Product Information
Full details
The Broncolor Speedring - Elinchrom is an essential tool for professional photographers looking to cross-integrate their lighting systems. It is primarily designed for photographers who already own Broncolor softboxes or reflectors but utilize Elinchrom lighting heads, providing a robust, reliable bridge between the two ecosystems. While it allows for seamless light modifier attachment, users should note that it is a specialized adapter and does not provide power or electronic communication between the light head and the modifier.

FAQs

Can I leave the speedring attached to the softbox?

Is this made of plastic or metal?

Troubleshooting

Ensure the light head mount is not bent and verify that the adapter is not cross-threaded during insertion.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the adapter, ensure your lighting head is powered off during the attachment process. First, attach your Broncolor modifier rods into the designated holes on the speedring. Once the softbox is assembled, align the lugs on the speedring with the notches on your Elinchrom lighting head mount. Insert the ring and rotate clockwise until you hear or feel the locking mechanism engage. For care, store the speedring in a protective case to prevent impact damage to the locking lugs. Periodically wipe the bayonet surfaces with a dry, microfiber cloth to remove dust or debris, which ensures smooth operation during every shoot.
