I am interested in picking some of these inserts up. What speed ring brands take the 152mm insert?

I was wondering this, too.

I believe the legecy PCB speedrings are 6 inches. Any others?

Early in this thread tetrode said the speedring in the pic was some sort of Chinese one (I thouht it was a PCB until I read that). Anyone have a link to that speedring?

Is it this one? Sure looks similar to a pcb. Anyone tried one of these?

I have several of these inserts and use them with Fotodiox EZ-Pro foldable soft boxes.
I think they are a bit too big for Buff foldable. Naturally its possible to change the speedring if its a fit together frame.

Do they fit perfectly on your EZ-Pro? I just bought http://www.amazon.com …o01_s00_i00?ie=​UTF8&psc=1 (external link) and it's too thin and it wobbles all around. I contacted Fotodiox and they sent me a smaller version that doesn't fit at all and still too thin.

Would you please post a picture of the speedrings you use?

The Kacey adapters I have work like a charm with my EZ-Pro boxes. There were some washers on the screws and then the one thumb screw that can be loosened to rotate the box. Then tightened.
Never had a problem with them being wobbly.

Thanks for the quick reply!
That's odd, I'll take some pictures to show you, originally I got it with the speedlight adapter that came with a robust speedring, I think Calumet and it's really thick and fit snugly with the washers. But the AB ones are really thin and move around. I have two Kacey adapters and are the same thickness.
