MagRing 2 Softbox Mount - Fast Magnetic Speedlight Adapter

In this review the MagRing 2 Softbox Mount is evaluated for photographers who want a faster, lighter way to use speedlites with larger modifiers. The bottom line: it makes attaching a MagBox-style softbox to a hot-shoe flash almost effortless and drastically speeds workflow when switching between on-camera and off-camera setups. Built to work with the MagGrip or MagGrip 2, the MagRing 2 is especially useful for shooters who value modular systems and need to mount one or two speedlights quickly without extra stands.

Key Features

• Magnetic speedring: Quick magnetic attachment lets a speedlight snap into the softbox mount in about a second when used with a MagGrip or MagGrip 2.
• Round-head compatibility: The redesigned ring is optimized to accept both round-head flashes and standard rectangular speedlites for broad flash support.
• Dual-flash capability: You can mount two flashes at once to increase output for overpowering bright ambient light or to reduce recycle time.
• Modular system: Works with existing MagMod 2 modifiers so you can add grids, gels, or the MagBox without removing flashes from the ring.
• Lightweight redesign: Smaller and lighter than prior designs, it reduces bulk while retaining the same magnetic performance.

Who It's For

The MagRing 2 is best for portrait, event, and location photographers who rely on speedlights and want a compact alternative to strobes. It suits pros and advanced enthusiasts who already use or plan to buy the MagMod 2 modular ecosystem and a MagGrip on their flashes.

Photographers who require full studio strobes or those who do not use MagGrip mounts should look elsewhere; the MagRing 2 requires a MagGrip or MagGrip 2 on the flash to work as intended and does not include those pieces.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Fast magnetic mounting that saves time during fast-paced shoots.
• Ability to accept two flashes gives near-strobe power without studio gear.
• Compatible with existing MagMod 2 modifiers for flexible light shaping.
• Optimized shape for modern round-head flashes improves fit and security.

Cons

• Requires a separate MagGrip or MagGrip 2 on each flash, which are sold separately.
• Some users report mixed feelings about perceived security when using very large modifiers; check your setup before critical shoots.
