I use triple coldshoe adapter to hold three speedlites when I use my 7' umbrella. Will this work with my setup? I can't really envision how it works.

I use it, but setup a little different. I don't use my triple speedlight adapter to mount to the stand. What I do is put the triple mount on the shaft, then I slide the diffuser opening over the shaft, then I use a standard umbrella mount to attach it to the stand. This gives more flexibility for tilting the umbrella, etc. I definitely like how it works.

To see how it works with 3 lights check out the youtube video 'Triple Threat Real Deal Review'. Don't know if urls will show up here, but here it is. --> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o0Ut1OKiaWk

The light stands have a standard screw threaded head. Depending on reflectors You'll need either a flash adapter like this: http://www.amazon.com/Flash-Holder-compatible-Canon-Speedlite/dp/B003TYDBYQ/ref=pd_ys_sf_s_172282_a1_3_p or another connector. I use my stands with a 24" umbrella reflector and a flash gun, with no problems. The stand are very stable.

Yes, the umbrella fits on a spot on the reflector and from what I can tell it will work with the Bowes speed ring but I. Have not tried it yet.

I use it with a 9ft umbrella. i don't see why it wouldn't support a foot or two larger umbrella

Ive used the Manfrotto 026 Swivel Lite-Tite Umbrella Adapter with a yongnuo speedlite & something similar to this CowboyStudio 43" Black and White Reflective Photography Studio Brolly Box. I dont dare put any more weight on it. I think itd honestly break.

Not well at all I'm afraid. This item wasn't designed to do what you're suggesting. This was meant to hold reflectors and for that, it does a great job. For your needs, may I suggest you doing a search for "Kupo Baby Boom" or "Avenger Mini Boom". Keep in mind, that these are just arms and will require a lightstand. Finally, please do sandbag your lightstand, whether you go with a metal boom arm or a plastic one, the weight of the strobe in a softbox could be enough to topple it the entire set-up. ---Update--- So rather than give you an answer based on my assumptions, I pulled this out, put it on a lightstand and gave it a go. The end of the arm is thinner at the end but for what I'm not sure. It's way too thin for an umbrella bracket, but I put mine on anyways and I tightened it. Now it does fits, but I wouldn't call it a snug fit. Next I put my speedlight on the umbrella. It's doable at this point BUT... next I extended the arm about 3 feet and this is where I start to get nervous. The arm is bending slightly. My gear wouldn't feel safe if I extended it further. Add a softbox on it and it will fall apart from the umbrella mount. I'm sure you could McGuyver a solution but you're better off sticking to a metal boom arm.

you will need a cold shoe mount for your flash, and an umbrella bracket...but yes it suitable for your flash.

I purchased a Stroboframe cold shoe mount, haven't had to use as yet, as the one that comes kit this kit does the job. To be able to tilt, buy something like manfrotto 026 tilt adapter, I have one and works a treat!

I have the adapter and bought the stroboframe bracket shoe as well but that was a mistake because the Stroboframe shoe mount has a notch underneath not shown in the picture that hinders it from being useful. Get the Vello brand shoe mount!!

I don't see why not. It will as long as you got the proper mount hold any speedlite.

I use the SB800 with small umbrella and it works great. If you want more power, you can upgrade to the SB900ish. I have a friend who has one and it work a bit better because it produce more flash power.

Hello J Dixon. What do you mean cold shoe? This turns the Sony "multi media" connection into a hot shoe. I used this to trigger a wireless flash system for my NEX 5N and it has been perfect! Not one problem. I wish I could say that with all the cheap Chinese flashes I've gone thru. What a joke! I hope this helps? I see you're going to use it with a mic? Not sure how you probably no better than i do

I use and recommend the Neewer S-Type Bracket Holder with Bowens Mount for Speedlite Flash (available on Amazon around $20). It's far easier to mount and operate than the other bowens speedlite adaptors.

If your speedlite will work on a cannon hotshoe then I would guess yes. The product is very durable for the price and worked well (: I used it to trigger a remote speedlite.
