Is this softbox "compatible" with the Fotodiox grids? Or are there 2 different models of this softbox?

You can use fotodiox grids but they are very delicate (can break easily) . The soft box it self is very durable. I'm sure you can use other brand grids as along as it is the same size as the soft box .

Yes it is compatible, but the image quality through the 2x APO converter is pretty crappy

I haven't tried mine a yet as I was lucky this past year using a set of magnifying lenses for my projects. But I can't see why that Fotodiox macro wouldn't work. the whitenorth Canada

Response to your check list:- Check out Phottix Oden or Stratus for Triggers, if your on a budget.- As far as your Fotodiox Pro 48" Octagon Softbox make sure you get a Bowen Mount Speedring or it will not work.- I would go with a heavy duty light stand about 9ft for stability at the base.- Not really sure about Transformer Converter in your country. Hope this helps.

It will work fine as Julio said as long as you are going to use it with Speedlights/Speedlites. If you look at a beauty dish that already has a bracket (http://www.amazon.com/Fotodiox-Diffuser-Speedring-Speedlite-600EX-RT/dp/B005ODJBR6/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1396181387&sr=8-3&keywords=fotodiox+beauty+dish) you can see it is the exact same thing, except this one has an adapter for a softbox. You can remove the silver part with 4 small bolts and you are good to go. Then if you ever want to use it for a softbox, you can do that as well.

It is a softbox. It is compatible with everything and also nothing. It just diffuses the light from your off camera flash.

You may want to do a search on Youtube. I use it with Lightroom, and it works fine.

I actually found a video on YouTube - just search for soft box setup and the brand name- I found a great tutorial done by a young guy, maybe even a teen!! It was very helpful and I had them up in ten minutes. Hope that helps!

Sarah, Isn't it self explanatory? I use my soft box all of the time. I'm wondering if you have the same one.

I have this running on a 9821W right now. Works well. Foscam cameras are a bit average and it drops out sometimes and loses image occasionally, but I purely blame the camera. Lots of Foscam cameras are identified in the Synology Surv. setup.

That will definitely fit an Einstein. I'm not familiar if it will fit a fotodiox soft box as I'm not familiar with their soft boxes.

Yes, works great. I have the same setup. as an example http://glissonimaging.zenfolio.com/p427149940/h672d194d#h672d194d

I have seen similar flash units with the GODOX brand on them that come with a softbox attachment.. while these flashes are good for the money the mountings to the stand are not that tough so they need to be mounted with care and not overloaded.. the 250w head seem a lot more substantial and can also be found with softboxes if you search

Sorry, I did not like this so I returned it. Don't know if a larger softbox will work.

I know what you mean. After using the softbox, there seems to be no problems with the bracket getting in the way of the light. When you fire that flash, The light is bouncing and spreading every where. I just used it to photograph about 80 individual children at a fall fest. Everything went great.
