question
Regarding Phottix Varos Pro BG Flash Bracket: Can the flash be mounted horizontally through the hole on the sides rather than top mount? If yes, is it possible with provided adaptors, or do I need something additional?
Yes, the supplied spigot can be mounted vertically (as pictured) or horizontal in the holes on the side. You dont need anything extra to do this. Hope that helps.
