FAQs
Can I use this speed ring with any Broncolor light modifier?
This speed ring is designed to adapt Broncolor light modifiers to Profoto systems. While it works with most standard Broncolor softboxes and modifiers, it's always best to check the specific dimensions and mounting type of your modifier.
Will this speed ring work with all Profoto flash heads?
It is designed for Profoto flash systems. Compatibility is generally broad, but specific older or highly specialized Profoto heads might require verification.
Do I need any tools to attach this speed ring?
Typically, tools are not required for attaching the speed ring to the Profoto head. Some light modifiers might require a screwdriver for initial attachment to the speed ring itself.
How durable is this speed ring?
The speed ring is constructed with durable materials designed for professional studio use, ensuring longevity under regular operation.
What is the primary advantage of using this adapter?
The primary advantage is the ability to use your existing Broncolor light modifiers with Profoto lighting equipment, offering greater flexibility and potentially saving costs.
Can I mount Profoto modifiers onto Broncolor lights with this adapter?
No, this speed ring is specifically designed to mount Broncolor modifiers onto Profoto light systems.
Troubleshooting
Modifier does not attach securely to the speed ring.
Ensure all screws or locking mechanisms on both the modifier and the speed ring are fully tightened. Check for any obstructions or damage on the mounting points.
Light modifier appears angled or off-center.
Realign the modifier with the speed ring and ensure it is seated correctly in all mounting slots. Double-check that the speed ring is properly locked onto the Profoto head.
Speed ring seems difficult to attach to the Profoto head.
Confirm that you are using the correct speed ring for Profoto heads and that there are no foreign objects obstructing the connection. Gently try to align the pins or grooves before applying pressure.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: To set up the Broncolor Speed Ring, first remove any existing speed ring from your Broncolor light modifier. Then, align the Broncolor Speed Ring adapter with the mounting points on the light modifier and secure it using the provided screws or locking mechanism. Finally, attach the Broncolor Speed Ring (with the modifier now attached) to your Profoto flash head. Ensure it clicks into place or is tightened securely according to your Profoto head's instructions.
Compatibility: This speed ring is specifically designed to mount Broncolor softboxes and light modifiers onto Profoto flash systems and lighting heads. Always verify that your specific Profoto head model is supported by the speed ring and your modifier's attachment system.
Care: Clean the speed ring with a dry or slightly damp microfiber cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. Store in a dry place when not in use to prevent damage.
