Review on 📷 Godox S-FA Four Speedlite Adapter Hot Shoe Mount Holder for S-Type Bracket, Hot Shoe Flash Speedlite + CEARI Microfiber Cleaning Cloth by Darryl Blumenthal

I have tried this adapter with a Canon 430 EX II and 2 Yongnuo 600EX RT-II, the problem is that 4 cold shoes are far from a perfect copy on the camera are removed. Yes, your flash's hot shoe slides in, but you can't move the lock wheel inside the flash, it only moves halfway, it doesn't reach the lock position. This can be for Godox or Neewer. flash. I thought all hotshoes were the same, but it turns out that Canon (and also Canon's Yongnuo models, possibly Nikon's too) can differ slightly from non-TTL models from brands like Godox or Neeweer, unfortunately this makes a small difference this to a reliable bracket is a little iffy. Also, I doubt the grip on the Godox adapter keeps the flashes from slipping out, it almost grabs it by the nail when used with one of the Yongnuo, it works better with the 430 EX II, but both flashes do wheel lock not, and the handle in the adapter doesn't inspire much confidence in either case. So far I've tested it with a 36" octagonal softbox and it fits snugly using the very last hole on the stem. The back of the Speedlites is still touching the speed ring in the softbox and this will make things as bad as possible. If I don't fully insert the hot shoe into the adapter so that my flashes only fit 3/4 into the hot shoe and I can only lock the wheel halfway onto the flash, the grip on the Godox adapter is useless with Yongnuos. I've read the exact same complaints from the Neewer version, which is identical. One reviewer suggested buying a 1/4-20 hot shoe adapter to connect things like a microphone or LED to your DSLR and then use the flash. standing to screw it into the 1/4-20 adapter. Loosening or tightening the screw in the handle (to make it work with Yongnuos) doesn't fix the problem, and loosening it too much can make it even more unsafe since it's the same handle (held by a single screw) that holds the one-piece Unit with 4 cold shoe mounts. If you let that knob twist a little to "lock" it, I think that screw might loosen more after a few uses. I can try 1/4 to 20 adapters and see what happens if I can't find a better solution than using duct tape or adding a large washer with a longer bolt. Whoever designed this needs to make the grip a bit larger so it can completely block the rail and keep the flash from slipping out. It might be better to use a separate handle to tighten the actual screw on that handle, also the holes should start a few millimeters further away so the flashes don't touch the bars or speedring in the softbox; If so, it will be a great product and definitely a game changer for those who prefer to work with flash and aren't ready to switch to monolights.
