Questions & Answers

MEL W : What's the best way to attach the flash to stand with this holder?MATTHEW B : If your flash came with a flash stand (little plastic thing that slides into the flash 'foot' and allows you to stand it on a table), then the included connector (the silver stud that drops into the top of the umbrella adapter - see Adorama's product photos) will screw into the bottom of one of those stands. If your flash did not come with one, they can be purchased cheaply from Adorama or another retailer. Make sure the stand is manufactured to match the proprietary foot on your flash (e.g. Sony foot is different than Nikon, and Canon... some are more universal than others - see links below for eamples). That connector/stud is also the same standard size as the screw-hole mounting point on the bottom of most DSLRs and mirrorless digital cameras.DAVID H : You'll need a small hot shoe that has a screw hole that will attach to the inserted pin at the top of the picture. About $5 if I recall correctly, and readily available.BRET C : You will need a hot shoe adapter...it screws on to the stud on top. It looks like the hot shoe on top of your camera...then simply slide the flash gun into it and lock it down.
CHERYL C : how does this compare to the Manfrotto 026 umbrella holder?YEHOSHUA S : Well built and metal, like the Manfrotto. The tilt has teeth so they need to line up when you adjust the angle.CHRISTOPHER M : It is sturdy, but not at all as smooth as the Manfrotto. The tilt adjustments have teeth and those need to line up properly when you adjust the tilt. The spigots are also lighter weight material.BRET C : Its really nice but I wouldn't put too much weight on it.
Suzanne B : Does the Flashpoint Umbrella Swivel Holder get attached to a tripod?AARON N : It's designed for a light stand. It has an adapter with a male threads that are the same as the tripod mount, that attaches to the camera. But not to attach this, to a tripod.RAYMOND-RUTH P : I'm not sure because I use it on a light stand.RUSSELL W : No. It gets attached to an umbrella stand not a tripod.ANDRE R : Suzanne, My swivel holder is still in the package, however, there are adaptors that seem to allow you to attach it to a tripod, possibly the same way you would attach your camera.ANEURY P : To a light stand not a tripod .

Works as advertised, for a good price.

Good value for what it is, it's built solid and works just fine. One Con - the umbrella screw is a bit difficult to work with.

Great adjustment at a bargain price!

I'm very impressed with this holder. Especially for the price. Great adjustment and feels very well built. I primarily use it for my mic boom setup. It makes it very easy to adjust the position of the mic to the subject.

This is the second holder like this that I have purchased because the first one worked so well and was easy to use, stable and held firmly.

Reliable, stays put

I got this because the free swivel umbrella adapter that I got for free with my AD200 just wasn't cutting it. This Flashpoint adapter is a vast improvement. When you set it to a certain position, it stays there. I haven't tried it with a heavier strobe, but it has been perfect with my AD200. I would definitely purchase this again!

Fabulous Umbrella Adaptor

Bought this to help anchor my Quantum T-2 flash to my light stand. I bought two and both are excellent. They are well made and sturdy. I highly recommend them.

Heavy duty

Much heavier than the cheaper Chinese version on Ebay. Even the less expensive versoins here at Adorama were heavier than those on Ebay. Nice handles vs tiny screws. If I'm going to use them a lot, I'm spending a bit more to avoid the aggravation. One of the tighten bolts was hard to turn and required replacement or, in my case, use if a tap & die system to free it up. On three orders I've had three problems that would require returns to remedy If I didn't have a shop.

Works great!

I haven’t even used it for an umbrella, I just use it to adjust the mounting of my speedlight for outdoor shoots. It works great—I’m sure it would work equally well with an umbrella attached.

I use this product for my commercial photography business. They get tons of use almost every day. I love that it is all metal construction and very sturdy. I have had the plastic ones before but they always seemed to break when I needed them most. so I bought these and have been way more than satisfied. I have 4 of these now and have had them for 4-5 years and I just bought 2 more for two more lights. I dont think I'll ever need to buy another one because it was broken... and thats what I nee...

Simple and Good

By Daniel P.

I have been using this swivel head for a couple of years now and frankly it just works! I have had no issues for holding its position as set and is easy to use.

Just imagine the flexibility and control you can achieve with your lighting setup using the Flashpoint Swivel Umbrella Adapter. This versatile piece of photography equipment is designed to securely link your monolight, Speedlight, or strobe to a standard stud found on light stands and clamps, along with an umbrella.

This durable swivel umbrella adapter is a favorite among photographers, offering the ability to connect and control the swivel and angle of both strobes and speedlights. The adjustable handle is not only comfortable but also repositionable, allowing you to easily adjust the tooth-lock, spring-controlled swivel mount. This feature enables you to change the vertical angle of your light source with ease, providing you with the perfect lighting angle for every shot.

The sturdy umbrella bracket is designed to accommodate all sizes of umbrellas up to an 8mm shaft diameter. It allows you to fix the on-axis umbrella at a distance from the light source, ensuring optimal light spread for your photography needs.

The top stud of this reliable swivel umbrella adapter is tightened with a large sliding T-handle, while the bottom tightens onto the stand with a large knob. The sliding handle top screw allows you to secure your light onto the bracket, even in tight spaces.

The adapter comes with two reversible 5/8" threaded studs, offering a universal solution to gear connectivity. One is a 1/4"-20 female to 3/8" female and the other is a 1/4"-20 male to 3/8"-16 male, which can be screwed into a flash with a female tap. The two can be joined for devices that require a deep mate. A hole is provided on the male piece to aid in tightening and loosening the join.

Whether you're shooting indoors or outdoors, the Flashpoint Swivel Umbrella Adapter is an essential tool for achieving the best lighting conditions for your photography.

  • Connects lights to a stand and allows you to control the angle and direction
