Can I use this to mount a 60" Fotodiox octagon softbox to an Einstein E640 light?

This is for Alien Bees, but if the mounting is the same as a B400/800 etc, which it appears to be, then yes.Perhaps email Paul C Buff for a definitive answer. info@paulcbuff.com

Jason,I can't speak in terms of the softbox that you've mentioned, because I don't have that specific model, but I can say that the speedring fits my Einsteins perfectly. I hope that helps.Anthony

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.

Yep. I have put much bigger strobe and softbox on it. It is really very sturdy. Got one for the studio and liked it so much we bought another. It is very bulky but strong.

If you made a larger plate to attach to the one for optomas then yes. But if not you would only be able to get one screw in the Epson and the weight is to big. I do love the mount but if you were able to get a piece that of metal n drill holes it would def work. That's my plan anyway when I upgrade to the big Epson down the road

You can put it on a 1/4-20 light stand with this adapter Interfit Strobies Hotshoe to Lightstand with 1/4" female adapterOr any light stand with this one CowboyStudio Flashlight /Hot Shoe/Umbrella Holder with Swivel/Tilt Bracket for Nikon and Canon E430 E580 SB600 SB800 SB900

If you get the Alienbees ring adapter yes. But this is a very heavy, large Octobox! It may not be good for a small unit like the Einstein 640. Not sure but I have large strobes and it weighs heavy on them! Some photographer friends of mine use rope to keep tension off strobe light. Hope this helped.

The FotoDiox softbox diffuser uses an adjustable Velcro strap to attach to a speedlight head. It should fit an 568EX.

The universal ring should fit almost any strobe. Be aware that the soft box is not just large, but very heavy, use a strong stand. The weight of the softbox broke the mount of a similarly priced studio strobe I used. Be sure the mount for your strobe is metal or you may lose a strobe.

The pin is on the bottom so doesn't affect where the speedlite mounts. The pin is probably designed to mate to one of Stroboframe's brackets. I have this adapter sitting on a 3/8" to 1/4" adapter (so it'll fit my light stand's stud). The adapter measures 16mm across and the pin doesn't interfere.

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 .

I haven't tried attaching a softbox to it actually, but that is a good idea! It depends if the softbox will wrap around it. I assume you will have to possibly add velcro strips or tape to keep it on there temporarily. I actually like your idea of the softbox because even at it's lowest setting, it is very bright!

i believe you would need a flashpoint to bowens speedring to mount the octabox to the rovelight. look on amazon or adorama.

Perhaps the manufacturer will chime in. As a purchaser I can say the light panel works just fine with the stand I use for my flash--a Britek 4068C. It was relatively inexpensive.

Maybe if you had the right Bracket. However it is a big soft box for a speed light. I use mine with an alien bees Studio Strobe.

it is for E26 based bulb socket for softbox. So it won't be compatible w/flash bulb.

The attachment rim of this light is 3 3/4 inch. if the adapter of your soft box is greater than that and, if it has adjustment screws (most do) to attach it, it should work. perhaps the only limiting factor would be the projection and weight of the softbox which might make the stand unstable. However, while my soft box is smaller (3ft X 2ft) I have no issues with instability,

Yes, I believe it would... you'll have to un-screw the two thumb screw Brakes that keep the flange ring from spinning in the cast ring, then, un-screw the two Phillips head screws keepers that keep the flange ring from coming out completely. Then remove the flange ring, and put the Flash-S-Insert in to the cast ring in place of the flange ring (mine is an Alien Bees flange), then put the screws back in. Alternately, you could purchase an additional speed ring setup and do this to just it... then when you want to use your speed light, just un-hook the 4 flex rods from your soft box and re-insert then into your alternate speed light ring setup... that would be faster, but either way will work. No guarantees... I'm in no way affiliated with Fotodiox and my opinion and extent of my liability for the correctness of any information supplied or inferred is worth exactly what you paid for it! ;-) Good luck!

yes. But the design is not the best as you can not push the flash close enough inside the box. unless you are using a large flash head such as a SB 900 your flash might not go into the box. I can still use my sb 600 but there is light loss. I'm using it for my bare bulb monologhts and it works well. be careful if you are using a hot shoe trigger such as the PocketWizard flex system or the yongunuo triggers. you will be forced to mount these backwards and have to turn the flash head to the rear which makes it even more difficult to fit it into the box.
