An added twist

An excellent product and you can't beat the price. Great for adding that extra little twist to get your OFC into the right position. Well made and comes with baby pins, 2 sets, to connect to your stands.

Sturdy build

This is a very nice sturdy unit with large handles. The biggest handle can be adjusted after tightened to be in a better position in relation to stand & umbrella. I'm using this with a speedlight.

This is the umbrella adapter you want

Don't play around- just get this! This umbrella adapter is solid and made with high quality parts. It will last you for years and years. It functions well and smoothly without the weird clicking of some umbrella adapters as they go through its range. The only thing I've had wear out on these is the screw part on the brass adapter portion, but this was after a decade of use, and it's easily and cheaply replaced. It is also a standard size, so you can use it on future lights.

Used item not quite as described....but issue resolved quickly.

Used item wasn't quite as advertised. It was missing 2 brass pieces . But Adorama resolved the issue quickly once I brought it to their attention.

Now, this is quality!

This is what I've been looking for. I have an inexpensive adapter and it just didn't work too well. The Manfrotto is sturdy.

Good Medium Weight Bracket

Good Solid construction, perfect for holding the combination of medium to large umbrellas and larger speed-lights.

Stays put even with heavy flash

This is a little heavier than the generic "hard plastic" swivel adapters but it is so much better. The "hard plastic" adapter didn't stay in position with a heavy flash on it but the Manfrotto swivel adaptor stays put. It's also helpful to be able to position the side handle out of the way after you've tightened everything up. Definitely will buy more of these.

Solid and reliable

Among several umbrella adaptor brackets that I have, this one really stands out as well-made, strong. Its expensive, but worth it.

Does what it's meant to do...

There really isn't any Cons and it works great at being a swivel with an umbrella adaptor. If you need one, get this one.

Versatile and rugged

This thing has like a million and one uses and it's sturdy as all get out. Don't waste your money on plastic knock offs if you have manfrotto stands and riggings.

excellent umbrella adaptor

All metal construction, large knobs / handles for positive clamping. I use them with speedlights, but they would hold larger lights easily.

As expected of manfrotto!

I use this product with my manfrotto lightstand 1052BAC and my lastolite 24" speedlite softbox. It holds my set up pretty well and comes with the highest build quality. Highly recommended. All manfrotto products are superb.

AWESOME!!

I use this product for my commercial photography business. They get tons of use almost every day. I love that it is all metal construction and very sturdy. I have had the plastic ones before but they always seemed to break when I needed them most. so I bought these and have been way more than satisfied. I have 4 of these now and have had them for 4-5 years and I just bought 2 more for two more lights. I dont think I'll ever need to buy another one because it was broken... and thats what I need in my business.

Just what I needed now and future needs

I needed something to be able to mount at various angles my Photofles extra small Octodome nxt to a lightstand. This swivel umbrella adapter does the job and has the versatility to be used for many other similar purposes. It is well made and should be very durable.

FEATURED REVIEWS

Essential, rugged, no brainer

By Brandon

Any photographer with off camera flash in their bag of tricks has (or should have) several of these. Mounts to most light stands, Bogen Magic arms, super clamps, etc to hold your flash (speedlight) and securely mount an umbrella. Angle adjustments allow for extreme versatility to get your light where you need it.

Awesome Umbrella Adapter

By d P.

This adapter is a GAZILLION times better than the Photoflex umbrella adapter. I'm finding that there is no substitute for Bogen/Manfrotto equipment. Pay a little bit more upfront and never worry about it again. I like the way the flash mounts solidly in this unit...I found that the Stroboframe cold shoe is a good compliment to go with this item.
