Questions & Answers

Shopper : What is the deminsions of this item? length and height is most important. thanksJAMES S : 28-68" and can accommodate reflectors smaller in diameter. Maybe this is where the 12-67 in the heading comes from....distance between the clips.JESUS M : Closed down it's about 30 inches fully extended it's about 68 inches longDAVID N : 28" collapsed. 65" fully extended. Only a few inches wide (clamps) Larger stand clamp folds up.LEN B : the holder will extend to 5 feet 8 inches,then you put it onto a tripod,light stand or C stand and get what ever extra height that the length of that stand will ad to it.
Shopper : To anyone who had purchased this arm - What stand do you mount yours on? Does it have a standard 5/8" stud with 1/2" thread on top? It really doesn't matter what make and model the stand is.BOB M : I use mine with a standard light stand from Flashpoint and yes it does use the standard 5/8 stud for mounting. I would recommend this item if your need to hold a reflector / diffuser / GoBo!DAVID C : I use it on an inexpensive flashpoint light stand. Yes, standard 5/8" stud. Go easy on the reflector brackets plastic tighteners...It doesn't need brut force to adjust. Holds reflector well.
Shopper : Just picked this up a with a Flashpoint light stand. Mounting collar does not fit over the mounting stud, even when the side locking screw is removed. Did I simply get one that wasn't milled out wide enough?KARA D : That sounds like it could be the case. In my experience the mounting studs have been pretty standard in size to accomodate various accessories. I used my reflector bracket just last night on a 7' stand that came as part of a 3 light Flashpoint continuous light kit. Try backing the mounting screw out as far as it will go and rock the bracket around on top of the mounting stud with a little bit of force. Sometimes if metal edges aren't cleaned properly at the time of production they will create some resistance and little bit of friction will clean the edge and allow for a fit. If it's going to fit it shouldn't take too much pressure to get it on. Don't push too hard in case you need to return the item. Don't want to ruin it. Hope that helps.Jonathan S : I have six different brands of stands (from many years of accumulation) that this item fits on perfectly. I don't own any 'flashpoint' stands so I can't say about those.DAVID C : aDAVID C : The mounting stud (silver with a smaller threaded end) may have been shipped with a black plastic or rubber protector. Remove that, unscrew the tightening knob on (silver) mounting sleeve and it should fit perfectly. There is a deeper hole for the smaller threaded end to fit into. Once in, re-secure it with the tightening knob on mounting sleeve. TIP: Do NOT be too aggressive with or over-tighten any of the plastic knobs...they will break!

This Must Have Bracket Does Its Job Well

No more propping up reflectors against table legs and chairs. Using the Flashpoint Bracket is real easy...clip it on to your reflector and set on a light stand. The adustable arm lets you aim the reflector in any direction.

Good Value

This is a good value, but not a real high quality unit. Plastic fittings probably will not last under a lot of use, but it was very inexpensive so it is about what I expected. As long as it lasts a year or two, I got my moneys worth

Nice bracket for the money

Nice holder for the money, does its job. I use it to hold a 32" round reflector for clam shell. Ball joint works well, just wish the spring clamps on the end opened just a bit more.

Sub Par Grip for Ball-Joint

Bought this for when my assistant was not around or to free him up when he was. The design for the ball joint is flawed, far too small and not strong enough to securely hold even a 32" reflector parallel to the ground without wrenching it as hard as one possibly can (and we're both pretty big guys.) One of the plastic clasps that holds the reflector has also broken after less than a years use. I must admit on this one though that we do use it a lot so perhaps this is just wear and tear.

Metal & Plastic Arm. Good dollar value

This is the second one I have purchased. Seems to do the trick with a 32" and 42" reflector without issue thus far. My only concerns are the plastic components on the arms, so avoid overtightening and you should be fine

Does the job at a reasonable cost

Does the job that it was meant to do for a reasonable price. It does seem to struggle a little when using a larger diameter reflector i.e. 42 inch. Not a major problem for me but could be a consideration for other buyers.

Surprised with product capabilities.

I use the reflector bracket to hold my huge reflectors. No more having someone else hold them for me. Easy to use and very sturdy.
