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 ??

Easy adjustment (no thumb screws), universal fit for the cold shoe, and solid construction.

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.

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!!!!!!

Favorite umbrella bracket holder for speedlights. It locks into place.. most don't do that. It has that extra little carabiner on it. Super handy. Built very well.

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 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.

Build quality is good. Sturdy construction. Locking screws seem lightweight, would like to see heavier stud.

this is my first flash shoe umbrella holder and seems I made the right choice. pretty solid construction. only thing that would make it better is if the screw knobs weren't plastic.
