MagMod MagRing 2

The MagMod MagRing 2 is a magnetic speed ring for attaching MagMod MagBox softboxes to hot shoe flashes. The MagRing 2 provides an efficient solution for doing this. It fits either a single round head flash or two standard ones side by side. An optional MagGrip 2 accessory is additionally required for attaching the flash. The MagGrip is a small silicone accessory that secures over the flash head and lets you magnetically snap the flash unit onto the MagRing 2.

Installation of the flash takes only a few seconds. Open the two doors of this MagRing, magnetically attach your flash unit(s), and shut the doors. Your softbox can then be mounted on the front, also magnetically. All MagBox Pro softboxes are compatible.

Before securing the softbox, you can also attach various MagMod modifiers to the front of this speed ring. For example, with your flash unit already installed, you can magnetically attach the MagGrid 2 honeycomb grid to the front of the speed ring, and then mount your softbox over the grid.

The entire setup can then be mounted on a light stand using an optional MagShoe 2. The MagRing has a native shoe mount. The MagShoe offers a matching shoe mount on top and has a light stand mount on the bottom.

MagMod MagBox Pro Reviews

love it! so fast to setup and tear down

By Patrick
Rated 5 out of 5
Date: 2025-01-29

So I've used this on 4 shoots with multiple setups and teardowns and it's worked phenomenally. I connect them to my Westcott FJ400 lights with Bowens mount. You do need to buy MagMod's Bowens adapter in order to connect to Bowens mount lights. But these are the fastest softboxes to setup of all my softboxes (Westcott's own RapidBox as well as some Chinese knockoffs). The best part is how you apply the front fabric. It tucks away into a pouch when not in use, but when you want to use it, just zipper it. No feeding clips through hoops. No Velcro. No button pressing.

Excellent Product

Great product got an open box display model and is a very solid product. Buy the mount if own Godox flash units. I will be switching all soft boxes to this brand.

Do the MagMod Speedring Gels fit when using the Godox AD 400 Pro and AD 600 Pro or do they stick out too far?
Asked by: Justin
I have the AD200, AD300 and the 600. The AD200 fits in the speedlite ring (MagRing) and the circular gels work fine. The AD300 with the Bowens adapter added works great in the MagRing Bowens mount with the gels. When I use my AD600 I wrap the strobe element with gel paper due to the issue of this element protruding too far into the MagBox. Not a huge problem.
