Wedding, event and wildlife photographers who need a concentrated flash beam to reach distant subjects, and creators who want to project patterns.
You want soft, spread-out light, or you do not want to add the MagGrip 2 the modifier attaches through.
Most flash modifiers spread or soften light. The MagBeam does the opposite: with a tele lens built in, it works like a lighthouse for your speedlight and sends a concentrated beam across a room. MagMod describes it as spotlighting subjects with snoot-like precision but far greater strength, which is useful at weddings, receptions and wildlife shoots where your subject is far from the flash.
A beam that reaches
The tele lens is what separates the MagBeam from a plain snoot. It focuses the flash into a narrower, more intense beam so distant subjects are lit properly. MagMod says it suits on-camera and off-camera use alike, from vibrant reception dance floors to creative portraiture.
Wide lens and MagMask patterns
Because the body is collapsible, you can collapse it all the way, swap in the Wide Lens and add a MagMask, which MagMod makes from stainless steel as gobos for projecting patterns. That gives the MagBeam a second life as a creative effect tool, not only a long-range light.
Size, weight and fit
MagMod lists the MagBeam at 9.06 oz and about 2.4 × 4.75 × 6 inches, in silicone with magnets. It attaches through the MagGrip 2, which stretches over most rectangular and round-head flashes. Check MagMod’s tested-flash chart for your model.
If you want a tighter beam without a lens, our MagSnoot 2 review covers a collapsing snoot, and the MagGrid 2 review covers a grid. Our flash modifier guide helps you pick.
Buying recommendation
Choose the MagBeam if you need reach and control from a speedlight, or want to project patterns. Skip it for soft portrait light; the MagSphere 2 or a softbox fits that job better.

What we like
- A tele lens directs light with far more intensity than a plain snoot
- Works on camera and off camera
- Collapses for storage; a wide lens and MagMask patterns add a creative option
- Silicone body with magnets, at 9.06 oz
What to know
- It needs a MagGrip 2, which is sold separately
- It is a specialist tool; it narrows light rather than softening it
