Conversion of a 1st generation 26 " Rapidbox to Bowens

Conversion of my old 26" 1st generation Rapidbox to Bowens mount. I know it doesn't do the job, but it works just fine. Connects to the ad200 or ad600 flashlight.

Pros
  • Several competitors
Cons
  • Socket required

26 " Rapidbox converted to Bowen Mount.

I ordered this in the hope of replacing the flash mount on my first generation 26" Rapidbox. It fits perfectly. Just removed 4 screws and turned it into a Bowen mount Very happy.

Pros
  • Quality construction
Cons
  • Not bad but...

Upgrade your Rapid Box

Like the previous reviewer, I used this to convert my 26" Rapid box to a Bowens mount. The factory supplied flash ring is secured with 4 screws which can be removed and replaced with a Bowens insert. In combination with the S Mount, this insert makes it easier to assemble and disassemble the Rapid Box.

Pros
  • Absolutely amazing!
Cons
  • minorities

used it to convert my Rapidbox with Flash Bracket to Bowen to take AD200

Westcott wasn't entirely honest when they created the Rapidbox switch if they didn't say it was actually the oldest Rapidbox. By removing 4 screws you can convert the bracket on your old Rapidbox to this bracket to work with Bowen compatible flashes. This insert is a little overpriced, but it's the cheapest and easiest option for my AD200.

Pros
  • Acceptable
Cons
  • Doubt

The insert is great; Installation was difficult

Once installed, this insert worked great with the Godox S-Type Bracket Bowens Mount Holder. Installation should be easy; You simply remove the four Phillips screws on the back of the Wescott Rapid Box Octa and replace the standard flash mount with a Bowens mount. The problem with my Rapid Box Octa is that the screen fabric was not placed symmetrically on the back of the unit, so the fabric covered two of the four screw heads. It was difficult to move the fabric away from the screw heads. I was…

Pros
  • Good build
