I watched this video because there was no way I could fit an umbrella no matter how hard I was pushing in. Eventually, I had to unscrew the piece that holds the clip in, took the clip out, pressed it with pliers so that it becomes much narrower and now the umbrella fits.
Thank you for the detailed explanations (as usual). Saw on the web a few hacks to go around the insertion of the umbrella on the S2 mount. That includes removing the metal clip!!! Have seen a few videos on this channel and your consistence is outstanding. Well done! Cheers
My main studio strobes are Elinchrom, so I use an Elinchrom bracket - soft-boxes/reflectors all work. I do also have some Bowens reflectors, so then the Bowens bracket is used - multi functional. :)
I had a lot of trouble getting shaft through the hole...clip fell out and umbrella fits through...I use a little gaffer tape if umbrella slides a little other wise I do like these brackets..I have four of them...I didnt realize S2 had the Bowens mount! Good to know ...thank you.
We've seen a few of these springs become damaged when an umbrella is inserted from the wrong direction. The Bowens mount indicates the front, but unless you're actually using a Bowens accessory, nothing stops you from facing the flash the other way. Not saying that's necessarily what happened here, but it's something that has come up for us a few times! The umbrella locking spring is also very tight when the bracket is brand new. If you need a replacement umbrella mounting section, we can probably get that part for you.
Well, I got the S2 since I wanted to use a couple of TT685 or a 685 plus an older Powerextra speedlight but alas they will not fit together in the S2. I'm going to use my V1 and/or the TT685 whichever I choose with the S2...very versatile and strong bracket
Okay, stiff? Man, getting a new Godux umbrella into a new Godox S2 bracket is quite an operation. But the UBW85 umbrella and S2 bracket are better quality than I would have ever expected.
@@Strobepro - :) I had to take a pair of scissors to work the spring a bit before I could even get the umbrella to go in. But not complaining now that I understand what is going on.
I see the video only shows these small flashes if two of them are used, but what if you have one small TT350 only? bracket description says it’ll work with the Godox TT350 but doesn’t by a hair, at least not mine, it can’t be tighten enough so it doesn’t fall.
The umbrella mount is designed for an 8mm shaft diameter, with 7mm or 8mm being the common sizes. If your umbrella won't fit in the umbrella slot, I wonder if the metal springy bit on the inside was damaged. If that was the case, you might be able to encourage things back into place with some thin needle-nose pliers. Also, as a general tip, be careful when inserting an umbrella since there is a front. Umbrellas should be inserted from the same side the Bowens mount is facing. This is not necessarily obvious since a speedlite can easily be pointed out ether way.

Thank you for the video. I was having a hard time trying to insert the umbrella.

Thank you very much for explaining everything thoroughly!

Fantastic trick on how to use two speedlights at once!
Thanks! 😃
@@Strobepro can you mount 2 Zoom Manual speedlights the Flashpoint version. The 2 speedlights in the video looks like the Minis.
Thank you

Where would I be without your reviews? I just got this. I will use the TRIOPO 90 cm softbox.
Thank you for the video. I'll definitely be picking up the S2 Bracket.

The spring is a little tight at first. We think this is done on purpose since any spring will weaken over time.

Thanks for reviewing this. What 'white' umbrella are you using in the demo? What is shaft diameter for the bracket? Thanks
Right. My limo studio umbrellas almost fit in the umbrella holder, but the diameter of the metal shaft is too big to fit...
THANK YOU SIR.

I don’t know why i cant move it up and down ?? I just bought it
Is nit possible to use it with new Godox Lux Master?
Does it work with Andoer-tri-color?
Do you have any recommendation bracket for AD-S60 (or any AD type) softbox?
I have a large umbrella and it doesn’t fit in this. Any suggestions?

Good👍
Wondering if it is large enough to mount or hold two AD200? 😊
Hi Max,
Unfortunately not. The AD-B2 double bracket is your best bet.
@@Strobepro thank you :)
Can I put 2 speedlights in there?
You can put a Godox TT350 or V350 back to back vertical but larger flashes will not fit two.
