Profoto Speedring question
May 18, 2020 17:12:10 #
I just bought 2 x old style Profoto RF 3x4 Softboxes for Protofoto Strobes and need Speedrings for them. The rods are not standard rods they are 7mm. Has anyone bought aftermarket speedrings for thier Profoto boxes?

I have a couple That are I think Pro Master brand to use Profoto boxes on alien bees lights. Work good and we’re about $49 each...

Thanks for your reply. Are yours Alien Bees - Profoto Softbox speedrings?

Mine are Profoto softboxes I purchased new in late 2016. I have the Profoto Speedlite ring which I like and it is typical Profoto build quality but about $175. I purchased the alien bees lights used later and wanted to use my Profoto softboxes with them too. I found the ProMaster rings that fit the softboxes and mounted to the Alien Bee mount at my local camera store, Biggs Photo, in Charlotte. I can send you a photo if you want of the ring with softbox mounted.

Sure! I need to look into getting a speed ring I like the look in the eyes of the models

This is the Profoto Speedring that I was referring to. It holds speedlights and Profoto softboxes. Profoto quality and price...
At you talking about this or a ring light?

No this is great.. I needed an option for my speedlights as I get faster sync rates than my pro strobes which is needed for dark action shots like jumping with colored powder for example.
I need to invest in a ring light soon and thankfully they don't seem to cost as much as my strobes.

Ok, I got my Profoto gear from B&H. That holder comes with 4 mounts, 2 for Speedlites and 2 for triggers. My Canon 600s have the triggers built in so I have used the 2 trigger holders to hold 2 more speedlites for a total of 4. It is a very versatile piece in my view.The outer ring also rotates so you can easily angle you boxes if you need to. You can fit 2 speedlights inside the ring, maybe 3 but it would get pretty tight. I have a 7’ parabolic umbrella I use with 3-4 speedlites sometimes. Let me know if you have any questions...
