can it be used as a replacement for a softbox ?

That all depends. A soft box works by increasing the physical size of the light source, thus softening shadows. The important thing is the size of the light source relative to the object being photographed. The Flashbenders are not that large, but will soften the light when used up close. I suggest you get a better insight into this by going to strobist.com. It's free and very helpful.

I think it would do a decent job of casting a wider dispersement of light, but I don't think it would be nearly as a good as a soft box. Firstly, you would have to aim the reflection just right - with the speed light aimed away from subject and the reflective surface aimed right. A soft box provides the large surface of origin of evenly distributed light. I use the Flash benders a lot for wide light against the back drop or instead of a shoot-through umbrella behind me for added light opposite the soft box. I hope this was helpful. ps I am not a pro or expert.

The small Flashbender with Diffuser overlay creates soft even light without hotspots. It is like a soft box on the camera. I do not think it replaces a soft box that is used for portrait photography. However, the flasbender could be used as a second or third light in a 3 light set- up. I used the Flashbender on camera while photographing a ordination to priesthood ceremony and my photo teacher said the lighting was outstanding. Of course, you still need to adjust power setting on the flash to avoid over or under exposure. The Flashbender yields predictable results.

This is a soft box only, not a light. It's designed to work with lights similar to the NEEWER 180.

Probably not, if your enclosure has a USB 3.0 cable. If so, you should be able to download the cloning software from Samsung & let 'er rip

Yes, it should work with a small soft box. But you would need to make sure that the either the optical slave is not blocked or hooked up to a pc sync socket.

I own this one, the answer is no. Since the center part of the speedlite head will be blocked by the shaft, My guess is there will not be a hot spot in the center of the softbox . Hope this helps.

Yes it can. I use QNAP which offers support for the squeezebox. I got the QNAP some time ago so there may be better options out there right now.

Place rods into plastic housing, place the ends with silver tips into pockets on softbox, work around from there

Not to the best of my knowledge. The internal hardware isn't accessible, let alone interchangeable.

As long as it fits the softbox and the slave can "see" the other strobe or strobe, it should work. I use it as a background light, which is probably a better option.

I doubt it, but that does not mean it is not possible with specialized software. I have not tried to do so and cannot provide an accurate answer for your question.

It is kind of overkill for that purpose. You can get a cheap usb 2.0 or SD card for half the price and it would be fine for that purpose. It is like buying a Ferrari to go grocery shopping.

I do not think so. This is the RAID version of the enclosure so it will reformat the drives to a single volume. Look at the non-RAID version and it might be able to do what you want.

I don't think so. It's pretty basic. Just a box with a button. No visible inputs or outputs.

Yes. And it can work as a personal Cloud Backup as well. Support Dropbox, Box and Drive integration too!

Yes; I have extracted a number of laptop drives from dead laptops and used in this manner. Any drive enclosure made for appropriate drive type will work.

Yes it will,. Its a little heavy when you add the softbox. Just make sure you have a good stand
