Since its release the first generation Phottix HS Speed Mount has sold countless numbers. It has been one of the “go to” products for shooters looking to use Phottix sofboxes and beauty dishes with hot shoe flashes. Making a good product even better - Phottix is proud to announce the HS Speed Mount II. The v2 offers the same main functions – a locking Bowens-compatible adapter to mount softboxes and other accessories using compatible speed rings. What makes the HS Speed Mount II even better is the way flashes can be mounted. The mounting system has been revised. Using an adapter and strap hot shoe flashes can be mounted horizontally from the flash body – taking stress off the hot shoe. The mount is adjustable for different sized flashes. The HS Speed Mount II, features a reversible L Bracket, allowing flashes to be mounted vertically, using the included cold shoe mount, or directly to a trigger using the 1/4x20 mounting screw. The Phottix Varos II BG Umbrella Holder - better than ever. Designed to be rugged and durable, the Varos II BG is a great choice for the larger and heavier Phottix Para-Pro Umbrellas. Changing angles is as easy as loosening and tightening a knob. The Phottix Varos II BG features an adjustable cold shoe to mount flashes or flash triggers. The Phottix Varos II BG features an adjustable cold shoe to mount flashes. The cold shoe is removable, allowing access to a reversible 3/8” / 1/4" threaded mount. The Varos II BG mounts to a light stand or tripod with a 3/4” female lug or a reversible 3/8” / 1/4" threaded insert. A patented umbrella clamp to keep umbrella shafts more secure and damage free. The Phottix Varos II series – the perfect compliment to Phottix Odin, Strato II Multi and Ares Flash Trigger systems. The HS Speed Mount II is designed to be used with the Phottix Varos BG Umbrella Swivel. It can be mounted to other umbrella adapters with a 5/8” lug.
