It doesn't need a speed ring to attach it to a flash head. Simply open it, and slide the shaft into the umbrella receptor on the flash head or the umbrella swivel supporting your speedlite. The 28" Apollo can be used with a flash, fluorescent sources, or hot lights up to 300 watts.

Can I use with Amaran COB 60d?
Can I use with Amaran COB 60d?
Jessica, please reread my question. I stated the Amaran COB 60d, not, the LS 60d. You have answered based on the wrong product.

question
Are there any CFL fixtures that will work with this? Looking for this to pull double duty for stills as well as video. I know the D5 will fit in the orb, looking to put a continuous light in here as well.
From Westcott's Apollo product description The 28 Apollo can be used with flash, fluorescent sources or hot lights up to 500 watts .

question
Would this work nicely on the AD600 and AD200?
This Medium Apollo will pair nicely with the AD200. I would suggest using it with the bare bulb in a rear facing position to maximize the spread of light in the modifier. The size of the AD600 and therefore the fit inside the box may not make it ideal unless you use the accessory H600b remote head.

question
How can this soft box be used for video lighting. Please include exact recommendations of which lights to consider using.
I didn't use this for video lighting I used this for my external flash on my camera. Given your specific question I would think that if you used a 100+ watt bulb you should be able to use it for video, easily.

question
Can the box be tilted? If so, what keeps it in place? Thanks.
I love it. It is really easy to carrier with me, set up for shoot photo ad.

question
Can this be carried in a 28 suitcase if taken out of the box? What are the actual dimensions?
Straight out of my box, it measures about 35 in.from end to end. Somewhat similar to a large umbrella. When opened it is 28 28. across. Height is approximately 24 in. when standing on a surface in an open position, dome downward.

question
Guys Do you think I can use this Softbox with a Strobe head light also ? or just speedlite flash ?
I used it before with an Alien Bees, works but pretty tight in there. Works better with speedlight.

question
Will this softbox work with an optical trigger? Since the flash is enclosed I was not sure if it would prevent the transmission of the signal from camera to flash.
Honest answer is: I don't know. I use the 10m(33ft) cord that Syl Arena recommends. It allows you to control the OCF from the camera's menus. Don't use a curly one, you will pull the light stand over!
