Excellent Adapter for Video Lighting

This adapter is a must-have if you're looking for interchangeable options for your video lighting. According to my experience, this product is perfect for those who own multiple monolights from different manufacturers. It's a great fit for my electronics and works like a charm with different brands. The construction is high quality and it's easy to use. The only downside is that it's a bit pricey, but it's definitely worth it.

Pros
  • Easy and quick to use.
Cons
  • Requires a separate speedring for each type of softbox you use.

Pros
  • Adapter for Bowens S-Type speedring mount
Cons
  • Not bad, but...

I've searched the forums and countless other sites to find a way to take the headlights apart and convert them to a Bowens system, but to no avail. Then I just…

Pros
  • Bracket Attachment: Balcar to Bowens
Cons
  • Not Bad
