I bought this specific bracket because of the adapters that come with it. My radio slaves screw onto the tops of light-stands and tripods, so this was the main thought for purchasing this bracket. I can use my slaves with it.
The large arm used for tilting the bracket is very nice when you have to hold things and adjust your umbrella/flash.

Fine bracket for some I'm sure, but not an easy bracket to switch for quick tilt with umbrella. I have a few of these (from different brands) and I quick clicked on this to order another one right before a gig. I wish I spend more time looking closely to save myself from the return.

Comments about Medalight Universal Umbrella Bracket with Swivel Mount:
Bought this for holding umbrellas on Smith Victor monos that don't provide for umbrella shafts. They hold well and don't require re-adjustment.
Solid build and a great value for the price.

Comments about Medalight Universal Umbrella Bracket with Swivel Mount:
I use this for my off-camera flash, with or without an umbrella. I love the swivel and I love the fact that the metal connector is reversable. It will mount using the large or small so I can use it on a 'headless' tripod...and have the capability to easily swivel the flash.

Comments about Medalight Universal Umbrella Bracket with Swivel Mount:

Comments about Medalight Universal Umbrella Bracket with Swivel Mount:
This is my first umbrella bracket. No complaints. It's built solidly, the umbrella 'hole' is angled upwards so that the brollie doesn't slide forward. Can't go wrong with this one. Great purchase!
Only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because that's reserved for items that blow me away.
