Compact and Easy to Use
The S3 bracket has been redesigned to be more compact and lighter than its predecessor, making it easier to carry and store. Its one-piece construction means there is no assembly required, so you can get set up quickly and focus on shooting.
Universal Flash Compatibility
This bracket is designed to work with a wide range of flashes, including round-head speedlites, traditional rectangular speedlites and bare-bulb battery flashes. It is compatible with popular models from Godox as well as other major brands, making it a versatile choice for mixed lighting setups.
Flexible Mounting with Spacer Blocks
The removable spacer blocks allow you to adapt the bracket to different types of flash. Use both blocks for rectangular speedlites, one block for round-head flashes, or remove them entirely for larger battery-powered units. This flexibility makes it easy to switch between different lighting setups.

By adding a Bowens S-Type mount to your speedlite, the S3 bracket lets you use a wide range of modifiers including softboxes, beauty dishes, snoots and reflectors. This gives you far more control over your lighting compared to standard speedlite accessories.
Improved Control and Stability
The stepless tilting mechanism allows you to angle your light precisely, while the upgraded umbrella holder includes a locking screw to keep your umbrella securely in place. The bracket holds your flash firmly without putting pressure on the hot shoe, helping to protect your equipment.
Compatibility Notes
