In the picture there are 3 softboxes on stands. The stand with the softbox being used as an overhead light is on an extended pole. Is that included?

Yes, it is included along with the counter weight bag. This is meant for backlight. Don't expect to be able to adjust the angle on the fixture at the end of the arm and have it stay, though. The fittings are cheap plastic and all of them will fail unless you plan to set these up once in a studio and leave them un touched.

It is located on the back if to pole that holds the light assy. It's a small twisty nob.

Not really. The 2 side stands have dual switches. With four lights in each box, they are split to two per switch. The over head on the crane is just one switch

The hard thing would be supporting this panel centered in the softbox. An alternate possibility (to diffuse the light) would be to just hang a large scrim in front of it.

Yes, the stand mount will tilt up and down.In noting Des N's answer, He is correct, the softbox does not come with an actual light mount. Be aware of that, but I rigged up a florescent socket mount in mine and it tilts up and down on the sofbox mount.

4 sockets in each softbox. If u use 50watt bulbs you'll get 200watts out of each one tungsten. If you use daylight fluorescent, you might get 300 watts out of each softbox. The overhead softbox only has one socket, so do the math. This entire system is a piece of crap, and I used it 4 or 5 times before realizing I can just buy better quality gear from a motion picture grip supply place for about twice the price. You get what you pay for.

The soft boxes are reasonably well made, but I consider the 8 cfl lights to be the most delicate items, and storing them properly (the original boxes they come in) is a delicate process that is not worth the risk of damage. They are fairly small soft boxes and when removed from the stands they might be compact enough for storage. Personally, I just leave them up and clustered together in my attic. I find that convenience is a real plus for me. Hope this helps

There is only one light and no stand. If... this is the same light I bought. The picture is a bit different from the bi-color 500 light I have.

They supply the pole for the convenience of a way to extend the fixture out past the soffit. The pole supplied can also be used to clamp on to a ground pole instead of a building side. It is just an option they throw in the deal. How it is fastened to a particular structure is up to the installer. This is kind of cool as most places just give you the fixture and charge extra for the pole. I mounted mine directly to my pole barn so,,I have two extras!!

To be honest, I did not look up what I have .. But.. With ARMD I must have light for close up work. Since the top of the stand is flexible, and that makes it perfect. When not doing close up work, it sits next to my LayZBoy, with the bulb twisted away, for indirect light. I only have to move it 3', for each function.One con, it's top heavy, so u have have it constantly aligned to the base; which needs to be tightened once in a while.I'm very satisfied. Bulb size is important.

It depends, I would choose the softboxes for most of the situations, because you can set them up when lighting bigger spaces/subjects with a more diffuse light.

Yes, softbox reflector is open but those comes in w/light white diffuser over the softbox reflector.So you could use diffuser to place softbox over the light to soften light.Regards,juliusworldmart2

This is a soft box only, not a light. It's designed to work with lights similar to the NEEWER 180.

The price is the soft box and speedring only. You have to purchase a light stand separately. Note that the speedring has an opening of 3.25"' which is made to fit Alien Bee strobe lights, and will not fit strobe lights larger that 3.25"

Yes the light stands were included with my order. I thought this was a good value.

I used Alien Bees bracket but if you use a different type of bracket then you can use this with speed lights. I have a number of soft boxes that I use that way.

No. It's not. You have to buy softbox with universal ring in order to fit the light.
