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

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

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!

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

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.

Great quality, saved me $$

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 Buy

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!!!

Nice being able to use the AB boxes on my Bowens mount lights when needed.

While the Glow Low Profile Speedring 144mm for Bowens is a seemingly simple piece of equipment, its role in maximizing the efficiency of your flashtube is crucial. This durable, high-quality speedring is designed to help your flashtube reach its peak output efficiency, thereby prolonging its service life.

The 144mm Speedring is a perfect companion for the Glow Quick Ball Lantern Softbox, making it an ideal choice for photographers working in challenging environments or tight spaces. This innovative speedring ensures that all parts of the orb emit equal amounts of light, mimicking the effect of a Chinese lantern style globe-shaped softbox, which lacks a source focal point.

Designed to work seamlessly with Bowens flash heads, this speedring facilitates a harmonious balance between the heights of the tube mounted in the base plate of the strobe and the sweet spot, thereby maximizing the power of reflectors and modifiers.

The low-profile design of this speedring is particularly beneficial for Flashpoint XPLOR600 series monolights, as it accommodates the lower tube mounting position found in these models. The shallow mount ring optimizes the use of the Bowens modifier, ensuring you get the most light from your flash.

This versatile speedring is compatible with softboxes that have interchangeable speedrings, offering 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 144mm for Bowens, you can utilize every bit of light, potentially making all the difference in your Guide Number.

Glow Low Profile Speedring Insert for Bowens Mount (144mm) 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
