Godox PRO Multifunctional S-Type Bracket Bowens Mount Holder for Speedlite Flash Snoot Softbox

Product Information

It looks like I got 9.9 mm for the height of the lug, where you got 9.7. I think that's where the difference lies. I have scrape marks across the top of it where I forced it to go on. All of them are like within .05 of each other. Take the Nanlite Forza 60's power and versatility to a new level with the included Forza 60 Battery Grip. By no longer relying on light stands for support, the Forza 60 can now be used anywhere and everywhere, perfect for run and gun filmmaking, creative effects and event photography. Bowens have had 2 different types of fitting during their history (as far as I know). The older 'L' style hasn't been made for quite some time and the 'S' fit has now become the norm. Pretty anything you buy that is descibed as Bowens compatible will fit this adapter.

Connects to the umbrella/softbox side of standard speedrings including INTERFIT, PROFOTO RFI, PHOTTIX and many more, placing the light inside your modifier So what’s changed now? Well, WEX state here that the new Bowens XMT heads will not be made in the old Bowens factory (presumably that no longer exists) but instead the XMT specs will now be built in the Godox factory. It’s a small difference and it could mean nothing at all. But time will tell if the more consistent XMT head was due to its specifications or a slightly tighter quality assurance in the older Bowens factory. Peace of Mind The Forza 60 LED from Nanlite is a monolight style light fixture with remarkable light output relative to its small size. Weighing only 1.83 lbs, the Forza 60 employs a COB LED module to output 18820 Lux of 5600K daylight-balanced light at 1 meter. All while maintaining a high CRI/TLCI of 98/95, ensuring accurate colour rendition. GO HAND HELD: The included Battery Grip enables approx. 1 hour of cord-free runtime at 100% brightness when equipped with 2x Sony L style NP-F750 batteries, plus by no longer relying on light stands for support, the Forza 60B can now be used anywhere and everywhere, perfect for run and gun filmmaking, creative effects and event photography.With one small easy height adjustment, the same adapter can be used to mount either the NEO 3 or AEOS 2 COLOR PERFECTION - The output of a light is important, but without color accuracy, a ton of time and money will be lost in post-production. The Forza 60 features a CRI/TLCI of 98/95 meaning color reproduction will be precise.

Bowens as a company was founded in 1923 and by the 1950s it was one of the largest of its kind in Europe. The company saw great success for many years and was well known for producing incredibly reliable and durable studio lighting heads that were the workhorse of many a busy studio. In the past, I was a major part of Team Bowens which essentially means I would test their new products, write articles for them and provide training to the public as well as their distributors around the globe. But that affiliation abruptly ended when Bowens went into liquidation in 2017. I know there was a lot of anger at the time from employees both here and in China regarding the abrupt Bowens closure, but I can only say that I received all the money I was owed for the work I provided for them, therefore I can’t comment on that. My point here is that I have no ill will towards them. Sony NP-F Style (Via BH-FZ60 Battery Grip) Battery Included: No Battery Required: No Charge Time to Full (Hours): Battery Dependant Charge Time to 80% (Hours): Battery Dependant Runtime @ 100% Brightness (Hours): 14.8V Sony V-Mount 150WH: 1.83 hours I have a similar, but different adapter to this that allows the speedlight to be mounted horizontally (which makes things a bit easier if you're using CLS / ETTL etc.)... works like a dream.My suggestion is to buy a second hand L type reflector, and modify it to fit in the speedring adapter that Bowens uses for its softboxes (don't know about other manufacturers, but is the case with the Bowens Lumiair softboxes) The brightness of a light is important, but without colour accuracy, a ton of time and money will be lost in post-production. The Forza 60 features a CRI of 98 and a TLCI of 95 meaning you can shoot with confidence knowing the colour reproduction will be precise. Continued access to adjust light settings on touch screen or wirelessly control from the Rotolight App Godox was previously involved with the manufacture of Bowens products prior to the closure, but the Bowens factory was separate to the Godox production line.’

Another thing I was surprised about was WEX’s openness about Godox. To those that don’t know, prior to Bowens closing, Godox actually made the Bowens heads for many years. We as Team Bowens weren’t supposed to talk about it at the time but we also knew it was no secret. Here WEX openly says that Godox will be making the new batch of Bowens lights from the Godox factory.Bowens was certainly struggling and in June 2016, the German investment company AURELIUS bought Bowens. The following year, in July 2017, Bowens went into liquidation and AURELIUS closed it down completely shortly thereafter. We’ve heard nothing from them until now. So Where Does WEX Photographic Fit Into All of This? Godox is the chosen production partner but the new gear will be produced to the pre-existing Bowens specifications.’ The Forza 60B is directly compatible with a purpose-built line of Forza 60 light modifiers, while an optional Bowens mount adapter (sold separately) expands compatibility to a massive selection of light modifiers, including but not limited to Nanlite's line of full-sized softboxes and umbrellas. Let me know how you get one with 1 or 2 speedlights in a 150cm octa... I've not used speedlights with a modifier this big. I'd be interested to know how you get on.
