I use these clamps to hold my Nikon SB-600, SB-800 and SB-900 speedlights with and without umbrellas. I use them on heavy duty and lightweight light-stands with and without booms. This is the second one I purchased - I purchased the 1st one about a year ago and have used it extensively. They are sturdy, reliable and versatile. Some have expressed concern that the hot-shoe adapter itself is made from metal and worry about the possibility of shorting out a flash. I can tell you that there is not a concern with the Nikon SB-600, SB-800 and SB-900 as there is plenty of distance between the flash contacts and the bracket when the flash is mounted. Excellent product in my opinion - 5 stars all the way.

Cheap but it Works!

This is priced cheap and it is cheap. I don't see it lasting. The hot shoe does not hold my 580EX II stable. You have to crank up the screw and a little movement loosens the crank. I bought one to try it out, now I know. I never used it! I did'nt say Photoflex is bad, just these type of umbrella swivels are. Photoflex makes other great products. For $16 more though, the Manfrotto 026 Swivel Umbrella Adapter is worth every penny! I bought one to test it out as soon as I laid my hands on the first one I didn't even try it, I bought 3 more. And for $34 more the top of the line is Chimera Double Axis Stand Adapter. Give these guys a look! You do get what you pay for...

Comments about Photoflex Multiclamp with Shoe Mount:
This multiclamp works well for the $$. There are lots of configurations you can setup. Not sure about long term capabilities and there's a fair amount of slop in the female receptacles of the clamp. However, it's working for me. I actually took the coldshoe and installed it on my Lastolite M2 bracket for a much better speedlight holder.

Comments about Photoflex Multiclamp with Shoe Mount:
This is a great little clamp. Sturdy, good locks (including the tilt lock, which I find to be secure when locked tightly), and really a must have for "home studio" setups.
I use this with my speedlights on radio triggers. Allows me to get just the right angle, as well as mounting an umbrella.
I don't love the shoe that comes with it, and I find the comments by other reviewers about the possibility of shorting out the contacts on your flash because it's made of metal to be of concern. Because I screw my radio receivers directly into the stud, I have no use for the shoe anyway. If you need the shoe I believe that Photoflex makes a plastic cold shoe that you can buy (if you want to spend more money, that is).
Since I don't use the shoe, I personally do not have any complaints about this product.

Comments about Photoflex Multiclamp with Shoe Mount:
I am a professional photographer and use a lot of multiclamps on my studio and outside. The durability of this product is awesome, my first one has 7 years. The bad thing is the screw of the shoe mount, it easily come out of its place and could be a double screw.

Comments about Photoflex Multiclamp with Shoe Mount:
Well.. it does what it's supposed to do. The reason I give it 4/5 stars is because of the build quality. Most of the clamp is made of plastic and the big lever to adjust the tilt sticks quite a bit. It works well, I just wish I spent a little more.

Comments about Photoflex Multiclamp with Shoe Mount:
As I've never owned or directly operated a multiclamp before I don't have much to reference.
The quality appears sturdy and solid and presumably will last for some time. The item does a good job at holding steady small or medium sized umbrellas with zero to minimal effort. If ever questioning the muliclamp's ability to successfully 'clamp' an umbrella, simply tighten the screw holding the umbrella in place to secure the umbrella further.
On larger and more weighty umbrellas, this clamp performs poorly and is not recommended for securing objects of such size. Otherwise, 5 out of 5 stars.

Comments about Photoflex Multiclamp with Shoe Mount:

Comments about Photoflex Multiclamp with Shoe Mount:
The Multiclamp with Shoe Mount is very strong and well-built. It is good enough to hold small softbox or umbrella + a Canon 580 II flash. However, it seems little heavier. The copper rod held by the clamp is not strait on both ends, but I am probably too picky.
