Review on ๐Ÿ“ธ Neewer Black Metal Cold Shoe Flash Stand Adapter: 2 Packs with 1/4-inch -20 Tripod Screw by Erik Snyder

Revainrating 4 out of 5

> WORKS on shoe mounts

UPDATE > I found something better: DSLRKIT Quick Hot Shoe Tripod Adapter with 1/4"-20 Tripod Screw (2-pack)]. MY EXPERIENCE > I needed a way to securely hold the flash on the mount and also able to snap almost any photo for better modeling.The hot shoe didn't work because my flash was too heavy, the flash held on the "Neewer Cold Shoe Flash Stand Adapter" was an improvement but No matter how tight I tightened the screw, the flash would "fall out" from time to time.DSLRKIT Quick Hot Shoe Flash Stand Adapter works like a quick release camera., and solved my problem---but please see my review before purchasing on. ------------------------------------------------ -------------------DESCRIPTION > 1 1/4" wide x 3/4" deep x 5/8" high > 5/16" Diameter adjustment knob MINUS >Lock The handle is too small to to tighten it with your fingers. > There is no stop so the leg can slide all the way through, so it's important to tighten it properly. > Although the base is lightning leg sized, it is too thick to fit in the shoe knockouts.

If you keep opening and closing the "adapterโ€ by e.g. For example, holding the flash between shots and removing the flash with each shot, a similar mount with a "finger-friendly" grip will work for you.

The new "big knob" works really well, I can tighten or loosen the screw with my finger. JB Weld 8265S Original Steel Reinforced Epoxy Twin Pack - 2 oz. But this adapter, combined with 2x Mini Black Double Screw Angle 1/4" Hot Shoe Mount Adapter Holder, AGG1451, AGG1451, allowed me to create a metal connection that is not easy to break. >Click "Stoney" " right below the product name to see my feedback from others or leave a comment to ask a question.
