If I am to use the clamp with a Canon Speedlite 430EX II flash, what else do I need?

You can use the little plastic stand that came with your flash. Just screw it to the stud that the clamp comes with.

I added a Manfrotto 196B-2 which is an extendable arm and mount with male bolt thread for standard camera mount.

Don't know but watch out for some caeras with a hotshoe lock out. I have a Canon 600D and the pop up flash won't work because it thinks you have a speedlite on it. Have to fuss around with it and push it in 1/2 way so the flash will pop up.

It should work with any ETTL flash. I use my 7D with a 600EX-RT and a Yongnuo flash as well.

The light stands have a standard screw threaded head. Depending on reflectors You'll need either a flash adapter like this: http://www.amazon.com/Flash-Holder-compatible-Canon-Speedlite/dp/B003TYDBYQ/ref=pd_ys_sf_s_172282_a1_3_p or another connector. I use my stands with a 24" umbrella reflector and a flash gun, with no problems. The stand are very stable.

I have both the 580EX and the 430EX II and They both work fine. I've been using them for portraits of grand kids and using everything in manual with a hand held light meter to set power. Kind of a pain setting the power on the flashes because you have to get inside the umbrella to do it. If I was a pro I Wouldn't do it that way because of the time it take but hey, I'm retired so I have lots of time!

Not sure why you would want to add a Frio to this kit. If you're using a "standard" speedlight with this, the included bracket should hold your flash securely (I've never had one fall off). If you're concerned about light spilling around the junction of the softbox and flash head, use some gaffers tape to cover the gaps. Is this what you're asking?

Check to see if your Canon 6D is compatible with a Canon 430 speedlite. If so, you can use this one too on the 6D.

agree with other posts, it "should" work with any modern Canon camera flash pair. It should have all the same functions that your flash has with the camera now. (for example - if you have a 3rd party flash that doesn't do something like E-TTL now it won't work with this either). Works well with 60D and 430EX II speed-light combo.

From what I understand you will need the adapters which I also purchased. If you search Gary Fong Sony on youtube he details the adapters required and setup. If the flashes and triggers have the ISO hot shoe then no adapters are required. I believe the phottix equipment I purchased have the Minolta shoe hence why I purchased the adapters.

I was unable to get the provided cord to work with my 430EX and Canon 5D mkII. The flash would fire, but no TTL functions. The camera did not recognize the flash when it was on the cord. I ended up going with a "Vello TTL-Off-Camera Flash Cord" and bought the bracket separately for roughly the same price.

I wouldn't know about it as I've never used it with the model 420EX before. I'm using it with model 600EX, and it's a very tight fit that you need to exert a little bit of force to put this stuff into and remove it from the flash head. Assuming the the flash that I'm using has the same shape as yours, as long as the width of your flash is within 7-7.5 mm (0.27 - 0.29 inch), and its height is not longer than 4.5 mm (0.17 inch), I think this stuff should fit on your flash.

This is for continuous lighting kit, not for flash strobe lightkit. If you would like flash light w/this softbox, you need mounting kit for flash light,and trigger & receiver to work w/flash light. Regards, kim

yep, almost any speedlight will work. Now if you use the Yongnuo transmitters, they might not fit. I use pocket wizards

As far as I know, any flash with a standard center pin will work, including the SB-600

Hello Cellmar, yes, any flash/speedlight with a standard hotshoe will work with this beauty dish, which includes a flash bracket. triggers can be used with it also.

I have used it with the Canon 600EX RT. NOTE: to get a secure mount, you have to over ride the rubber piece on the flash base. Push the unit up to the center of the holder and then use a dime to turn the screw tight. If you don't center your speed-light, yes, it will fall out. It took me awhile to figure it out. Same thing with another bracket I have. I prefer this one with the slotted screw so I can be sure to snug it down.

The bottom of the head unit of this speed light remote has a standard tripod mount. Screw it right onto the too of your flash bracket.
