User questions & answers

Question: Unfortunately the top of my light stand is slightly too big, it's 5/8". Does anyone know of any speedlight mounts with a 5/8" opening
Answer: Yes, it just twists off. The cold shoe is threaded onto a standard tripod size 1/4-20 thread. The threads are extremely soft though, and the whole thing is made from a really poor pot metal. I would recomend against too much taking things off and on again.
Question: how big is the umbrella holder hole? Can I put a 46" umbrella on this
Answer: If you mean to ask the max open of the super clamp, the Maximum opening diameter is 2.16".Hope this info be helpful for you.
Question: Is the cold shoe easily removable
Answer: David L. Miller answered correctly. The slots on the arm accepts a 15 inch span. So measure the distance between the bolt holes from front to back on your saw and make sure they are 15" or smaller and you're good. I have used this stand extensively this year. Its well worth the money. Very sturdy.
Question: how wide can the clamps open
Answer: It should there is a lot of adjustment on the clamp bars that bolt to the saw.

User questions & answers

Question: What size is the width of the umbrella at the bottom
Answer: 31 inches
Question: Is it 52 inches in diameter? This sounds big
Answer: Hello! The 52" refers to the arc of the canopy, so the curved part of the canopy, not the diameter. Thanks!
Question: Can men use this or is it just for women? Bizarre
Answer: I bougbt one for my husband and myself to use doing football games. He will use it there, but he prefers a regular umbrella otherwise. The clear is good at games because people can see through them.
Question: What makes this a "women's" umbrella? Is there a pocket for tampons or something
Answer: LOL.. luv this question. I’d like to guess in a nice thought/poor delivery method..(hopefully) a) it’s rounder to cover you when rain is blowing at all angles (no gal wants to walk into work with wet hair or running makeup) b) maybe cause females need to see what’s going on around them (aka: muggers/weirdos ... predators.?.) in a rainy environment (shrug). Only reason this 60+ mom looked up this umbrella, was my (31 yr old) daughter wanted one so she would not look like a drowned hen when she got to work, what with our windy/down pours lately. And how expensive they were. The whole “tampon” thing made me chuckle.. had to respond. The safety part came as a momma bear thing. So.. ladies tuck your tampons in your purse.. gentlemen be wise.. both be safe... seems like a good umbrella that keeps out the rain while allowing you to be aware/watchful of your Surroundings (all tampons aside). PS medical advice from an RN... males please be mindful of where you put that tampon.
