Comments about Westcott Adjustable Shoe Mount Umbrella Bracket:
I like this a lot. Very easy to use and very stable. The recessed middle also makes it nice for mounting triggers so that the contact points remain uncontacted on the bottom to prevent shorting or the need to place electrical tape on the mount.

It worked great when I was using my speedlight with a shoot-through umbrella. It was easy to set-up, break-down and adjust. My speedlight was secure and stable.

Comments about Westcott Adjustable Shoe Mount Umbrella Bracket:
I have three of these now, mainly because its small and very well made. Tried all sorts of cheap flea-bay mounts but they all ended up in the trash. This one is a keeper and its small and lightweight too, so it goes in the bag perfectly

[...] Happened to be in B&H and found this, does what I need it to. I like the solid feel of it, and the solid lock of the tilt.

Works great! The least exspensive all metal mount I could find. I use it with Nikon SB600's, and it works as it should.

Good design & sturdy build. Used on top of 8' light stand. I also used a piece of electrical tape to protect the contacts of the Speedlite.

I used these to convert my RPS Studio light set to flash stands for my sb-800 Nikon flashes. They work GREAT. I only took off one star because they seem to short the pins on the nikon sb-800 if I wiggle the flash around - making the flash go off. (For the record, I couldnt get the flashes to fire when they were in remote mode). I solved this with a little piece of electrical tape - you cant see it and helps tighten the mount a bit too.
The mount is made of metal and is strong and has hefty feel. It has teeth to set the angle and the knob is spring loaded, which is a nice touch. Its overall very well made, especially for the price. The base looks like it would fit a 1/2" diameter rod and fit my stands perfectly.
