Review on MagMod MMBEAMW01 MagBeam Wildlife Kit by Jeff Leu

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Works for stationary animals

Reseller was good, fast shipping etc. Item as described. My first impression is that I probably won't be using the Wildlife Magician mod. If you set the flash zoom to 70-200, the camera's frame rate will automatically be set to 200, which is too slow for birds in flight. I'm usually in the 1600+ range so I can freeze the action and my wings don't blur. I can't automatically change the frame rate to 200 which is the maximum for my Canon 600 EXT-RT flash. I was hoping to add light under the wings or the dark side of the face when flying. I used it on deer but my photos looked better without it. You need to use it as low beam and turn off the power. I feel like it's not versatile enough for me to use for wildlife in the field as I go from stationary to fast-moving objects in a matter of seconds. The weight of the rubber etc pulls the head down making your adjustable head unadjustable.

Pros
  • Decent performance
Cons
  • Other Other
