Angler FastBox Pistol Grip Overview

The FastBox Pistol Grip from Angler is an ideal accessory when you need to put aside the FastBox softbox and use a more specular light beam to produce dramatic and more pronounced shadows. The pistol grip is designed with a locking 5/8" receiver to mount your flash on a light stand for stand-alone use. A trigger grip on the handle offers effortless tilt adjustment and ensures the flash is precisely aimed exactly where desired. It's also great for handheld flash operation, making it easy to get into nooks, crannies, and angles that are impossible with a light stand.

This versatile pistol grip is not just for flashes. The 1/4"-20 mounting screw allows you to mount it on any 1/4"-20 accessory including a light or camera. A cold-shoe mount on the side provides the option to add even more accessories to a setup, like a radio slave. And to soften the flash's beam, there's an umbrella mount that can be used use with a shoot-through or reflective umbrella. When the pistol grip is combined with a FastBox flash adapter, it becomes possible to add any of Angler's entire collection of light shapers, gels, and diffusers in the FB-CDGK color correction kit.

The Angler FastBox Pistol Grip has cold shoe mounts on the sides but if you want a cold shoe mount on the top you will need to add the Niceyrig 3-Sided Cold Shoe Mount Adapter. https://bhpho.to/30XaDr3

How does the hole secure an umbrella from slipping out? I don't think there is any way to tighten it.
Asked by: Daemin
The umbrella receiver on the Angler FastBox Pistol Grip is slightly tighter in the center of the unit. This diameter difference holds the umbrella in place, it is not adjustable.
