Questions & Answers

Shopper : Will this fit on the 17” Glow beauty Dish?MICHAEL D : Yes, this will fit the 150mm insert diameter of the Glow 17" Beauty Dish.JEFF C : I’m not sure. I do not have a 17” Glow Beauty Dish. It seems that the folks at Adorama should be able to check this. You could also measure the diameter of the existing speeding or the place where the speed ring sits. If it’s about 150mm (6”) it will work. I hope this helps!THOMAS B : Afraid I can't say for sure. I purchased to fit a Paul C. Buff softbox. If the beauty dish uses speedring inserts, you just need to measure the diameter of the existing ring and order the same diameter ring for the Bowens mount or whatever mount you are wanting. The speedrings come in several different diameters so it's important to order the correct diameter as needed.
Mike P : Will this adapter work with the 17” Glow Beauty Dish?MICHAEL D : Yes!
MARCO O : will it work with the glow ez lock 34 beauty dish softbox?MICHAEL D : Yes.

Adapts Paul C Buff modifiers to Flashpoint strobes

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!

Old strip box back in service

OK but Not Sturdy

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.

"Low Profile" Best for COB Type LED Lights

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.

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

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.

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

Must have for the short-bulb strobes

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.

Great adapter for modifiers

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.

Thumbs up!!!

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!!!

Find the Glow Low Profile Speedring 150mm for Bowens, a robust and efficient accessory designed to optimize your flash tube's output and extend its lifespan. This 150mm Speedring is a preferred choice for photographers using the Glow EZ Lock Parabolic Softbox and the Glow EZ Lock Beauty Dish. These tools are renowned for their exceptional light efficiency and their ability to capture the human form with grace and warmth.

The Speedring is specifically designed to complement Bowens flash heads, which are carefully engineered to balance the height of the tube mounted in the strobe's base plate with the sweet spot, maximizing the power of reflectors and modifiers. This low-profile speedring design is particularly suited for the Flashpoint XPLOR600 series monolights, where the tube mounting position is lower.

The shallow mount ring of the Glow Low Profile Speedring takes full advantage of the Bowens modifier, ensuring you get the most light from your flash. It's ideal for softboxes with interchangeable speedrings, providing the best light spread.

Without the benefits of this low-profile speedring design, some of the light and heat produced may be trapped in the collar ring of the mount, compromising output. However, with the Glow Low Profile Speedring, you can utilize every bit of light, potentially making all the difference in your Guide Number.

Whether you're replacing existing speed rings or looking to enhance your lighting setup, the Glow Low Profile Speedring 150mm for Bowens is a solid and reliable choice that delivers exceptional results.

Glow Low Profile Speedring Features

  • Maximizes the output of Flashpoint XPLOR600 series monolights with Bowens modifers
  • Shortens the distance of the flashtube base to modifier
  • Better airflow to the bulb for cooler operation and longer life
