Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Photoflex Light and Umbrella Shoe Mount Clamp
Customer Review: Attach a boom mic to a light stand
Summary: 4 Stars
I shoot low budget documentary video and my crew usually consists of me and one other so I need to travel lightly and all of my equipment must be able to multi-task. I wanted to be able to utilize any one of my heavy-duty Amvona boom light stands as a boom mic stand with as little jerry-rigging as possible.
The inexpensive Photoflex Shoe Mount Multiclamp has been great so far. I use it to attach a Rode NT-3 hypercardioid mic in a Rode SM-3 shockmount to my boom light stands. The SM-3 has a shoe-mount so I can use it as a camera mic or use the multiclamp to attach it to an available light stand boom to get the mic closer to a stationary subject. So far it has worked just fine.
I do agree that the mount itself is a little underpowered and I always use a little gaffers tape on the light stand for added grip before I cinch down the multiclamp. And since I have no desire to see my beautiful Rode mic hit a cement floor, I always wrap some tape around the base of the clamp to secure it to the stand as well. I don't think it would let loose, but better safe...
That said, this a great product for the money, and it's one of the only clamps like this out there, but I'd gladly pay ten or even twenty dollars more for one that locked to the stand more securely. Even at twenty dollars more it would be hundreds of dollars less expensive than an additional shockmount and mic boom stand.

Description of Photoflex Light and Umbrella Shoe Mount Clamp
The Versatiel Shoe Mount Multiclamp allows you to attach your on-camera flash to a lightstand and add an umbrella or softbox. The Multiclamp makes it possible to raise and tilt your light - something that is not possible when your flash is mounted directly to a lightstand. Your flash can also be mounted horizontally or vertically and, by using three clamps, two flashes can be mounted together for more lighting power. Moving your flash away from your camera and adding an umbrella or softbox will give you even, diffused light that is flattering to your subjects.Flash Accessories
