I love this thing!

It is so handy to gang up a coupla speedlites and mount them on a light stand and use a bounce or shoot through umbrella. I'm currently using them with 2 Godox iT30Pro's and just holding the bracket in my left hand for a really small run and gun super portable light source. I'm attaching a few photos from a recent Nostalgia Train Event in NYC (December, 2025).

Sturdy and useful

This all metal bracket has an impressive angle, locking ability, uses grooves to lock in the angle. I plan on using it when I want one flash to bounce off the ceiling and the other two point forward. The shoe is held in place with a hex bolt that’s on extremely tight, but can be rotated with a wrench. Kind of wish they used thumb screws but I still highly recommend this thing as it is built like a tank.

question

Is the umbrella mounting hole angled upward to help center the flash beams in the center of the umbrella?
Asked by: Timothy
I don't remember, because I returned this product. My recollection is that it was NOT angled and that was why I did not like it. If it was angled, it did not hold the umbrella securely enough to keep the umbrella at the proper angle. I recommend you check out the Phottix brackets. Much better made, although more expensive.

question

Is the top bar supporting the two shoes rotatable? Also, the shoes are secured by bolts that appear to accept a hex wrench. Is each shoe independently rotatable with respect to the bar?
Asked by: Kim
I do not believe the hex bolts can be removed they maybe Lock tight. I just tried to unscrew the bolt and it would not move. But you can face your flash or light either direction in the shoe front or back.

question

Can this hold a large umbrella, e.g. 60 or even bigger?
Asked by: Adam N.
It has a substantial toothed locking system that should handle that fine.
