About Phottix Multi-boom 16" Flash Bracket
The Phottix Multi-boom 16" Flash Bracket mounts in a standard umbrella swivel, holds two flashes on axis with the umbrella shaft, and allows the softbox to be tilted.
Umbrellas softboxes are great lighting modifiers. Easy to transport and use, fast to set-up - but there's one big drawback: Because of the design they are almost impossible to tilt on a traditional light stand.
Phottix has realized this flaw and overcome it. Introducing the Phottix Multi Boom. The compact Multi Boom mounts in a standard umbrella swivel, holds two flashes on axis with the umbrella shaft, and allows the softbox to be tilted. Halleluiah, the days of freakish, jury-rigged mounting are over.
