Godox MA01 Magnetic Kit: What It Fits and How to Use It

The Godox MA01 Magnetic Attachment Kit adds a diffuser and honeycomb grid to iT20, iT22, iM20 and iM22 mini flashes. Here is how to mount, shape and swap them cleanly.

Quick answer

Use the Godox MA01 Magnetic Attachment Kit only on the Godox iT20, iT22, iM20 or iM22 mini flashes: seat the magnetic ring on the flash head, snap on the diffuser or honeycomb grid, then test the beam before you shoot.

Why the magnetic mount changes your on-camera workflow

A magnetic modifier is not just a convenience. It lets you change the light shape between shots without peeling tape or sliding a plastic foot, which matters when you are moving between a soft fill for a portrait and a tighter grid for a detail shot. The trade-off is that magnets hold best when the flash head and the modifier ring are clean and aligned; a hurried snap can leave the diffuser slightly off-axis and visibly uneven in the frame.

Where the MA01 kit does not help

This kit is built for the four listed mini flashes, not for full-size speedlights or studio heads. If you own a different Godox model, the magnetic ring will not seat correctly, and forcing it risks scratching the flash head. Check your flash model before buying; if it is not an iT20, iT22, iM20 or iM22, this is the wrong accessory.

Step-by-step: fitting and using the MA01 kit

Confirm your flash model: Look at the model name printed on the side or bottom of your Godox mini flash. Proceed only if it reads iT20, iT22, iM20 or iM22. If the model is not listed, stop here; the magnetic ring will not seat properly.
Clean and align the flash head: Wipe the front of the flash head with a dry microfiber cloth, then hold the magnetic ring flat against the head so the contact points line up before letting the magnets pull it in. A dusty or tilted ring is the most common cause of a modifier that slips mid-shoot.
Snap on the diffuser first: Attach the diffuser by bringing it straight toward the ring until the magnets catch, then press gently around the edge to seat it evenly. Use the diffuser when you want softer, broader fill for close portraits or fill flash.
Swap to the honeycomb grid for tighter control: Pull the diffuser straight off, then align and snap the honeycomb grid in its place. Keep the swap vertical so you do not drag the ring off the flash head. The grid narrows the beam, so recheck your framing and flash power after the swap.
Test the beam before the shoot: Fire a test frame at your working distance and check for uneven falloff, a dark corner, or a modifier that has shifted. Adjust the ring seating or flash angle as needed. A quick test frame catches alignment problems that are hard to see on the back of the flash.
