I cant say for certain about the alien bees connection. Id imagine its like my einstein. If thats the case it shouldn't matter if the reciever is nikon or canon. Since the strobe is connected via cable and not hotshoe. Hope this helps.

Hello Cristian, if you bought the fotodiox beauty dish ( http://www.amazon.com/Fotodiox-White-Beauty-Alien-Strobe/dp/B0048WHCAW/ref=pd_sxp_grid_i_0_2) to go with the Alien Bees, it will have come with a speedring adapter for the strobe.Otherwise, if yuo are buying this adapter separately, it is correct.

I assume R,G,B and strobe, and the other is R,G,B,Strobe, and master?I have one of my 4 like that. I kept ordering the same one from the same dealer. You might be able to get away by changing the starting address of the mis-matched fixture.

I had purchased the wrong flash to work with my camera so returned it. Sorry I couldn't help you. By George

I want this Fotodoix Octagon softbox, but the description says that it only fits Alienbees strobe lights. Stupid, question, but will this also fit PCB Einstein 640s? I heard from somewhere that it might not.

I couldn't tell you, Dave. I already had the remote triggers when I got these strobes. Sorry.

I would not use them unless the packaging says they would. My Canon model was listed in the product specification.

I've never used the built in receiver on my flash units, I have one yonguo 603N for each flash and so I use it in a sort of manual way.

In theory they should work with third party flashes. But they aren't going to promise it though. I don't think any 3rd party is going to work hard to make their things work with non-Canon gear.

If your not seeing a difference let me ask you these 2 questions.1. Are pointing the IR Illuminator in the same direction as the camera?2. Is your camera IR corrective? The camera.has to be IR corrective for this to work.

Works fine with all new Canons. Doesn't support the new radio system like the 600EX-RT, but can still be used as slave IR. Will also work fine on hot shoe of any new Canon (for ETTL and/or AF assist). I've had one 580EX (I) for years, and while it doesn't support some new features, is still a good primary or secondary flash (with IR...would have to get a newer Canon flash for RT slave).

I haven't worked with either. But I presume there won't be any issues. This set has worked for me with micro four thirds and nikon cameras along with third party manual flashes.

Works perfect with my Canon 7d. I use the remotes to trigger old school vivitar 283 strobes. The remote camera trigger works well too. As for use with the Nikon cameras, call Fotodiox. They answered my question quickly. Pat.

If the receiver is a radio (RF), the radio function should not be affected. If it is infrared (IR) it would depend if the softbox blocks the IR sensor. In both cases, the receiver must have a 1/4-20 female thread on the bottom to mount to the Fotodiox bracket.

Julianna,....Canon guy here, so not sure. Looks to be a standard mini USB to a standard USB, so If that is what your Nikon takes. I would suggest going to your local Radio Shack, buying a Mini to Standard just to try out. That is what I did prior to this purchase, and it worked fine. $4 investment to make sure. Use mine to tether for remote studio shooting, works great.

I would pay the extra and get a genuine Nikon remote at Best Buy...not that much more...I actually use my timer on my camera more than the remote
