Will this work with a canon 580exii flash? Also, is the umbrella collapsible?

So sorry. But I am not sure it will or will not. A am an EXCLUSIVE Sony/Minolta user. I have no clue which components may be interchangeable with your system. Most umbrels are collapsible.Typically, most systems work for just about EVERyBody BUT Sony!! LoL. Better is if you pose these queries to Canon group! Happy Shooting!

The 580 ex II speedlight most likely comes with a stand. The stand should have a 1/4" thread on the bottom, which you should be able to screw onto the Manfrotto 1/4" adapter (provided with the product - see uploaded photos). So yes you can. But the usual way is to buy an umbrella mount such as Manfrotto 026 and also a shoe mount for your flash. A nice and reasonably priced one is "Impact Umbrella Bracket with Adjustable Shoe" which can be found at B&H web site (B&H part num # IMUB).

I use it all the time with my Canon 50D and it works great. Yes, it will fit the hot shoe, but I have always had a 580EX flash in the shoe when doing a group picture. It is light and can either dangle or strap/rubber band it to the tripod. It has never dropped or swayed - so little chance of ruining the product.

Does it have a foot to connect an external flash? If so then it should work. It just goes in front of the flash and slides into the foot area.

Try a NEEWER® LED Flash Light Bracket Hot/Cold Shoe Mount Handle Grip For DSLR Movie Camera DV , Amazon = $2.04. It looks like a vertical hand grip for an umbrella, 5" long, with a shoe at top and a threaded hole in the bottom. Screw the monopod in the bottom and attach the flash unit in the shoe at top.

This is a basic flash. If it has a shoe mount and the camera accepts it it should work. The problem is that it is more designed for a dslr.

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.

No, the Rogue would dwarf this small flash. What you need is something like this: Fotasy DF90EX Professional Omni-Bounce Diffuser for Canon Flash Speedlite 90EX (White)It softens the light by sending it up and around the room and bouncing it back, in effect using the walls as a light source. If you get one, don't use it outdoors because without something to bounce the light from (the sky doesn't count) it just consumes power from your flash.

The head on the 580ex and YN560 are nearly identicle so I would say with 90% confidence that yes it will work. We replaced one of our studio members flash which was broken. Just as a side note, the quality of light this flash produces isn't that great if you're using it for portraits. If you're wanting this for portraits I would highly recommend the Stellar 18" photo/video CFL compact fluorescent ring light. It's pretty awesome. Hope this helps

This should work for you. Fotasy DF90EX Professional Omni-Bounce Diffuser for Canon Flash Speedlite 90EX (White)

I'm not a Canon expert, but I see no reason why it would not, as it connects to your hot shoe. If you have any standard strobe unite (flash) that fits atop your hot shoe, the extension cord simply connects to that hot shoe, and your strobe in turn connects to the extension cord.

Yep, its very adjustable, shouldnt be a problem at all! I believe it actually works with that flash and a pocket wizard stacked under it.

The stands have the 1/4-20 mount on the very top. They come covered. Problem is all the adjustments for attaching umbrellas and tilting the mount are not available. The flash will attach just straight up. Any bouncing would be due to rotating the flash head. Hope this answers your question.

I think it would, but I don't know for sure...I use a Canon Speedlite 580EXll and it works wonderfully! The Flash X-tender is very flexible (Velcro attachment straps) and could easily fit a larger or smaller Speedlite of most any manufacturer, I believe.

I have a 430EX II Canon flash and it works fine! Granted, I'm not using the two cold shoe mounts it comes with because my "Aputure 2.4 Ghz Trigmaster" has a shoe mount attached to it and the bottom screws into place of where the shoe mounts would be. So whether you're using the shoe mounts or just the screws under the shoe mounts to attached a flash or a wireless adapter. I promise you it will work with this product. I highly recommend. Your flash will sit on the Softbox as shown in the picture if not using another add on.

Yes it will. I found using the Phottix Multi-Boom Mini 16″ helped in keeping a flash on the centreline, mounting multiple flashes - and with tilting the softbox. This is a great softbox, and easy to use, but using the zippers provided does not always give enough range of motion to angle the box. The Phottix boom arm puts the umbrella mounting hardware outside the softbox allowing you full range of motion, and the ability to reposition your flash(es) to be closer to the centreline of the box.

Yes, the Yongnuo 560iii flash is fully compatible with the Lightsphere Collapsible Speed Mount.
