The Chimera Quick Release Speed Ring makes set up and take down of lightbanks and softboxes as easy as flipping a lever. It also makes it very easy to move Lightbanks around sets, through doors, and tight spots without disassembling the Lightbank. The cost of the Quick Release Speed Ring is only a fraction more than regular "static" speed rings. The value in time savings and ease of use will more than pay for the difference.

Sturdy, well engineered ring. Quick is certainly the word to use. No more bent poles, long set up times, deformed box shapes, or unwieldly Velcro tabs to deal with. Going back to traditionally designed Speedrings just won't do anymore. Practice setting up and breaking down a few times before using it in front of a client. Rotation is silky smooth. Pole lockdown bolts will come out all the way out if you turn them enough. Definitely designed to be used with Chimera Softboxes. Experimented a little by trying it with 2 different competitors boxes, and the poles were a few inches too long causing a lot of light leakage. I do use this with a Chimera Shallow Super Pro Medium Softbox and it fits just right with the pole lengths. Chimera, please make an Octa version! I believe it will be a hit if it works close to as well as this one.
This quick release speed ring is very helpful in assembling and unassembling the soft box, especially when one has a broncolor soft box size 47 inches x 72 inches. The product is of very high quality aluminium. I have used it on my Broncolor Impact 41 strobe. I highly suggest that 2 persons should assemble it and also during the disassembling. It ceertainly requires 2 persons which ensures that you dont drop your stobes or damage anything around the strobes, especially if the soft box thqat i use with it.
