question
Will this accept Sony flashes? I bought a universal flash bracket and my sony flash shoe (Godox tt685s) doesn't fit nicely in the flash bracket.
I think it would fit but not 100% certain because I have never seen a TT685s up close...I found some images of TT685s foot on google...its a little hard to tell just by looking at a picture.The only thing i can say is that generally speaking this holder will hold onto pretty much any flash ...because it has a clamp at the top...with a screw on the side. Regardless of flash brand it should hold on to the foot of the flash.

question
Only nit is the umbrella clamp is not shaped to firmly hold the smallest shaft umbrellas So does this mean it won't hold umbrellas with the small shaft or that it holds them in a sloppy manner??
Traditional fix for problems like this is to wrap a section of the shaft with electrical tape, or 2 gaff torn into 1 strips
