Weak Point, May Be Strong Point?

I do like this cold shoe. In shooting in windy conditions on a light weight stand with 20 pounds of sand weighting it down, the stand, Nikon SB 800 and shoot through umbrella fell over twice, each time breaking the top flanges that hold the strobe in place. While disappointing, the breaking of the cold shoe probably prevented the hot shoe base of the strobe to be broken off the strobe itself thus saving a strobe repair bill.

Impressed

Very well made; tough and compact with a great locking feature. The Frio is a very nice alternative to the cumbersome OEM flash stands used to connect flash units to light stands/tripods.

Well-made SB-900/910 Cold Shoe

I prefer this to Nikon's portable stand built strong and has metal threads, but of course the Frio cannot be used as a stand in and of itself. It is great for mounting the flash separately on a light stand or tripod as part of a group in Remote mode.

Instant Attachment

This is such a time saver. The flash attaches to the Frio instantly, stays secure and releases just as easily.

Enlight Frio. Cold shoe

Holds a flash on a stand bit does not offer the ability to tilt it so it is useless to me

Cold shoe adapters have seemingly been around forever but enlight photo decided to take a hard look at the design to rethink and enhance it to its maximum potential with the frio Universal Locking Cold Shoe V2. First they reduced the weight by using a strong polymer. That solved inadvertent flash firing from metal on metal shorting as well.

The frio's patented DualLock system ensures that your valuable equipment is securely mounted. The patented DualThread receiver on the bottom of the frio accepts both 1/4"-20 and 3/8"-16 stand and accessory screws. There's a lanyard tip to hang your radio receiver from, too. The frio is compatible with most standard flash hot shoes on the market including Nikon's SB-900.

The Frio V2 Features

  • Mount anything with a hotshoe; your flash, light panel or hot shoe mic to any tripod and many light stands
  • Features a universal standard 1/4"-20 / 3/8"-16 thread
  • Patent-pending DualLock security
  • Whatever you fit to your frio stays put and comes off in an instant when you're done
  • Safe and secure SlipNClick technology confirms that you're securely mounted
  • Universal locking pin cavity so your flash's lock works too
  • Compact and lightweight, it takes up negligible space in your bag
  • Handy lanyard point to hang your radio slaves or any other accessory with a lanyard
