Review on 📸 Enhance Your Photography and Videography with CowboyStudio Triple Hot Shoe Light and Sound Bracket with Umbrella Holder, Mount J by John Pound

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Great little gadget at a fantastic price.

When I ordered these I was expecting something cheap as the price was around $5 each. I ordered 4. When they arrived I was amazed to find that they were MUCH better quality than I expected. At the base they are made of very durable plastic, but the clamping head is screwed on top and is made of metal. The only thing I didn't like was the clamping screw used to attach the umbrella mount. It tends to mess up the umbrella handle a bit and isn't very strong, but as I don't intend to use an umbrella with it I don't really care about that part. Clamps and fasteners for stroboscopes. I attach a Manfrotto 175F spring clamp with hot shoe - aka a Justin clamp (black) or an Avenger C1000 drop-ceiling scissor clamp or my VersaClamp (more versatile than a tripod) for Kodak pocket camcorders (plus a 4 AA/AAA battery box ) [#1] then attach this little thing and attach your flash to it and finally I add my Gary Fong Lightsphere Gary Fong Lightsphere Universal System Cloud (or any other diffuser CowboyStudio Photo/Video 20" Speedlite Softbox Flash with L -Added mount , shoe mount and carrying case) to the flash to diffuse the light so my indoor portraits always have great lighting Doesn't suddenly fall off, snaps into the next groove when flipped Very nice feature for something so cheap :) Give it a try worth it, you won't regret it.
