Any help ?

[135°] Havent lost any nuts yet, still rotates nice and smoothly. Bought two- used on an large octabox, and a large rectangular strip. 5

Daniel	08/09/2024
[White] This fit well. Am using it with my White Lightning monolights and Impact Luxbanx Duo Small Strip Softbox (12 x 36). 5

Gordon	05/08/2024
[White] The speed ring is great. I use it for the white lightning 1600s, and there really snug. I just for an Einstein, and the locking levers dont quite lock all the way. 5

g-man	02/08/2024
[White] I recently acquired 2 used Paul Buff Ultra strobes and needed a speed ring for my existing soft boxes. This Impact speed ring works great! 5

Hilde	25/07/2024
[135°] Works well, as it should. 5

Mark	22/07/2024
[Aluminum] Very well made, and the arrangement of flex rod holes are clearly labeled and works with every softbox I own. 5

Danny	21/07/2024
[Black] Works fine with Alien Bee1600. I like that it has a hole with 1/4-20 thread so a soft box can be mounted on a light stand independent of the strobe. This way I can use a speed light mounted behind the box. 5

[White] I bought this speed ring to use with the now discontinued Westcott Strip Softbox (12"x36"). The speed ring works perfectly with this Westcott Strip Softbox. While it's true the locking levers won't lock all the way with Einstein as stated in an other review, the locking is still very strong. I couldn't find a way to unlock it by shaking, twisting or levering the softbox or flash unit. I wouldn't worry about it if you are still on the fence to buy that speed ring. 5
