- I've realized that sometimes cheap, easy, and quick is better than pricey, inconvenient, and slow. It took me over 10 years to figure this out. Today, we show you the best lighting setup ever.

The correct way to refer to your son as as a VAL - a Voice Activated Lightstand 😀 Great video, sometimes simple is best.
The hug and kiss from your son, how precious. I agree with you, the simpler the better. One lens, one flash, one modifier.
It was not a quick dumb video, it was a super useful tip video for us common man.
I watch a zillion TH-cam photography channels and yours is by far my fave! Love your sense of humor and energy! My favorite videos are your photography tutorials and lighting tips like these. Thanks so much for making these. I’ve learned so much from your channel!
So much fun to watch - keep on with this style.
Super fun and lots of good tips. Thank you!
Love the energy you bring to all your videos. Great work man
Love this , I'm mainly on my own photographing and I'm so going to try that umbrella over the shoulder hack...would never have thought of that! Thank you!!!!
I love your humor, it really makes it fun to watch your videos
Excellent video Omar. Thank you!
Absolutely brilliant
Love the Glow boxes...so conveniently popped up especially the beauty dish.
Dude, you’re awesome! You brighten the TH-cam space!
You are great to watch man. Love it 😊
Love your channel.Your methodologies of teaching is excellent with your lighthearted touch.Great channel.Well done.
Love these low-budget setup videos. As someone getting into photography and wanting to explore portraiture, so many tutorials out there on "simple" or "starter" setups still require hundreds of dollars. This is so much more obtainable!
Love this. Keeping it simple. Sometimes get caught up with taking all the gear.
Love this. You are the reason I have an awesome photo cart and use it with my off camera flash and umbrella. Sometimes I think I need more but the umbrella rocks! Thanks.
I recently got a couple of Manfrotto Nanostands. As long as there is no wind, they’re fine with a shoot thru and a small flash. The Nanostand legs splay out pretty flat so you can easily weight them down if you need to. They’re a nice option to have when you can’t go lugging tons of gear around. I use them indoors too for light duty.
I have seen some of your review videos, but you have so much information on these kinds of videos and it is genuinely funny and I'm just grateful for your great content.
Omar, your videos are fun and informative. You always give me something to consider. Thank you
I fux with Omar. Great instructor with simple information that gives you kick ass results
You are so fun. I learn so much with your video! Thanks for caring about us newbies
Another great video! Love the funny parts as always!
love all your videos!
Excellent advice.
You're just the best Omar! Always funny and presenting great ideas and tips. Thanks.
haha! your tutorials are GOLD!!! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
I love this set up ! Its perfect for me to do .. Thanks for sharing ..
I just love your videos!
Your " ehhhh...you like..." always cracks me up Omar 😂
You have the best personality, it makes learning all this stuff like as if i was chilling with a friend and a simple convo. Watching most photography info i find myself getting intense lol like looking straight for the info. Keep it up!
Thank you, awesome as usual 🥰
The humor ....... Love it !!!
EXACT same set up here. I also use the Magshoe with the AD200 (sometimes I go even lighter with a Metz M400 for Fuji) and the reversible-collapsible Westcott umbrella as well (which is sort of a pain to put back in the bag with the black cover on but it just works and gets the job done). Completely agree with the reflector as your first modifier, and absolutely agree about umbrellas... and about everything.
Some TH-camrs are just genuine and it a pleasure to subscribe . Thanks for the tips and a reason to buy more things !
Man I love your videos!
Thanks for this video Omar. I always get intimidated looking at people's light setups when they have multiple lights and a reflector. It's good to know you can get these great results from just one light and umbrella.
absolutely NOT a dumb video - I do love it, thanks a ton !!
That was such a fun video to watch. Glad still have mine, so your saying Ill come back to it.
Great video!
You are funny man I like your content...always a joy and laughter.
I am a new subscriber. Man, I've been doing photography for many years but I will say I've been learning a lot watching your videos. You're definitely my new go to channel for wasting valuable time watching videos!!! Great videos!!
This video was incredibly helpful! Thanks! ❤
Glad it was helpful!
Love the father-son bond!
just beautiful, thanks for sharing and being so original easy going with all your videos and straight to the point, blessings to you and your crew, FULL CIRCLE UMBRELLA, sweet,
Great Video!
You are hilarious 😂 Thanks so much. I used this setup this weekend and it was perfect!
5:31 !!! LOL. You got a great sense of humor man. And great video ! This was dope to see. Thanks for sharing !
I’m so glad that I switched to one body - one lens and using daylight for everything ha ha. Back in the day when doing the paid jobs I would have loved such a kit . Back then I used the bounce flash to get the desired look and prayed that I got it right first time, as on film you don’t know if it has worked until the prints came back - awful I know ha ha. But practice made perfect lol. We are so spoiled these days with digital . I am also no longer young and can only manage to stand without falling over in a light breeze , so as helpful as the tips were, I shall give the ideas a miss .
Omar , another fantastic video and thank you once again for some really useful ideas .
good shit man ... I'm like 6 of videos deep now. Not only do I like your sense of human. You're a good photographer that actual talks thru your gear and settings.... all the best : )
Great video - Always informative, Always honest & frankly you Crack Me Up! Keep being you - It's nice to get info from someone who isn't "faking it to make it".
dude, you're awesome! You got me at the light drop, Haaaaa!!
Nicey, Omar! Great live stand, your son! Love this. Still setting up a home studio!
I almost spit out my cauliflower gratin. Thanks for the video, always a good time watching you being you 👍
flowing, indeed ! the BW of the 3 guys is really nice
The best love your videos you have me laughing and learning
Great video thanks
Dude I’ve never been more entertained while watching a tutorial video 😂😂😂😂 thank you so much for the laughs and knowledge! Instant subscribe from me!
Thanks for the sub!
Thank you!
Yup great setup. By the way your videos are absolutely excellent. Thanks for keeping it real.
Still love this vid, must've watched it 5x since you published it Omar. Cheers for the laughs and the great info!
I just love your videos! Your Dad humor is on point - and your work is fantastic! Love how you're down to earth, and just talk about everything in a realistic way! So refreshing! I also LOVE the way your son hugged you at the 4:32 mark - this makes my heart happy - Not only are you a great photographer, a great TH-cam'er - you're a great Dad too. 👏👏👏
I shot a band last week with 4 lights, barn doors and gels, the shot they liked the most was an experiment shooting thought a large rainbow umbrella with a AD300, sometimes keeping it simple works the best.
Oh, that's a cool idea! I'll have to try that one.
@@kadinaator Now working on putting colored sheets like cellophane on an translucent umbrella to have some control on the colors and were there placed on the scene, well as much has you can shooting through an umbrella.
So funny, I was agonizing over the same "simple setup" heading overseas , but in the end I just decided on natural light due to my minimalist travel gear.. But I love the light-sphere added into the umbrella setup. Will definitely use that!
Hello. Brill vid, ta. On the basis of this vid, I have subscribed. Your experience, presentation , humour and ability to teach made this excellent. It proves one does not need amazing videos to explain many things (nor silly / awful stock clips). Your talking-head (with some illustrations) video was a perfect explanation of the subject. I am not even interested in shooting in an urban environment nor changing to Fuji (albeit an excellent brand) so, prima facie, there was nowt here for me but, actually, I learned much. Cheers, best wishes from the UK and thank you.
You are just so funny, look forward to your content.
That black and white shot of the 3 boys is perfection.
Nice video. I too have been using umbrellas recently; both shoot thru and black/reflector type. They are very easy. I own the Glow softbox as well, and they are NOT quick and easy. The Magmod grip seems like a good idea, but expensive. I use a cheap grip for speed-lite, but it doesn't include an umbrella hole, unless I add something to the top.
This is the greatest idea since sliced bread ! I’m going to work on this TODAY !!!! Well done Omar
🏆
Thanks!
Wonderfull!
Aw you and your son are so sweet 😊
Great video dude. I have the magshoe but never noticed that little connector piece with any of the accessories that came with the mag box kit. I’d love to try it on one of my AD200s. Gotta look around to see if I can find that piece!
Great vid, I’m always so confused about lighting
Great video and good advice. I will trying finding old tools that I’ve used and see if they will fit my workflow after the experiences gained. Out of curiosity, how many things did you break making this video 😅😁?
Great idea, ain’t dumb at all!
Hola Omar! Buenísimos tus videos! Muy entretenidos y he aprendido muchos tips and tricks de ti!
Me encanta ver como has crecido como fotógrafo y youtuber.
Oye, cual es el accesorio que tienes tipo visor en la pantalla de tu 5Div en este video?
Your so funny. I really enjoy your videos.
I like your style
Great video ... I laugh so bad :) You are really hilarious, and the best thing is, that it is still informative :) just great!
The Glow modifiers are very easy to open. Put them on the floor and push down. I don't know why people try to open it against their chests.
Man do I love this one ! Thanks Omar. ''Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication'' , quote from Leoardo da vinci, Einstein and Steve Job, They were all fans of elegant, simple solutions
Nice video. In my experience, the small 27 and 28 umbrellas are even better for mobile situations, small spaces etc.
You crack me up.....lol. Along with educating me, of course....
You.Are.Sooooo.Funny!!! And helpful.
Love your videos, you are so funny
You make a lot of sense and it is not a dumb video , it is an intelligent right to the point one. Your results testify..!
the magbounce is another great outdoor modifier with very compact size.
“You just go like this……..”. Great comedy and super vid.
Thank you for this video! I've been thinking about a lightweight solution for handheld off-camera flash, and this nails it. 😁 Add a sturdy pole to the bottom of the MagMod, and you could wave your light all around the subject. 👀 Not sure how practical that is, but that's the dream.
Saw one as a backpack once. That's the dream lol
Your fucking funny man. I’ve been watching a lot lately. The energy you bring is awesome.
I never thought about just using the magmod sphere without the magnet like that hahah.
It's so funny the we photographers move away from the shoot thru to a softbox and get kinda smug about it, then lug around big softboxes outside where they offer almost no advantage to an umbrella. Such a good way to get soft light outside, even just as a small scrim to soften sunlight
I mount my AD200 on my Canon RP's frame, with a mini monopod attached to the frame as well…the AD is separated & the flash head sits on the monopod…I use a MagSphere as well, a d reckon I could put an umbrella on it as well…it’s a monster of a set up tho as it is…😎
Omar - Love your videos and have learned so much. Can I ask - Why the addition of the diffuser (magsphere) in addition to an umbrella?
So funny, I just bought my first umbrella with my new Godox AD100 Pro (which I love!). The umbrella is the Godox UBL-085T, 33", very compact, only $16. Comes with a case and a removable reflective rear cover, so light spill can be controlled easily. Much more portable and faster to set up than my 32" softboxes, for run & gun stuff.
Omar! Great video-I'm an international traveler, love photos, and want to start shooting video. I need the smallest lighting set up possible. I liked your ideas but want to get stuff even smaller :). Thanks for the tips!!!
Omar, if I lived close to you, we would be friends hahaha love the channel bro, super inspiring to keep shooting. As a dad of 3, sometimes I feel like I have creativity, then I watch one of your videos and I’m off shooting back again. Keep up the great work!
I have been pleading in TH-cam comments for years for a one man portable, light weight and easy lighting setup. For years! This is perfect, the peice I was missing was the handle. It's exactly what I need. THANK YOU!
The fact that you can even hold it yourself!!
@@ogonzilla is the ad200 worth it over the normal godox speedlight? I have been considering getting one
@@spyhunter6411 very much so if you're shooting flash outdoors.
@@ogonzilla fantastic thank you
