question

Does E-TTL still work when this is used on your on camera flash?
Asked by: laura s.
I used it on my Canon 430EX II and it works fine in ETTL. You may have to set the exposure brightness one stop brighter, but it wasn't really that bad as is.

question

does it work for an LED hotlight for video?
Asked by: Arthur
That would depend on the size of the LED. But long story short, as long as it can physically fit inside the back of the softbox, it should work fine.
