AlanU Cream of the Crop More info | Jul 07, 2011 14:33 | #8 Tell me how you like it. I have the wescott 28 and it is a tad cumbersome. I like using my pw flex unit and adjust manual flash remotely with AC3. 5Dmkiv |5Dmkiii | 24LmkII | 85 mkII L | | 16-35L mkII | 24-70 f/2.8L mkii| 70-200 f/2.8 ISL mkII| 600EX-RT x2 | 580 EX II x2 | Einstein's

Maybe I can call Adorama & ask if either of these will work. Thanks for posting them! AlanU wrote in post #12720339 Tell me how you like it. I have the wescott 28 and it is a tad cumbersome. I like using my pw flex unit and adjust manual flash remotely with AC3. Tilting the box is kinda goofy with the zipper slots on the bottom limiting tilting range. I do like the size your getting though. I will! I have been using umbrellas & am excited at having this big ole softbox Michelle Brooks Photography

Oh and Adorama responded to my inquiry about using one of the suggested tools with it that "either should work" so I orderd the Paul Buff mini arm thing.... " You attach a softbox to your light, not the stand. It's supposed to attach to a strobes modifier attachment. R6, 6D EF 24-70 MkI - TS-E 90mm 2.8 - EF 85mm 1.8 - Σ 50mm 1.4 - Σ 15mm 2.8
