Q: 10. Hello! I was wondering if anyone tried to use this softbox with a profoto b1 head pointed in the indirect way? Thanks! =)

A: I've been trying to make this work with the Profoto B1 and I would not recommend it. Not to say it's not possible, but the B1 is just to heavy on the back end. Plus, you have to remove the silver panel in the Profoto adapter for the B1 to slide in. But ... it won't fit all the way. The rods are configured to close to the dome. This prevents the B1 from sliding further in than half way. This makes the chance for it falling off even greater since the B1 is dragging down the adapter which has never been secure enough in my opinion even with a 7b that doesn't have that extra weight in the back end. If my other lights went down and I HAD to to use the B1 with this indirect Octa, or my 7' indirect Octa I would bungee the hell out of the B1 to the C-stand.
