Canon 580EX II and EZYBox Hotshoe 24x24" Question

I ordered the EZYBOX HOTSHOE 24x24" w/ M2 BRACKET from BH and it will be delivered Friday. I'm going to need it for a shoot on Monday, so I won't have time to order anything that I would be missing after opening the item. Can someone confirm that I do not need any additional brackets or mounts for this flash/softbox combination?

Thanks!

I think you'll be all set as long as you have a lightstand to put it on and something to trigger the flash.

I am looking for a light stand too, because I doubt my Manfrotto Nano Stands will hold it even indoors. My cybersyncs will trigger. Got a light stand I should look at?

I've put my 24" ezybox on Manfrotto Nano's all the time without problem. Wind is another problem.

I've got the Manfrotto 004B light stand, along with the Manfrotto 026 (Lite-tite) swivel umbrella adapter that I use with the 24" ezybox and a 540ez or 580exII. I've never used it outside though, not sure I would trust it. I also have manfrotto nano setup, but I'm not comfortable putting the ezybox on that.

I like the stand below better:
Impact Air-cushioned heavy duty 9.5ft $38.95

I have a couple of these 9.5' Impact stands and they're great.

The only bad thing about them is the rather high minimum height...

I know what you mean.. hard to get a nice small bag for them, minimum I think is about 44 to 45 inches,I still havent' got a travelling bag for them..
But they are good stands though.

BTW: Welcome back, I haven't seen any of your post in a while.

Third?! Good for you!

We're going to stop at one, thank you... hehe

This will be my parents first grandchild and I am one of 5 of their kids. (Middle child.)
I'm the only one to have gone to bat! lol
They are very excited to say the least.

Our first child is coming any day now. Due in 5 days. The Lastolite EXYBox 24" is a different story. It arrived on time this morning and came with everything I need. It's awesome.
