Review on Phottix Varos Pro M Flash Shoe Umbrella Holder (PH87199) - Multi-function Photography Accessory by Joel Young

My favorite umbrella holder. Lots of features compared to other brands. I researched many umbrella holders and came across the Phottix Varos Pro Series. Phottix is suitable for umbrellas with a diameter of 7-10mm, which can be used with umbrellas of different brands. An 8-degree teardrop notch directs the flash light to the center of the screen. Above the umbrella clip is an extended, curved insert that mates with the umbrella stem, providing maximum tension and preventing damage. With other umbrella holders, the head of the bolt simply touches the umbrella stem, causing dents and dents in the umbrella stem. The tilting mechanism has a recess and can withstand a lot of weight even when rotated 180 degrees. There is a unique release button to secure the bottom tab. There is a hanging hole with carabiner for weights, zip ties, batteries, etc. The anodized aluminum cold shoe is adjustable and pivotable. I have both a small (S) that screws the hot shoe into the mount and is 1/2 inch shorter, and a medium (M) that screws the hot shoe into the sleeve so you can attach and detach a speedlite quickly. you. Sleeve that keeps the speedlite attached to the cold shoe. The body is shot-peened cast aluminum and is somewhat reflective, not as smooth or matte as the product photos.
