Where is the opening to fit an umbrella on this unit? I have the other 400 and it works great but I am somewhat skepticacl about purchasing this one.

The flash is user replaceable. The bulbe can be replaced, both of them - the modeling light and the flash portion!

The opening is located under the unit just above the stand mount. I have two of these and I have not had any problems with them. I often use one light for studio work. I use a white umbrella and I shoot through it with the light above my head. Excellent! - - Hope this helps!

Usually I use this flash with a softbox that fits perfectly, I have never used it with a umbrella. The results are very good

There is a slot on the unit; however, because the strobe does NOT have a user replaceable flash, and I was told, they could not get the right flash replacement, I would not buy this unit again. Take a look at Fotodiox strobes.

There is a small square cutout at the bottom of the flash to insert an umbrella shaft. there is a small hand screw to tighten the shaft secure. It works just fine. I only used an umbrella once (I normally use a soft box). I hope this helps.

There is a hole in the middle to put the rod through. Then like a fitted sheet it goes around the open side of the umbrella

Yes you can but you need to make sure that you get the right umbrella and measure the umbrella slot so it fit secure.

There is a string to pull on to open the umbrella. It stays open by inserting the pin. Take the pin out to close. Mine has no button.

Mine is up on the tree, and those dimensions do not make sense. the picture of the umbrella look identical to what I have.

Nonot includedI bought 2 ... I dont use them .. the umbrella allows a tiny bit of tilt but not near enough. its almost like you need an elbow action bracket below the umbrella & I looked at DIY options but none were practical. good luck

We have a standard umbrella and it fits in the table. The hole is just slightly larger.

The construction of the umbrella is sturdy and there is a wind vent built in. It is not likely to turn inside out but a firm grip on the handle would be advised. This is where I have issues with the handle shape, which I find somewhat awkward.

I purchased this and it's very. Small. There's really no way to adjust it without lowering the umbrella then because of the width of the opening it falls off the umbrella. Don't bother

You might have a lot of excess fabric on the ground, but the hole at the top closes with a drawstring, so it should fit over the umbrella fine.

Technically, no you dont since the bar has both upper and lower guide holes. However you wont be able to open or close it without having to lift and hold up the umbrella every time. So without a stand or something else to raise it up you wont be able to operate the crank handle.

I don't think there is a way to attach an umbrella. It isn't meant for one.

It doesn't come with one. There is a model that has one, but it's more expensive. They make the instructions the same for both models so tht is why you see the umbrella in there.

My umbrella also has an attached pole, but that pole slips into a slightly wider but shorter pole that is attached to a cross bar base. I slipped the water weight base over the cross bar base section and then lifted the umbrella & poke into position. If your umbrella has a similar construction, it should be fine.

It opens just like a regular umbrella. Find the button/ring, push on it & pull upwards to open it. Voila!

There is a slot in the umbrella where you put a light stand through, and I believe it has a zipper on each side, but I don't have it in front of me. That slot isn't needed if aimed way down, and becomes a hindrance to aim way up.

I bought a cover for the umbrella, so when the umbrella is retracted the cover slides over the top and all the way down the umbrella. :)
