• Rotatable steel ring: The ring rotates to help control light output while fabric or gels are attached.
• Anti-kinking spiral top cable gland: Designed to prevent the cable from loosening under vibration.

Cable, Plug and Mounting Details

The bracket comes ready to mount and power. It includes a 90 cm cable made from 3C*14AWG (2.08 mm) and terminates in a standard Edison plug. Underneath the round mounting plate, Kupo pre-drilled two 1/4’’-20 and two 3/8’’-16 threaded holes to offer multiple attachment options to grip equipment.

Included hardware and mounting options:
