Q&A’s
Can this smart bracket be used with the PIKA200 Pocket Flash?
- The PIKA200 will fit current batches of the Smart bracket with no problem.
What is the Maximum Size of Flash head that the Smart Bracket can accommodate?
- The S-Type Smart bracket can take flash heads up to approximately 50mm x 90nm in size.
Will the new Godox V1 speedlight work with this bracket?
- Unfortunately, the GIO1 Speedlite (Godox V1) isn't compatible with this particular adapter bracket. If you would like to use an adapter bracket, we have our L-Bracket which would allow you to use the Round Head Speedlite with Bowens S-Type fitting modifiers. The L-Bracket can be found here.
Can this product be used with the PIKA200 Extension Head?
- The PIKA200 Extension Head can be used with this SMART Bracket, but you would need to make sure that the cable is flush next to the Head in order for it to fit. Also, please note that as the cable would also be next to the Extension Head in the Bracket, this would cause it to be slightly shifted across to one side.
How do I remove the Speedring from the Smart Bracket?
- Each Smart Bracket features a Release mechanism near the top of the bracket. You would need to press this down and then turn your Speedring to remove this from the Bracket.

Product Reviews
PIXAPRO® SMART Speedlite Adapter Bracket (Bowens S-Type Fitting)
Works perfectly for my Hybrid 360 as well as my Nikon SB-800.
PIXAPRO® SMART Speedlite Adapter Bracket
Good build quality. I would recommend it to anyone who wants to use Li-ION580 or Hybrid360 with proper modifiers.
Awsome Bracket - Highly Recommended
I originally purchased this bracket to compliment the Pixapro AD360 TTL Flash, which fits very well and performs as it should. I then realized i could fit any speedlight using this bracket which is great for versatility. Plenty of movement and solid fitting and structure provide me with a great addition to my kit.
PIXAPRO® SMART Speedlite Adapter Bracket (Bowens S-Type Fitting)
I wish attachment of the the speedlight would be easier with MagMod modifiers attached...
PIXAPRO® SMART Speedlite Adapter Bracket (Bowens S-Type Fitting)
Very good design, strong, but light weight. The only thing is that the lever, adjusting angle is quite stiff and hard to change.
