Full details
The Broncolor Speedring is an essential adapter for professional photographers who rely on Broncolor flash systems to mount light modifiers like softboxes and reflectors securely. It is designed for studio and location photographers who prioritize structural integrity and speed during equipment assembly. While it provides a robust and reliable connection, users should note that it is specifically engineered for compatibility exclusively with Broncolor-mount flash units and accessories, limiting its use in mixed-brand lighting setups.

How do I know if this fits my flash head?

Troubleshooting
Modifier feels loose on the flash head
Ensure the locking mechanism on your flash head is fully engaged and that no debris is trapped in the mounting flange.
Difficulty inserting rods into the speedring
Check that you are following the correct color-coding sequence and ensure the softbox fabric is not twisted or under excessive tension.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the speedring, align the modifier rods with the corresponding color-coded holes on the rear face of the ring. Ensure all rods are seated firmly before tensioning the softbox fabric. This adapter is exclusively compatible with Broncolor flash heads and Broncolor-mount softboxes. For care, wipe down the ring with a dry cloth after sessions to remove dust. Always store the unit inside the provided soft carrying case when not in use to avoid impact damage to the mounting tabs, and avoid using harsh chemical cleaners on the color-coded indicators to ensure they remain clearly visible for future use.
