Chimera Daylite softboxes are the extra deep ones( for narrow beam lights) designed to withstand a lot of heat. I just purchased one - in hopes of using it on a Prolycht 300 FS(beam angle just 55). There appears to be no speedring that would allow me to mount it to a Bowens mount. I read on the description at B&H at Adapter Rods # 4099 are required to mount it to studio flashes(like a bowens mount). But the angle of the Daylite rod holes is less than 90 degrees - not straight in like on most speedrings. Has anyone ever successfully mounted a Chimera Daylite softbox on a small bowens type mount? Are the input section of Daylight rods larger in diameter than standard Chimera rods? Any input would be nice.
