I have the Canon 580 flash and it fits just fine. I place it over the lamp and push it on the flash from inside the Gary Fong with the cover removed. I am not familiar with the 540 model.

I have the 540 and this kit. It can be a bit awkward to get on. For the collapsible dome, make sure it is collapsed then put it on starting from the left or right side and push it down till all side are even with the flash body. As for the powersnoot, make sure the strap is loosened and then again start from one side and drop it over the flash. There is a rubber band that is included. That should sit about 2 inches or so down on the flash body. Hope that helps.

The fit is tight and the mating surface is ribbed. Your flash face should be slightly larger than the rubber flash kit's opening. Don't be afraid to use a "little" muscle.

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 don't see why not. It will as long as you got the proper mount hold any speedlite.

it fits but its not ideal. I just installed it. If you have a magazine extender tube on the end it fits kinda weird. Without the magazine tube extender it would fit really nicely, and hold a flash light or whatever. But I would go another route, I don't like the way it goes together, with the magazine tube.

You have to use the correct metal ring, included in the kit, for the lens to connect properly. All of the rings do not work, so look them over carefully and choose the correct ones, put the others aside so you don't get them mixed up.

Did u loosen the rounded thing where the mount is? U have to turn it to loosen and then slide the light into the mound on your camera and then twist it back down to tighten again.

I bought this Manfrotto 026 Swivel Lite-Tite Umbrella Adapter so I can screw the table mount of the speedlight into the top of it and also mount my umbrella./

Yes it will. No special adapter required. Mount is adjustable for various size speedlights.

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.

I cannot answer you directly since I am using nikon... It fits good on the Nikon Speedlite 700 and it is hard to fix (tight) on Yongnuo speedlite YN560. You could compare the size of the fixing end your flash with your friends nikon flash. Hope this helps.

I don't know, I have the Neewer TT 560 Speedlite. Fit is good and I love the Stacking Grid

The adapter ring can be a little tough, I thought that mine was too big also, you just have to play with it and line it up just right, once you get the treads started it's going to fit tight but you just screw it on, once installed, install you polarizer filter and then the end cap for it, I ordered a circular polarizer for mine but did have the same kit as you do, good luck !Michael

There are screws on the upper side of the saw. Remove those, place the light's mount into place, and return the screws through the mount into the original holes.

It will work with any speedlight. The ones named in the title are just a way to get more attention on the item by showing up in searches for those models. Also worth noting, if you remove the speedlight bracket it will mount directly on any Alien Bees or Einstein monolights. No adapter of any sort is needed. Just be aware that this is the small end of beauty dishes, producing a bit harsher contrast than most people associate with beauty dishes. But it's also much easier to pack with you and works great as long as you can get it in close. A boom (or grip head, doubled-up superclamps, and a piece of electrical conduit) is basically a must unless you have a human boom / voice activated lightstand. Have fun!

I couldn't find one that would fit, so I wrapped the light with parchment paper and clips. Added more to diffuse the light. Wish there was an optional accessory for it though. :/

I had no issue attaching the light kit.. May be that part is defective. Sorry I couldn't be a help.
