| Post subject: | Question about the On-Axis Speed Ring Adapter ... |
Will the on-axis speed ring adapter for the PLM V2 be an optional accessory? If so, is there any chance it might be made available in advance of the long-delayed PLMs? I ask because I think it would be ideal to mate the adapter with a small, short-shafted shoot-through umbrella like, perhaps, the 43" Westcott collapsible or a chopped down Photoflex 30". That might be a match made in heaven. Dave F. |

The on axis speedring mount is an integral part of the V2 design and is not adaptable to other umbrella designs. VII will ship with both the on-axis speedring mount for Buff or Elinchrom lights as well as a 7mm off axis conventional mount. Either may be used. |

Seems like an opportunity missed to expand the usefulness of the on-axis mount. With the additional hardware included with the V2 PLMs, will prices be adjusted upward once they're ready to ship? I have a few pre-ordered. Dave F. |

We're not about missed opportunities . . . we're after optimal design . . . can't just stick the speedring on another umbrella just like you can't just stick a Corvette engine in a Yugo. |

This should give you some idea of what the speedring mount looks like http://www.robgalbraith.com/bins/conten ... 0050-10630 If I public CAD drawings I get jumped on for not publishing real pictures. No suspense intended. |
