Is it threaded at the end of the boom where the CFL softbox goes if you wish to use a speedlight with a hot shoe adapter shooting option?

No it was not threaded. It also broke where the stand connects to the boom. In the first week. Cheaply made

I think this setup is too heavy for a speedlite. I use it with studio lights and it kind of weighs those down.

The Light has a hot shoe mount and a adaptor to fit i believe a 3/8's stand hope this helps.

So long the u bolt fits the barrel of the flash light. Just be careful not to crush your light as you tighten the bolts.

I would say yes you do, unless your flash has its own built-in threaded socket. Even if your flash has a threaded socket, the flash would then be stuck in one position, so having an adjustable mounting bracket should be more useful. I got some nice ball-and-socket brackets on-line, not at Amazon, for less than $7 each.

You would need the hot shoe adapter to plug the cord into it.....Just so you know I bought 3 of these units last year and the plastic base broke in the same spot on all 3 units..it would be a good flash if not for this issue. I now buy the Metz flash

Yes as it has the attachment plate built in on the opposite side of the contacts that drive the flash.

It's a standard "hot shoe" flash mount. Not specific to any manufacture or brand. It use it on my Canon with out issues.

You are correct. The height is controlled by the light stand. The softbox is mounted on a ring. The ring attaches to an adjustable swivel. The adjustable swivel arm is mounted on hot shoe. The hot shoe is attached to the light stand. You can control the up and down direction of your light with the swivel arm, and the height with the light stand adjustments.

You may need an adapter to securely hold the 4 socket. i am using this one with it "Studiohut L-Bracket Speedlight Flash Mount with adjustable cold shoe for Bowen Style Softboxes", which will give it extra support. I fear that if I screw the softbox directly on the 4 socket, it may not be enough support. Good luck.

Mine was reverse-threaded. I removed a standard 1/4-20 screw from a flash bracket and I was able to screw it in from the top. I thought about trying to find a reverse-threaded bolt to use on a quick plate but it's too much work for a $48 part. I'm dealing with Photodiox now to obtain a replacement since I was past the normal Amazon return period when I first tried using it.

I have the same question, because the one I just received also has no screw thread mount in the base. I have another flash holder that came with a piece that fits in its base with both 3/8" and 1/4" screw threaded holes in it, so it can be screwed solidly onto a light stand with either of these standard sized mounts. That piece fits nicely into this Interfit bracket, so I'm assuming that's what it's designed for. The question is, was this bracket supposed to come with a piece like this, or are we supposed to buy one separately? As it is, the bracket cannot be mounted to a standard light stand, because it doesn't have a screw thread piece in the base.

Yes ... but it is NOT a "dedicated" shoe. Just keeps a standard flash from frying the circuits in digitals. I have three and use them with everything from old shoe mounts to powerful studio strobes.

I'm not sure we have the same model, but the jack on mine is on the clip portion - look where the flexy stalk for the bulb comes up and out of the clip - right next to that.

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.

No, but I have seem a screw in adapter though. It screws into the socket and bulb then screws into that. As I remember it was about 1 inch in height, I will do a search. Later, Fredric Myers Found a few here at Amazon under heading: "Dusk To Dawn Light Socket Photocell" Amazon also has the white bulbs with built-in "switching" so the company should also have yellow bug light as well, in same configuration. Hope this helpes
