Shoot through umbrella softbox


I recently purchased a small shoot through umbrella softbox. I love the light it produces, but you can’t tip it to shoot down on the subject from above. It set’s too close to the light stand (photo-01). If you try to tip it down it’s hits the light stand. I user two Phottix umbrella mounts to form two adjustable “L” brackets (photo-02). The brackets are connected with a short piece of half inch hard copper tubing (photo-03). By adjusting the “L” attached to the light stand you can make the umbrella softbox point up. By adjusting the “L” attached to the speed light you can make the umbrella softbox point down.
