does this work from all 360 degree angles from the subject of focus?

Yes, these are radio transceivers so, unlike the optical trigger on most flash units, they work at 360 degrees from camera don't require line-of-sight.

As far as I can test with mine, you can rotate 360. It's a great piece of kit.

Yes, the head I have can tilt and rotate in order to set the camera at an angle you so desire.

Not at home right now, but I thought it showed the full 360 degree rotation. Good piece of gear. I've been using it for my tubing bender and have been very happy with it.

It does work but you have to get the lens in focus. The focus is different from using one eye piece. Try Jupiter or the moon and experiment for clarity.

As in focus the lenses then shoot? If that's the question the answer is yes

Yes, but it works so poorly its not worth the money. You'll end up going manual because of the frustration. Focus is sooooo slow its painful! More often than not, it'll hunt and hunt and hunt and still not catch the focus once it stops.

No, it does not. You can manually adjust the angle of the camera, but even that is limited.
1726838
No. But you can use manual focus, or with autofocus set on the center, maintain the focusat that distace by holding the shutter button half way. Alternately with autofocuse set on subject the focuse will follow the chosen subject with okay but not perfect results.

Yes this really turns 360. Fully adjustable in all directions for really any application.

Yes, it goes full 360 rotation with solid clicks into most common angles and positions.

focus can be used not only manual but also autmatic! it works in both of modes, you can choose

Yes. You can focus very close, probably about an inch or so from the subject.

I've had one of these for a year, now, and am ordering another. Yes, it will focus clearly on an object at 6ft, and beyond! I have not tried it for portraiture, but have many times used it instead of my $20,000 Nikon equipment for micro-photography, and every picture has been good enough to enlarge to poster-size. I have been a pro photographer for decades.

I ran a quick test and it appears to take about 18 seconds to do a 180 turn (in fast speed setting.) I use this mostly to shoot dramatic slow pans and stretch them using Photoshop Premier Elements. So, it might work for your needs (hockey skating) but you might only capture parts of the action. (End-to-end?) Great tool for 360 degree pans - as in real estate. Also, has the tilt feature (up and down.)

It will not turn a complete 360* but I have turned one light upside and slightly outward to shine where I needed it. Each light will do this. You just have to turn/twist to get it in the position you want

The height on the mount can be adjusted. So yes you can use your follow focus.
