What else would i need to buy for this to make it work with my 383's or 580ex? I have lightstands and wireless triggers, just wanna know how would i be able to mount the softbox to the flash and stand? I was also considering the westcott 28" softbox but read some reviews and think this would be better for me.

Thx for your help

Heres a link to the morris one

If you are talking about this:

Than I recommend the Bogen 2905/026:

It's very strong and well made.

If you're using a 580EX on it, just use the included plastic foot.
If you don't have a foot to use for your other flashes, something like this may work.

There have been several threads going on about the Morris lately, do a quick search for some other ideas...

Photoflex Litedome Softbox is nice but I just wish the softbox size was bigger.

I've used the smaller Apallo & own 2 of the Morris softboxes. Dig em both. Went with the Morris for the price. I use the Photofelx Multiclamp to mount to the stand and the combo works great.
