Westcott Quick Mount S-Bracket for FJ80, FJ200, AD200 to Connect Bowens Mount Softboxes and Light Modifiers

Great product from Westcott. Strong, secures lighting and modifiers. Can use with all of my flashes . Best part is the mount for umbrellas with a screw to lock secure in place !

me encanto su funcinalidad

While it’s great for my Westcott Octa S Rapid Box, I don’t feel that confident it can take the weight of mt Octa M over time. If there’s sagging lust with the Octa S, I’m not going to chance the Otca M. Using the Octa M, in order for the ffront to be 90 degree to the floor, the bracket has to be angled up to compensate for the sag. I’m going to try the Goddox S2 bracket.

I replaced the mounting ring on my 26inch Octa with the Bowens mount. Fits perfectly

Bought this mount less than 6 months ago and it kept getting looser and looser the more I used it until one day, the entire mount disconnected off the light during a photoshoot. Now whenever I screw it spins endlessly but never tightens. Such a waste of money.

I like Westcott products a lot...I use their FJ400 all the time and recently bought two FJ200s and some other-brand strip boxes (with grids) for side-lighting. Because the FJ200s don't use Bowens I also bought this item (Westcott QuickMount bracket) but only one as I wasn't certain how it would work.When I mounted it to a 48 x12 Bowens mount stripbox it sagged down just a bit. The issue is the design...as you can see in the images, the Bowens fitting on this clamp is hinged to the stand whereas the light is attached directly. As a result, if the weight of the box pulls the box down it is no longer on-axis with the strobe (they don't move together). It may make no practical difference to the output but I would feel better if it stayed on-axis. And...as others have noted, the bump created by the FJ200 battery restricts how far forward you can place the light.So...as an experiment (ready to return it if the FJ200 didn't fit) I bought the Godox equivalent style clamp. The FJ200 fit fine and could be securely and safely clamped into the Bowens mount. Because the Bowens mount and the clamp are linked, if the weight of the soft box pulls it down, the light and box move together and the light stays on-axis. I won't return the Westcott because I like their customer service and other products a lot but, if I was doing this again I would buy two Godox clamps instead.

The only issue I have is that I have to unscrew the plate each time to change batteries on attached external flash, which is time consuming. It's very secure, but will opt for an S-bracket without the screw plate.

Study and quality build as most Westcott products.

Good product. I am liking the Arca Swiss plate for attaching my flash unit, Godox AD200Pro. Yes, it would have been nice if the adjustments & size would have also accommodated the Godox AD300Pro. But, understandable why it does not.Delivery was prompt. A good purchase for me.

This bracket is very well built with precise machinery. It will last for years without giving any problem. It does give any stress on the strobe. And very easy to adjust.
