Not the Best - Especially for Strobists
"This is a solidly built umbrella adapter. A little heavier but much more solid, reliable and better designed than those cheap square plastic ones (Impact 3117, Photoflex AC-BSWCP, etc.). If you need an umbrella adapter with two female studs, such as for using with a studio light, than this, or the Photoflex AC-BALGS (which is less prone to slipping) are your best options.

Best Uses
"This is an extremely well made umbrella adapter. Set it and it stays where you want it with no aggravations. I have other brand adapters that I bought or came with kits. Those adapters never get used because they just don't perform like the Manfrotto. I'd give it 6 stars if I could. "
