  • Adapt Einstein strobes to Bowens S-type modifiers
  • Robust steel and aluminium construction for demanding shoots
  • Weighs only 11.1 oz (314 g) for easy transport
  • Quick attach-and-lock design speeds up set changes
  • Spring-bolt lock holds modifiers firmly yet releases instantly

Einstein Flash Compatibility

This adapter connects an Einstein flash unit to Bowens S-type light modifiers, letting studio photographers use softboxes, reflectors and beauty dishes from Glow and other brands without replacing their strobe. The three-tap channel and spring-bolt lock hold each modifier securely during a shoot.

Workflow Impact

The converter adds virtually no extra bulb-to-modifier distance, so light quality and fall-off stay the same as on a native Bowens head. A quick clockwise turn locks the accessory in place and the retractable spring bolt releases it just as fast, keeping modifier changes swift on set.

Build and Daily Use

Robust steel and aluminium construction weighs 314 g (11.1 oz), adding minimal bulk to a location kit while withstanding repeated mounting cycles. The precise machining keeps the connection stable, so modifiers do not shift when the flash is tilted or boomed overhead.

Questions about this item

Does the spring bolt or locking channel on the Bowens mount converter need periodic lubrication?

The spring bolt retracts for quick release and the three-tap channel locks with a short clockwise turn; no lubrication schedule is mentioned for either mechanism.

What is the first limit reached when the Einstein-to-Bowens converter is used continuously with heavy modifiers?

The adapter adds virtually no bulb-to-modifier distance, so the practical limit is the Einstein flash unit’s own duty cycle and heat capacity, not the converter itself.

Does the steel-and-aluminium converter become hot or emit noise during all-day studio sessions?

The passive metal construction has no fan or moving parts, so it runs silently and only reaches the temperature of the attached Einstein strobe head.
