Apologies, I had to re-upload the video because of some music issues - - I hope I covered most everything but if you still have questions drop them below. Or just leave a comment for the algorithm! Also don't forget all the gear should be linked in the description and get that smoke for 15% off!

These are so helpful (the quick set-up softboxes). SO much faster than the rods. What would be so awesome, in my opinion and perhaps a propriety sale for both your company and softbox manuf, is what about a plastic ZIPPER instead of the velcro? You have 1/2 of the zipper on the softbox (propriety) and the other 1/2 of the zipper on your Mod and then you just zipper them around the four sides. Can be 4 separate zippers or one continuous one that goes around the whole of the softbox. Would help make, with the quick release/assemble softboxes, an extremely quick/breakdown. I would guess 2-3 minutes each. Hopefully this might be something for you all to consider. Thanks for you product. I love mine. :-)

I'm enjoying the heck out of the mods, and now I can't wait to implement more of your tips. Thank you for making these videos. You've definitely helped me develop more skills. 🙏🙏🙏

Good to see you are now using Jinbei HD400pro lights !

[teolopez]

I have to say that I have learned so much from you and your videos. Thank you thank you thank you.

[karlosul]

Love these videos, thanks for sharing, James.

[dandunn]

Thank you for this and all of your videos. Incredibly helpful for so many.

[stephallam]

👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼thanks! Just what I wanted before I dive into using my mods!

[stopplaynnfilms]

your videos are amazing and informal, I finally got a pro light mod and a strobe I'm just waiting for the soft box to come, I still kinda new to the photography world but I'm defiantly inspired by your work witch is the best you are the G.O.A.T, I'm saving up for another strobe and more equipment, so I can really get to it so thanks for the guide line I just have a question can I still get great action shoots with a two light set up??

Hey James, I just picked up two softboxes and 2 2x3 PLM. I'm pretty stoked but just realized that my AD100's are not going to cut it. I do have one AD200 and a 600 but the 6 is my key. If I get another 200, how well will this work outdoors? I'm in my 1st year using OCF and I'm hooked. I just don't have it in the budget right now for 2 more 400 or 600. Maybe by the end of this for now I gotta use what I got. Great video by the way!

[roygarza]

Love your videos! They are so helpful! Thank you for doing them. I'm putting a similar set-up together. What turf do you recommend?

I am wanting to get several 1x4 boxes and pro light mods and several 3x4 boxes and pro light mods....but I am not a photographer, I am a high school computer graphics teacher who is in charge of the video board at the stadium when we got the board 2 years ago. I muddle through doing cool stuff for the athletes to put on the board. So far I have been pretty successful. I do have a sowewhat hefty budget. Can you help with what I will need to get if I have the NEEWER CB60 RGB 70W LED Video Light with App Control, Bowens Mount COB Full Color Continuous Output Lighting 18000Lux/1m CCT 2700K-6500K CRI97+ 17 Scenes for Photography/Studio Video Recording purchased from Amazon....I am not sure what adapter I need to get to make these fit to my NEEWER CB60s. Thank you so much and I can't wait to try these.

[lintoncoke]

enjoy listening to your YouTube channel. I purchased your 3x4 Pro light mod, but I have a question and that is I'm not clear on when you take the image are you using strobe or continuous light?

[Jimmy_Cavallo]

💥💥 James, you are the best. I can’t thank you enough for all of this info and I’ll be placing an order within a week for some mods but I have to figure out a light pattern. I definitely can not afford a 10 light setup like what you have here but I can dream about it.

[JustJamesMedia]

Got to love copyright claims....

I wrote a follow up comment from yesterday's upload. Westcott lights are quite hard to get hold of in the UK, what alternative lights would you recommend? I already have one Godox AD200. Thanks!

[JJDesign-jksy]

How do I get that crispy black background? 🥲 my main light always light up the black background/tripods. Do some of you have any ideas? Thank youuu 💞

[jimimorisaki]

Do you recommend the 1/8 grade for the Pro Mist Filter? I’ve never used one so I don’t know wjhat each grade does.

[inaflashnetworkinaflashpro]

Do you sell the mods? If so what's the website?

[paigeofstylez]

Can i use an ad200 pro for these or do i need a strobe 🤔

[ironman]

what size is the extension piece on the 1x4 prolightmod to fit a strip box?
