Will this work with my giant 60" Fotodiox softbox or will I need special stands and/or counterweights?

As long as you have a good stand.... that thing worked perfectly for me... but i have a nice stand that holds evething nicely... you cannot expect to put that on a 5 dollar cheap stand

Hi! I've never used. I was not served. What I can NOT install the softbox because it does not bring the silver part, or basis for wires softbox

I use it with my 60inch and I use it with my lightweight stands but upgraded to heavy duty stands and yes with either I use sand bags

It is a little weak the stand needs to be heavy duty and it wouldn't hurt to use a counter weight

Probable not inside the frame. It will support one either above or below quite well. I had a 7" on mine mounted off an arm offset beside the camera.

I use this with a canon 60D with sigma 18-35mm with no problem. Obviously my set up is much lighter then your set up but when I initially got this product I felt it was a little overkill for my set up and am pretty sure sure it should hold up just fine. I don't recommend using a sigma 500mm on this LOL. I've also mounted a LED projector with no problem as well.

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.

The attachment rim of this light is 3 3/4 inch. if the adapter of your soft box is greater than that and, if it has adjustment screws (most do) to attach it, it should work. perhaps the only limiting factor would be the projection and weight of the softbox which might make the stand unstable. However, while my soft box is smaller (3ft X 2ft) I have no issues with instability,

And for the softbox usage the answer is yes! Amazon carries many softboxes for the strobe, the softbox attaches to the portion of the strobe that extends from the body of the strobe, the softbox will have four screws that you will tighten to secure the softbox to the strobe. This is a very good strobe to learn studio photography I have own many of the 300 watt and sold them for high wattage strobe, the light output is high and perfect for portrait or event photo shoot using backdrops.

I believe he s that it should work for you. I use it for my photo booth so that my customers can see themselves on a monitor while they're taking their photos, and I mounted to a the speaker stand pole sideways so it hangs over the top of my camera. It should hold up side down no problem and the head rotates and you can adjust the tilt on the head of the amount.

It works fine with Einsteins. The carrying bag and grid should be handled carefully but the softbox itself has worked really well through many shoots, overall a bargain.

Awesome, thank you!! I am looking for a printer stand. It is a printer, copier, fax machine. its a Canon Image class MF8580cdw. It is a larger one. I am having a difficult time finding a stand. Would you happen to know if it would hold up to that?

I believe this is the one you want. Fotodiox EZ-Pro Octagon Softbox 48" with Speedring for Balcar, White Lightning, X800, X1600, X3200 Strobe Light I would spend the extra money on the Pro Solutions model since it sets up and takes down in seconds. I use Manfrotto 1052BAC Black Alu Compact Stands with this modifier. It is important to position the light over one of the legs for stability. I also use a sandbag for added security against falling.

It will probably work...but these stands are a POS..it is one time expense...I would buy a better quality heavier stand. Everything about these stands is cheap....especially the plastic parts.

The size is not the issue so much as the type of softbox. You should probably use a Neewer brand softbox as those are made specifically for their strobelights. I mistakenly purchased a Godox softbox instead of a Neewer brand. The ring does not quite fit the strobelight properly.

I don't think so. Likely too top heavy with too narrow a base. I'd look for something on a tripod to handle what you want to support.

When I mount a FotoDiox 48 inch Octobox, it creeps down. I fabricated a support bracket to keep the Octobox angle constant, then I just raise or lower to adjust. I have no problem with a 2X3 softbox, 18 or 28 inch Beauty Dish, 36 inch Octobox. Hope this helps, Cheers

Response to your check list:- Check out Phottix Oden or Stratus for Triggers, if your on a budget.- As far as your Fotodiox Pro 48" Octagon Softbox make sure you get a Bowen Mount Speedring or it will not work.- I would go with a heavy duty light stand about 9ft for stability at the base.- Not really sure about Transformer Converter in your country. Hope this helps.

I agree with all that responded. My stand has been great (50' TV) do know they can cause problems though. Be sure to use the proper screws, do not over tighten, you should be fine. AND I agree Sceptre customer service is fantastic! A+++ from personal experience.

They are great stands Mike. They built strong enough to hold the softbox with a speedlight attached even at the heighest. I love it.
