Will an Alien Bee fit this softbox?

No, sorry, it will not fit. it's for speedlights and the opening is too small for the AB prongs to get into to lock it in.

These are made to use with speed lights. I think the alien bee head would be too large.. I use the box often. It's easy to set up.

For speed lights only. They do make for studio strobes but more expensive. Check out wescott website

Yes it works fine on the Alien Bees.I have multiple AB lights and works on all of them. Great dish by the way.

This is for Alien Bees, but if the mounting is the same as a B400/800 etc, which it appears to be, then yes.Perhaps email Paul C Buff for a definitive answer. info@paulcbuff.com

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,

I ordered the speed ring to attach an aurora softbox to an alien bee 800. I had to do a little modifiying, nothing serious, to get it to work.

Jason,I can't speak in terms of the softbox that you've mentioned, because I don't have that specific model, but I can say that the speedring fits my Einsteins perfectly. I hope that helps.Anthony

Yes it will,. Its a little heavy when you add the softbox. Just make sure you have a good stand

If you get the Alienbees ring adapter yes. But this is a very heavy, large Octobox! It may not be good for a small unit like the Einstein 640. Not sure but I have large strobes and it weighs heavy on them! Some photographer friends of mine use rope to keep tension off strobe light. Hope this helped.

most standard pre-made enclosures are too small I had mine custom made but if you search around a bit you can find one that it will fit in

I don't own B1600, but I don't see any reason why it won't fit. It fits my Einstein just fine. On a side note the box itself is pretty well made but I would avoid getting the grid, I feel it's too flimsy for the job.

I haven't tried a softbox on it yet, but they company might sell some on their website for this specific kit. www.cowboystudio.com.

You may have to sand or file down the holes to get a perfect fit, I've had to do that to every pre-fab box I've had, but yes you shouldn't have a problem with those subs and this box. If anything, the holes may be just a little small but a good rounded file solves this problem in about 15 minutes. I had two Planet Audio "Big Bang" 15's in this box and they were HUGE. Make sure you pay attention to the INTERNAL dimension requirements for each sub and make sure it matches or is very close to matching the internal space of the box. Hope this helps, good luck man.

I have a Flashpoint 320a unit which is likely underpowered compared to your Alien Bees and I purchased the Duracell 450 Powerpack for the very purpose you described and ultimately had to return it. After about 3 pops of the flash, even at very low power the Powerpack threw an overload error and went in to a shutdown mode. I would doubt you'd be able to get your Alien Bees to work with the 600 version of the Powerpack as you're looking to use multiple lights and likely of a higher power than me.

Hello to big for what? It fits perfect in my einstein. Or any alien bee perhaps.

This is apparently for bee plus, which is the model 2010 and after. So 2009 probably can't fit,

Yes you need to purchase the speed ring. There is only one way to put the alien bee on the soft box it slips right on to the light.

These guys just provides a sync cable output. If you can drive an Alien Bee with a sync cord then they should work just fine.
