Can I use bowens 500 light with a umbrella with this?
Asked by: Daniel
I am not sure about the Bowen adapter but you probably can as most of these have standard mounts. However this Manfrotto lite-tite adapter will slip if not if not very firmly tightened when it has heavy light modifiers, etc. connected to it. A more secure fixture, because it has a ratchet swivel, is the Phottix Varos Pro BG and also available at B&H.

Will this work with my Godox AD200 where I can screw the strobe to the top and just pop an umbrella in? Sort of like the one that comes with the AD200, but made of metal? Thanks.
Asked by: Cory
It will work with a AD200. Its much stronger than the little plastic mount.

Is this safe to hold a Aputure 600x on a C-Stand?

Is this safe to hold a Aputure 600x on a C-Stand?
Asked by: BAIRN
Not sure where you are using it on. I checked the weight of that Aputure light, it's over 4 Kg. That is pretty heavy. I think the answer would depend on what height you are exactly using. I have tried it with Manfrotto's tripods at heights over 12 feet and I can never get it to hold their extension rod which is much light than that. It always falls no matter how much I tighten it.
