GlareOne vertical flash bracket for studio and on-camera lights — Bowens mount

GlareOne vertical flash bracket for studio and on-camera lights with a Bowens mount provides a compact, stable solution for positioning speedlights, compact studio heads and small continuous lights vertically above or beside a camera. Designed to accept light units and modifiers that use the Bowens-type attachment, the bracket allows photographers to keep the light source close to the lens axis or offset it for directional control while maintaining a secure connection to tripods, light stands or camera support arms.

Advantages

The bracket offers a robust metal construction that ensures reliable support for a range of small to medium-sized lighting units. Its vertical orientation helps to reduce shadows and create flattering light for portrait and product work. The Bowens-compatible mount simplifies the use of standard modifiers such as reflectors, softboxes and snoots, while the mounting interface permits quick attachment and detachment of lights. Lightweight and compact, the bracket is suitable for both studio setups and on-location shoots.

Suitable for

• Portrait photography where elevated or slightly offset lighting is required
• Event and reportage situations needing portable, directional flash or continuous light
• Product and still-life photography requiring controlled overhead illumination
• Small studio setups using Bowens-mount modifiers and compact light heads

How to use

Attach the bracket to a tripod head, light stand or camera support using the provided mounting point. Secure the light unit into the Bowens-type front mount and lock it in place following the fixture’s locking mechanism. Adjust the vertical position and tilt of the bracket to direct the beam as needed; confirm all locking knobs are tightened before operating the light. Use compatible Bowens-type modifiers by sliding them onto the front mount until they engage securely.

Usage recommendations

For stable results, use the bracket with lights and modifiers that fall within the weight capacity of the stand or tripod. When shooting portraits or products, position the light slightly above eye level to produce natural catchlights and reduce harsh shadows. Check compatibility of modifiers with Bowens-style fittings before use and ensure all locks are engaged to prevent unintended movement during a session.
