The Strobies XS is unique way to hold your flash gun and use it with a softbox, a large
beauty dish or with almost any any other "S" type fitting accessories available. However a
7" reflector (as shown bottom image) is included with every XS bracket allowing you to
add further accessories etc.
One of the major benefits of the XS Bracket is its ability to rotate it's hotshoe mount to
enable your iTTL or eTTL port to be visible to your Infrared triggering system such as an
SU800,STE-2 or control / trigger flashgun.
In addition to the rotating hotshoe we have built in a second hotshoe to hold a radio
receiver or a second flash gun should you desire to use the Strobies XS to hold an
Umbrella in the light stand fitting provided.
Using 2 flashguns will effectively double your output, a major benefit of this is reducing
your recycling time and preserving your batteries to enable longer usage times.
A wide range of accessories are available to fit the Strobies XS brackets "S" type
bayonet fitting, including the following items:
Beauty Dishes ( RF5000)
Softboxes (Any Pro range or Stellar Softbox up to 1 mtr)
Snoots (RF5006 or INT209)
Honeycombs AH6020,AH6030,AH6060 these fit directly into the included 7" reflector.
You can also add the Stellar range of Barndoor's (RB4001) and the Colour gel set
(AC8011) allowing you to add spot colour to your backgrounds.
Interfit Umbrellas can also be fitted to the XS bracket via the light stand mounting
bracket. When used with the standard reflector the light will fill the umbrella in a similar
way as using a standard flash head .

The new ôSö Type bracket kits allows you to connect your Hotshoe flashgun to almost
any ôSö type fitting light shaping tools such as softboxes, beauty dishes, snoots, barndoor
sets and spill kill reflectors etc. One of the main benefits of the STROBIES XS is its
rotating hotshoe mount, which allows your iTTL or eTTL port to be seen on the same
side as your camera and flash triggering system (Nikon SU800 / Canon ST-E2). This
allows for a greater range of the infrared triggering system with the above units or main
flashgun as it no longer has to rely on walls or other objects to bounce the infrared signal
back to the unit.
The STROBIES XS bracket also features an additional hotshoe for mounting a radio
receiver for full manual control of your lighting system or a second flash unit should you
use the bracket as an umbrella holder via the light stand mount which also has the facility
to tilt backwards and forwards for perfect positioning.
