Will the strobe still trigger if I rig up a white umbrella in front of it to use as a diffuser? Too much light for my project as is.

I use the cable included in the package to connect directly between the camera and the strobe light. So it doesn't matter. I use it with an umbrella, too.

yes, the electric eye is sensitive enough to set-off the trigger. SOME low pwr background lights have a mini,2.5 plug so you can attaché a trigger(like pocket wizard)

it should, but I use mine in a small make shift room (bedroom) so there is a enough light bouncing to trigger it. not sure if it will work in a large room (garage) or studio.

I've used my 580 EX II on similar size umbrellas set on the widest zoom setting with excellent results. I have not tried it with these because the center opening of the light bank impedes the output of flash head.

There is a lot of light lost through the umbrellas. If its daytime, outside, I'd say yes. Otherwise, invest in an umbrella with better reflective ability, maybe box style. You'll also want to get stronger bulbs.

Yes, you will need a setup that allows 2 speed lites (http://www.amazon.com/StudioPRO-Bracket-Umbrella-Socket-Photography/dp/B00HS73OII/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1419873799&sr=8-1&keywords=double+flash+bracket ) to fire together. It will be awkward putting the lights/triggers inside the umbrella tho'

I can't see what item you talking about but, if you are asking about the Strobe Motion Alarm Yes you can. I have mine outside in the balcony area since 2009. I just put a small piece of wood over it and it work perfect. Someone did stole my water fountain ones, after I put this they tried one more time but this thing it's so loud that they run and never came back. Victor

This should not be happening. The very construction of softbox prevent that from happening. Make sure all the fiber glass ribs on the inside are attached. Once you attach the diffuser panel you shouldn't be able to tell its an umbrella.

No it will not. If you would like a trigger for monolights, I suggest you go for PocketWizards.

Yes, that is the same strobe that I am using mine on - an excellent combination, I am very happy with the setup.

The answers are yes and no. It is on only as long as you press the switch, and there is no strobe setting on this model.

No. The strobe is a built in feature. If you unplug the unit from the wall it will stop working completely.

Yes, but there are times when it starts to flutter lline a strobe light. Quite distracting. Hope this helps.

Mine Does not strobe. Do you have a short in it? Is it screwed in all the way?

Yes, but your speed light may not fill the entire umbrella. I use 2-3 speedlights with my set-up to help & cut recycle time.

You can use this as strobe to illuminate your photos. You can to buy this for photos that need more light. Studio or outside are examples. Hope I helped.

Yes, the strobe is quite powerful. In a dark or semi-dark room, the strobe is absolutely blinding. My wife and at least four or five of my friends all concur.

Any 6-12DC power connection activates the strobe light. But check the specs, the circuitry may not be protected for outdoor installation. You would know best about connection hardware in your application.

i use the stands with speedlights/pocketwizards and umbrellas, so i cant speak to strobes specifically. that said, they are very sturdy and I'm sure they could be used with strobes as well. you could always buy a sandbag if you are worried.
