I ordered another one of these lights and just received it in the mail today. Just curious if anyone else's accessories (battery and charger) came in ziploc bags. Can't remember on my first one but it just seems odd. Also the finish in some areas of this unit seems a little scuffed up.. Almost like it was used possibly. I'll try to add some photos. I'm on my phone at the moment.

Bowens adapter but it was a few mm's too large I had to grind it down to fit the back of my 47" Octa.

This is the one I bought (recommended by another member)

PERFECT fit for a PCB modifier.

Here's the adapter that I use to mount my PCB/AB softboxes to my Bowens mount lights:

http://www.amazon.com …0&linkId=OHIMD4​VWMZGWD56K (external link)

Can this be used to mount PCB 47" octabox, also PCB 22" BD?

And is $479 the current price for Rovelight 600B? Any way to get the previous $399 deal?

Thank you
