Can this be used to mount a speedlight (on its threaded footstand) on top of a light stand without insulating it from the heat of the flash?

I use mine for a Nikon Speed Light. Don't really have any problems and is far sturdy enough for the speed light. It does take two hands to use this stand, no big deal.

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?

Yes if you intend on mounting this adapter to something like an off camera rig or pole or whatever setup you are looking to do. It is a standard cold shoe so anything that would mount on top of a Canon or Nikon can be mounted on this. Hope that helps.

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. (I was careful though.)

It's not exactly designed for it, but I suppose you could modify the ring mount to fit one.Duct tape would hold the speed light in place, but there isn't a good way to balance the weight. It would have to mount to a stand from the speed ring itself rather than a strobe like it is meant to.I wouldn't recommend trying it because of the weight of it, but if you're up for trying to be inginuitive, go for it. Just don't get upset or want your money back if/when it doesn't work.

Because of the ring mount, it's designed more for studio strobes or moonlights. If you could somehow mount it to a stand and aim the flashgun through the ring, I suppose it would work

I can't see why not if you have a AC to a DC converter. Don't rely on the mounting gasket, it can leak real bad. Use plenty of silicone. The light is very bright and the movement range is great!

Any tripod stand would work so long as it fits the speedlight. I don't use it much anymore because it doesn't swivel. I gave it a great review for the time, but I've outgrown it. That "metal" is juts like foil to help reflect light from the speedlight.

Well, it wont be as powerful. You can however get a special mount that hold 2 speedlights in side the ring ( I think) that would help

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.

These mounts are for hot shoe mount flashes. It does not fit any of my studio strobes.

This kit includes a clamp that will attach to most flashes that will fit in the horseshoe on top of a camera. I use it with a Nikon SB-600 or SB-700 so that I can trigger the flash with the flash on my camera wirelessly. I have not used this with a light that you would plug into the wall. I'm not certain whether those lights would be heavier than what you would want to support on these stands.

It is possible. I have seen others using a bueaty dish with a hot shoe flash but you will have to buy the adapter for the flash seperately.

I have speedlights on stands, on TT5s with some kind of light modifier. I found a landyard for a name tag ( tacky) and looped it through and hang it from the light stand(s). I wish they made something a little nicer but I am going to make something that is a but more functional maybe with fastex buckles.,,,,I have attached the pack on a flash frame ( monsterous) and on my belt loop ( cumbersome)

Why wouldn't it? If you're using a speedlight and it's on, the built-in won't pop-up anyway, not to mention the fact that it physically blocks it. Not sure why you would ever use a built-in when you have a speedlight attached.

There is no reason why it wouldn't. My problem with this product though is that in bar for the flash is not well designed. When you lift the bar up to use the flash this way it does not stay. It uses a screw so it runs slack easily, something like a wing nut that you can easily tighten or slacken would have been better. I do not use it for this reason.
