It's way better than the original design
There seems to be confusion between this, the new design, and the first generation flash mount.
This holds up well in my home studio. Why pro shooters would even have this gear is beyond me. You should be shooting Profoto or the like, this is not pro level gear.
Pair this up with a Photoflex medium Half Dome, Yongnua 560ii and a Plus X and for a few hundred bucks you have a nice light system. I mean light duty!

Flimsy Design
I used this accessory on a Photoflex lightstand at wedding receptions and for lifestyle portraiture. Within months, one of the two shoe mounts broke and the other two pieces never felt firmly in place. The lightstand broke today so I'll be replacing the entire set up ASAP.

Flimsy, but works
I've used this with the Small LiteDome softbox, but don't recommend it. The L-Bracket is too weak to hold even the small softbox. This product says it's intended for the X-Small softbox, but that's not much bigger than the much easier to use (and pack!) LumiQuest SBIII or LTp.
If you're looking for a larger softbox for your hot shoe flashes, this is not what you want. Get the Lastolite Ezybox Softbox for hot shoe flashes.

good addition to the on location kit
good addition to my on location kit. Keeps a strobe and transceiver together, in one place, so neither is hanging around. We use them regularly for our off camera fill flashes when space and a clean pro look is important.
Just don't drop it with the strobe attached. This unit will hold up, but the plastic mount on the strobe won't.

Weak product broken within months
Used a few times for location photography. A few months after purchasing found it broken in the bag. The set screw in one the shoe mounts broke off. This is reported in another review here so most likely it is a flaw in the design. Be aware, treat it cautiously.

Sub-par. Broke within months.
I do mostly on location photography and travel a lot. Within a couple of trip this piece was falling apart (literally). The little bolt on the side of the hot shoe holder snaped off. The metal lead to keep one of the pieces on track became lose and before a headshot photoshoot just fell off.
The material is quite weak and bends even with a 16"x22"x13" softbox.
If you do get this make sure you take extra good care of it. Put it in a safety box if you travel.

Works as advertised
Purchased to use a Photoflex X-small lite dome with off camera applications. Works well with this application.

good but expensive
I liked the idea of using my camera Flash 580II with a soft box. I've even attached it to a 24"x24" softbox and worked well, I prefer if its a little bit thicker. Also over priced.
