I noticed the statement that “ … I've opted for the Canon Speedlite 550EX with the Speedlite Transmitter ST-E2. The flash and transmitter communicate easily, even though the Speedlite is inside of the softbox.”


1) How is the 550EX attached inside the softbox (or the softbox attached to the flash, whichever)?


2) I’m very pleasantly surprised to find that the communication between the camera and the slave flash works inside the softbox.


I wanted to check and make sure that I haven’t missed something – are you using the built-in IR (as I recall) control system? If so, have you found the communication between the camera and flash to be reliable?


thanks!
