Will this soft box interphere or block the the AF-assist beam sensor on the Canon Speedlite 430EXII?

I have used it on the 430 and have not encountered any problems with blocking the beam. I like the way the photos come out that I purchased another softbox several months later.

I have that flash and it does not interfere with the flash sensor as long as you mount the soft box correctly

Sorry I can't answer for sure. I have a Nikon, not Canon. It looks like it would block the AF lamp but my camera also has a lamp that would work. Besides, I haven't used this in truly LOW light yet.

In low light I am pretty sure it will interfere. But I've never noticed it.

I use the Speedlite for my 7 D and have no exprrience with other Canon body. Sorry. It is great with my camera. No worry with underpower.

I would need more infor on your interfit softbox to let you know. I am using this speed ring for my beauty dish, soft box and a lot more light modifiers.

The soft box has a generic opening that I don't believe to be compatible with other flashes. The however, if you have an additional light stand for the flash and one for the soft box you could possibly shoot through. I would just recommend buying a compatible soft box for your specific flash.

Yes it will. I use it as the master and slave my other Speedlites. All controls are located in your camera menu. Hope this helps.

Yes but in that position, it prevents the flash from popping up. When I need the flash AND the GPS, I let the GPS hang by the side.

It is a bayonet mount, requiring a 90 degree twist to engage the detent. While it engages behind a polarizer, it is virtually impossible to turn the filter, as there is little room between the filter's diameter and the hood. Also, if using it in conjunction with the built-in flash, it will block a semicircle of light at the bottom of shot - so it should be removed if using the camera's built-in flash. I have not tried it with a Speedlight flash unit, but suspect it would do the same.

It just so happens that yesterday I tried the 2.0 on my 7D Mark II with the new 100-400 II lens and it lost its AF function. It works fine with the 1.4 extender, though.

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,

Why wouldn't it? If you're using a speedlight and it's on, the built-in won't pop-up anyway, not to mention the fact that it physically blocks it. Not sure why you would ever use a built-in when you have a speedlight attached.

I've only used this with Canon flashes. Unfortunately you will probably have to return this and buy a cold shoe stand specific to Nikon.

No. The speed ring is made to fit studio flash heads. It is way too big for camera mounted flashes. The Fotodiox Ez-Pro Flash Softbox K50 20" will allow you to use a Canon 430 flash on a light stand like a studio flash. Or the Fotodiox 6"x8" Softbox for Flash, Speedlight will mount on a Canon 430 flash for use on the camera.

Yes, it will work with any standard shoe mount, adjustable height and distance between the flash and the softbox.

Speedlights attach with a sliding seat (hot-shoe sized) for the plate on the bottom of the speedlight. A knurled knob tightens and holds the speedlight in position. This allows the speedlight to be positioned closer/farther-away form the back of the softbox. Another sliding adjustment on the L-shaped bracket raises/lowers the speelight. I use 430EXs with this and they work fine; I am able to position them in the center of the opening. I believe there is sufficient room on the sliding brackets to accommodate the larger 600s. To be sure, you could post a question to Westcott.

Yep, absolutely. It does not interfere with the camera lens. It does interfere with the flash projection a bit though, the same way that it would if you had a thick case on it.

Yes, it does, i'm using it quite often to control off camera ttl flash in the softbox.however my set of pixel king has a tendency to overexpose a lot, so usually i dial -2 exp. compensation on my d700.

I have a Canon speedlite 430EX and it fits very snug and perfectly. It's flexible and seems as though it would fit several models. Although, honestly I haven't tried it, so take that into account. I never have issues with it falling off, if anything, it's heavy with my flash and will tilt forward sometimes.
