Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Photoflex Light and Umbrella Shoe Mount Clamp
Customer Review: A HANDY MULTI-USE PIECE OF HARDWARE
Summary: 5 Stars
All of the Photoflex items are well-made and intelligently designed. This clamp is designed to mount a flash unit and an umbrella to a light stand. The brass adapters that come with this clamp can be used for a variety of purposes. Not only will this clamp fit any flash equipment stand, but it will also fit a microphone stand. I use it with the heavy-base type microphone stand. These have a 12" footprint. The boom on the stand lets me balance the array in the corner of a room with a softbox or umbrella mounted. A couple of these in a room with a transmitter on the camera lets me cover a social event from anywhere in the room. You need this gizmo!Customer Review: Just ordered my 2nd one
Summary: 5 Stars
I ordered this adapter (or one exactly the same) last year when I started to get more into flash work. When I got a 2nd umbrella I just picked up an adapter from a local camera shop. I didn't like the side screw cold shoes. My flash gets loose and it almost fell out once. I much prefer this cold shoe and the ability to lock it in place with the locking pin on the flash. It doesn't have the build quality of the other one I bought, but it's still sturdy enough (and lighter) with a better cold shoe. I also find it easier to adjust than my other one.Customer Review: Add this to your "Strobist" gear for off camera flash
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a great clamp for your off camera flash. It will hold an umbrella and can tilt forward and back, moving the umbrella and flash together. It comes with the connectors you'll need if you want to attach to a light stand or even an extra tripod you have sitting around. Versatile and reliable. The only suggestion I have is stick a piece of electrical (or other) tape on the bottom of the metal shoe (where you attach your flash) so the metal doesn't short the flash.
Happy shooting.
Customer Review: Use this to build your first studio lighting kit.
Summary: 5 Stars
You can use this clamp to attach your flash to your tripod, or light stand, and use an umbrella. You can angle the flash however you like. The brass fittings have 3/4 and 3/8 threaded nuts. Very easy to use. Add an umbrella reflector and light stand (or use a spare tripod) and get started with studio lighting. Excellent way to capitalize on versatile equipment, like flashes, you probably already have.Customer Review: Photoflex-Shoe Mount Multiclamp
Summary: 5 Stars
This is an excellent addition to your professional photography equipment to mount different types of lights to your existing light stands. We use them alot to mount our Nikon SB800 wireless flash units to our light stands to create a wireless setup for on-location shooting. The multiclamp has a place for an umbrella if you desire to use one.
