Explore the transformative power of the Glow Low Profile Speedring 130mm for Bowens, a crucial accessory that optimizes the efficiency of your flashtube and extends its lifespan. This 130mm Speedring is specifically designed for use with the Glow EZ Lock Octa Softbox, an eight-sided shallow parabolic softbox known for its soft, luxurious color lighting and the unique blend of softbox and umbrella qualities.The Speedring's design is a testament to Bowens' meticulous attention to detail, ensuring a perfect balance between the height of the tube mounted in the base plate of the strobe and the sweet spot that maximizes the power of reflectors and modifiers. This low-profile speedring design is particularly suited to the lower tube mounting position found in the Flashpoint XPLOR600 series monolights.The shallow mount ring of the Glow Low Profile Speedring 130mm for Bowens enhances the functionality of the Bowens modifier, ensuring you get the most out of your flash. It's ideal for softboxes with interchangeable speedrings, providing the best possible light spread.The low-profile design of the speedring prevents light and heat from being trapped in the collar ring of the mount, thereby preventing any compromise in output. This small but significant detail can make all the difference in achieving the optimal Guide Number. Experience the difference with the Glow Low Profile Speedring 130mm for Bowens, the perfect companion for your lighting setup.

139mm adapter ring fits perfectly.  I can now use my Paul C Buff softboxes with my Flashpoint and Godox ad 300 strobes. It's a great option to save a few bucks and use the equipment you may already own. Easily switch back if you want to use your Buff strobes.

 Be sure to order the 139mm!

Adapts Paul C Buff modifiers to Flashpoint strobes

This worked perfectly to change over a strip box I had to Bowens mount.

Old strip box back in service

Modified my balcar mount into a Bowen. Fits perfect!

Simple and fits great!

Just what the doctor ordered, bought this to adapt some older Paul C. Buff Softboxes, and It works flawlessly.

New life for old softboxes

I used these when I switched from Paul Buff lights to Flashpoint. I didn't want to buy new modifiers so these were a good solution to modify the Balcar mounts on my my modifiers to bowens mounts. 

These aren't built very well. The only thing keeping the bowens ring from rotating is some detents in the housing. I bought two of these and found that one of them just kept rotating (the black, plastic component) so I had to take a punch and a hammer to deepened the detents. I ended up finding some all metal, one piece units that I just cut down with tinsnips to fit.

OK but Not Sturdy

This fits perfect on my Paul Buff strip soft boxes. Not having to buy more modifiers is always a plus.

Simple but works great

If you are planning to use a COB LED in a softbox or octabox, this Low Profile insert is the best choice.  The normal size insert is too deep, reducing the spread of the light within the modifier, and, just as bad, casting shadows from the umbrella spokes.  I learned this through trial and error, so I hope this helps those looking to adapt a Buff modifier to continuous lights such as those offered by Godox.

"Low Profile" Best for COB Type LED Lights

Perfect Fit

I tried it out today with a large softbox in breezy conditions. It worked really well with my Paul Buff softbox.

Great!

The speedring fits my Alien Bees softboxes perfectly.  The 139mm size seems to work for three out of four of them.  If you purchase one for an Alien Bee however, you MUST carefully measure each box as some are different sizes and a 139mm would be too small and a 144mm too big.  Nice being able to use the AB boxes on my Bowens mount lights when needed.

Great for many Alien Bee softboxes to allow for a Bowens mount.

This speed ring insert enabled me to use my 3x6 ft Paul C Buff soft box with my Bowens mount strobes. Saved me some money and worked perfectly.

Great quality, saved me $$

Completely solid build and not flimsy at all. Works as a perfect replacement to my other speed rings with the same diameter. Bought two.

Great Buy

The Godox AD300/XPLOR 300 should have a longer bulb to use it with Bowens softboxes via the XPLOR 400 mount adapter! So to fill in a large Bowens softbox you either need to use the S2 braket instead, or all your speedring inserts should be low profile. This speedring fits the bill. Nothing special about it, but it just works. Using it with the SMDV Alpha softboxes.

Must have for the short-bulb strobes

Perfect fit for for my Paul c buff light modifiers.

PCB MOUNT TO BOWENS CONVERSION

Purchased this to attach a Paul C. Buff softbox to a Godox S2 style speedlight holder. Works great for my needs and easily swappable if I want to switch back to the original Balcar mount to attach to my Einsteins.

Great adapter for modifiers

Works great in my Paul C Buff softbox to use with my Photoflex Starflash unit.

Perfect fit!

Easy to install and fit perfect in my Flashpoint 600 flash.  Thanks!

Just what I needed!

This was just what I needed to be able to connect my Paul C Buff beauty dish to my Bowen's mount flash holder. Perfect fit and attaches easily.

Perfect fit and just what I needed!

I bought this instead of the entire speeding. I have 3 rings with Elinchrome mounts and will  be transiting to the Flash Point Pro’s in the coming months. No sense in spending the extra money of more soft box mounts. I replaced the metal ring for $ and everything works just as it should. Thumbs up!!!
