This head has numerous uses. I use to to aim a Dracast LED500 when I have soft box on it. It's only a few dollars more than the cheap plastic head that Dracast sells. I've also used it with flags scrims and bounce cards when the fixture I had didn't allow for angle adjustments. And it's made by Matthews so you know it will virtually last forever.

A must have in studio lighting!!!

This is a very well thought of product By Matthews. I like that this allows you to position your light in any direction and with a simple turn it holds the position in place. The built is pretty tough too, meant to last for years of abuse.
