SKU CH-KB2M-22HDD

Precision-cast aluminium speed ring mounts Bowens S-type flash heads and accepts up to 16 rods with a 144 mm insert for any softbox angle

  • TypeLighting
  • Precision-cast aluminium alloy gives durable, long-lasting mounting
  • 144 mm insert fits Bowens S-type flash heads securely
  • 16 rod holes accept any sized softbox without extra connectors
  • Quick-mount design lets you attach modifiers in seconds
  • Insert enables stepless angle adjustment for flexible light shaping

Purpose and Compatibility

This Bowens S-type speed ring adapter connects softboxes to compatible flash heads using a 144mm insert. It accepts up to 16 rods, so a single ring works with any-sized softbox the photographer chooses.

Upgrade Considerations

The adapter replaces proprietary or single-size rings that limit modifier choice. The jump is worth it when a studio uses multiple softbox dimensions and needs one durable aluminium alloy ring to cover them all.

Pre-Purchase Checks

Verify the flash head uses a Bowens S-type mount before ordering. Confirm the softbox rod count does not exceed 16 and that the rod diameter fits the ring holes. Ensure the 144mm insert matches the softbox speed ring receiver.

Questions about this item

What diameter insert does this Bowens speed ring use?

The adapter uses a 144 mm insert to connect softboxes and other modifiers to a Bowens S-type flash mount.

How do I attach a softbox to the 16-rod speed ring?

Slide each of the 16 rods into the rim holes, then secure them with the softbox's locking mechanism; the insert lets the modifier rotate to any angle.

When should I replace the aluminum speed ring?

Replace it if the casting cracks, the rod holes elongate, or the Bowens mount lugs wear enough to cause wobble on the flash head.
