Will hold the 7ft Impact Umbrella and a monalight

By Thomas
Rated 5 out of 5
Date: 2026-03-30

It's all metal and has some weight. The most important part for me is that it will hold the 7ft Umbrella and a Elinchrom RX4 or RX1 at an angle without slowly tilting down. Prefect, especially given the price !

Strong, well-made. Love it

This a great adapter. It is very strong and well built. The build quality is top notch, and it is made of heavy-duty aluminum. The tilt adapter locking mechanism has teeth to prevent slipping which help to make it very secure when locked down. The baby pin also screws in and has a rectangle shaped bottom which eliminates any chance of it rotating, this adds to the stability which is great. I mounted my Lowel TOTA LED XL light with an umbrella and it held it with ease at multiple tilt angles. I also mounted one of my COB lights on this adapter too and it worked great. I use this set-up often because I love the brightness of a COB light but like to soften the look. Using an umbrella, and this adapter is very convenient and a very fast to set-up, providing me the soft light I desire. The tilt lock handle is well made, and I love that it ratchets. This makes it easy to tighten down the tilt even in awkward places or positions. Another nice feature is the ability to mount it vertically or horizontally. This adds to its versatility. And I love having versatility/options with my gear. This is a great adapter. It is well-made and very functional. [I have received this product in exchange for my honest review]
