Essential for large modifiers

I absolutely love this grip from MSE. Allows me to have a bigger range of tilt for a large modifier like the Elinchrom 190cm Litemotiv from a Matthews Hollywood Baby Jr. Triple Riser.

Handy When You Need It

When I saw this in the Matthews catalog, I could see the benefit immediately. Most lights with yokes can only tilt down so far, especially if they have barn doors. This effectively provides an additional sixty degrees of downward adjustment range. There are other ways to accomplish this, but this is fast, simple, and works in tight spaces. I don't know when I'll need it next, but when I do, I'll be glad to have it. As is typical with Matthews gear, this is very well made and strong.
