2 speedlights-one softbox

I have a ezybox II,mine takes one speedlight. Lastolite has a new softbox that take up to 4, it can be pre ordered
Neil do you know if I can use the profoto bracket with a lastolite softbox???
ty
which bracket Mike?? the bar that takes 4 speedlights or the triple???? I have the bar and the only issue with it is you need a larger umbrella so you don't get spill from the lights on the ends
I have a Phottix Odin so I can remotely adjust both speed lights whether in manual or the FEC of both if in TTL. I like to use off-camera fill flash outdoors but don't know if two speed light pre-flashes causes issues with the camera's ability to communicate the correct TTL exposure for both flashes. Any thoughts?
I’m not familiar the Phottix
Odin system but if the flashes are in TTL and on the same channel, you
can use as many flash as you like and they will be metered as one. When you
press the camera shutter the flashes fire a pre-flash that the camera measures along
with the ambient light, the camera calculates the correct output of the off camera
flashes. All of the camera flashes fire
with the correct intensity, in a single burst.
