2. MagMod Starter Flash Kit

MagMod Starter Flash Kit

Included in this awesomely universal flash kit is the MagGrip, MagGrid and MagSphere, all for just £119.

The MagGrip attaches to almost any hotshoe flash with freakishly strong magnets - gone are the days fighting with sticky adhesives in an attempt to secure modifiers to the flash - something your friend will be eternally grateful for!

The MagGrid is capable of controlling light spill and narrowing the flash's beam angle to 40°.

The MagSphere further aids to producing the best looking light possible by diffusing the flash light in an omni-directional fashion. It has an integrated gel slot enabling you to change the colour of your flash if you purchase any of the MagMod Gel Sets.

The Spark is an awesome mini drone created by the World's market leader in drone technology, DJI. Despite it's small (and admittedly cute) size, it packs a punch with all of DJI's signature technologies and more. This includes gesture control, ActiveTrack to stay on target while recording, and Return to Home so the little guy can fly to the home point automatically if the battery gets too low or the connection is lost. Capture incredible aerial views with the Spark's HD camera; and at just £485 these drones are the next must for photographers who also enjoy videography.
