Comments about Photoflex Speed Ring for X-Small LiteDome:
I use this with soft boxes from small to medium with speed lights. It only works with rectangular soft boxes, not octagonal ones. It isn't quite as sturdy as the equivalent Chimera, but is less expensive.

The description is a little odd - this does work with a medium soft box. It's functional and solid, I haven't had any problems with it.

Comments about Photoflex Speed Ring for X-Small LiteDome:
This product works just as expected. I was initially disappointed when I realized it didn't come with the soft-box, however once I received this piece it was all that I expected it to be. It's a little difficult to get all 4 rods of the soft-box into, that's why I give it 4 stars. Other than that great all around product.

Comments about Photoflex Speed Ring for X-Small LiteDome:
I used this speed ring for an off camera speed light set-up. There was a bit of fabricating on my end, but the cost of this speed ring made it worth the extra effort required.
I bought a 1/4" aluminum rod, drilled a 3/16" hole through it and attached a hot shoe mount to the rod. Add speed light to rod assembly and insert this into the umbrella mount and your good to go.

Comments about Photoflex Speed Ring for X-Small LiteDome:
Awesome speedring and the best part is that it fits almost any speedlight! Very well built and is secure and strong for mounting any sized softbox. It would be a bonus if this were made out of a metal material as opposed to a hard plastic, just to add to the durability.
