Can this umbrella be used with b10 or b10 plus
Can this umbrella be used with b10 or b10 plus
Yes, they are lightweight so no problem with the mount, but i'm not sure if the Profoto flat face strobes will fill the entire umbrella. That's not a problem, but you could get by with a smaller umbrella. I mostly use a silver westcott umbrella and Profoto flat face strobes don't quite fill the umbrella to the edges.

Using this umbrella, about how wide of a light throw can you get? In short, if I was photographing a group that is 20 feet wide, and I had the umbrella facing the group (with enough wattage) do you think it would light side to side of the group? Specifically outdoors, where there is no bounce from ceilings?
If you are to use this outdoors, when bouncing from the interior of the umbrella I would make certain you have a black backed umbrella to keep light from escaping through the back.

Does front diffusion come with this item? Which front diffusion would work with this umbrella?
If you want to add an additional layer of diffusion and bounce with instead of through this umbrella, you can use the Diffuser by Westcott. https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/851106-REG/Westcott_4631D_Umbrella_Diffuser_for_Parabolic.html/?ap=y&ap=y&smp=y&smp=y&lsft=BI%3A514&gclid=CjwKCAiAv4n9BRA9EiwA30WND7hwmxPesflpizTChvfhcN0kLx2NMCHdPJAFTZ6C3YBNQeJLkWwpJhoC8VgQAvD_BwE

question
How does this achieve shoot-thru and bounce?
This works the same way as any other umbrella. I would suggest the black backed umbrella for bounce work. I often use this as a large diffused source with an Alien Bee when shooting groups. It is also great in the summer to throw up on a stand and use it to soften direct sunlight.

question
What is the recommended wattage needed to light up a group of people?
Indoors or outdoors is a huge difference. I use 640 watt second lights, two for smallish groups, three for large ones to avoid shadows.
