Can you attach umbrellas/softboxes?

The base is fixed and it is not made for it but I guess you can pull it off with some Mcgyver engineering

the lights come unassembled. I put the lights on and it was just a matter of setting them on the rod and there are two knobs for tightening and adjusting the light. I have never used umbrellas or softboxes so I don't know how they attach but if they sit on the rod extension and tighten by a knob - then it is possible it would work.

yes there is. we are using it with an umbrella but you need to have one with a base for stability.

Place rods into plastic housing, place the ends with silver tips into pockets on softbox, work around from there

I use it with novatron. Only limitation with the umbrella type of soft box is the ability to angle up or down. I use it as a rim light, so it's not a issue.

Usually I use this flash with a softbox that fits perfectly, I have never used it with a umbrella. The results are very good

I did use a standard umbrella base. Just had to use a little foam to keep it secure.

Yes, but you need to make sure the umbrella accommodates patio height tables (longer pole needed) - many do not.

NO .. never can be used with the softbox, which I have. No silver part to hold you metal rods

Yes, there are two knobs just above the base that are easily tightened. Our 13 foot umbrella has stayed secure, never a problem. When you move the umbrella around a lot, make sure and check that the knobs are still tight. I have noticed they can come loose after a lot of movement.

Yes, you can add a umbrella to the center of the table if you install the 2X4 cross brace called for in instructions.however, the umbrella would require a ground footing in order that it is anchored by the table and at the floor or ground. A small bucket 6" tall and 9" wide at the top filled with sand would do the job if you are using in on a patio like I am. If you are using it in a grassy area you could dig a hole for umbrella shaft

Sort of, but I think of a brolly's as a rather flat lighting modifier. This fabric fits over the front of the umbrella and more accurately turns it into a giant soft box.

yes you can. had to arrange manually as could not get template to work right.

You should be able to but you would need to build a plate form to attach them to

I believe you could attach the soft box to a Camera Tripod using a 119 adapter (double female 5/8" stud). The stud would thread to the mounting screw on the Tripod Plate (that normally attaches to the bottom of your camera). Then the adaptor that comes with the softbox would attach to the stud. You may need one ore more studs to raise the softbox up and away from the legs of the tripod. - Jason

You need a light stand socket attachment such as http://www.amazon.com/LimoStudio-Studio-Socket-Umbrella-Holder/dp/B005D1OWEG These have a mount that attaches to the nub on the top of the light stand. Quality and price vary so be sure to research.

NO! there is a screw right in the middle. Not to mention that it is much too small overall, to accomplish anything once you had a hole drilled in it. Look up "patio lazy susan umbrella" on Amazon and there are ones already made and of a usefule size.

Not natively. You would need to purchase additional attachments to do these tasks.
