This wouldn't be able to fit right onto an existing hotshoe correct? I'm guessing I would need an extra light stand or a tripod?

You are correct this cannot fit on a hot shoe and has to sit on a light stand. It is very heavy duty and I have not had problems with mine.

Definitely requires a light stand. And you might want to gaffer tape around the flash mounts because they are not stable. Have dropped my flashes multiple times because of the flimsy construction. I actually do not use this anymore because of that. Beware !

If your light stand is just like a tripod stand, yes. The width and size of tripod/light stand are adjustable. The wheels produce a smooth glide. Actually, I'm ordering another.

It is not an issue with the make of the camera. This is to be used on a addon flash unit, and will fit the flash unit you attach to your hot shoe, I think the best way to see it is to look closely at the photo, you have to thread the velcro strap through the loops on the unit and then secure it to the flash unit

This is made to fit on a standard light stand, not a tripod. It will work on a tripod, but you'll need an adapter "spigot" similar to this.

Without the hot shoe adapter the light can't stand on anything. It's really a proprietary adapter anyway. But since the light is so inexpensive you might as well buy it if you only need a new adapter.

I don't see why not. I shoot a Canon 3ti and the hotshoe should not be any different for your camera.

When you say tripod, I am assuming you don't mean a regular light stand. If that's the case then no it does not. It's meant to fit on a regular light stand.

You can buy an extra arm for the Rig that has an mount attachment for a tripod. That should work.

You will need to buy a fitting so that your tripod can mount to it. That's what I had to do but it wasn't expensive

It depends on the tripod. this connects to the stand... by clamping to the upright pole of a light stand. So if your tripod... had a upright pole.. then it can connect to it. consider a sandbag to make sure the tripod does not fall over...

The shoe on the Cannon is compatible but the light isn't able to utilize a hot shoe. The light can only use batteries that are the size that came with it or an external DC power source.

If the Manfrotto has an extended piece at the top to go through the lower area of the hot shoe, by all means do it and tighten as needed, however, I have a Manfrotto monopod that doesn't have that extended piece to it. I use it on my Cowboy Studio flash Stands that comes with the top to tighten it.

You need a reasonably good tripod to support it. I have a Really Right Stuff replacement foot, RRS ballhead, and a Gitzo tripod. That's overkill, probably, but it does all work well. Anyway, do a google search for 'bythom tripod 101' for a nice, introductory writeup about getting tripod/support equipment.

It might support it but I've only used these stands with speedlights and a 26" Rapid box and the Apollo orb. With my studio strobe I use an air stand because the Manfrotto is so light weight. Good luck.

Any tripod stand would work so long as it fits the speedlight. I don't use it much anymore because it doesn't swivel. I gave it a great review for the time, but I've outgrown it. That "metal" is juts like foil to help reflect light from the speedlight.

That is the kind of hotshoe this model has. It's for the Sony/Minolta mount.

It was a long time ago that I bought that thing and then returned it. I don't know what to tell you. They probably forgot to include velcro or holes. You're much better off just buying tripods and using lights from the hardware store. See youtube for DIY instructions. That's what I did and it works fine. Good luck.
