
My pleasure

Thanks for the sub and watching :D

Well I'm glad I could help!
Speaking over easy to use parabolic softboxes, take a look at the Angler Boombox. It opens like an umbrella. I love it! I guess the only draw back is the ability to use gels with it.
I'll have to check it out!!
Great Video
Thanks!
very helpful!
Happy to hear that!
Great video. Thanks
You are welcome!
Thanks for the video.
You are welcome!
You are amazing. I like your videos
Thank you so much đ
Great insight Heather. I really like the Angler parabolic - sets up in seconds, comes in a decent bag and includes two diffusions and grid
You're the second person to mention it! I'll have to take a look and maybe try it!
@@FellowFilmmaker I'm in the midst of moving but once that is sorted I'm taking the dive into a YT Channel - a review of the Angler is on my list for content because there's not a whole lot of stuff out there on it
Oooh good to know! Is there just one type or multiple? Cuz if so, which do you want a review on?
@@FellowFilmmaker I have the 36" so that's the one I'll be reviewing
Nice!
Great video! Literally every question I had was answered :D Are you able to add timestamps? This would help a lot :D
Good point, I will do that! :D
very helpulf. thank you
You're welcome!
Very good.
Thanks!
