This versatile umbrella adapter (also called a swivel bracket) lets you conveniently mount a shoe-based flash and a photographic umbrella to a light stand or tripod.
The item includes the basic light stand⁄umbrella mount, two 5⁄8 inch brass inserts, and a clamp style flash shoe.
This is the same shoe sold individually as FlashZebra.com Item #0137 — go here for more information about this clamp style flash shoe.
This clamp style flash shoe easily attaches to most flash units and works especially well with the hard to fit Nikon SB-900, 800, 600 and 80DX.
One brass insert has a ¼ inch - 20 screw on one end, and a 3⁄8 inch - 16 screw on the other end. In the picture this adapter has the clamp shoe already attached to the ¼ inch end.
The other brass insert has a ¼ inch - 20 screw hole in one end, and a 3⁄8 - 16 screw hole in the other.
These brass inserts allow you to easily adapt all sorts of flash attachments to the umbrella adapter. This is a most versatile device.
The adapter will mount on both 3⁄8 inch and 5⁄8 inch light stands, and to standard tripods using one of the included brass inserts.
To add a photographic umbrella, just insert it into the hole in the bracket and tighten the securing thumbscrew.
The bracket has a convenient angle adjustment with a robust handle to secure the angle of interest.
When attached the angle position of the umbrella moves automatically with the angle position of the attached flash.
