Comments about Photoflex Speed Ring for Lumedyne:
I got this product so I can use my Photoflex modifiers with my Quantum lights. Photoflex's speedrings are heavy-duty and solid. The Lumedyne plate can be removed and swapped for other plates while still using the same Photoflex modifier.
It's a true money-saver.

Does the job on a Norman 400 head. Have to use a stand for support for best results. Adapter included.

This product works exactly as designed. It is the best way to attach my Quantum T5d-R to a softbox.

Comments about Photoflex Speed Ring for Lumedyne:
I purchased the speed ring so that I could use my Westcott softboxes with my Quantum flash. The speed ring works flawlessly for doing this. It now allows me to have a convenient portable flash, yet I can use my large softboxes for extremely soft lighting.

Comments about Photoflex Speed Ring for Lumedyne:
This a good quality connector. I have only one issue with it. Since the quantum flash can't support the weight of the bigger softboxes, you have to use a lightstand "umbrella mount" to allow for tilt, swing movements. This pretty much makes the inner rotating ring worthless. Granted it will keep your flash straight up and down as you adjust the softbox through a 90 degree rotation, but it doesn't allow the rotation of the softbox without physically taking the softbox off the lightstand connector, rotating it manually, and then remounting it. Not a chore I want to do when I am working with fast moving children in my studio. If you buy this I recc. aslo buying the lightstand connector and 2 extra 3/8" stud lightstand adapters. Then mount the studs in the horizontal, vertical, and 45 degree positions in the outer ring so you can rotate the box without having to unscrew a connector and screw it into another hole on the adapter ring every time. I really wished they would revamp this so the inner ring had the lightstand mount and the outer ring could rotate freely to allow for softbox rotation. Otherwise it meets the needs and is very solid.
