Article no.: 28147
This Nanlux speed ring fits the Octagonal Softbox 150cm (SB150O) with an NLM mount and includes electronic contacts that add a layer of safety when used with the 2400B. The electronic contacts use modifier recognition to help prevent accidental or unsafe configurations. As a result, the system helps keep your lighting setup within safe parameters and reduces the risk of mishaps to both equipment and users.
Use this speed ring specifically with the Nanlux SB150O octagonal softbox that uses the NLM mount. Additionally, the electronic-contact functionality is active when the speed ring is paired with the 2400B. Therefore, this combination enables the modifier recognition features described above.
The electronic contacts communicate modifier type and presence. Consequently, the lighting system can identify whether an appropriate modifier is attached and help prevent setups that could be unsafe. This reduces the chance of mishaps and supports the well-being of both equipment and users during operation.
By using this speed ring with compatible Nanlux equipment, you maintain a safer lighting environment. In practice, this means fewer setup-related errors and increased confidence that your modifier and head combination is recognized and validated by the system.
Question: Will the electronic contacts work with any softbox?
Answer: The electronic contacts are designed for use with the Octagonal Softbox 150cm (SB150O) that uses the NLM mount. Their safety functions operate when the speed ring is used with compatible fixtures such as the 2400B.
Question: What does "modifier recognition" mean in practice?
Answer: Modifier recognition lets the system detect the presence and type of an attached modifier. As a result, the system can help prevent mismatched or unsafe configurations by validating the attached modifier against the fixture's parameters.
Question: Does this speed ring itself prevent all accidents?
Answer: The speed ring’s electronic contacts add an important safety layer by enabling modifier recognition and configuration checks when paired with compatible fixtures like the 2400B. However, safe handling and proper setup procedures remain essential to minimize all risks.
