WELLMAKING 2PCS U Shape Tilt Adapter Swivel Mount Umbrella Holder Light Stand with Standard 1/4 to 3/8 inch Metal Male Screw Adapter Spigot Stud for Studio Light Stand, Hotshoe/Coldshoe Adapter

Nice adapter for the price point. Flexible for different equipment. Able to meet all of our needs for the studio

Convenient. Sturdy. Good value. Good hold. Perfect size.

Tough. Easy to use. The value of this item is much higher than the purchase price. I could not be happier.

These U-Shape Tilt Adapters have been a welcome addition to my budget home studio setup. While not constructed of the heaviest materials, they provide reliable functionality for lighter equipment like my LED panels. They offer good flexibility with multiple mounting options and precise angle adjustments that helped me achieve better lighting for my YouTube podcasting projects. For the price point, they deliver solid value, though I wouldn't recommend them for heavier equipment. If you're building a budget-friendly lighting rig, these adapters are worth considering - just be mindful of their weight limitations and you'll be happy.

I much prefer the non-metallic WELLMAKING umbrella light stand holder than all the metal ones I own. The WELLMAKING provides greater mounting flexibility due to the increased depth of the top and bottom adapter ports which allows mounting all types of devices to the light stand that benefit from a swivel. My photo shows both holders with the WELLMAKING on the left. The depth of the two WELLMAKING ports measure 1.5" and 1.3". The metal holder ports measure 1.2" and .75 inches deep. Both adapters shown fit well within the WELLMAKING. The thumbscrew on the metal holder tightens down on the collar of the shorter adapter when placed in the 1.2" port throwing it at an angle along with any equipment mounted on it. It does better in the .75" port but extends above the holder quite a bit.

Sturdy so far, used for my Valve Index lighthouses.

It took me a while to find this item on Amazon because I did not know what it was called. I needed this piece to mount my LCD light panel. The swivel head is what I was really after because I wanted something I could easily adjust up or down; in this case, I wanted to change the direction of my light. If you buy a tripop, you will need this piece if you want to be afte to move either your light source or camera at a different angle (downward or upwarr). The price is also great!!

Must have for rigging
