building small home studio. I'm ready to pull the trigger.

Could something be used like this to make it so those fold-able softboxes you are seeing would fit?

I use one for an octobox that was originally for alien bees

Good to know.

I am getting ready to order some Adorama Flashpoint monolights and want to make sure I am not limited.

In a small room, like a 12x10 area, 500- or 600 Watt-second flash units are going to be grossly overpowerful. They will be a regal PITA is such a confined shooting area. Even my JTL 300 Watt-second monolight was far too powerful for easy use in a big 20x24 foot vaulted ceiling living room...I was always sliding the thing's power slider allllll the way to MIN. I would rather have five, Flashpoint 320M monolights, at 150 Watt-second each, than three Alien Bee whatevers, or two 600 W-s Einsteins.

Five-light and four-light setups in a smaller area are a lot more fun to shoot if your lights give you flexible, controllable, appropriate power distribution.

i'd be looking for "real" softboxes that can mount to a brolly mount that you can use with your speedlights on a light stand.

OR, pick up ONE of the SMALLEST alien bees, with softbox and a stand to use as a key light with your existing speedlights.
