Hello all,

Now that I have 2 strobes (1 430 and 1 vivvy 285hv), I'd like to get some diffuse light going on (maybe just on one of them).

Does this work for strobes:

Thanks!

No, the problem is the box is made to be supported by the light. Look at a softlighter umbrella, or there are a couple softboxes that are made for speed lights.

Thanks so much for the info.

This is what I was suspecting :(

That 2nd link - does it come with all the required attachment/accessories to use it with a strobe or is that extra?

Thanks again for the help, I appreciate it.
