It's not clear if it's a mini or full size Bowens Mount. Do you know? Thank you.
Asked by: Craig
No, the SmallRig RC 100B Bi-Color LED Monolight (Standard Version) is not a full Bowens mount. However, the SmallRig Bowens Mount Adapter for RC 60B Bi-Color LED Monolight can be used to mount Bowens accessories.
