Shoe Mount Multiclampx$16.95
  (25 reviews)
Best Price: $27.95 $16.95
Shoe Mount Multiclamp allows you to attach your on-camera flash to a lightstand and add an umbrella or softbox. The Multiclamp makes it possible to raise and tilt your light - something that is not possible when your flash is mounted directly to a lightstand. Your flash can also be mounted horizontally or vertically and, by using three clamps, two flashes can be mounted together for more lighting power. Moving your flash away from your camera and adding an umbrella or softbox will give you even, diffused light that is flattering to your subjects.

Use this to build your first studio lighting kit.
By A3RQNTP90VQP9D on 2006-12-26
You can use this clamp to attach your flash to your tripod, or light stand, and use an umbrella. You can angle the flash however you like. The brass fittings have 3/4 and 3/8 threaded nuts. Very easy to use. Add an umbrella reflector and light stand (or use a spare tripod) and get started with studio lighting. Excellent way to capitalize on versatile equipment, like flashes, you probably already have.
A HANDY MULTI-USE PIECE OF HARDWARE
By A3VWOW5NLZHMUJ on 2007-01-05
All of the Photoflex items are well-made and intelligently designed. This clamp is designed to mount a flash unit and an umbrella to a light stand. The brass adapters that come with this clamp can be used for a variety of purposes. Not only will this clamp fit any flash equipment stand, but it will also fit a microphone stand. I use it with the heavy-base type microphone stand. These have a 12" footprint. The boom on the stand lets me balance the array in the corner of a room with a softbox or umbrella mounted. A couple of these in a room with a transmitter on the camera lets me cover a social event from anywhere in the room. You need this gizmo!
Works good, does what its supposed to.

Great product, does what its designed to do. I use it with a heavier/larger vivitar flash, wireless trigger combo, and umbrella, and everything works great together when attached to a backlight stand.
The one little flaw is the screw that holds the flash in place could be a little more heavy duty. It seems that if I were to put to much force into tightening it, it would strip the threads pretty easily. My flashs have a lock switch on them anyways, so I don't use the screw on the clamp that often, but thought it would be a good idea to mention it.
Photoflex-Shoe Mount Multiclamp
By A1RJ49DLWCHNH2 on 2007-05-12
This is an excellent addition to your professional photography equipment to mount different types of lights to your existing light stands. We use them alot to mount our Nikon SB800 wireless flash units to our light stands to create a wireless setup for on-location shooting. The multiclamp has a place for an umbrella if you desire to use one.

Ideal for off camera flash photography with light modifiers. This is a strobist essential.
Though this model is a bit heavy.

Not bad for the price. A bit on the cheap side. Doesn't fit too firm on the lightstand and doesn't hold the strobe too well. IT's not a perfect fit. I was suggested to put an electric tape in between the strobe and the photoflex.
For now, I bought another one for the cheap price.

Well made. Gives you the option to position your strobe and umbrella exactly where you need them. Good fit and smooth action. A great improvement over the ball/clamp fitting I was previously using.

By A1ZRB1CA5ILJ83 on 2007-01-09
The clamp is just what I expected. Built solid and does exactly what I want it to do.
Ordering it through Amazon was as easy as it can get and the service was fast.
- Photoflex Shoe Mount Multiclamp with Umbrella Hold
By A1V8V9W9DNJKY9 on 2007-02-12
this product worked pretty well- if it weren't for the cheesy shoe mount it
would have probably rated a 5.
- GREAT!
By A15MTP0B7O91KQ on 2007-05-14
This is a great item! I've set up many photo shoots with umbrellas using my multiclamp.
- must have if you own off camera flash!
By A10Z3FTSP8X91M on 2007-06-07
if you have a hotshoe flash you gotta own this or you suck! this is the tool you need to put your portable flash on a lightstand with an umbrella or softbox or bare and use just like an expensive studio flash! Sturdy build... great product!

By A3VWJ9MCVXBCEK on 2007-09-29
This is a great product, good quality, works exactly as it should. You won't be disappointed. I use it to mount a slave flash on a light stand and can attach an umbrella to the clamp and it works great.
- must have!
By A29LA15KO056BT on 2008-01-26
I've ordered two of the shoe mount to use with my canon flashes mounted on a stand and umbrella, its a great item and I think everyone who wants to create a mini studio lights should get it.
- Attach a boom mic to a light stand
By A7EU2BWLLCJY2 on 2008-02-13
I shoot low budget documentary video and my crew usually consists of me and one other so I need to travel lightly and all of my equipment must be able to multi-task. I wanted to be able to utilize any one of my heavy-duty Amvona boom light stands as a boom mic stand with as little jerry-rigging as possible.
The inexpensive Photoflex Shoe Mount Multiclamp has been great so far. I use it to attach a Rode NT-3 hypercardioid mic in a Rode SM-3 shockmount to my boom light stands. The SM-3 has a shoe-mount so I can use it as a camera mic or use the multiclamp to attach it to an available light stand boom to get the mic closer to a stationary subject. So far it has worked just fine.
I do agree that the mount itself is a little underpowered and I always use a little gaffers tape on the light stand for added grip before I cinch down the multiclamp. And since I have no desire to see my beautiful Rode mic hit a cement floor, I always wrap some tape around the base of the clamp to secure it to the stand as well. I don't think it would let loose, but better safe...
That said, this a great product for the money, and it's one of the only clamps like this out there, but I'd gladly pay ten or even twenty dollars more for one that locked to the stand more securely. Even at twenty dollars more it would be hundreds of dollars less expensive than an additional shockmount and mic boom stand.
- Cheap but does the job
By A1JPPTMXK1YBI0 on 2008-03-19
Good clamp. Does what it is suppose to do. Only thing i don't like is the hotshoe screw. it is flimsy and doesn't feel like it holds the flash in place. It is also hard to tighten and loosen. Otherwise, it's a great bang for the buck.
- Great Clamp!
By AUK4AT2RVU0BC on 2008-03-22
Save yourself some money with these clamps by attaching them to extra camera tripods instead of spending extra on light stands. Great and easy to use clamp. Bought two for my optical slave sunpak 383's and two umbrellas and you cant beat the pics im getting.
- Good enough for my needs.
By A2AAOTWCPRFYYT on 2008-05-16
They're a little plasticky, but they work quite well. I am concerned about long-term use, but if I wanted big heavy duty cycle swivels I should have bought some. These are a good price, and very likable.
Don't know if other reviewers mentioned this: get some tape on the bottom of the shoe mounts. Your flash contacts will short out on them. Photoflex: 1 star gone for you! What were you thinking?
On the up side, they didn't damage my 580ex's. The short simply caused them to fire.
- WOW!
By A15QYHQH80W30L on 2007-07-02
I'm a novice in studio photography and no way will I have an idea how this clamp would work based on the picture alone. This is one hell of a clamp. This is one clamp that is indeed well made, well conceptualized and well thought of. Highly recommended. I decided to get it based on a 5 stars rating on this site so I feel obliged to give my thanks to all of you who contributed in one way or another to helping others decide before buying an item! I give this clamp 6 stars!!! If you are still undecided about this clamp, I suggest to just go ahead and buy it...it's cheap and again very well made. I am very happy! Even with amazon's excellent return policy, this is one item I am sure you will certainly keep!
- Must have!
By A124JRC1KUV0SC on 2008-04-22
Absolutly a must have!! Very easy to use, small and compact, and inexpensive. Combined with some TTL flash units and you'll have a studio set-up that will fit in a very small bag! A+!!
- It works
By AWLGV4G055CXF on 2008-05-22
Its a umbrella clamp, with a shoe mount. It works. There's not much else to say. Sturdy construction, holds the umbrella and flash well no complaints.
