Well, I'm referring to something like an SB700.

Well, every time one wants to change the power level, the flash will need to be accessed, unless the flash power is being controlled wirelessly. Every time the flash needs to be tilted, you're going to HAVE TO get right to the umbrella bracket's tightening mechanism. For people who have to shoot/chimp/adjust/shoot/chimp/adjust to get their flash exposures right, this thing is gonna be a regal PITA.

Also, the line of sight between multiple units on slaves or wireless might very well be impaired by nifty black fabric and metallized reflective interior panels, with the flash's remote receiver "eye" enclosed in black fabric,lined with metallized silvered fabric...

Trust me...this thing has plenty of issues no matter what kind of flash is being used INSIDE of it. See, the issue is that the ENTIRE flash unit is enclosed within the confines of a big box. To get to it...one needs to reach in and work BLIND, or remove the front diffuser, adjust the flash power, then re-attach the front fabric...

Agreed! A silly solution to a bad design flaw!

Well, to be fair, its only a design flaw if you're using it on a strictly vertical stand. If it were on a boom it would be perfect.

It was DESIGNED to be used on a vertical stand... look at the majority of the Westcott advertising, you probably won't see a BOOM! Only stands! Why are you so insistent on defending this.. do you have one, or something?

No, and I haven't a clue. I am neither endorsed nor sponsored by Wescott... LOL

Just bored and talking out of my ass I guess.
