GODOX S3 FLASH BRACKET FOR BOWENS / S-TYPE MOUNTS
The Godox S3 Speedlite Bracket is a truly universal flash bracket, designed for seamless compatibility with a wide range of lighting equipment. It fits round-head on-camera flashes, like the V1 series, as well as square-head flashes, including the V860II/III and TT350 series. In addition, it perfectly accommodates outdoor flashes, such as the AD300, AD200, and AD100 series, making it the only bracket you need for multiple flash systems.
Redesigned to be smaller and lighter, the S3 is more portable and convenient to carry than ever before. Its integrated, one-piece design eliminates the need for assembly, so it's ready for immediate use. The bracket features an adjustable tilt of ±90°, allowing you to easily control the flash angle for multi-directional fill and more flexible lighting setups. This gives you greater control over how light falls on your subject, expanding creative possibilities.
Built for versatility, the S3 features a standard Bowens mount that accepts a wide range of light-shaping modifiers, from softboxes and reflectors to snoots. This system allows for quick and reliable changes to your creative setup. To protect your equipment, the bracket includes a soft, built-in silicone pad with a grid texture that firmly grips the flash, prevents slipping, and dampens vibration. The clamp spacing is also adjustable from 1.4 to 2.5" to accommodate different sizes of on-camera and outdoor flashes.
The S3's functional design extends to its mounting options. It features an integrated umbrella mount for quick installation of umbrellas, providing another layer of lighting control. At the base, a light stand mount allows you to attach the bracket directly and securely to any standard light stand, making it a robust and reliable part of your lighting kit.
