This is an Interfit SGM500 Flex Mount for the Vivitar 285HV on-camera flash. It is an integral part of the Strobies series of flash light shapers.
There are several light shapers that work with the Flex Mount. A Snoot, Barndoor Set, Softbox, Honeycomb Grids, and Bounce Cards are available separately.

- Color gels may be fitted inside the Flex Mount
- For best results and to avoid damage, attach any shapers before mounting the Flex Mount onto your flash

Comments about Interfit SGM500 Flex Mount for the Vivitar 285HV:
Attached pretty well to the Vivitar 285, but it is just a friction fit. As long as it is mounted on a light stand it work OK but it can work its way off if you are moving the flash a lot.

Comments about Interfit SGM500 Flex Mount for the Vivitar 285HV:
I purchased two of these. This is required for Interfit softboxes, octobox, snoot, etc. It didn't come with any instructions. Works great. Fits on the flash head snug and I haven't had any problems with it yet.

Comments about Interfit SGM500 Flex Mount for the Vivitar 285HV:
I use it with the globe diffuser attachment which works well. Does have a tendency to come loose if not careful. A little gaffer tape will make sure it doesn't go anywhere.

Comments about Interfit SGM500 Flex Mount for the Vivitar 285HV:
Honestly, I thought it was very easy to get on. It's snug, but you want it to be. It's also easy to take off. I havent had any issues with it at all. All the attachments I've ordered fit on perfectly.

Comments about Interfit SGM500 Flex Mount for the Vivitar 285HV:
I bought this adaptor in conjunction with other Strobist accessories, and a pair of Vivitar 285HV Flash Heads. The adaptor is a little tough to get onto the Vivitar head, and once it's on, it's not a tight fit and falls off fairly easily! Not a big problem for locked-down studio work, but annoying that a small movement or adjustment can often cause the adaptor to fall off, bringing the Snoot or Barn Door assembly with it.
