question
I'm using a Wescott Reflector mounted on a tripod. I want to mount my 580 EXII to the reflector tripod and the transmitter to my camera. What do I use to mount the Flash to the tripod? I don't want to be wired to the tripod with a synch cord (thus getting this system) but I don't have anything other than a synch cord for mounting to the tripod setup.
Hi. I just saw your question from a few years back and I thought I would chime in too. Check out something like this: https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1305521-REG/impact_dub_2_deluxe_umbrella_bracket_with.html It's a bracket that you can attach a flash or a transmitter to and also attach a soft box. I use a Westscott softbox and kit comes with a cold shoe mount in the kit. I think the Godox transmitter and receiver would be a cheaper solution and a better solution if the flash is hidden by a softbox or reflector. Good luck.

question
would the infra-red focus assist light function of the ST-E2 work with a Nikon D850?
Unfortunately, the AF assist beam would not function if the ST-E2 is mounted on a Nikon D850.

question
Has anyone used this as strictly a focus assist tool in low light situations (without a flash)? I have one and it's never let me down, in/out doors but I'm trying to use less flash, had a lot of focus issues last wedding (dark venue). I tried experimenting around the house last night, seems to work just wondering if anyone uses it for this purpose, thanks.
Yes you could use this Canon ST-E2 Speedlite Transmitter for that purpose, it has a built-in AF Assist Beam.
