Will this work with Nikon's optically based wireless control system for the SB 800 speedlight, or would the enclosing softbox block the optical signal

Depends upon your distance. It may work if enough light gets through the front face. Would not want to rely on it. I us the YN-603 wireless triggers. Very inexpensive and very reliable.

The SB800 would be completely enclosed. So probably not. Hard to say without testing. You could go with a wireless transmitter or use a optical slave with a longer pc cord to hang outside of the softbox.

The Nikon D3300 flash has CLS mode...it WILL trigger the two Wireless flashes on the Nikon R1 Kit. No issues there

Not sure what you are asking? The 800 module can control many flashes, including the 700 flash. All together or independently within the 800 module's program parameters. If your camera cannot send signals to your flash, except by the flash shoe on the camera body, and you want to have off camera flash locations, right side, left side, or behind subject, then you must have the 800 command module (which creates no flash at all) in order to use multiple or off camera flashes. Nikon's web site has good info regarding subject. Both products are fantastic quality and the IR signal path (instead of radio) hasn't failed me yet, indoors or out Not sure what you are asking?

I wouldn't use it with anything heavier than a speedlight and modest softbox (I have my assistant use ours with an SB-910 and a westcott rapid box)

yes. But the design is not the best as you can not push the flash close enough inside the box. unless you are using a large flash head such as a SB 900 your flash might not go into the box. I can still use my sb 600 but there is light loss. I'm using it for my bare bulb monologhts and it works well. be careful if you are using a hot shoe trigger such as the PocketWizard flex system or the yongunuo triggers. you will be forced to mount these backwards and have to turn the flash head to the rear which makes it even more difficult to fit it into the box.

Yes, I've used mine with SB 600, SB 800, and SB 910. I do not feel it syncs as well with any external flash as with other Nikon SLRs though.

I use the remote on my D800 and have no problem with access to the controls. It makes for a bit of a tight fit related to the flash button and is close to the lens release and left dial that controls some of the settings like quality and bracketing etc. All are still accessible though. As well given I am taking remote pictures I will have the time to ensure proper settings are selected beforehand. This remote is excellent and cost-effective. Used it on safari with mirror up to minimize shake and vibration with long zooms. David

Yes, it does, i'm using it quite often to control off camera ttl flash in the softbox.however my set of pixel king has a tendency to overexpose a lot, so usually i dial -2 exp. compensation on my d700.

I have a Nikon SB-800 speedlight that it fits on. There is a velcro strap that wraps around it to make it pretty universal. I really like my "baby softbox". Better quality than the cheap plastic one I had prior to this that ripped. Very happy with the purchase.

Probably, yes... BUT don't do it. There's no way to work a flash.. not even with fiber optics because they never accommodated for the pop up flash on these cameras... no room in the housing. Means you need to manually work a slave strobe.. no fun :(

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.

It will work with any speed light. You with need to have an umbrella bracket of which you can get through amazon as well. Plus you will need rf trigger of some kind as the speed light will be inside softbox and line of sight will not trigger the flash.

It should work either with the transmitter/receiver that comes with it, or any flash that has an IR emitter. I use a Canon Speedflash, that triggers both of the studio lights with no problem.

Yes, when attached to the camera body or body via extension cable. Not as wireless off camera remote however. That will require a "Commander" if you want to stay in the nikon brand. Good luck. Great Speedlight.

You would need to get an adapter to attach to the speed light in order to use these soft boxes. Check out this thread: http://photography-on-the.net/forum/showthread.php?t=801744 There are softboxes specifically made for speed lights. Westcott has one that I've used before that is super light weight, where the Fotodiox are pretty heavy.

You could but the speedlights may touch the inside of the softbox depending on the spread of the three-speedlight bracket. It would also depend on if ur using a 600ex vs the 430ex (cannon) speedlites. Overall I think this would work out for ya.

I'm not familiar with your camera but this "soft box" is for speed lights. Not for Pop up flash. Also, this is pretty useless.
