I have five lights with umbrellas on tripods. Will it hold that many?

I am not sure what type of bulb,umbrella you meant. But size of bag was given for customer's reference. So please compare the size w/your application. Regards, kimoutlet

After checking with measuring tape, I believe the largest it will hold a 7" long light, 1-1/4" diameter. The side panels are elastic and the Velcro flap will accommodate 5" to a maximum of 7" lenght.

Doubtful. I bought 2 of these, each for 8' market umbrellas. One was free standing and the other held an umbrella which was through a pub table. The free standing one kept blowing over.

If by tripod you mean a lightstand with the standard 5/8" top, then yes. Comes with what I'll call an umbrella reflector. You'll probably end up getting a softbox of some kind.

Your call but I would think multiple small ones so that you could add to them. This light is bulky

For the money, this is a good setup for YouTube videos. If the video only has one subject, putting two lights in each umbrella and getting them really close is plenty of light. It works like a beauty ring at that point. Good luck!

You need a light stand socket attachment such as http://www.amazon.com/LimoStudio-Studio-Socket-Umbrella-Holder/dp/B005D1OWEG These have a mount that attaches to the nub on the top of the light stand. Quality and price vary so be sure to research.

As far as I've ever seen, most light stands do not supply a hole for umbrellas or other rod attachments. I've owned multiple Manfrotto, Norman, Bowens and off-brand stands(including these) and none have ever had an umbrella hole. There it a small adapter that you can purchase that goes on top of a light stand that has a hole and threaded screw for mounting an umbrella. I would recommend you buy a couple of them for umbrella mounting. They are interchangeable on any light stand.

I have 25bs of lighting hanging from one set. These are very sturdy and the ratchet lock works great. I would easily trust 50 lbs of weight on a set. Hope that helps.

Matt, I presume you are using a different bag than the Ravelli bag. Only the light stand will fit in the Ravelli bag. The stand in the kit bag is 46in long and 4in at the base. I use a large Lightware bag when traveling with my lighting kit. I can get my three Manfrotto stands, the two Ravelli stands and my tripod into it. I then secure the outside with two Velcro straps to keep everything together. Hope this helps. BTW the Ravelli stands are not the heaviest I have but they have never failed me with sandbags on the lets. They are build well and serve their purpose.

Dear Rhonda,...I really don't know if it will hold that big an umbrella.I would think it would if you take the umbrella down in a wind. Good luck.

Yes, you will need a setup that allows 2 speed lites (http://www.amazon.com/StudioPRO-Bracket-Umbrella-Socket-Photography/dp/B00HS73OII/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1419873799&sr=8-1&keywords=double+flash+bracket ) to fire together. It will be awkward putting the lights/triggers inside the umbrella tho'

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.

Sorry, I bought them to weight down my lights as the stands aren't very stable. I'm a photographer. They seem fine, should work for what you want. :-)

I don't think that four of them will be adequate lighting. You will need at least 8. Four for each side on a pole. 12-16 would be optimal.

My photography light kit did not look as the one pictured. Mine just came with the lights umbrella stands

Yes it will - but; you will want to mount any of these fine small lights in a vertical orientation so that they are at their brightest and shine their farthest.
