Black Adjustable Shoe Mount Bracket for Speedlites - Westcott 5015 Review

The product description and product images were perfect and made the purchase easy. The package was sent quickly and received on time.

I need an easy way to attach my speedflares to my stand. 2 of these and a pair of lightweight 9" stands were perfect for my onsite work.

Sturdy all-metal mount for use with my Canon Speedlights and 60" Westcott Umbrella. I used these (2) the day I received them and have no complaints just that I should have bought them a long time ago. They hold both the flash and umbrella securely in place and work as expected. I'm quickly becoming a Westcott fan as this isn't my first Westcott gear and so far they've all shipped!

I have used this type of plastic umbrella/flash mount in the past. The problem is that the thread is "squeezed" and the thread insert pops out when tightened.

You don't put the flash INSIDE, you attach it to the side with a thumb clip. PICTURE SHOWN for Westcott 5015 allows Canon 430 or 580 or Pocket…

Almost lost the $200 flash that was on top. I ordered a pair of metal threads. They are much stronger and I no longer have to worry about an expensive flash falling out of its bracket.

This shoe rack is the second one I have. I already had a shoe mount light stand, but I wanted a second one because sometimes I need to shoot with two flashes. This product is great. It is very adjustable and works very well. Of course I can't compare with other products because I only know this one. However, you must be careful to properly install and securely fasten the flash onto the shoe mount. Without proper attention, the flash may fall. However, with due attention, nothing of the sort…
