Softbox for speedlite and profoto strobe??? - haring - 04-06-2011

Hi!



I would like to get a medium size portable softbox which I can use with my Canon flash and profoto strobe.



I have looked around. I like Photoflex Litedome and Wescott Apollo 28 a lot but the problem is that they only work with camera flashes but not with powerful strobes. At least that's what BH says on its website: "for camera flash only".



Do you know any softbox/octabox on which I can set up my camera flash and a profoto speed ring as well?



Thanks!

I guess you'd need a studio grade softbox and then an adapter for your speedlite, plenty of those on ebay (I got mine for a Bowens s-type mount) ..or else you can get the ezybox from Lastolite but then I'm not sure whether it can work with a studio flash, due to the heat generated..
