It looks like the bracket inside gets in the way of the light emitted from the flash. Is that true? Hard to tell from the photo

Yes it is a little clunky. I've only used it a few times so I'm still trying to figure out the best way to set it up quickly. The build is nice.

The umbrella mechanism is in the way of the flash, not the bracket. But everything inside is silver and it reflects with the lining of the box. I thought it was going to be a problem, but I didn't notice any shadows. The pictures turned out to be great.

I know what you mean. After using the softbox, there seems to be no problems with the bracket getting in the way of the light. When you fire that flash, The light is bouncing and spreading every where. I just used it to photograph about 80 individual children at a fall fest. Everything went great.

Yeahgirl. It does. But it's still hot. Message me at anthony@anthonybellissimo.com for a photo of the flash firing inside of the box to see how it fills. Got your back.

The light fixture is held by a nut to the frame. The bulb covers it. The lens cover is just a clip in.

No Amy, and Ive actually had this problem on some previous cases before but it leaves more than enough space for the lens and flash to work properly without interference! hope this helps! :)

I am not sure but the bracket opens up a good bit. I have never used Nikon flashes and dont know how wide the flashes bases are.

No it doesn't, you have to get a bracket if your flash doesn't have one. It's a Bowen type mount, so you might be able to find a bracket with a rotating ring. But it's so round, that for me, I don't need it to rotate.

`I have experienced this as well, especially with inside photos, no flash comes out too dark, flash is too light. There is an adjustment to the amount of brightness on the flash, just haven't "played" with the camera enough to be proficient at it.

Not necessarily, I did, however, have to put something in front of the light, because with the brackets it definately seems to be designed to that effect. hope this helps.

it is kind of strong. I bought a "Collapsible Softbox Light Modifier for On - Camera", it fits right on the bulb and softens the light.

Unfortunately your having the same problem I and another friend have had. You can zip tie the light to the mounting bracket and still have the ability to remove the light ad bracket together and it will look a bit cleaner than tying it to the bars. It's not the lights best feature but we did get a lot of lumens for the price...not a bad deal still.

No the bolts are a separated from the brackets. They only go one way because there are teeth on back side of the bracket that keeps the brackets from moving freely once attach to the light bar!

I've never had a problem with my flash before they enlarged the cutout. If they have made the cutout larger, it must have corrected some issue someone thought they were experiencing. I guess that means 'yes'. :-)

As the picture shows there are NO flashes included. Furthermore; everything was decent except for the brackets. There is not enough friction on the umbrella shaft and the flash will slide. I bought another bracket from Cowboy Studio and it seems solid.

The metal bracket has to come off. The new bulbs fit flush into the light fixture.

Take a look behind the cutouts, there might be existing holes predrilled to except the single bolt that holds the lights. As for the brackets, the lights doesn't come with them. They just come with the single bolt that mounts to the frame up behind the cut outs. Hope this helps

The light part has groves that you push the guard into. Then turn to stay in place. Can't have the bare light without the guard because that's what holds the glass in place. Not cheaply made, I had the same concern, but I like it and haven't had a problem with it.

The pin sticks into a hole on your bracket, keeping the speedlight from twisting, i.e. the main screw plus the pin lock it in place while just the screw would allow the bracket to rotate around that screw. I had a non-Stroboframe bracket, so I used a pair of large pliers to remove the pin. The speedlight doesn't rotate without it so long as it's screwed in tightly.
