Questions & Answers

KEN F : are there instructions for assembly?KURT S : no instructions in the box I received, should be very straightforward to assemble though. NOTE this unit can not be used by its self, you must purchase a flash mount for the bars that come with the Octobox to be placed into. this is NOT a stand alone product. the web page does not make this clear and I am unable to get a mount for my Speedlite 600ex.KELVIN N : There are no instruction included. You have to go to Interfit site for instructions. You will have to order the Interfit Flex Mount for the type od flash you have. If your flash is not listed, you will have to measure across the widest part of the flash and cross reference. I hope this help!BRUCE E : No. This is not a stand-alone item. It needs a mount (accessary) to the flash. Instructions came with the mounting accessary.JERALD A : A year and a half later i STILL don't have an answer to that question! Mine is sitting on the shelf useless.. =(JOSEPH A : Yes, assembly is easy.RUSS W : I would not recommend this product. I bought it only to realize after receiving it that it needed an adapter ring to attach to the flash. The I find out that the ring for this octobox is no longer made. Waste of money.
Shopper : does this octbox need any adapter to fit canon 580 ex2 hot shoe flash?ARNALDO T : Yes needs an adapter "The Interfit Flex Mount adapter (available separately) " Interfit Photographic Strobies Flex Mount for Lumopro LP160/Promaster 7500EDFVERONICA C : yes. i ordered it not knowing that and it doesn't work... you'ld have to call and ask someone what it is because i can't remember what thay told me.TIM P : Yes, it needs the Interfit Flex Mount adapter that is made for that flash. Note: You will not be able to use the flash on camera, you will have to put it on a stand. Just look up the Interfit Flex Mount adapter and look for the one that fits your flash. By the way, it really works nice. You might also look for the other accessories like the barn doors and the honeycomb and snoot. I got them for my spare flash, the Vivitar 285. Another note: When you set this up, you will not want to break it down, so if you get any other accessories you will need another Interfit Flex Mount adapter.PAUL M. F : Hi. Yes, and adaptor IS required. Look at the Interfit's web site to determine the adaptor to fit your flash, I remember many were for Canon flashes. Be aware that some of the adaptors are not compatable with the octagonal softbox, since they mount only 4 rods, not eight. This fact was not apparent on Adorama's site, or Interfit's. This was the case for the only adaptor to fit my Nikon SB-600. I found the exception noted on the box. I happen to have the equipment to modify the adaptor (so it works), but you may not.
Shopper : Why Did You Choose This?TIM P : Portability and makes for a great fill light or hair light.ARNALDO T : dosent fit right dosent like product

I got a lemon

I am giving this product 3 stars, because I already had one, and was very satisfied with it. It is very small, and that makes it easier to move around; but at the same time, the larger the light source, the softer the light. This one came INCOMPLETE: The plastic BASE that attaches to the flash was MISSING, so I have not been able to use it!

BEWARE - DOES NOT WORK WITH SB800

Although the SGM100 is listed as a recommended accessory. This unit DOES NOT WORK with the SGM100 and therefore is incompatible with Nikon strobes. The unit requires a lot of assembly instead of a popup like most others.

Nice light modifier

Nice construction and design except for when it comes to mounting. You also need to get an adapter for your flash in addition to this product. I wanted it for Vivitar 283, but they only had 285. Managed to adapt the 285 to my 283 with snap on filter holder.

About Interfit 12 inch (30cm) Strobie Off-Camera Octobox

With Interfit's Strobie Off-Camera Octobox (12"/30cm), you can create studio-quality lighting using your on-camera flash. This 12" (30 cm) Ocotobox is for off-camera use only, as the Ocotobox would block the lens if mounted on the camera. The Interfit Flex Mount adapter (available separately) is required to use the Octobox. This softbox is ideal for use with a flash mounted on a stand, bracket or boom arm. The soft light produced is particularly fine for portraits.
