The original Bowens-designed Quickring is designed to make the assembly (and disassembly!) of any square, rectangular or hexagonal Bowens softbox easier than ever. The Quickring is made of all metal construction, and the lock lever will remain secure during normal use. The advanced design allows the center ring to be released and rotated, which relieves tension of the support rods as the box is being assembled. Simply unlock the adaptor ring, insert all four rods in to the Quickring, then lock the adaptor ring back in place. The softbox is now assembled and ready to use.
