The Quick Ring from Bowens has been designed to make assembling & disassembling softboxes easy. The original Quick Ring invented by Bowens is made from an all black metal casting & features a small lock to secure the Quick Ring in place once assembled. To assemble your softbox first unlock the Quick Ring, insert all four rods as usual then simply click the Quick Ring release back in place. To disassemble just undo the Quick Ring & remove the rods. Simple.
