Speed Grid Attachment
11 commentsHonlPhoto Speed Grids are easy to attach to your flash.
When attaching the required Speed Strap to your flash, wrap it about 1/2" beyond the flash lens to allow adequate air space between the grid and lens (as shown here on a Nikon SB800):
Then, for a snug fit:
1.) With the HonlPhoto Speed Strap in place, lay grid on a flat surface and rest strobe on honeycomb.
2.) Create a slight tension on velcro straps by pressing inward on each side of strobe (as detailed in Fig. 3).
3.) This shows the proper positioning of the velcro strap to assure a firm placement on your strobe. Having tension on this part of the velcro will assure a firm fit.
4.) Do not attach velcro as shown here, or Speed Grid will not hug your strobe properly.

I suppose the air space between the grid and the lens is for cooling? Or is that because the grid may melt?

Hey David - I ordered these via Adorama and was really looking forward to using them, but Adorama's ordering department shipped it via a new shipping system where the package first travels by UPS and then via USPS. I was promised that it would arrive today but the actual delivery date is three days from now. I am very disappointed by Adorama. I really wish you could have chosen to work with B&H Photo Video instead. Sorry for the ranting - your products are first-rate and I love them. Thanks!

David, these seem like really useful products. Personally it would be nice to have some examples for each product available... without/with kind of things. Thanks.
