I do not have the Fotodiox 22" Beauty dish but I do have the Fotodiox 60" EZ Octobox and it fits as it should.

Hello Cristian, if you bought the fotodiox beauty dish ( http://www.amazon.com/Fotodiox-White-Beauty-Alien-Strobe/dp/B0048WHCAW/ref=pd_sxp_grid_i_0_2) to go with the Alien Bees, it will have come with a speedring adapter for the strobe. Otherwise, if yuo are buying this adapter separately, it is correct.

I have Einstein lights and the speedring fits "ok" for lighter weight things, but I wouldn't trust it for a heavy softbox. The lip of the ring and fingers of the light don't seem to totally "lock-in" Someone suggested I take a belt sander and file it down. Haven't done that.

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.

Absolutely. Uses the same speedring attachment as other alien bee lighting. This softbox is decently made, but be aware that there are two velcro straps that allow you to slide out two of the support legs when assembling and taking apart. I like the product

This box is definitely designed to work with hotshoe flash or Quantum Q-Flash where the flash head is just "poked through" the opening of the softbox. The flash is attached to a bracket that positions the head in this manner. I assume that the Gemini has a standard Bowens mount and so you would want to buy a Softbox that can directly mount to that as it is sturdier than this mount for sure. I would think that Westcott would offer a similar sized Octa that would attach to your flash. I use mine with Q-Flash and hot shoe flashes and have other softboxes for my Alien Bees and Speedotrons

Timothy, I have no problem attaching the Rail 4 Fotodiox to the tripod's screw. There are two holes at the base plate that can be used equally to connect the rail to it. You may want to check and make sure that it will fit on another tripod just in case the one you are using now is not working properly. Make sure you attach the rail first, then the camera to it.

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.

It works great! I use it with the Fotodiox Go Tough grip and always get compliments and curious minds. Check it out.

Hi! I use the Fotodiox adapter on a Sinar P and it fits fine. The plate is a little too thick so it will be easier to mount if you file the top and bottom of the plate down a millimeter or two. You will see what I mean when you get it. Be aware that it works best with longer lenses, 150mm and up.

Yes, it will work. BUT, that yongnuo is a small flash (58GN) compared to that big 28" dish. You definitely will not get good flash output. You would need an Alien Bee flash to go with this 28" dish.

It has a speedring to mount to an alienbees light. The light is what mounts to the light stand.

I believe this is the one you want. Fotodiox EZ-Pro Octagon Softbox 48" with Speedring for Balcar, White Lightning, X800, X1600, X3200 Strobe Light I would spend the extra money on the Pro Solutions model since it sets up and takes down in seconds. I use Manfrotto 1052BAC Black Alu Compact Stands with this modifier. It is important to position the light over one of the legs for stability. I also use a sandbag for added security against falling.

If I remember right Alien Bees lack having a snoot that sticks out from the front of the body and then they have a spring clamp for securing your modifier.....this Barn Door WON'T fit because you need to clamp on to the snoot on the flash head. It fits this style of Strobe Head. GODOX 300DI Pro Photography Studio Strobe Photo Flash Light 300ws 300w Lamp Head

No. You can mount this to your alienbee like you would an umbrella. I have the B800 and attach it that way.

I bought a 67mm UV filter and a 67mm Circular Polarizing filter. I bought the adapter from Amazon but it was sold by New West Direct. This adapter does screw onto the camera body as Jo Art has said and works great. From the imprint on the adapter ring it appears that the adapter is essentially a 51mm-67mm converter. After buying it I wondered whether it might have been better to buy a 51mm-56mm or 51mm-57mm or even a 51mm-58mm step-up adapter ring and use some of the filters I already have.

hhhmm i am using it with flash light an beauty dish. but i dont know how well it will support alien bees on fully extended. plastic construction seems durable metal parts are durable they should work well for alien bees too but keep in mind that this is only extension arm an clamp no stand is provided

Maybe if you had the right Bracket. However it is a big soft box for a speed light. I use mine with an alien bees Studio Strobe.

I had two Zuicko lenses and neither of them fitted due to the aforementioned stud on the mount, HOWEVER I have an old manual focus 70-200 Olympus mount SIGMA lens and the Fotodiox works EXTREMELY well with . It's constructed very sturdily and I was impressed with the overall quality of both the product and the imaging result. As long as your dealing with Olympus mounts for Tokina or Sigma you'll be happy. This is a great adapter.
