I purchased a 60" umbrella - will this mount bracket hold this size umbrella with flash?

I think it will. It is very heavy duty metal unlike others that are plastic. If I were using an HD umbrella and HD light stand this is the one I would. Want.

They work fine with my 40" umbrella and flash so I don't see why not...a small part from the bottom that you use to hold the scew in fell out on one of mine though but the other has held up just fine and I've used them for a good bit so I say it's work the $

Yes it will. I have a 7" umbrella and I mount a speed light on it with trigger

Yes it will. I use it with a my Neewer VK750 flash and a 60 inch brolly box and it is steady as a rock.

Hi. I don't have a GustBuster 58" umbrella, so I don't know how the holder will stand up holding that kind of umbrella.

I positioned my two umbrella mounts on the outside of my railings to give more space within the patio area. It depends on the pole width of your umbrellas and width of your railing so your distance may differ from mine a bit. The mount is adjustable. With my umbrellas mounted the distance from my railing is 5.5"

A 36" umbrella is a pretty good size umbrella. I went for the 60" because the bigger the light source the wider the light spreads and the more control I have on my subject. I also have a back light and a 1300 led bulb light. It all depends what you want to do. I pretty much know you have understanding about basic lighting if not YouTube and Adorama.com have a lot of video tutorials in photo and light.

I have used it with the Canon 600EX RT. NOTE: to get a secure mount, you have to over ride the rubber piece on the flash base. Push the unit up to the center of the holder and then use a dime to turn the screw tight. If you don't center your speed-light, yes, it will fall out. It took me awhile to figure it out. Same thing with another bracket I have. I prefer this one with the slotted screw so I can be sure to snug it down.

I've used my 580 EX II on similar size umbrellas set on the widest zoom setting with excellent results. I have not tried it with these because the center opening of the light bank impedes the output of flash head.

As long as the shaft of the umbrella is the right diameter it should work. I had to loosen the nut up a ways and then work the shaft into the bracket. It took a minute but wasn't too difficult.

Yes, the mount has two screws which screw into the umbrella post. It's quite stable and sturdy to prevent umbrella from spinning or tipping over.

Kinda big and bulky but works pretty well. I like the following one better Fotodiox Elite Flash Umbrella Bracket with Swivel/Tilt Head, Mountable to Light stand and Tripod, for Canon Flash Speedlite 600EX-RT, 580EX, 580EX II, 430EX, 430EX II, 380EX, 270EX, 270EX ii, 540EX, 550EX, 300TL

I use a type B flash shoe holder on the CowboyStudio stands. Here is a link: Flash Bracket Swivel Bracket Umbrella Holder Studio Tilting Bracket for Nikon Canon E430 E580 SB600 SB800 SB900 By Fancierstudio Bracket B

Yes, the attachment for the umbrella is at the base where the stand bracket attaches to the strobe. You may lose some light do not having a the reflector.

As far as I've ever seen, most light stands do not supply a hole for umbrellas or other rod attachments. I've owned multiple Manfrotto, Norman, Bowens and off-brand stands(including these) and none have ever had an umbrella hole. There it a small adapter that you can purchase that goes on top of a light stand that has a hole and threaded screw for mounting an umbrella. I would recommend you buy a couple of them for umbrella mounting. They are interchangeable on any light stand.

Yes; very easy and inexpensive. Buy this: "Flash Mounting Bracket Flash Swivel Umbrella Mount Flash Bracket", (I got mine from Amazon). It has multiple uses: flash to monopod; adding an umbrella if needed; swivels; well built; etc....Now it cost about $11.00.

Yes it will. I found using the Phottix Multi-Boom Mini 16″ helped in keeping a flash on the centreline, mounting multiple flashes - and with tilting the softbox. This is a great softbox, and easy to use, but using the zippers provided does not always give enough range of motion to angle the box. The Phottix boom arm puts the umbrella mounting hardware outside the softbox allowing you full range of motion, and the ability to reposition your flash(es) to be closer to the centreline of the box.

You need a light stand socket attachment such as LimoStudio 2 x New Studio AC Socket Light Stand Mount Umbrella Holder, AGG428These have a mount that attaches to the nub on the top of the light stand. Quality and price vary so be sure to research.

The height of the bracket is adjustable. I use a Canon 580EXII mounted on a PocketWizard FlexTT5 and it fits fine.

I'm not sure exactly what you're asking, but you typically would need an adapter to attach anything. I use these with flashes and attach using something called an umbrella swivel that has a cold shoe mount and a place to hold an umbrella. Some lights attach by fitting over the end of the pole andd then tightening a screw to lock them in place, but those have been part of the lights that I have used.
