Hai guys,

I need one of these

ring.jpg


For those that don't know, it's for my softbox. It's what the 4 rods connect to then that connects to the light.

Now I have no idea

A) The proper name for one is
B) Where I'm going to find a replacment (lost one of them somehow)

Nor does it have a part number on it, making it even more difficult.

For those that don't know I have Elinchrom Prolinca 250W Lights and 2 matching branded softboxes (Elinchrom Prolinca lights only work with their accessories)

Now, apart from going to Elinchrom (which I emailed a week ago and still no reply :() where the hell am I going to find one of these? :)

Any help massively appreciated :)

I'm waiting for a reply from my supplier for one! It is not identical and is in fact made from aluminium (I think) but basically is a Bowens S fit softbox bracket.
 
Right, I got a response with Elinchrom with a portalite model number, after googling that I've had no luck. I rang TFC, they didn't have one.

Then I remembered, my mates Dad is an engineer and owns his own company etc, so he's going to make me one :) - result!

Yes, that's a portalite speed-ring which used to sit in the Portalite/Prolinca softboxes which came in the Elinchrom/Prolinca flash sets. I've got three of them.

Unfortunately, to get one secondhand is going to be difficult because anybody selling one will be selling it with a softbox, unless it is ripped or torn or something.

If the TFC cant help, then.....

TP is a bit slow tonight...

If you do find a souce, let us know.

I use them as spill kills on very large umbrellas.
 
Viewfinder Photography have them for nearly all makes of studio Flash. Give them a call and i'm sure they will help you out.
 
If you do find a source 2.....

They are also the perfect size to fit in the back of a Ebay/Ezybox softbox, the type that spring open. I have two and find them perfect for that.
 
What are you willing to pay?

I have found them at £22 but you get a free softbox :)
