Do you suggest this softbox for lighting videos?

I suppose you could yes, but I would use a continuous light source that gives off little or no heat such as LED lights.

No. For a hot shoe flash set up it's cool. But the system is based on a umbrella holder & pole, it does not work any other way. And even if you get a consistent light with an umbrella holderit will be very short still. You would be much better off with a back mounting soft box instead. But I use mines all of the time for flash photography and it's great for that.

I use it mostly for photography. The one problem with the unit is the lack of range of motion. To achive a 45 degree tilt down is difficult

I haven't used it for video but it does have enough coverage if you're going to video one person. Also, if you don't put the white cover on front, you can mount it like a normal umbrella.

The video and camera do not work well in low light. You think you have good lighting but, it has to have lot's of light. In the day time you get great video and pictures. I use a flash light at night ( Mag. Light LED ) to light up what I need at night. Works well. The audio is very good. The wide angle is very nice. I would say a 45 degree angle to each side. The Muvi is a very nice tool for me. The cost is very low. I work Security and I would not want to work with out it.

What I have is the Soft Box Flash Diffuser and it works great. I purchaced the : Opteka Universal Soft : I am very happy with that. I don't know if that can help you at all. KerryAnn

Softboxes mount to the light, not to a stand. That is why you have to buy one with a speed ring for your light.

I have seen similar flash units with the GODOX brand on them that come with a softbox attachment.. while these flashes are good for the money the mountings to the stand are not that tough so they need to be mounted with care and not overloaded.. the 250w head seem a lot more substantial and can also be found with softboxes if you search

not sure if this is what you want. has lots of scene modes and does well in all sorts of lighting conditions, I have taken pictures off my TV screen with mine so guess it could do it.

These lights are good for shooting a short film, or pretty much anything where you need soft, even lighting if you know how to use them properly. The differences between these and higher end units are the build quality and the type of fixtures and lamps used in them. I have shot commercials and interviews with these and have been very satisfied with the results. These soft boxes are not as sturdy as a Chimera or other high end soft box, but I was pleasantly surprised at how good they are for the price. I find the daylight fluorescents included put out a nice even light and being able to choose from 1 to all 5 of them is very versatile. One thing to watch out for is if you transport them assembled, the bulbs can come loose during transport (probably form the vibration). One came totally out of the socket and fell out and broke and a few other bulbs were very loose. I usually leave them assembled because they are a bit of a pain to put together, but now I take the bulbs out before I load them in my vehicle. If you are on a small budget these are an excellent deal as long as you are aware that they need a little TLC.

Hi there. I haven't checked the quality of the video with low light, if that is what you are asking.

These lights are not dimmable, however, there are two switches that allow you to run 1/2 the lams or all 4 lamps. In addition, you can run the soft boxes with or without the diffusers in place, giving you more control over exposure and softening. They work very well for both video and still photography.

Spend enough money, and you can make anything fit. But, no, there is no inexpensive way to attach them. My softbox comes with its own lighting system.

Definitely! This is a good strong and heavy softbox. I wouldn't use anything but a heavy duty lightstand with any monolight I own.

Yes. Make your video source the Blackmagic Design with the settings you want and it will stream right up.

I don't recommend this kind light for music video. because being too hot . If the work space is small you can use LED light.

Firstly, it is not a video soft box, so it is not vented for cooling and would likely shrink wrap itself to your light and or melt. Secondly, for this price you should know automatically that it has no lamp. And third, it's in the description, read.Now as for "what should purchase to go with" , buy a video light kit, or set up regular flood lights bounced off white reflectors or adjacent walls or ceilings.

This is a soft box only, not a light. It's designed to work with lights similar to the NEEWER 180.

You should be able to do so but it would be unnecessarily complicated. I'm certain there are better softwares for such thing, AfterEffects would be a better option but also complicated for something simple. Whatever built-in software that comes with OSX these days is likely your best best. Would not recommend FCX/FCP for just a slideshow.

It is ready for studio light (Bowen or so, depends on what you get). If you want to use speedlight (oncamera flash), it is also possible, but more tricky.
