The best way to mount a speedlight in our umbrella-based modifiers is by utilizing our adjustable shoe mount/swivel bracket. This bracket is rugged, versatile, and will allow you to tilt the modifiers.

What methods do you recommend for remote firing my off-camera speedlites when using Westcott Apollo or Halo softboxes? Can I use my speedlite's built-in IR (infrared) trigger?
