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

I've relied on CowboyStudio products for the past year (they make products, they don't make them). I think their verification process is pretty good.

I was going to give it five stars but then realized that one of the two I bought had the umbrella hole part loose where it screws into the top plate. I called CS for assistance and they told me how to take it apart and tighten the screws or send it back. I thought…
