Overview

The Profoto 101210 Speedring is a key component of the Profoto Off-Camera Flash system, serving as the link between your B1 or B2 flash head and any OCF softbox. Its patent-pending snap-on design replaces the traditional approach of threading support rods through fabric channels, allowing you to mount and dismount softboxes in seconds. This makes it particularly valuable for photographers working on location where setup speed directly impacts the efficiency of a shoot. Color-coded holes on the speedring align with corresponding markers on OCF softboxes, removing any guesswork during assembly.

Once mounted, the speedring's classic Profoto rubber collar allows full 360-degree rotation, so you can adjust the orientation of your softbox to shape the light exactly as needed—whether you want a vertical, horizontal, or angled spread—without removing the modifier from the head. The compact and lightweight construction ensures it doesn't add unnecessary weight or bulk to your kit, an important consideration for off-camera flash setups that prioritize portability. Keep in mind that this speedring is exclusive to the Profoto OCF ecosystem: it requires B1 or B2 flash heads and only accepts OCF-series softboxes.
