139mm (5.47") Speed Rings for Paul C Buff Softbox

Excellent Product After Slight Modification

While this product worked perfectly to convert Paul C Buff soft boxes to FJ Westcott FJ 400II and FJ 800 strobes some it did require some modification to work. The base (black ring appears to be epoxied or press fit on to the steel mount that attaches to the Softbox. Any material protruding past the black adapter ring will need to be removed or it will not be allowed to drop down far enough to allow the adapter to twist enough to engage the locking mechanism on the strobe. A simple fix is the file or sand off any excess material which will then allow for proper engagement. Easy fix and the product works great. Hopefully this will be resolved during the manufacturing process.

Love it

This speed ring has given me the capability of using my Paul C Buff Octabox on my Bowens mount video lights. The switch over requires a screw driver and a bit of time but for me, it’s worth it.

Fits well, solves a problem

I’ve got two massive Paul C Buff soft boxes, and it’s a little tricky to get them to stay on the Buff lights. But putting a Bowens speed ring insert in them lets me use them more reliably for a shoot, because I have plenty of lights with Bowens mounts. The inserts fit perfectly in the Buff modifiers and solve a non-trivial problem for me. This was my 2nd one, and I might buy more. Thanks, Cheetah! Steve
