Westcott 4729 Reviews

Really great but could be a bit stronger

By Matt
Rated 4 out of 5
Date: 2026-03-04

Since lightstands are so hard to use outdoors, I bought this to attach to my large gitzo tripod so I could use a light outside without an assistant. The Westcott tripod plate worked great for a year but eventually snapped in half at the pin connection point. I used a fj400 and 36in octabox most of the time with it. I will continue to buy them since this product helps me so much, but i'll give it 5 stars if they "weld" the pin on a bit stronger.

Arca dovetail out of spec

It does what it’s supposed to, but the dovetail is too big so it doesn’t work well with lever-style arca clamps. Screw-style arca clamps work fine
