This is great concept and the design needs a little more tweaking. The holes in the arm do not line up exactly and there is a lot of play between the Adapter and the speed ring mount. The flash mounting is a little clunky but, it still does the job. Since all of my flashes are R2 devices, attaching, adjusting and firing this is a breeze from the hot shoe mounted commander on the camera body. It has some flaws but it works and I would recommend to shooters that want to put more than one Speedlight in a soft box.

Here?s what I learned: #1) you need the ?S? bracket not the ?S2? because the S has the hole for the doohickey. #2) Problems when installing in softbox or octobox! The shoes on the doohickey are pointing TOWARD the bracket. As a result the flash units MUST face the S bracket. Neither the shoe or flash units can be reversed! (there are stops on the Flashpoint shoes and the doohickey shoe can?t be reversed.) #3) there isn?t enough room to mount a soft box or octobox between the flash and S ring. The doohickey?s rod needs to be longer. Thankfully the Li-on round head units actually bend over backwards so here?s what I?ve got and it works well but it's a tight fit.

Great accessory to allow additional speed lights to be mounted within a softbox. I have used its with two and the lights are secure and stable.

Yeah, it basically works, but Canon speedlights (at least the two that I have) won't fit all the way into the cold shoes. That means I can't set the twist lock and have to just rely on them being held in by friction.

When I didn't have a portable strobe, these come in very handy... Worth the purchase to keep in your Photography Gear Bag... Very strong and super light weight, holds 4 flash units securely with a single twist... I've had no problems with this product and actually plan on purchasing another one...

This adapter is a great compliment to the S-Mount bracket allowing you to use up to 4 speed lights to get the power equal to a single 250w monolight. I would highly recommend this for anyone who does single light portraits outdoors and wants to easily and securely increase the power of their wireless flash system. I have used these with Canon and Nikon flashes and can confirm they work with both.

The adapter attaches easily to the S-Mount. So far I do not have any concerns about the support for my flash units in terms of safety or reliabilty.

I use this for when we have two shooters at a wedding and want to use one stand for both of our lights. My only compliant is that I have trouble getting the flash in father enough to turn the lock into place. I don't think that matters because you can still lock it with the flash. If you are looking to have more than one flash on a light stand and you have the s bracket this is perfect. Even if you need to purchase a s bracket it is worth getting as the s bracket is step up from most speedlight brackets.

I really like the S-type flash brackets and have 4 or 5 of them. This adapter is metal and sturdy, small for packing, low cost and useful ! The locking screws are a bit odd but otherwise really great way to use multiple speedlights (each on lower power for faster recycling or for more power. Will be getting these for every flash bracket I have

This adapter came with the Glow softbox and S-type flash bracket. I have not had the opportunity to use it as i don't have an extra flash to put on it. Looks like it will do the trick.

Handy little bracket for using multiple speedlights in a softbox and umbrellas. Good quality, I do recommend them.

Not sure how to use the set screws on this device. It's not obvious what they are for. And the lock knob to to keep the flashes on was not obvious either. Better instructions would have been helpful for such a simple device.

I was impressed with quality. Especially impressed with the value. It takes the strain off the electrical area of the speedlite while mounted on the light stand with a soft box. This should make the unit last longer and save money.
