Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Photoflex Light and Umbrella Shoe Mount Clamp
Customer Review: Item is cheap and useless.
Summary: 1 Stars
Bought from Adorama Camera. It broke at first use even it was handled with care.
It is useless because it can not hold an umbrella or a reflector.
Even it is sold for that purpose, No way, It is not built for that.
The flash shoe is made by metal and can damage seriously your flash.
Shame on Adorama to sell such week and cheep item with a high price.
Overall it is just loss of money. DONT'T BUY IT. DON'T EVEN BOTHER.
Customer Review: Cheap and plastic. Mine Broke.
Summary: 2 Stars
This umbrella bracket has an issue with where the umbrella hole is drilled: the hole is so close to the hinge joint that there is practically no material connecting the joint to the top piece. My light stand fell over once and the bracket snapped in two. Even some of the cheaper brackets with different designs may be more sturdy than this one.
This works, but if you want something that will last go for an aluminum bracket.
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: Good quality but needs design considerations
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a good product and great value for the money however the manufacturer needs to re-tool the design so that the umbrella mount is angled. As it is now the umbrella points straight forward so the speedlight is pointing off center when aimed at the umbrella. Please look into this, it would be a simple solution to remedy at the time of production by angeling the mount hole downward a few degrees.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.
