Manfrotto Quad Bracket for Ezybox

Several points to make here. First, it's very helpful to have 4 speedlites in the 42 inch Ezybox. Two is stretching it in terms of light output in a typical studio setting and I'm using Nikon SB910's. The included cable to connect one Pocket Wizard TTL to 4 SB910's doesn't work, or if it does work, I haven't figured it out. I have this question sent to PocketWizard to confirm that and the answer is pending. However, and most importantly, you can fit 4 SB910's, each with a TTL Pocketwizard controller to this frame (which by the way is very solid.) The "trick" to is to totally remove the cold shoe attachments on the frame, mount them to the PocketWizard/flash combos and them remount them in the frame. They all fit. I almost gave up on the unit when I tried to mount the flashes without removing the cold shoes, so don't even try that. I should add that the quality of light in a recent studio shoot that I did with this box/light combo was outstanding and of course light output and recycle time was excellent. An additional tip: turn on the flashes before you attach the Ezybox, because it's difficult/impossible to reach the flash controls from the back of combined unit. A final plus is that there are two different diameter umbrella mounting holes, so this is ideal for use with any umbrella. I highly recommend this unit.
