Required Speed (mounting) Rings are available separately for many manufacturers' hot lights and strobes.

Comments about Chimera Lantern Softbox with Skirt - 30" (76cm) Diameter:

I use this product for lighting portraits and weddings. I use it to add soft, supplemental light to my photos and I love it. Easier to move around than an umbrella, and also can work outside - unlike umbrellas if there is any wind!
