Everyone should have a few of these in their gear bags. So many uses. Would be lost without it.

Good solution to a common problem, but too expensive! I think that is only objection.

As a photographer for USA Today, I am always on the go and dont always have time to set up light stands. However, the Justin Clamp with the attached shoe by Manfrotto is a must have because of the versatility. You can attach it to trees branches, hide it in ceilings, etc. The strength and reliability will not disappoint you.

Thanks to Joe McNally and Justin Staley for coming up with this ridiculous invention, which, if you're doing flash photography in a space where you can't use a lightstand you just gotta have. It'll go on a lightstand, it'll go on a tripod, and if it can't go on one of those it can go just about anywhere. Don't leave your studio without at least one.

This cold shoe flash clamp is a quality product. I am always concerned about my expensive flash units on other flash mount devices. This device is secure, flexible, rugged and worth the money.

Works great for clamping onto just about anything - curtains, stair rails, light stands (clamp to side when second-shooting, or mount to top). Only downside is the cold-shoe. It's not at all secure (at least with my SB900/910 or PW FlexTT5)... I modify all of mine with a standard (cheap) shoe mount and some 1/4 20 thread. Works like a charm.

Conventional flash / umbrella adapters mounted my flash - shoe mount trigger combo too high. I just clamp this to the stand below the umbrella mount and it brings the flash head even with the center of the umbrella.

I have 10 of these clamps. They are my go-to piece of equipment when designing lighting for both photo and video shoots

I often photograph people in locations (e.g. bars, restaurants, shops) that may not accommodate a light stand, but I can always find places to use these to position flash heads. They also let me "make" booms from things that most places have -- like a broom. Lately, I use them more than stands.

I use the Justin clamp with my SB-800 and 910's and absolutely love it. My only complaint is that while the SB-800 fits nice and snug, the 910 seems loose and can fall out of the hot shoe even after locked. It happened to me yesterday while on a shoot and the flash fell 4 feet to the ground, breaking the diffuser dome.

This is an excellent addition to your off-camera flash gear. A very sturdy clamp with a great cold shoe... holds your flash secure and mounts almost anywhere. Has rubber "feet" on the clamp side, so works well as a sturdy flash stand, and also holds tight when you clamp to a door, railing, rod or whatever is handy. Also has stud to mount on a flash stand. Definitely recommend this. Trying to justify a second one because they are so handy...

Best way to get your flash off the camera and not worry about it. The ball head is great and allows precise positioning of the flash. The clamp is strong and attaches securely to anything. Totally worth the price. I'll be buying a second one soon.

This is one of those things, like a super clamp, that you need to have "just incase" You can use them as an umbrella holder/speedlight mount, or to clamp to a variety of surfaces etc. Google for all the mounting options.

Photographing all type of events you need a flash some place this clamp will help you. I use a SB800 nikon flash in remote mode and place this clamp with my flash just about anyplace. It will also stand on the floor or table top, works very well.

Excellent multi-use item! Mount a flash, clamp it to a shelf or attach it to a lightstand, and you're set. You need at least one of these...

The Nikon SB 900 does not fit comfortably on the cold shoe of the 175f. I think it's going to break the housing when I try to "jam" the flash on to it.

A Must Have Item
By dmcusmc
This is one the best things I have ever purchased! I take these clamps everywhere I go, weddings, sports, outdoors, I mean everywhere. Very solid build, very handy, compact, yet very very strong! These quickly clamp onto almost anything to mount a light with or without an umbrella. I use these with my Nikon SB-800 speedlights, for adding a 2nd, 3rd or 4th light for shots. A must have!
An additional version of the classic Clip Clamp. This Clamp has a positionable miniature ball head with a plastic flash shoe attachment to allow it to clip and position a flash unit wherever it is needed without shorting out the flash. Flexible in application and suitable for every kind of surface
