With the much improved functionality and power of modern speed-lights they have become a highly portable lighting solution. This NEEWER Cold Shoe Flash Bracket Mount with Pistol Handle Grip is in my opinion a fantastic bracket for enabling a speed-light to be mounted onto a standard lighting stand.
To attach to a stand the user simply slackens off the lever at the bottom of the bracket, place it onto a stand and then tighten the retaining lever. A Speedlight or other piece of lighting equipment can then be attached to the cold shoe mount on top of the pistol grip. It is suppled with a 1/4 threaded cold shoe fitting which can be screwed into things like LED panels, Field Monitors and more. These can then be easily mounted onto the bracket.
I have been using this bracket in my photo studio with a flash which I would usually mount on my camera and then triggering it remotely. The bracket also has an aperture which will securely hold an umbrella stem which I personally find extremely useful as it really does provide a lot of creative options when shooting with a flash.
Altering the angle of a flash when using this bracket is very easy. The user simply depresses the trigger and the upper part of the bracket can then be angled as required and once the trigger is released it locks at that angle. The mechanism which makes this possible has small ratchet like ridges across its surface providing many angle selections in small increments.
This bracket is reasonably expensive which in my opinion is reflected by the excellent design and build quality. I am confident that it would be perfectly suitable for use in a busy professional photography studio. Like a good number of other NEEWER products I have previously used this Flash Bracket Mount is in my opinion very useful and certainly built to last.
