Diy Front Load Washer Stand

Using this bracket as part of a DIY for a long zoom flash extension with a Better Beamer. Mounting the bracket in front of an extension tripod plate puts the flash in front of camera and off angle for bird photography. This is WAY cheaper than custom brackets for this purpose. The bracket is very light so even off tripod use is easy.

I use this stand to mount mic wireless receiver, tube pre-amp, DBX PX, and mixer.Pros: Solid build. Beautiful black finish. All fits perfectly. The included nuts fit so well to the stand. Mixer mount can change angle which is nice to control the mixer during gig. Still have extra space for another mic wireless receiver, and 2 rack mount power surge protectors.Cons: No washer included. Since the nuts without washer will damage the equipment, I have to get the washer from local @ store.

I just received my ION and will be using it this weekend for a wedding shoot. While I haven't had real world experience with it my testing in the studio has all been positive. The ability to throw a lot of light with my strobes vs. trying to bounce a speedlight off a cocktail napkin will open up a new world of possibilities. For some reason I find myself doing a lot of Golf Course weddings and being able to go cordless should be very helpful. The quality of the product is great. It recharged quickly and it doesn't weigh much so moving it around is a piece of cake. The only caution I'll throw out is that the bracket that attaches to your light stand may need some adjustment before you try and mount the battery. The screw that holds that bracket to the stand has a washer that I assume is intended to protect the light stand. There's a screw that holds it (the washer) to the bracket and mine wasn't screwed in fully. When I tightened that bracket to the light stand the screw head put a nice dent and scratch in the stand. Not the end of the world but slightly annoying. Other than that, all good and well worth the investment.

Someone please tell me any other film washer better than this.

I use them to mount DIY ligth on my c-stand (with superclamps). Love the fact that i can use 8 screws to make everything secure.

I'm quite happy with this item. I'm using it for a DIY copy stand. Works well, construction is top-notch.

Using this attached to a 1” pipe for a DIY copy stand. Rock solid, extremely flexible. Never used a clamp like this before but wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this one.

I bought this stand on the recommendation of Alex Campagna in his DIY Spiderlight Softbox blog. I built his DIY softbox and bought this stand to support it. And it does it very well. This is one impressive stand, especially for the money.

I bought this for a DIY subkick mic, just a 10" woofer, which is much heavier then any other mic I have ever used. The boom on this stand holds it in place without tipping over or coming loose. It has been mounted for over a week and it hasn't moved a bit. If you need a short fixed boom stand that doesn't get in the way, this is it.

I used this little guy to secure my VLM to my light stand as a DIY project. This works perfectly and secures tightly to the light stand. It feels extremely sturdy and have not worries of it holding up. Have complete confidence.
