I can't connect this to my softbox. I'm guessing I need a different sized speed ring. Does anyone know what size speed ring I need?

They only come in 1 size. You must need a different type. Not all speed rings fit all monolights. Read your manual

Small box .... same problem! However, a little thought and some tape works well inside or on location. A ring would ease the dilemma!

To use a soft box on any strobe you need a speed ring. This model strobe uses a Bowen speed ring mount.

Can you send me a link to the bowens speed ring or any accessories I can purchase for this strobe. I'm planning on purchasing 2 of these lights tomorrow

I own this one, the answer is no. Since the center part of the speedlite head will be blocked by the shaft, My guess is there will not be a hot spot in the center of the softbox . Hope this helps.

It Will work with the fotodiox 22" beauty dish, buy you may want to buy the bracket without that speed ring (silver), you can use this because you will be able to remove that silver adapter, but there is no case if you don't need it buy the bracket alone and save some money.

Sarah, Isn't it self explanatory? I use my soft box all of the time. I'm wondering if you have the same one.

I don't believe so. I use this with some Cowboy Studio softboxes that have a spring-ring, not a Bowens stay speedring.

I want this Fotodoix Octagon softbox, but the description says that it only fits Alienbees strobe lights. Stupid, question, but will this also fit PCB Einstein 640s? I heard from somewhere that it might not.

Keith, what did you end out hooking this up to? 5/8's converts to just about 16mm and the "universal" ball size is 17mm. I'm trying to hook this up to my new TYLT VU Qi Car Mount but don't want to buy it if the ball isn't the right size.

It's difficult to attach to the flash unit. The Velcro straps are not placed well and are too short. I've used it with a Yongnuo YN568 EX II and Canon 600 EX-RT and I had to use my own straps to secure the softbox to the flash unit. I'd recommend spending a little more for a better softbox.

It needs to be in a 3.0 environment to give out 3.0 speed. Meaning the port that it is connected to has to be 3.0 (blue piece of plastic if you want to check) and the device has to support 3.0 speed.

I actually found a video on YouTube - just search for soft box setup and the brand name- I found a great tutorial done by a young guy, maybe even a teen!! It was very helpful and I had them up in ten minutes. Hope that helps!

That is a good question in which I do not have an answer to. My guess is that it will come down to the speed ring you use. I would investigate further.

I am using the YN560-II speedlite in slave mode. If you send your email address I will send a picture of my speedlite mounted with the DMKFoto softbox.

Sorry, I did not like this so I returned it. Don't know if a larger softbox will work.

It will work fine as Julio said as long as you are going to use it with Speedlights/Speedlites. If you look at a beauty dish that already has a bracket (http://www.amazon.com/Fotodiox-Diffuser-Speedring-Speedlite-600EX-RT/dp/B005ODJBR6/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1396181387&sr=8-3&keywords=fotodiox+beauty+dish) you can see it is the exact same thing, except this one has an adapter for a softbox. You can remove the silver part with 4 small bolts and you are good to go. Then if you ever want to use it for a softbox, you can do that as well.

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, you can but speed rings for various moonlights that will fit on this soft box. It will not work with a speed light.
