SmallRig 8-Leaf Barndoors Reviews

Remember that this one's a bowens, not a bowl mount.

By Corbin
Rated 5 out of 5
Date: 2025-07-18

I'm super use to the ones that that clamp onto the bowl, (Or the reflector if you will), as opposed to connection via Bowens Mount. Doesn't make it bad, just different. The reason some people like the bowl clamp ones more is because the bowl gives it more output yet the barndoors are able to control it. With that said, I've heard someone complain to me that the bowl mounts are janky and annoying and I think that's totally valid. My advice, if you're working with lights that already have enough output as is then this guy's your best friend because once it's locked in that Bowens Mount ain't coming off! If you're working with weaker lights, then stick to the janky bowl mount ones.

These do not work with the Zhiyun MOLUS G200

By Steve

I bought these to work with my Zhiyun MOLUS G200. I learned that they do not fit. The Molus says Bowens and this says Bowens and yet they don't work together. I put my Zhiyun light on my other Bowens modifiers and it worked, and I put the SmallRig on the AD600 and it worked - but when they are paired together - somebody is off on a measurement... The build quality looks good otherwise...

What specifically prevents this from being used on the Godox AD 600 Pro?
Asked by: James
Regarding what specifically prevents the SmallRig RA-BD08 8-Leaf Barndoors from being used on the Godox AD600Pro, the most likely scenario is that the flash tube is larger than the length of the reflector adapter, so even though it will fit on the Bowens front accessory mount, the grid will touch the flash tube, preventing it from functioning properly.
