Hi all,

I am looking for a small softbox that can be mounted on the
RRS WPF-1 Flash Bracket with a 580EX II Flashgun.

I've searched the web a bit but only found the Photoflex
LiteDome Xs Kit which "looks" like it could fit:

Maybe one of you guys already figured this out?

    I'm using a Lambency Dome for now .. it's probably not as
    soft as a bigger softbox but then on the other hand it's also
    not as heavy and performs better in tight quarters where
    the light can bouce of walls too.

    I have that XS softbox and made my own bracket to connect the flash and softbox. It will do the job you're looking for, but won't be as convenient as the Lightsphere/Lambency Dome. I actually have the Lambency on order so I'll be able to compare the two soon.

    Ah nice. I'd be interested too in how they compare. The dome also works
    quite nicely for macros.
