Questions & Answers

Shopper : Does the universal swivel umbrella holder tilt?RALPH R : Yes it does.RICK C : Yes, it tilts up and down.
Shopper : what is the origin of manufacture?ANDREW R : Not specified in the available marketing materials, however it's likely China.
TAMMY S : Can I use a Nikon SB 910 speed light with this set up?JAMES W : I don't see why you couldn't use that flash.JOHN G : I have Canon equipment. This holder works well with both the Canon 580 EX2 and 430 EX2 flashes. I also use them to hold The Pocket Wizard remotes and a generic brand remote trigger. These holders work well for me and I highly recommend them. As long as the foot on the flash of your Nikon SB 910 is a standard size you should be ok but unfortunately I can't can't answer that. Good luck!IAN H : Yes. It comes with the metal piece which lets you fit on speed lights.DAVID N : As the question above answered - the cold shoe is universal. There is a set screw on the side to adjust for any minor tolerance differences. Also, you should be able to use your flash mount lock as a secondary precaution.

Very Nice for the Price

It feels very solid and sturdy holding my flash, trigger, and 30" umbrella. I will buy them again when I get more umbrellas.

Great Value

I like this piece. It does exactly what I need it to do and is very versatile. For the price, I haven't found any better.

Excellent quality

I have used a large number of umbrella swivels and this one is the best I have found. Quality of materials and construction is excellent. Most useful are the male and female 5/8 inch spuds for mounting items that do not have a hotshoe mount. I use this swivel with the Streaklight 360 and the threaded base for a rock solid mount for my light. It holds position and is easily adjusted.

Flash/Umbrella bracket

I liked the first so much that I immediately ordered another one. I recently bought an umbrella stand, from another source, that came with a bracket but it was poorly made, so I didn't trust it with my expensive Canon flash.

Had to find and works great

For some reason searching for these elsewhere they are not easy to find. They are sturdier than other systems for holding my flash to a light stand. Many adjustment angles possible.

Not Heavy Duty Enough

I bought this to use with my new 7' Parabolic Umbrella and it can't with stand the weight of the umbrella and flashes i attached to it. Luckily I had a Manfrotto swivel holder handy that could handle the load.

This thing is made like a tank! I have the ability to crank one of these little beauties out in my basement, but not at this price. This baby is so darn flexible you won't believe it. What I was using was garbage compared to this unit. You have total control of the amount of slippage you need for adjustment. Just take a good look at the quality of the brass inserts - WOW.

Solid Mount

Pretty good mount, do note that it is mostly plastic, a very hard plastic. It works as it should, it is very good quality, and a bit on the bulky side.

Good to have one in your bag

It is very easy to use, and comes with a cold shoe for mounting a flash, which is very useful whenever you don't have an assistant with you. Seems very solidly built

Good enough bracket

Well enough built bracket. I felt the screw which holds umbrella shaft is a bit weak for my 7 footer. Otherwise a good bracket.

Just what I needed

I regularly have to use clamps to mount my off camera flash and I'm frustrated that many inexpensive swivel brackets either do not have a option to mount the bracket through the side or the hole is not large enough. This one works beautifully with my clamps as well as my light stands. I love that it comes with the male and female adapters. I have never used the cold shoe mount because I do not like the idea of the flash being held at a single point with a screw. I automatically buy a cold shoe mount that I prefer and give this one away. (I don't trust myself not to over tighten and break the foot on my speedlights.) When I need to replace or add another swivel bracket I will be purchasing this one.

Great compact light stand!

I bought this stand for an upcoming wedding. Right out of the box I was able to work it. Although it's one more piece of equipment to schlepp, it's light in weight and easy to use. I also want to add, Adorama's service from start to finish has always been outstanding! They always answer all my questions. That's a big deal to me!

fit for purpose

Typical Manfrotto 026 side by side usage at lower price. While utility is on the par, warranty remains to be seen, since we used it on only a couple of shots. Hence 4 out of 5.

Adorama Universal Swivel Holder

I use this to mount my Nikon SB900 and SB910 with an umbrella for off camera flash shooting. It mounts all connections easily and doesn't slip.

High Quality Product!

This bracket is very well made. It includes both a brass stud and a flash bracket cold shoe made of metal with a screw on the side to hold the flash in place. It can be used in the Studio to hold a strobe head and outside with a speedlite. In both cases, you can attach an umbrella OR also a softbox (with the addition of another type of bracket).

Impressed with quality of construction and use. It holds my 7' umbrella and strobe sturdy and quick to set up. Comes with extra pieces to make it work with other items.

Solid unit for use with Speedlites

The holder is used with speedlites and work great. The angle adjustment holds up well with my 52" umbrellas and speedlite on the mount. The adapters are a plus if needed. I would have given 5 stars but I don't know how this will hold up over time. Will the polymer continue to hold the weight or start drooping, only time will tell. I would prefer polymer on the flash mount foot as I always cover the metal so I have no electrical contact with the flash unit to bare metal.

LOVE IT!!!!

Love this Adorama Universal Swivel Holder - Umbrella Bracket. It is easy to use and high quality. Love the large handle for moving the holder, and the large knob makes it simple to lock in just the right spot. Couldn't ask for better product.

Simple and useful

I bought 3 of this swivel holder to use them with my Manfrotto stands and my Nikon SB-700 flashes with Lastorlite Umbrellas. The quality was great for what I paid for, easy to setup and use.

Very Good Product

I use this in my studio to mount a speedlite and Umbrella for portraiture. It works very well. It mounts on a standard light stand and is completely adjustable and easy to use. Perhaps not the sturdiest mount ever, but more than adequate for a 36" umbrella and a flash.

Not too good with large umbrellas

This product was recommended for the 16-RIB 68" umbrella that I purchased. The rod fit well into the slot, and secured tightly, but the weight of the umbrella makes the tilt not stay at the angle that I place it. Since the device is plastic, I do not go overboard with the tightening. I simply found a copper wire, and secure it at the angle that I need.

Adjustable Flash Mount by Adorama

I purchased this swivel holder for use with my Nikon SB600 Speedlight. So far it has functioned adequately for the purpose I bought it for. The swivel hold the SB600 Speedlight and umbrella in place very well. It is made of metal and plastic. In my opinion it is worth the price I paid and would recommend it for friend.

Does a great job on my light stands with umbrellas. I also use it on monopod outside with a speedlite and modifier.
