Product Description
The Godox ML-GB MLII Bowens Mount Adapter is a practical mounting solution that bridges the gap between Godox's proprietary ML-series mount and the industry-standard Bowens S-Type system. This precision-engineered adapter transforms your Godox ML60II Bi or ML100Bi light into a platform compatible with the vast ecosystem of Bowens mount modifiers - from softboxes and beauty dishes to reflectors, grids, and snoots. Made from durable metal construction, this adapter provides a secure, wobble-free connection that maintains proper alignment between your light and modifier, ensuring optimal light quality and reliable performance.
This adapter is essential for photographers and videographers who own the ML60II Bi or ML100Bi lights and want access to the extensive range of Bowens-compatible light shaping tools. Whether you're a portrait photographer with an existing collection of Bowens modifiers from previous lighting systems, a videographer building a versatile lighting kit that works across multiple brands, or a content creator who wants the flexibility to rent or borrow modifiers without compatibility concerns, the ML-GB adapter removes the limitations of a proprietary mount system.
The Godox ML-series lights offer impressive output, colour accuracy, and portability, but their proprietary native mount restricts you to Godox's own modifier ecosystem. Whilst Godox produces excellent modifiers, the Bowens S-Type mount has become the de facto industry standard, with hundreds of compatible products available from numerous manufacturers at various price points. Without an adapter, you're locked into a single brand's modifier selection, unable to use existing gear you may already own, and limited when working with rental equipment or collaborating with other photographers who use different systems.
The ML-GB adapter eliminates these restrictions entirely. It converts the Godox native mount on your ML60II Bi or ML100Bi into a female Bowens S-Type receiver, instantly granting compatibility with the enormous range of Bowens-mount modifiers available worldwide. Whether you want to attach a large octagonal softbox for portrait work, a gridded beauty dish for fashion photography, a deep parabolic reflector for dramatic lighting, or a snoot for precise accent lighting, the adapter makes it possible. The metal construction ensures durability and maintains proper modifier alignment - crucial for consistent light quality and preventing light leaks. Installation is straightforward: the male Godox mount side attaches securely to your ML60II Bi or ML100Bi light, creating a stable platform for any Bowens modifier to lock onto. The adapter adds minimal weight and bulk whilst dramatically expanding your creative options, allowing you to leverage existing investments in modifiers or access the competitive pricing and variety that the Bowens ecosystem offers.

Common Dos and Don'ts
✓ Check that the adapter is fully seated and secure on your light before attaching heavy modifiers like large softboxes
✓ Keep the adapter attached to your ML60II Bi or ML100Bi permanently if you primarily use Bowens modifiers - it becomes your default mount
✓ Verify that your Bowens modifier locks securely onto the adapter before lifting or repositioning your light
✓ Store the adapter with your lighting kit so it's always available when you need to use Bowens-compatible modifiers
✓ Take advantage of the adapter to experiment with different manufacturers' Bowens modifiers - you're no longer limited to a single brand
✗ Don't force the adapter onto your light - if it's not sliding on smoothly, check the alignment and ensure you're using it with a compatible ML60II Bi or ML100Bi model
✗ Don't attempt to use this adapter with other Godox lights that don't have the ML-series native mount - it's specifically designed for the ML60II Bi and ML100Bi
✗ Don't overtighten Bowens modifiers onto the adapter - the standard Bowens locking mechanism provides adequate security without excessive force
✗ Don't assume all "Bowens-style" modifiers are created equal - some cheaper third-party options may have loose tolerances that don't lock securely
✗ Don't leave heavy modifiers attached to your light during transport - always remove modifiers and pack them separately to prevent stress on the adapter and mount
