Flash/Hot Shoe/Umbrella Holder

[Don Kuykendall_RIP]

Does anyone have any recommendations for a good brand / company to buy from for this adapter.

Flash and umbrella holder for light stand. I have umbrellas and light stands but I let my Brother in law borrow them and he lost the adapters.

Amazon.com: CowboyStudio Flashlight /Hot Shoe/Umbrella Holder with Swivel/Tilt Bracket for Nikon and Canon E430 E580 SB600 SB800 SB900: Camera & Photo

This is the one I have. I have 2 of them, and they fit any light stand, and I like the fact that you can adjust the angle, and can adjust the flash about 2 inches front and back. Not bad for 14$, and worth a shot.

I've had good success with my $5 CowboyStudio units:
Amazon.com: CowboyStudio Flashlight /Hot Shoe/Umbrella Holder with Swivel/Tilt Bracket for Nikon and Canon E430 E580 SB600 SB800 SB900: Camera & Photo

Appears to be $15 now...

Great Michigan minds think alike....

Anyone notice the packaging on this thing on the Amazon page? "FU SOB" LOLOL

Just bought the Cowboy Studio Flash umbrella holder. Got it for $7.99

That was the one I had been looking at but wanted to make sure others here had it and used it and were happy with.

I use these: Manfrotto 026 Swivel Umbrella Adapter (Lite-Tite) 026 B&H Photo
but you need to add the flash adapter (or use the base that comes with the flash)

 

[Mfrankfort]

haha. Maybe they were angry you got a good deal, and sent you the "angry" package. Good product though. Odd packaging.

I also use the ones from cowboy studios, lots of bang for the buck from them.

I also use the Manfrotto adapter with Giotto Mini Ballheads & the SB-800's stands for my umbrellas. Using the ballhead allows me more flexibility in positioning the flash with regard to my camera if I'm using the SU-800 (IR) for wireless triggering of the flashes. About $50 for the pair. A bit pricey, but I'm not afraid that a flash is going to bite the dust if it comes loose from a cheap clamp.

I ordered mine this morning and they have already been shipped. Should be here soon.

Nice setup Jim. My only concern would be the Speedlight stand in the mix. IMO that is the weak link.
