Westcott Quick-Mount S-Bracket 2 for FJ80 FJ200 AD200 - Secure Bowens

In this review the Westcott Quick-Mount S-Bracket 2 is evaluated as a practical solution for photographers who need a fast, secure way to attach compact flashes or LEDs to Bowens S-type modifiers. The bottom line: it is best for working shooters and studio users who want a reliable, no-fuss adapter that supports larger modifiers without sagging. Its unibody reinforced nylon design and integrated locking strap make setup quick and stable, so users who value speed and repeatable positioning will find this bracket especially useful.

Key Features

• Fast Mounting: The bracket lets users lock a speedlight or LED into place with no assembly or extra plates, saving time during shoots.
• Unibody Stability: Reinforced nylon construction with an integrated locking strap provides a secure hold for modifiers up to 20 lbs so gear stays put.
• Universal Fit: The adjustable strap fits round and rectangular heads from about 2.7 to 3.4 in diameter, accommodating most compact flashes and LEDs.
• Multiple Shoe Mounts: Three perimeter cold shoes plus a center mount allow combining up to four speedlights to increase output or balance light.
• Bowens & Umbrella Ready: Built-in Bowens mount and a 9mm umbrella receptacle with locking screw support softboxes, beauty dishes, and umbrellas securely.

Who It's For

The S-Bracket 2 is aimed at portrait, product, and event photographers who use compact strobes or COB LEDs and want to pair them with Bowens S-type modifiers quickly. Its low weight and 5/8 in stand compatibility make it a good fit for both small studio rigs and on-location setups where speed matters.

Photographers who require mounting full-size monolights or very heavy custom modifiers should look elsewhere, since the bracket is optimized for compact flashes and LEDs within its specified size and power range rather than large monoblocks or unusual head shapes.
