Solid, simple, too simple
By AlexZVerified Reviewer from Dallas, TX on 5/14/2008
Pros:
Strong Construction
Cons:
can damage the flash shoe, Poor Interface
Best Uses:
Lighting
Describe Yourself:
Hobbyist/Enthusiast
Bottom Line:
No, I would not recommend this to a friend

It looks not like picture (see attached image). Has no shoe contacts. The 1/4" mount hole opens on both sides - long screw can damage your flash shoe. But big plus is - it is single solid piece of aluminium, so it keeps flash very strong.

Great Mount, Nothing Like the Picture
By JasonVerified Purchaser from South Jersey on 3/6/2008
Pros:
Lightweight, Strong Construction
Best Uses:
Flash Mounting, Lighting
Describe Yourself:
Hobbyist/Enthusiast
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

The product I received is nothing like the picture, although I'd have to say what I got was better. The mount is a piece of solid, machined aluminium with the 1/4" mount on bottom and the shoe mount on top (as you would expect).

I use it to hold my Sunpak 383 to my stand, instead of the flimsy Cactus wireless receiver.
