[john_burke4]

<p>i have a 580 ex ii and i want to buy a softbox to use...and a pc link cable...and a light stand...but my biggest question is where do i found the mount to use the 580 on a softbox?</p>

<p>Just to help with visualizing one approach, <strong><a href="00REb8">here is a thread</a></strong> to which I added some images once upon a time. It involves a Nikon flash, but that has no bearing on what you want to know.</p>

<p>John, For a 580EXII sync cord give this one a try. It's a male connection on both ends. The camera connection could be either male or female; for instance a Canon 5DII and the 580EXII both require a male connection on the cord.</p>
