Photoflex Speed Ring Octo Connector f/Paul Bu... Reviews

Yes I would purchase again.

The product works as advertised; actually easier to get the soft box rods in than with my old Speedotron rings. I was concerned about some reviews indicating the Einstein ring attachment was not always secure so I drilled a small hole in the Octo connector to attach an aluminum rod that fits into the Einstein umbrella holder. I'm confident my softbox will not separate from the Einstein.

Does it's job, but...

Works fine mechanically. Finish wears off constantly, leaving smudge and paint on everything (fingers, equipement, my lunch...)
