strong hold, flash does not move or feel loose.

Needs some work

I bought this to use with Godox AD200 flashes as, given the unique design of the AD200, I thought these would work better than other mounts. These could be a good mounting solution for the AD200, as well as other regular flash guns, but they need some improvements. First, the rubber pad on the plate should be a non-slip/skid pad. Something that has some tackiness to it to hold the flash firm. Currently, the pad is too smooth and allows the flash to turn even when tightly strapped in. The strap itself is another issue as even on a chunky flash such as the AD200 I have to pull the strap where it's nearly overlapping itself to secure the flash in place. The stretchiness of the strap is the issue here and replacing it with a sort of tie strap would allow it to fit nearly any flash while providing a more secure hold on the flash. This has potential to be the mount to use for flashes like the AD200 but currently with it's many issues I wouldn't recommend using this mount.

question

can you stack two flashes on top of each other like with the parabolix horizontal speedlight adapter?
Asked by: Michael P.
Yes but the included strap wouldn't work. You'd have to make your own velcro strap or use velcro or rubber bands to secue the otherflash.

question

i saw pictures online that the flash is mounted flat on the mount. Can the flash be mounted on the side? in order words the narrow part of the flash against the flat surface of the mount.
Asked by: Alberto
Yes. You can rotate the flash around in the holder. This will allow using the flash head pivot to point the light UP, Down, or left or right sides.

question

Can this be mounted to the Phottix mini boom 16 by replacing the cold shoes with this mount? In other words, can you mount these directly to a 1/4 thread w/o using the stud?
Asked by: Andy
Yes, the stud screws on with typical 1/4 20 thread that most stands and tripods use.
