Shopper : Is this in stock?
Shopper : Why Did You Choose This?GREG C : Researched many umbrella holder brackets. The Phottix Varos not only has a quality build and reliability, it also has unique features not found on other umbrella holders.Don M : Need sturdier umbrella holders. Cheaper ones (that came from Adorama, btw) weren't cutting it. They were difficult to use and it seemed like no matter how tight I made everything, with the slightest bump, I would end up with a flash unit on the ground.KEVIN S : Tired of the cheap versionsGUILLERMO M S : priceABIODUN S : It permits side mounting of the speedlight, making it possible to get the head of the flash exactly in the center of the umbrella. This makes it easier to fill the umbrella with the flash beam while avoiding light spillage.BRANT L : video productionPaul S : Picked these to support the Phottix 40x90 strip umbrella softboxJOE O : Instead of purchasing another lightstand for on location shoots, I wanted to increase the versatility of my camera tripod by using it as a tertiary light stand. Purchasing this adapter will allow me to mount my speedlite to it, which will allow me to accomplish this goal.TERESA H : I chose it due to its 62 lb load capacity. I wanted to have that extra assurance of the umbrella and light being safely fastened to the light stand.WILLIAM H : It looked to be of good quality and had good reviews.

Sturdy and reliable

Incredibly sturdy, solid metal. I use it with speedlites all the time and never had an accident. My one issue is that the locking ring at the top tends to loosen by itself, but honestly that might be user error ??

Great service from Adorama, best lighting adapter ever.

Photix is the most versatile lighting-to-stand adapter I've ever had. I've used them for years they've never broken. It was really great that Adorama's search-engine was quick to find them.

Super Versatile and durable

I use this bad boy for both attaching my Flashpoint StreakLight 360's or my Canon speed lights when I am on the run. In studio I remove the hot shoe adapter and replace with a double sided stud to affix larger lights like my Alien bees 1600's. Works like a charm. I use a number if different umbrella light shapers with no hesitation. I highly recommend!!!!!!

Mil-spec construction!

This thing is sturdy, sturdy, sturdy, which was exactly what I was looking for. I got tired of popping the nuts off of cheaper versions of this product, and that's never going to happen with this. It's solid, heavy and perfect if you want something that will last.

Very dependable

Very well made and dependable. The only negative I can say I've found is when you tilt it. It has position notches so you don't have to worry about it slipping, but it might not be exactly where you might want it to be. THat's why I gave it 4 stars.
