Questions & Answers

JOHN B : Will this work with a Glow EZ Octa Quick XXL Softbox and Alien Bee 800?MICHAEL D : No, If you want to use Glow EZ Lock Octa Quick XXL Softbox on a Alien Bee, you would need the following item instead: Glow EZ Lock Quick Softbox Speedring Insert 130mm for Balcar / White Lighting / Alien Bees and Einsteins SKU: GLSBEZQABC. There are four screws on the speed ring that allow you to remove the stock Bowens mount insert and swap for a Balcar/Alien Bees Mount.
ISIAKA O : How do I use it to attach my Glow softbox to my Alien Bees b800? I need helpLisa H : Yes, it works for all my alien bees.DONALD F : The speedring pictured is designed to be used with rods. Just line up the rods with the holes and insert until they stop.DANIEL T : Pretty straight forward. Attach the rod ends to the ring, squeeze and hold together the two spring tabs located atop the AB800. Mount ring to face of the monolight, release tabs.BILL N : What softbox do you have? If you have the EZ Parapop, or other quick opening boxes I'm not sure you can use this. However, if you have a Glow universal, you can tale the rods out of the mount that is on it and just insert the rods into the corresponding holes in the rim of the adaptor. My best suggestion is for you to contact the Adorama staff. These guys are very knowledegable, helpful and will answer any technical question you might have.MICHAEL D : Hi Isiaka, Please email us at brands@adorama.com with the model of Glow Softbox that you want to adapt and we will be happy to assist.
Shopper : What is the outer diameter of the adapter?STEVE E : 7 and 7/16 inchesBRIAN B : Mine measures 7 3/4 inch across I use it on Balcar strobe with my 5 foot Octobox works just fine and holds good and tight on strobe.NORM K : OD of the ring is 5 11/16 or 144.5mmRicky C : approx. 7.5 inchesTHEODORE G : The diameter is just under 8 inches.

It gets the job done. I'm giving it 4* because I needed to buy it separately as it wasn't included with softboxes.

Good value and function

Worked great for converting an offbrand lightbox to fit Speedotron lights. Had to fiddle with the screws on the head to get the mount to lock tight but once that was done, everything came together. Great low cost alternative to make use of existing gear.

Glow products are a great choice!

The speed ring pictured is designed to be used with rods. The rods will bend but it is much easier to insert the rods on the same side first then attach the rods on the opposite side. Over time new rods can be purchased separately.

Sent this to my colleagues so they can buy it too!

Excellent build and quality. Super lightweight alloy so easy to add to any lighting kit bag. Fits really securely, I used to use duct tape to hold this piece on my old set in place, this one clicks and reduces the times I have to carry any tape along with me! Seems to take wear really well, optimistic of its lifecycle.

Glow Speedring Adaptor

Extremely durable but lightweight so it won’t add tons of weight to your gear bag. Impressed with how the store brand has been able to match the name brands out there without compromising quality.

About Glow Speed Ring

FEATURED REVIEWS

Great value for the money!

By John W.

Not as pretty as some of the other speedrings from other manufacturers but it gets the job done. If you have the Flashpoint II style lights this ring is a must as the mount style appears unique to these lights. Works great with the Photoflex softbox's.

Great ring, great price

By Steven S.

Adorama likes us to review every item, presumably to help the customer make informed decisions. But how much can I say about a speed ring other than that it works? That it does, and I should say the price point of this ring is amazing. Though I get way more excited about my Flashpoint lights that it's designed for, I do have to say that the low price of the rings influenced my decision to go with the Flashpoint line in my entire lighting setup, which I'm extremely happy with.

A versatile and robust tool for photographers, the Glow Speedring Adapter is specifically designed to mount on Balcar, Alien Bees, and White Lightning monolights. Crafted from precision cast aluminum alloy, this speedring adapter boasts a durable construction that stands up to rigorous use.

Engineered for quick and easy mounting, this speedring adapter seamlessly attaches to your flash head, enhancing your photography setup with minimal effort. Its unique design features a rim with holes that can accommodate up to 16 rods from the light modifier of your choice. This flexibility allows it to support any-sized softbox, providing a universal solution that eliminates the need for multiple connector types.

The Glow Speedring Adapter also comes with a 144mm insert, a feature that adds to its versatility. This insert allows softboxes and other light modifiers to rotate to any angle, offering you complete control over your lighting setup. Whether you're a professional photographer or a hobbyist, the Glow Speedring Adapter for Balcar, Alien Bees, and White Lightning monolights is an essential tool for achieving optimal lighting conditions.
