Advantages

This holder offers a straightforward mechanical interface that secures both the lamp and umbrella shaft, reducing wobble and misalignment during shoots. Its compact design makes it easy to position on standard stands and boom arms, and it provides reliable compatibility with commonly used umbrella shafts and bracket fittings. The accessory simplifies setup and teardown, helping maintain consistent light placement across sessions.

How to use

Mount the holder onto a compatible light stand or boom arm and secure it according to the support’s fastening method. Insert the umbrella shaft into the holder and tighten any locking mechanism to prevent movement. Attach the studio lamp to the lamp-mounting point and ensure both elements are aligned for the intended light direction.
