I see the hole for the a umbrella to attach...Is there a away of mounting a softbox or beauty dish?

If you don't count brolly boxes then the short answer is no. There is no natural way to mount modifiers as the built in reflector is too large for Bowens or Paul Buff mounts to slide over and lack any place for them to attach. Otherwise stick to umbrellas and brolly boxes.

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

Spend enough money, and you can make anything fit. But, no, there is no inexpensive way to attach them. My softbox comes with its own lighting system.

Yes, the attachment for the umbrella is at the base where the stand bracket attaches to the strobe. You may lose some light do not having a the reflector.

As far as I've ever seen, most light stands do not supply a hole for umbrellas or other rod attachments. I've owned multiple Manfrotto, Norman, Bowens and off-brand stands(including these) and none have ever had an umbrella hole. There it a small adapter that you can purchase that goes on top of a light stand that has a hole and threaded screw for mounting an umbrella. I would recommend you buy a couple of them for umbrella mounting. They are interchangeable on any light stand.

The inside hole is about 2 in. diameter. If you wanted to put the umbrella pole down through, it would be possible as long as it fit! Good idea!

Softboxes mount to the light, not to a stand. That is why you have to buy one with a speed ring for your light.

The system is designed for soft-boxes, not umbrellas. The bulb holder is very large to accomodate for 5 very-large light-bulbs, so you might be able to hack-it and attach umbrellas somehow, but they would be off-center. I would not recommend this system for umbrellas. I have been using it with the softboxes for a year now (a few times) and it is nice but very cheap... would not hold for very frequent assembling and disassembling.

I would suggest get the umbrella kit, drill hole in center board and attach a bracket that should be in the kit

This unit is desighned for a light stand . It bcan be used on a tripod with the use of a 1/4 x20 all thread rod connector ,available at your local hardware . Put coupling on tripod tread then place umbrella mount on coupling.

No.....there are no extra holes or good places to clamp an umbrella that I can think of. It is small enough to move or put underneath a patio umbrella.

You need a light stand socket attachment such as LimoStudio 2 x New Studio AC Socket Light Stand Mount Umbrella Holder, AGG428These have a mount that attaches to the nub on the top of the light stand. Quality and price vary so be sure to research.

A softbox/octobox or beauty dish is designed to be attached in place of the reflector, you cannot attach both at the same time, only one.

There is a small square cutout at the bottom of the flash to insert an umbrella shaft. there is a small hand screw to tighten the shaft secure. It works just fine. I only used an umbrella once (I normally use a soft box). I hope this helps.

Sure you could. Just use a hole saw to make the hole whatever diameter you need for the umbrella. (Drill bits would work too but not as clean)

Yes you can but you need to make sure that you get the right umbrella and measure the umbrella slot so it fit secure.

Though I gave this as a gift, I don't think that it will support an umbrella. It is kind of lightweight. I don't recall a hole in the middle either.

Hi Marie, Nope. The hole isn't big enough for an umbrella pole to go through. However, Amazon does have outdoor table Lazy Susans. I found this one for you and there are others - Royal Tahiti 20" Round Lazy Susan w/umbrella Hole (Stain) (1.25H x 20W x 20D) - some are glass and some are tiered. Hope this helps. Kathy

Hi Saied, Yes. It shows the mounting hole (with the metal tab and knob) in the photo, and it mentions "Adjust the umbrella and flash in different angle" Happy shooting! Betty
