MagMod Pro Creative Gels

Fiddling with gels mid-shoot used to cost me minutes, but these snap on and off the MagMod mount in seconds without any crinkling. The rigid polycarbonate means they hold their shape in my bag, and the color saturation is intense enough that one gel does the trick.

The polycarbonate material feels much more durable than the fabric gels I used to fight with, and they slide onto my speedlight in seconds without any tearing. Colors are punchy and consistent even at full power, which saves me time in post.

I was pleasantly surprised by how sturdy these polycarbonate gels are—they don't warp or sag even after being left on a speedlight for a while. The vibrant red really cut through a cloudy outdoor shoot and gave my subject's face a nice dramatic tone.
