question

Will my AD200 work well with this softbox? or does AD200 lack power for this softbox?
Asked by: Don Ryan S.
I happen to use that same combination so yes, the softbox will work with the AD200. Of course, if you're outdoors in bright sunlight more power is better.

question

Will this fit Aputure LS C120 which is Bowens S mount? Do you foresee compatibility issues?
Asked by: Craig
This octobox is available with a standard Bowens S-Mount speedring. This will allow it to be used with any Bowens S-Mount compatible flash. I use it with a FlashPoint XPLOR 600 but you should be fine using it on the Aputure.

question

Does this light modifier have one of those speed rings that allow you to rotate the modifier about in place?
Asked by: Yi Fan C.
@Yinger W. What I meant to ask was, when the Softbox is attached to my Bowens mount strobe, will I be able to rotate the Octabox independently of the speed ring? As further explaination, the speed ring will remain in place, attached to the mount, and the entire Octabox will rotate to achieve a different orientation. This does not really matter much for an Octa box as the shape ultimately doesn't change much even with a different orientation, but for things like strip boxes and soft boxes it can help to achieve different styles of lighting.
