Steve Kaeser umbrella softbox? AWESOME

i do have a cactus trigger but unfortunately keeps on misfiring. so i bought the new cactus v5.

any updates guys regarding the bracket? is it the c-type bracket? im using some Yongnuo flashes and 580ex

This is what I use to get the YN-560/580EX to stick into the brolly box.

or just search ebay for 'Flash Umbrella Light Stand Holder Bracket Mount C Type'

thanks brandon. can you post pix of how u do it?
been searching and found this guys rig http://www.flickr.com …/in/set-72157619899791427
and i found this Umbrella Tilt Head

it's similar to the top half of the first photo you posted.

You set everything up so that the flash is pointing straight up at the ceiling, then you rotate that ball section on the bracket 90 degrees, so that the entire flash is parallel with the ground. The flash remains straight, you don't bend the flash head at all.

so you didn't purchase any additional bracket? might as well try it.

Oh, yeah, sorry.. I assumed you had an umbrella bracket to hold the brolly box.. so the bracket goes on top the umbrella adapter.

Light stand connection to umbrella mount via 1/4" screw. (This is the umbrella mount I use for speedlites - http://www.adorama.com​/LTUSH.html )

Umbrella mount connects to C-bracket via cold/shoe mount.

Flash sits in C-bracket.

Then the whole thing gets set up so that the entire flash (head+body) can be held parallel with the ground and it sticks into the brolly box.

ok thank you again brandon. kudos to you!

Its a real pity that that umbrella bracket does not seem to be available outside of the US.

An excellent alternative is either the Manfrotto 026 or the Type H on ebay

which bracket? this one? http://cgi.ebay.com …m4cf738409c#ht_​3600wt_907

Yep.

Until I found the TypeH bracket, I used to curse the weight of three or four Manf 026s.

hi guys im here again. i just bought the c- type bracket and i was thinking if my idea will work.
Im planning to mount this ADorama to the C-type bracket. i dunno if this is will feet in the c-type bracket or even hold my flash. I've sent question regarding this to adorama via ebay account but still no answer.

just got the umbrella softbox but i payed additional $35 bucks. ive read somewhere that there are no dues or whatsoever if the photographic equipment was purchased in the usa?is this right?

Here is the exact same thing on Amazon:

Softbox

Its the same one that I bought.

I clicked on this link and looked at the technical details about half way down. It show 2 - 40" umbrellas. So do you get to umbrellas for that price?

Never mind. I figured it out. Hard to believe at that price. I just can't figure out why Amazon won't ship to my address in Canada.
