Hello. Just received this and I'm not able to mount the a Yongnuo 560 IV flash or slide the box bracket into the shoe. Help!

I am using the YN560-II speedlite in slave mode. If you send your email address I will send a picture of my speedlite mounted with the DMKFoto softbox.

I wish I could remember how I did it but I do know I had to go online and look at the photos of it to figure it out. It was tricky.

The ones that look like they snap on, don't fit. I have tried then all and I have never had one fit, even though my model flash was listed. Like the other reviewer I returned the ones that I hadn't used a heat gun to try and make them fit, Never could get them to work, Finally, I tried the one with the velcro strap and it holds it securely and the strap is not noticeable if you put it on right,

It's difficult to attach to the flash unit. The Velcro straps are not placed well and are too short. I've used it with a Yongnuo YN568 EX II and Canon 600 EX-RT and I had to use my own straps to secure the softbox to the flash unit. I'd recommend spending a little more for a better softbox.

I bought another brand (azden?) to use as an external mic and the shoe did not fit. Instead of clicking it on, we just had to have people hold the receiver. I assume the shoe on this camera only fits the Canon brand ones. Hope that helps!

You'd have to get an adapter. For some reason, Sony is the only camera manufacturer in the world that decided to create a different hot shoe mount. Very annoying for Sony users. They basically made it where you have to use a Sony flash... unless you're using it off camera, in which case you can use any flash.

Just compared specs to the Nikon SB910/900 series flash. I own both Nikons. Specs show the Yongnuo 560iii being slightly smaller. So it should fit no problem.

you can bye brackets at amazon that conect to the bottom of your camera. with a extra hot shoe. you can also bye extra brackets for your flash unit.

These mounts are for hot shoe mount flashes. It does not fit any of my studio strobes.

I would say yes you do, unless your flash has its own built-in threaded socket. Even if your flash has a threaded socket, the flash would then be stuck in one position, so having an adjustable mounting bracket should be more useful. I got some nice ball-and-socket brackets on-line, not at Amazon, for less than $7 each.

You need a Hot Shoe mount adapter. I ordered these. They are well built, mostly metal with plastic handle, and work great! 2 of CowboystudioUmbrella Mount Bracket with Swivel/Tilt Bracket - They will you the 1/4 mount needed to mount LED lights. That is what i use them for. Hope this helps! There are other cheaper versions, but i ordered these because they were metal.

Sorry, but I have the Yongnuo YN560-III which work off of the actual flash and not a radio signal. These only work of off the flash itself and must be somewhat in line of site with the master. These serve my purpose just fine.

Hi Kayla,I try to share my experience if it can help you. I bought this adapter few months back so I can use my Spny alpha lenses on my Nikon F mount. It seems you Need to open up on the adapter to allow more light into the sensor. Notice the 7 white dots on the adapter? Try to turn to the darkest dot. However it seems to allow some light leak into the picture and it is not easy to turn it to the dot and stay there. Seems the barrel moves back to white dot so I use slow tap to keep it in place. Rather sloppy.What do you mean by horrible? Do you mean the image looks darker? I hope it helps. Hi Kayla,I try to share my experience if it can help you.

Hi PoobooI have a Canon T3i. I bought a Yongnuo 568EXII flash. This is how you trigger your flash. Buy a Yongnuo YN622C-TX (wireless flash controller) and attach it to the camera's hot shoe. Also, buy a Yongnuo YN622C E-TTL (wireless flash trigger / transceiver) and attach it to your Yongnuo YN568EXII flash. They receiver and the radio controller communicate excellent! You can change setting on the flash directly from the radio controller that sits on the camera's hot shoe. You can research this on Youtube videos. I am very satisfied with my Yungnuo flash, radio controller, and wireless flash trigger / transceiver. Good luck! Your speed-lite photography will be outstanding with the flash off the camera!

Not sure why you would want to add a Frio to this kit. If you're using a "standard" speedlight with this, the included bracket should hold your flash securely (I've never had one fall off). If you're concerned about light spilling around the junction of the softbox and flash head, use some gaffers tape to cover the gaps. Is this what you're asking?

This is not for speedlite, you have to have a strobe light with round head that fits. It is heavy to put on hotshoe! I am using it with Neewer 180 studio flash light.

It's probably stuck, wedge a paper clip or small flat head screw driver in flash slot and wiggle it out gently. If this doesn't work send it back to Nikon, that part is under warranty.

Does it have a foot to connect an external flash? If so then it should work. It just goes in front of the flash and slides into the foot area.
