How does this attach to the Rogue Flashbender? Is it velcro? I want to see if I can use another product similar to the Flashbender to attach this to.

Yes it's velcro, UT the size isn't the same other product of flashbender.... This product diffuser and the xl pro I have are awesome!

It's a combination os snaps and velcro: Velcro along the sides and bottom, and on the upper section it folds back unto itself and snaps each corner shut.

Both the shoe on the cord and the part that connects to the camera's shoe are metal. The bottom part of the shoe (that attaches to whatever bracket you are using), unfortunately is plastic. While the flash is secure in the cord (metal on metal), unfortunately the risk is that the cord components could still break and let the speedlight fall (with the cord still attached) to the ground. That said, I did put it through it's paces at a recent wedding reception using an SB-900(910) speedlight (with the added weight of a large 'FlashBender') mounted to a flash bracket with no signs of failure or fatigue.

it fits all flashes, even the giant vivitar 285 hv, i have 30 flashes, it fits them all , except canon 300ez, its too small for that ... the velcro around it fits like a noose around your neck ... :) did you know velcro, fiberoptics, nightvision and transistors came from the Roosvell crashed spaceship?

There are two ends to the cord: one that attaches to the hotshoe on the camera and one that connects to the flash. The end that connects to the flash does have a threaded hole on the bottom of it so you can attach it to a standard light stand. However, this cord is relatively short when it's coiled, so it might be a little awkward to attach it to a stand at times since one tug on the cord would knock the stand over. If your camera is also on a tripod, that won't be as much of an issue since you will be much less likely to accidentally tug on the cord.

This product does not attach to the camera. It is made to fit on an external flash. If you don't have an external flash, you don't need this. If you have an external flash, this product is cheap but works.

I don't know what the frik' these people are talking about on here Blake. The vertical orientation picture obviously shows a mounted pulley adapter/addon on each end of the slider. You can not mount this vertical without having a pulley and counterweight, or modifying it with a motorized system... Otherwise, the camera would just fall down. If you were to tighten it in a certain spot...well what's the point of mounting it vertically? You could adjust the resistance to make it hard to slide but that's not really going to work. I tried to search online for any type of StudioFX support or purchase options for the pulley adapters... No luck so far. I don't know what the frik' these people are talking about on here Blake.

I am certainly glad that you asked this question. What the issue is with this device is that it does not tighten up enough and it slides out the clip on top of the camera, which in turn causes the lights, or what ever you have on it to fall completely off the camera. I have been meaning to call and complain about this and in hopes that you could replace it with a better fitting device.

It is not Velcro. It is an elastic material that allows you to put your hand into to hold the tablet in an upright position to use as a reader. You just fold the front cover back on itself and slide your hand into the the holder.

I think they sell an overpriced way to attach it. I just have a little nylon case that fits it. I just hang it from my tripod.

i'm not so familiar with the mtx system, so i'd contact topeak, but i utilize the velcro on this one

No, the same company makes the air bender case ( I have both). The Airbender is detachable.

I copied this response from my initial review: it doesn`t attach securely to a Nikon SB-800 speedlight. I suspect that the head on the SB-800 is too small for this Gary Fong unit. No matter how much I tightened the velcro strap the unit would eventually slide off. If I moved the strap further down on the head to get more grip the buttons on the Speedlight were then blocked and the speedlight would not lock in the up position with the camera held vertically. I think this unit is meant for the larger flash heads like on the Nikon SB-910.

IT's not exactly Velcro but it attaches like Velcro would. It's like high tech Velcro. :) But I use it a lot and it seems to stay put.

It comes out from the clamp that holds it, so yes. If you had a heavy light or modifier on it, I don't know how you would stop it from twisting in your hands. And if you only plan to put a speedlight on it, why not choose a lightweight monopod instead?

It fits poorly. The reason that it fits at all is that the Stofen product is somewhat pliable (it can be bent around the flash head). I had to force mine on, and it stayed on, but it is not designed to fit appropriately. It's a small investment for this bounce flash, but you can probably contact Stofen directly and ask how far away a true-fit product is from the market place.

In the main picture you can see a small velcro flap with a large gray rectangle on it. (In the very last picture of the listing, it has the word "digital" written on it.) Well, I attached a hair-tie to my keychain and I put the hair-tie around this velcro flap. It wiggles but never comes detached. The velcro is very strong.
