Manfrotto 175F - Garra Justin Spring com Sapata de Flash

Comments about Manfrotto 175F Justin Spring Clamp with Flash Shoe:

I have several of these, they're well made and perform as expected. It would be good if the lock nut for attaching the clamp to stands was captive though. Loosen it too far and it will spring free, potentially becoming lost. The NIkon SB-700 comfortably fits the shoe.

Comments about Manfrotto 175F Justin Spring Clamp with Flash Shoe:

I have two of these clamps.

Both have the same problems: the cold shoe is NOT secured to the burled metal adjustment rod, and will not stay on the clamp. The cold shoe has separated and dropped my flashes too many times to continue using them.

The other issue is the spring/knob assembly that secures the clamp to a light stand. It also constantly works itself loose, letting the spring get away and the pin is on the ground.

The idea of these clamps is great and useful. The execution and assembly of the clamps is very unsatisfactory and I would not recommend these to anyone.

I am starting to do more off-camera flash photography. This clamp is very simple but very useful.

Comments about Manfrotto 175F Justin Spring Clamp with Flash Shoe:

You'll see a lot of photographers use these... there's a reason, they're awesome! I use them primarily with speedlites with battery packs. The jaw holds the pack, the mount is adjustable for the speedlite, it's a great set up.

Comments about Manfrotto 175F Justin Spring Clamp with Flash Shoe:

Feels well built and gets the job done.

Would prefer if there was a lock for the shoe, but otherwise, no complaints.
Easy to adjust, holds sb800 & 900 with no problems.

In a tight location where you want two lights up & directed differently but dont really have the space for two stands, this is answer.

I use this to clamp an additional speed light onto light stands, or for putting lights in unusual places. Strong clamp works like a charm.

I use this product to mount off camera flashes duing sporting and portrait sessions.

This product makes it easier to setup and take down equipment when tripods and stands are not needed. The clamp is well built and easy to setup.

Comments about Manfrotto 175F Justin Spring Clamp with Flash Shoe:

Works well in most places. Extremely versatile. Quick and simple to use/set-up. Only drawback, the hotshoe insert does not lock. Might have to use gaffer tape, or other method of securing, depending on orientation (angle) of attached strobe.

Comments about Manfrotto 175F Justin Spring Clamp with Flash Shoe:

I avoided getting this clamp for quite some time and tried to use more cost effective solutions. It was a waste of time and money. Just order this clamp and be done with it! Worth the cost.

Comments about Manfrotto 175F Justin Spring Clamp with Flash Shoe:

This comes with a regular cold ISO hot shoe bracket. Evidently Manfrotto does not offer a Minolta/Sony shoe for this clamp. That's OK, we're used to doing DIY modifications because of this. I simply removed the ISO hot shoe from the mini ballhead, cut a 1/4 x 20 thread bolt to length, placed this new bolt back into the mini ball head and now I can add the Minolta/Sony flash stands without any difficulty. In my case I had an old Manfrotto quick release around, so for now I just put the quick release to the bolt.

A word of advanced notice, the spring on this clamp is strong and the width of the levers makes it necessary to use both hands to handle the clamp and flash safely. I would have given 5 stars if Manfrotto offered a Sony type shoe.

I bought this with the intention to use it as a DSLR mount. All you need is a couple of $5 parts and this holds a 7D and a prime lens with no safety concerns (the shoe part screws off to reveal a 1/4inch female thread attached to the ball head). I had a 7D rig 20 ft up on a stairwell (for video work), and it was solid, steady and safe. All the parts are metal — this is a really great piece of kit.

This is a great clamp. Multifunctional. Will attach to almost anything. Great for use in the field.

Comments about Manfrotto 175F Justin Spring Clamp with Flash Shoe:

Good product for in field and in a pinch environment where you need to mount a flash and can't use stands. Great clamping strength and versatile adjustment.

Comments about Manfrotto 175F Justin Spring Clamp with Flash Shoe:

The holding power is great. The knob to tighten and loosen is easy to use and works great for the small holder. The flexibility of the holder os great as well.
