Finally a hotshot stand adapter that doesn?t feel like a piece of junk. Love it.

Solid

Incredibly sturdy, solid metal. I use it with speedlites all the time and never had an accident. My one issue is that the locking ring at the top tends to loosen by itself, but honestly that might be user error ??

Sturdy and reliable

Easy adjustment (no thumb screws), universal fit for the cold shoe, and solid construction.

Solid and built to last

Photix is the most versatile lighting-to-stand adapter I've ever had. I've used them for years they've never broken. It was really great that Adorama's search-engine was quick to find them.

Great service from Adorama, best lighting adapter ever.

Versatile, well built product, delivered by top notch company.

Well constructed metal, holds weight an position once set.

SOLID!

I use this bad boy for both attaching my Flashpoint StreakLight 360's or my Canon speed lights when I am on the run. In studio I remove the hot shoe adapter and replace with a double sided stud to affix larger lights like my Alien bees 1600's. Works like a charm. I use a number if different umbrella light shapers with no hesitation. I highly recommend!!!!!!

Super Versatile and durable

This is an excellent choice. 
Is well made and will stand up to much use.
The shape of the knobs allow for easy use.

Good Deal

Works perfectly, very sturdy, just what i needed, I highly recommend this product!

Works perfectly!

Favorite umbrella bracket holder for speedlights. It locks into place.. most don't do that. It has that extra little carabiner on it. Super handy. Built very well.

well made

Strong. Nice fit. Appealing. Useful. Fair price.

Great product!

Good product. Purchased five; like all five. Strong; sturdy; smooth; clean. Get one!

Works as advertised.

This thing is sturdy, sturdy, sturdy, which was exactly what I was looking for. I got tired of popping the nuts off of cheaper versions of this product, and that's never going to happen with this. It's solid, heavy and perfect if you want something that will last.

Mil-spec construction!

Very well made and dependable. The only negative I can say I've found is when you tilt it. It has position notches so you don't have to worry about it slipping, but it might not be exactly where you might want it to be. THat's why I gave it 4 stars.

Very dependable

Build quality is good. Sturdy construction. Locking screws seem lightweight, would like to see heavier stud.

Good functional unit.

Works great

this is my first flash shoe umbrella holder and seems I made the right choice. pretty solid construction. only thing that would make it better is if the screw knobs weren't plastic.

solid

Angled umbrella holder.
Captive adjustment knobs are all the same sizes.
Pro quality alloy.
Steel shoe grip.
Utility attachment ink.
Ratcheted angle adjustment licks positivly.
