This Umbrella Mount Adapter from COLBOR is for use with their CL60, CL60M, CL60R, CL100X, and CL100XM lights, allowing you to mount umbrellas via the light's NATO rail. Its quick release design also makes it easy to adjust the umbrella once it is attached. If used with the COLBOR NB3.58 NATO extension bar (available separately), it can be attached to other COLBOR lights as well.

This is an effective, minimalist umbrella mount for NATO rails (and also the only of its kind from what I've seen). I use it on some lights with Smallrig Hawklock square NATO rails (the ones that come with their magic arms), which allow you to point the umbrella in the right direction. A single screw/knob tightens both the umbrella hole and rail mount at the same time. The umbrella hole fits standard round umbrella shafts like those on the current Impact umbrella lineup, but cannot fit larger hexagonal shafts.
I owe several higher power LED Continuous studio lights. One thing that they all have in common is no umbrella mount. Now many photographers will use a diffusion panel in front of these lights, but I prefer a reflective umbrella for some shoots. I bought a short nato rail mount to install on my led light and then this Colbor can slide on that rail and an umbrella can be added securely. I had to enlarge the inside opening just a touch, to be able to mount my wider diameter umbrella shafts. It works great.
