Questions & Answers

Ronald E : Are you able to use an umbrella with this bracket?Ronald T : The version of the Bracket I have does not have a hole/clamp for an umbrella. I use it for my Godox AD200 attached to octabox.PAUL M : Yes.MICHAEL D : Yes.James B : Yes, you can mount umbrellas with this bracket.JENNIFER M : yes.
MELODY J : I have a Flashpoint Zoom Li-ion R2 TTL Speedlight. Will I be able to use the Flashpoint S-R1 Round Head Magnetic Modifier Adapter With AK-R1 Accessory Kit when my flash is mounted on this bracket?JAY H : I don't think so. It doesn't have a round bottom or removable part in the bottom to make it round.MICHAEL D : Hi Claus, You would need the Glow S2 Round Flash S-type Bowens Mount Bracket for Round Head Flashes (Godox S2) SKU: GLBDSM02PRO OR if you want a handle grip, the Glow GRIPLITE X S-Type Bracket Pro Bowens Mount Holder for Round Speedlite Flashes SKU: GLBDSM05 Please contact us at brands@adorama.com for more info.ROBERT S : I haven’t been able to use it. I use Evol 200 strobes and neither the 200 or the 200 pro fits in the bracket. The idea of the bracket is great but needs a little more work for functionality.THANH T : This unit is holding all regular flashes, I don’t think this unit will not block the round heads. Good luck and keep shooting.
PATRICIA V : Will the Evolv AD 200 fit this handheld grip S-Type bracket easily? Do I have modify it?Ronald T : No you do not. I have the same unit. Be sure to open the unit as wide as possible. Then push the head through the opening. You may need to give it a good push. It is a tight fit. I like it so the AD 200 does not slip out even with a modifier connected.STUART E : My other glow S-Type brackets, designed for use on light stands, fit over the evolv 200. But the handgrip version was a little bit too tight and had to be modifiedBrands@ A : Yes. It will fit.Randy B : Yes it fits with no modification.ROY P : Yes it fits perfectly. No mods necessary.TOM G : There shouldn't be any problem to fit your Evolv AD 200. I have an Orlite flash thats about the same size as your unit. But I would recomend a simular S-Type bracket where the handle is shorter for strengh if you are going to put it on a stand and using large softboxes unless you are going to handhold it.Eli S : It does not for me. Get the other brands or the other without the handle.CARLOS V : No.. You will have to modify it slightly. You could use an extension head to mount the flashhead to the bracket.

Would skip this one in favor of the version that is $25 and made of metal.

Feels cheap and didn't fit my AD200 flash body without having to forcefully press it through the opening. I would opt for the $35 version as it is significantly better in build quality and is a cheap investment for expensive lights.

Very useful but can droop

This item works as it should, allowing me to use bowens Mount soft boxes with my speedlight, either handheld or on a light stand. However it can struggle at keeping itself at the right angle, with the weight of a large soft box pulling it down further if it's set at a low angle. A way to more securely lock in an angle would be a good revision for a future model.

Works as expected.

It holds my Nikon SB800 well and also I could mount Glow 36 inch softbox. Meets my need for my studio setup.

It does the job.

It works decent but feels a little cheap. The thumbscrew for the umbrella holder is really tiny and hard to grip.

Essential gear.

This is truly a no-brainer if you've got the Explor200 or similar sized lighting units. Light goes in the back and clamps down, Bowens modifier goes in the front. Bang bang.

Speedlight in a softbox

It's a good price and it's strong enough for a small softbox, or maybe a medium one.

Not for umbrella users!

I love this mount when using it on a Bowens modifier. It holds the flash solidly and is very sturdy. However, if you are going to use an umbrella don't buy this. The screw is not solid enough to tighten up. The threads are very fine and when you begin to tighten them they strip out of the plastic that surrounds the screw. I am going to have to get a coarse bolt and thread it in the hole to make it useful at all. So 5 stars for a Bowens mount user and 2 for an umbrella user. Averages to 3 stars.

Required, but also a bit nice

This little bracket makes it super easy! Not just adapting a Bowens mount to a speedlight or Flashpoint/godox strobe, but also to mount the whole caboodle and easily switch modifiers back and forth. I'm grateful for the price point, since it's a necessity interpreter.

the newer model is better

This Works well. I received this in a package deal with the ad200 pro. For it's purpose I probably deserves 5 stars. However it is an older model. The newer version is adaptable to the 300, the roundhead v1 and the ad400 pro. So if you are purchasing as a stand alone product it's probably worth paying a little more for versatility of the newer model.

Still great for eVOLV 200s

Perfect for using your Flashpoint eVOLV 200 or 200 Pro with a Bowens mount modifier. It also has a handy umbrella holster

S-Bracket Superior to Newer S-2

I use this S-bracket to mount both my Godox v860 speed lights and Flashpoint AD200s on nightstands with a variety of umbrellas and Bowens mount soft boxes. It works extremely well with both as does the S-2 bracket which I also own, BUT the umbrella mount on the S-bracket with its actual tension screw is FAR superior to the fragile metal tension spring on the S-2. So I STRONGLY recommend purchasing this over the S-2 (and it costs less too!)

Hole for screw strips out easy but the main funtion of holding your light works well.

It holds up to an AD200 just fine but if you plan on using an umbrella with these you should find a different S bracket. The hole for the screw that secures the umbrella strips out SUPER easy. I have knock off S brackets that I've had for years that are fine. It's main function still works great though.

Solid product

Product is stronger than the plastic one I am replacing it with, the loud clicking. While repositioning it is not there. Works very smoothly. This one is used on an overhead boom for tabletop work.

Holds Godox flashes

What can I say, it does it?s job pretty well. The locking washer is a bit stiff so you can sand that down to make it turn easier. But other than that, it does what it?s supposed to do without issue.

It does fit

By Zman_photo

Yes this will fit the eVOLV 200 light if you take off the rubber boot. The locking mechanism is better on this one versus the normal bracket.
