I'm a newbie when it comes to umbrella holders, so it took a bit of hunting to figure out what was included in the kit before buying as the description Phottix offers is severely lacking unless you watch their video. A lot of thought was put in to this design and I was pleasantly pleased how well this holder works. For the nerds out there, this is cast from 383 aluminum alloy.

It says it supports 62lbs is this missing a decimal point? Serious question - it would be great if this did in fact support heavy lights.
Asked by: Adam
These are very heavy duty and can easily support the weight as long as the stand can. I have used them with studio monolights, LED panels, as well as the more typical use of speedlights.
