I recently acquired a used Speedotron speed ring to use on a 202vf head. I assumed that the Speedotron-brand speed ring would work with any soft box, but I noticed when it arrived that the ring has “Chimera” embossed on it. Does this mean that the ring was designed to only be used with Chimera-brand soft boxes? I tried to attach a newly purchased Lumopro soft box to the ring, but wasn’t able to do it. It looked to me that the soft box’s four metal rods would have to be flexed to the point of bending beyond repair to work with the speed ring. I plan to contact Speedotron next week to see what they say, but in the meantime, does anyone on the forum have any thoughts on this? Did Speedotron make speed rings proprietary for certain brands of light modifiers? Thanks in advance.
