Damn what a pity! The product looked promising. Good clamping screw on the foot, a metal tab to lock the umbrella without crushing his thin rod with a screw. Of notches stand to guide all with stability and strength and support .... "claw" a disconcerting fragility. The thread that is useful to keep the flash to the hot shoe is simply tapped into the plastic part. tight screw "in moderation", the flash head does not hold. a quarter turn more and all the net is torn. Result, I have two flash media unusable after the second use (the first having been a trial, the flashgun was level and had not needed to be tightened). Assuming it is not a manufacturing defect but a "misuse", no guarantees. I have only to tinker a stronger attachment system ...
