The Phottix US-A2 Umbrella Swivel is compact and lightweight compared to the umbrella swivel I already had. The ball head makes it easily adjustable in any direction. I also like the design of the cold shoe. About every other umbrella swivel I've seen or used for attaching a camera flash to a light stand has a shoe that is open on both sides. This shoe is open on only one side, which gives more security to your flash. So far, I've only used this once, and that was to light a background directly behind my subject, so I didn't use an umbrella. But the ball head seems to lock well, so I don't anticipate having a problem attaching an umbrella. I would recommend this accessory to others.

The Phottix US-A2 Umbrella Swivel is an affordable umbrella swivel for off-camera-flash. Made from tough and durable quality aluminum alloy and fireproof PA66 plastic, the US-A2 is ready for any photographic situation. The ball head design is easy to adjust for fast on-scene lighting changes. With a 8mm locking umbrella mounting hole the US-A2 will accept most standard sized umbrellas.
Included are a locking ring, plastic cold shoe for mounting flashes and 5/8" to cold shoe adapter. The US-A2 3/4" female lug mounts to light stands. Umbrellas are great lighting modifiers. Reflective or Shoot-through, umbrellas help create soft light and other special effects. They are ideal for portrait, interior and product photography.
