This is the most significant update tot he s type bracket. I know for my other models I have lost all the insets so they are all now the same size. Adding the hing really increases the functionality of the bracket. All in all it’s a worthwhile upgrade.
PROS
-holds both my rectangular and round head speedlights securely (I love how easy it is to swap between round and rectangular heads, very clever design)
-versatile, it’s good that I can mate my speedlights and s-mount modifiers so easily
-can mount to a lighting stand both vertically and horizontally
-solid and durable plastic
-at 40.99 and a 20% voucher at the time of this review, it offers pretty good value.
CONS
-locking mechanism for my bowens-mount modifiers is a little wiggly (it would inspire more confidence if this slid along its track more solidly)
-a little bulky, I have a similar product from another manufacturer isn’t as heavy or bulky (e.g. top knob that tightens down on a speed light: that could have been a much shorter cloverleaf shaped knob, saving space, and offering a better grip).
-I prefer my umbrellas to be held with more than just a friction mount, a little tightening bolt would be better there.
NOTES
-I think this is a great piece of versatile kit that is solid, and well made. I’m glad I got it.
MY STAR RATINGS:
1* substandard, mostly cons

great quality as always from neewer, recommend
This is a very versatile mounting plate for attaching lights to a lighting rig, such as an umbrella or soft box via the standard Bowens mount. I used it to fix a high wattage LED cob light onto an umbrella, but it could be used for many other things, with the swing out type extra brackets. It is extremely well-made of aluminium and feels very solid and durable to me.
This bracket holds my speedlights (one at a time) and works just like my Godox version, except that the removable parts at the bottom of the ring swing out. That means you don’t have to keep track of them and won’t lose them, so that’s cool.
Now I can use my Bowens modifiers with one more speedlight, so it can join in on the fun with my studio flashes!
I do kinda wish the post were longer, so it’d be easy to handhold. It’s too short for that if you have any weight on it. But when I want to use a bracket setup handheld, I end up using a monopod with a spigot adapter on top, so that works okay if you’re not just using a light stand.
I have a little concern about how hardy the plastic pieces are if you’re going to throw it around, but I’m not really concerned for studio use. Fortunately, these aren’t pricey if there’s an issue.
From the fine Neewer range, comes another excellent accessory. This is a mount for a Bowens flash head, made out of high quality alloy and engineered with fine tolerances. A top quality product, highly recommended.
This S type bracket holder offers stability, precision, and flexibility when positioning your speedlite.
Its design allows for the attachment of various studio light modifiers and accessories via the Bowens mount, enabling you to customize and improve the quality of light for your photography needs.
Featuring two movable mounting plates controlled by a top locking knob, this holder accommodates different types of speedlites, including both square and round head flashes. This flexibility allows for horizontal or vertical mounting, catering to diverse shooting angles or setups.
One of its standout features is the stepless tilt and secure mount. This functionality permits smooth and continuous tilting adjustments, ensuring you can precisely direct and control the angle of the light. Additionally, the secure mount feature provides stability, preventing sudden shifts or movements during use.
Overall, the S bracket holder is a great addition to a photographer’s toolkit.
This is typical of Neewer quality. It’s well made and feels like a solid product.
It’s easy to use and everything clamps in securely. I have Godox V860ii flashes and they fit snugly.
The type of diffuser/reflector etc. that you use on the front will control the light, obviously, but even a fairly generous sized one is held securely. I have a 36″ octabox that fits on securely. Recommended and well worth 5 stars.
It’s well made and really is robust for square and round head flashes. It’s lightweight and portable, easy to carry, not saying in pockets, but could be easily put inside a bag.
High quality and the material is amazing, I can feel the weight and quality, not heavy but high quality. 180 front and back adjustment is done with the enlarged metal handle, precisely at desired angles.
It’s versatile, to say compatible with with Godox V1 V860II V860III TT685II TT600 TT350 AD200 Pro NEEWER Z2 Z1 Z760 NW760 NW700 NW620 NW600 NW635II NW645II NW420 TT560 Q3 Q200, etc.
I recommend it.
