🌂 TARION Umbrella Softbox Holder Swivel Tilt Flash Bracket Adapter for Lamp Light Stand, 180° Adjustable with Mount Tripod - TARION-Shoeholder3_DE Review

The holes are too big, which makes the whole fixture deviate sideways when tightening the screw. I see others have mentioned this as well, so be careful. This affordable mount tilts your light or device about 10 degrees to the side.

I used these adapters for my LED lights with screen diffuser. LEDs are often so bulky that decent sized softboxes don't fit me, so I use umbrellas. They allow me to direct the LEDs more efficiently while maintaining an even spread of light. They are well built and come with a bolt.

This unit works well but not the best quality. I'm used to using Manfrotto equipment which is precision engineered, lighter and stronger. Manfrotto is of course more expensive, but the quality is impeccable. They're cheaper, not as easy to work with, and I wouldn't buy them again, but they work. You get what you pay for. As usual, you spend less - you get less.

I had it almost the same, but from a different manufacturer. This is solidly made. It has an annoying feature, but that feature probably makes it more secure. To change the angle, loosen the angle adjustment knob a few turns. It feels like there are notches between the two halves to lock them once tightened. But it is safe after blocking. No hanging umbrellas.

I use this mount to mount my Fuji XT-1 camera. I also put an arc clamp on it. It is built to withstand heavy use and features detents (like ARRI bushings) with every movement of the pivot. The clamping process works just like the C-pillar grip head I was looking for. This ensures that the swivel cannot move due to the force applied when tightening. I am very happy with my purchase.

Overall this product has great value, the metal parts are well made and it's easy to tell that they will last. I like the three piece design as it gives you a lot of freedom when working with an umbrella (that's what I use it for), the only thing I would like to see is that the handles are also metal or at least the better plastic they are not broken but apparently they are not made of quality material and as I use larger umbrellas in some cases they require more pressure (turns of the button)…

I came to buy a second one and decided to give a review while I was here. I am very happy with this adapter! The lighting kit I received didn't come with a softbox large enough to diffuse the light, and the company said that traditional softboxes weren't suitable for LED lighting, so I had to install something myself. I chose a U-shaped adapter so I can align the lamp and shade separately. It works great! I can tilt each in the direction I want and adjust how close and far the shade is from the

Not as good as a Manfrotto but works. It seems as durable as a Manfrotto. The tilt's action is "toothed" with positive stops, while the Manfrotto's action is smooth. In practice, this is a small problem. The supplied rivets are good. They look like brass to me even though the ad says aluminum. The grip that tightens the umbrella is not as comfortable as that of a Manfrotto. I read another review that stated that a screwdriver is needed to tighten the shield screw. I find it a little dramatic.
