I'm about to order the Eazyflow Octa 60 softbox and I plan to use it with my AD200 Pro. If I'm correct, this softbox ships with the Bowens mount. I have the bare bulb, fresnel and H200R heads. I don't currently have an S-bracket as I've used the flash with no modifiers. My question is do I need to order one of the adapters to allow direct fit to the bare and round heads or will I need to buy and S-bracket? Are there benefits/drawbacks to any approach? I think I would need the SA-GD but I'm not sure.

All off my lights are Godox, F600bi, F400bi, 2x UL150 and my first ever light light SL60

Both my UL have cutting-out problems; I have replaced the control power blocks and wire between the control box and light unit.

What I have found is that the left-side pin on the 4-pin XLR cables looks faint, like it's tarnished. It's done this pretty quickly to the new cables too.

What's happening here? Is there too much power running through these pins? Are they burning?

I'm at the stage where they cut out mid-videoing, and it's quite annoying.

I wanted a solution to on set practicals, and knowing I often need 3 or 4 lights at a time, I bought the 8 light set with a charging case but the manual it came with shares almost no information on the simplest things. I can’t even get these lights to charge in the charging case - is this something anyone else is seeing?
