Are the flash units detachable?

Yes, but it is not obvious. On the holder on the ring, at the rear of the holder, below a small camera type shoe mount, push the toggle down and slide the flash out of the shoe. The electric cable only gives you about 18 inches from the ring's power supply. The flash units have individual 1/4 inch standard camera receptacles on the bottom, so they can be positioned on appropriate tripods or other 1/4 inch platforms for precise close in work. And the unit takes 4 AA batteries. Good in a way (cheap, reliable), but you have to remember to replace them before they go bad and corrode the inside of the battery case. I try to replace all sleeping batteries every spring and fall equinox. Yes, but it is not obvious.

You can detach the heads from the ring mount, yes. They do not detach from the flash body as they are tethered by their power cords which do not detach.

Yes. They have the usual clip type attachment and the light can be detached from the mount.

You must buy flash separately but it does have the brackets to hold them in place.

They are detachable but you will have a wire going a cross the gap which limits the distance you can move it

Yes. Exactly. You can use one at the camera'a hot shoe and one other at each flash being controlled by it. Just stop looking and buy it. There's not even a closer solution available at the same price range.

The inner diffuser is removable, but I feel the unit is well designed as is. I measured the output of my Nikon SB-700 fired in manual with a PocketWizard AC3 and Mini TT1 triggering the flash via a Flex TT5. I used a Sekonic L-358 to measure the output of the speed light without the SMDV Diffuser 60 and then again with the Diffuser 60. From a distance of about 9 feet, I got a reading of f/9, (ISO 200, 1/125 sec.) without the soft box, and f/8, (ISO 200, 1/125 sec.) with the flash attached to the soft box. This test was with the inner diffuser attached as shipped from the factory.

Yes, but you have to send the unit to China, so it costs more for shipping than to just buy a new one. Also, I do not recommend this flash. The light quality is very poor, with a slow, sloppy fall off and hot center. While I love other products from this company, this one is a dud.

This is not a Flash/Light unit itself.it is only a softbox attachment/cover to fit on a flash/speedlight. It has no electrical parts.

Yes it does, off can be accessed via the navigation button right side then select the flash then select ok

Not at all, there is a generous space for the lense and flash. It is shaped sort of like a bowl. Very good for flash. No hindrance.
1916013
Yes you can. ALso if you can disable the optical trigger on the flash unit you can do a zoning setup were all you have to do is change what the transmitter is is set on.

No, it just keeps it out of the way. Can also just let it dangle if you want to use the flash.

I would say yes you do, unless your flash has its own built-in threaded socket. Even if your flash has a threaded socket, the flash would then be stuck in one position, so having an adjustable mounting bracket should be more useful. I got some nice ball-and-socket brackets on-line, not at Amazon, for less than $7 each.

Yes, you can disconnect the light unit. There are instructions in the box that explain how to do this.

You can remote 1 (one) flash without it, but if you use two or three flashes, it is required. Hope this helped.

Yes they are detachable. All you have to do is twist them off by hand no tools needed.

Yes, you can detach them or just not plain install them. It's really versatile and work in my cubical.
