Do you know what the phottix is compatible with elinchrom 500 strobe?

At 2:15, how are you mounting the flash. I am worried that a mini flash-head-mounted softbox would bend the receivers hot shoe.

The LumoPro 180 has a thread on the side of the flash head itself. There's just a stud on it and then secured into the umbrella holder. The receiver seems robust as it is metal. I can't see it being any different than mounting the flash into a standard cold shoe on an umbrella bracket.
