Question Universal Speedrings - 03-24-2006, 11:06 AM


i'm looking into softbox pricing, and there are lots of off-brand softboxes that come with "universal speedrings". anyone know how these things work? are they truly universal? the off-brands cost significantly less than what my brand (photogenic) puts out. anyone out there have experience with using light modifiers that are a different brand than your monolights?

thanks!

I highly suggest buying speedrings from your light manufacturer. Those 'universal' jobbies are usually, well, junk. JMHO.
