The HonlPhoto Speed Strap is the building block for the Speed System line of shoe-mount flash modifiers and accessories. The Speed Strap wraps around the head of any shoe mount flash unit, and has a non-slip underside, so it won't budge when attached. The strap provides a large "hook-and-loop" wraparound area, which allows you to quickly attach Speed Grids, Speed Gobos, Speed Snoots or Honl Gels.

Having made my own flash diffuser, [@] I needed a way to make sure it didn't fall off. I was looking at putting hook and loop fasteners on the flash head and then ran across Honiphoto products. This strap keeps my diffuser in place and also lets me attach gels to the front of the head, using plastic name tags holders I collect from conferences I attend and hook/loop circles. (If I can make it, why spend money, plus I get to recycle stuff.) Inexpensive and it works. If I purchase a second flash unit, I will purchase another strap along with it.

Attach firmly to your flash and let no mark on it. It also opens the possibility for multiple accessories and also lots of DIY possibilities.
A must have for any strobist that want to use light modifiers.

Comments about Honl Photo Speed Strap for Speed System:
I love this strap! It is adjustable and holds on pretty well due to a slightly sticky grip lining on the inside of it. I prefer using this over having to put velcro directly on my flash unit, and this strap works with products beyond Honl.

This is just a wide velcro strap. Overpriced for what it is. Should be a part of the gel kit.

Useful. But too pricey for what it is, although Im not a big fan of DIY so I just got two of these for gobos and grid. If u have the bucks, go for it.

Comments about Honl Photo Speed Strap for Speed System:
Does what it says, although it could be improved. a rubbery, gel-like inside surface would probably solve the problem that it could slide on the flash head. Nonetheless, if you want to use certain items, then you'll need it.

Works as designed. Great alternative to having to glue or tape things to your flash for using gels etc. Sometimes the simplest solutions are the best.

This is the foundation for many of Honl's products. It really is a good concept. I wish the strap could have some stretch so that it would fit my 430 EXii a bit better.

Comments about Honl Photo Speed Strap for Speed System:
These are designed to hold mating filters and light modifiers to a Canon or Nikon speedlite. While it's pretty easy to make your own out of some spare velcro, or just stick some velcro to the speedlite, these are removable, and exactly the right length. You can easily create your own light modifiers, too, and use with the Speed Strap.
The only downside is that they are expensive for what they are. They are reusable and won't wear out.

Comments about Honl Photo Speed Strap for Speed System:
Like all Honl products, it's very well made. Also, like all Honl products, it's a bit on the pricey side.
You could save money and just buy a big spool of velcro at your local hardware store if you're trying to save. I decided to go with the speed strap to keep the resale value of my speedlights up. I'm sure these straps will pay for themselves and stay with me for a while.
