Product Information
Full details
The Profoto OCF Speedring is an essential accessory for professional photographers using Profoto off-camera flashes who need a rapid, reliable way to mount softboxes and beauty dishes. Its primary benefit is a patent-pending snap-on design that eliminates the struggle of bending rods, significantly reducing setup time on location; however, it is specifically optimized for OCF-series modifiers and may not be compatible with heavier, full-sized studio light shapers.

FAQs
Can I use this with non-OCF softboxes?

Is the rotation mechanism adjustable?

What should I do if the rods feel stuck?
