Not this particular softbox. It uses a swivel bracket and mounts like an umbrella.

Ahh. Thanks for hte clarification

I got my softbox set up Sat. & took some test shots of my husband & wow, was I impressed! Wonderful catchlight, nice soft lighting...I ordered that Pual Buff mini boom arm & it's on its way so we'll see if that provides a little more ability to tilt (which, yeah, I could see where that's kind of a bummer not to be able to do as is). Can't wait to actually use this on a shoot!

Michelle,
The PCB 'baby boomer' really is a handy little arm. It won't give you a huge amount of tilt, but often it gives just enough to aim it the way you need. It's compact and unobtrusive ( and inexpensive ) so it's certainly a no brainer to have it on hand.

Thanks, George! It's nice to have someone tell you a product will work; I'm usually just hoping it will till I get it!
