[QUOTE="WayneF, post: 540486, member: 12496"] Yes, the shoe will fit on the Manfrotto mount. See the "In The Box" tab in your link... There are two of the brass studs included with umbrella mounts.. the loose one that is shown with male threads, and one with female treads currently shown in the top. You take that top one out, and replace it with the male threads, and then you have the 1/4 inch tread to mount the flash shoe. The female threads could be used in the bottom, for example to hold it on a tripod screw. Both studs offer both 1/4 and 3/8 inch threads, turn it the way to provide what you need. However, without any stud in the bottom, it will directly fit on a regular 5/8 inch stand mount, instead of using the bottom stud. You could still use the bottom stud, but none is needed or used on a regular light stand. The stud is just a 5/8 inch mount, and a light stand with same regular mount will be more secure than if also using the separate stud and thread. The mount is good even if not using an umbrella, because it will allow the bare flash to be pointed downward. Otherwise there is no way to tilt the head downward. But the umbrella is the best feature. More about use of an umbrella mount at [URL="http://www.scantips.com/lights/umbrellas2.html"]Mounting Speedights in Umbrellas[/URL] [/QUOTE]
