 Not as advertised June 7, 2010
Steven Janes (Germany)
This product was advertised as a genuine Stroboframe product from Tiffen. The one sent by Adorama was a no-name knock off.
It does the job (let's face it, this is not a complex product), but it was not the product advertised.
After two attempts adorama refunded the money, but the whole purchase left a very bad taste in the mouth.
 Simply works May 2, 2010
Cliff Alligood Jr. (New Jersey)
I'm using this with Nikon SB-900 and SB-800. It keeps the contacts from shorting and holds the strobe securely at any angle. The thumbscrew could be a little larger for my taste, but that's not enough of a problem to warrant taking a star.
Good Quality, Great Accessory April 28, 2010

I've used two of these with Manfrotto 026 umbrella adapters for over a year. Easy to use, good quality, and cheap. Pick one up and you'll be satisfied.
 The Stroboframe is great - but this is NOT the same product April 27, 2010

The 5-star reviews for the Stroboframe cold shoe are definitely accurate; that's a great cold shoe and you can feel confident putting any flash on it basically.
THe problem is that this is NOT the SAME PRODUCT! This is a product being sold by Adorama Camera as Stroboframe but it is actually a Flashpoint (different brand - makes cheap knock-offs of lots of photography equipment). That's why the price is so low - because it's not the Stroboframe.
I purchased one and discovered this apparent false advertising scheme when I received a Flashpoint cold shoe. I immediately contacted Adorama and requested a refund and paid return shipping as well as the correct product. It seems they will be issuing me a refund while "graciously" allowing me to keep the product ("graciously" in quotations because to pay for return shipping would cost them the same amount as I paid for the product, plus the re-stocking effort - so they're really just doing themselves a favor by "giving it to me"). What they should do is give me the Stroboframe cold shoe, which is what I purchased and what I need. But Adorama is not very good with customer service. As they adapt themselves more and more for the consumer market (as opposed to the pro market, like B&H PHoto), they try to pull these types of schemes on unsuspecting consumers who "probably don't know any better".
In any case, buy it for $6 if you choose to do so; just be aware you will receive a cheap knock-off, not the mighty, original Stroboframe cold shoe!
Sturdy and effective April 26, 2010
Damodar Chetty (Minnesota, US [www.swengsol.com])
Its hard to wax poetic about a shoe mount, but it does its work well, and eliminates the risk of shorting your strobe's electrical contacts. When the red screw is tightened down, it also takes a strong grip on the strobe. My strobe is usually mounted on a PocketWizard Flex which in turn is mounted on this shoe.
Note that I use this adapter in conjunction with a Manfrotto 5001B 74-Inch Nano Stand, a Manfrotto 026 Swivel Lite-Tite Umbrella Adapter, and a Westcott 43" Optical White Satin Collapsible Umbrella. This combination works exceedingly well for my purposes.
Happy Strobing!
