How To Mount Your Speedlight Flash On A Stand

[@GaryfongInc]

Stroboframe, no. The lightsphere was designed specifically to enable you to turn the flash head to vertical with a nice height above the lens, without a bracket. To see the mounting, do a KZbin search for "Gary Fong Lightsphere Collapsible Live Demonstration". I explain it clearly there.

Excellent, super! Thank you Gary. Just what I needed. Clear concise and helpful!

[@markmoorton1086]

Thanks Gary - you've made this so easy for me.

[@teresaj1937]

Thank you for such a simple explanation!!!

[@CallMeJuancho]

dude, incredibly useful video! Thanks a lot!

[@Jimmy_Cavallo]

💥 2:15 it’s a cold shoe not a hot shoe and the industry standard name is a ball head not a rollerball. And the “tripod thing” under the “flash footie” is the 1/4-20 thread mount. I’m a carpenter but I’ve gotcha covered.

[@NECHOLA]

Thanks, Gary!! Everything I needed to find out was in this video.

[@kingrajiv1]

Thanks so much for the video! Can you please let us know the two adapters you used?

[@whatchagonnadowhentheycomeforu]

Gary, Awesome videos! i learn so much from these. I cant find the video for syncing the camera to the flash. I have an old camera, nikon D40. I am buying a a limostudio 900 watt led light kit and a Godox V850III Flash Camera Flash Speedlight for real estate photography, Can u help me? Much appreciated. I am also open to your suggestion on the equipment. Thx

[@GaryfongInc]

Thank you!

[@johnwartjr]

Nice video, Gary. I take a slightly different twist on what you do. I like the Manfrotto 5001B stands real well for the same reason you do - they fold up tiny, but expand to full-size light stands. I like to use a different sort of head, though, the LumoPro LP633 Umbrella Swivel w/ Flash Shoe Adapter. It's nearly as quick to adjust as your ball swivel, but it adds the ability to use an umbrella if you so desire. At under 20 bucks apiece, everyone should have a couple in their kit.

This is very helpful. Just now. Thank you.

[@maameboamaa]

Thank you so much for this!!!

[@GaryfongInc]

You're so welcome!

[@edtsvids626]

Very helpful, thanks!

[@en2373]

Thank you so much Gary!!! I was fumbling my head about why they dont make adaptors and how i can use my normal tripod... I had no idea! this just saved me so much hassle!!

[@pattimonson5912]

Thank you, you rock!!!

[@browill9]

Helped alot. Thank you very much. Look forward the your other vids.

[@michaeldande]

Wat is the name of that ball head I need it

[@GaryfongInc]

I love the Manfrotto stands. In fact, I just uploaded a video showing my remote kit, with those Manfrotto stands and a Joby Rollerball. I really love the Manfrotto. I have different videos for people with limited $

[@mortenandersen6313]

Very usefull tip! - Thank you

[@pjurmaineproductions841]

Anyone have the link to where I can buy this tripod roller ball? Having difficulty finding it.

[@WhirlOmar]

You didn't mention the thread size of the jobi roller head. There are different size threads that attach to the stand. If you don't get the right one it won't attach.

[@MisterM-ow6qk]

Gary I have a question. I purchased the a5100 but it doesn't have a hotshoe. I am wondering if there is some way I can use a light for my camera if I want to do some amateur portraits. I can't say I regret my decision I only wish Sony would have put a hot shoe for my camera. Also the reason I purchased the a5100 is for selfies and videos. I prefer light if possible mounted on my camera for easy quick and go pics thanks. I know it has a flash but i would like to add a soft box mini.

[@naveennani7018]

Does Umbrella Flash Light Stand and Backdrop Stand Kit are same? I mean if i bought Flash Light Stand, will it serve back drop stand purpose.

[@brendaschwartz2131]

I'm confused. I bought a Joby Ballhead but the thread is way too small to mount on my light stand. Am I missing a part?

[@vevolander]

Gary, is stroboframe do anything to improve gary fong collapsible lightsphere?

[@derron444]

is a light stand and tripod the same thing? Can i use my tripod to hold the dslr when i need it to and in other cases use the same tripod to hold my flash instead or would i need a tripod and a light stand separately?

[@KumarNitesh]

Derron Scott they are not the same thing, but this method will work for both

[@graphicartdude]

Why can't I find the roller ball attachment he mentions? Are they called something else? I check on B&H and rollable suitcases show up in the results. Thanks.

[@GaryfongInc]

try mini-ball head or lightstand min-ball....something more specific.

[@Cezram0n3]

Yeah guys (Gary) That;s a nice little gadget I haven't been able to get The only one I found is the Joby Ball Head, for gorilla tripod .Do you remember where did you get that One? Ideal for light stands , specially flashlights

[@DJLanta]

Where can I find the flash footie?

[@ikoy.21]

im watching this on 2019, thanks

[@andrewwoods5077]

I just so happened to have a pivot head with an extra plate. That screwed into the bottom of the flash mount.

[@KumarNitesh]

Thanks a lot for this video

[@TrinaDinnar]

Where is the info for how to add a flash trigger?

[@jameswburke]

Never taken that foot thing out of the case - who knew it had a tripod mount? Problem solved thank you ;-)

[@johnmedia9062]

My Nikon d750 doesn't pick up light in slave mode with neweer 750ii. the picture is dark. What's wrong with that?

[@GaryfongInc]

Not sure, haven't used the Nikon system in quite some time and never with that particular flash unit.

[@ricardrinaldo4791]

Thanks but the thread I have on my light stand is not the same pitch as camera thread. :(

[@BarefootMediaTV]

crap i lost the flash stand a year ago and now i need it back :(

[@Universal_Craftsman]

The "little tripod thing" is called 1/4" UNC. 😃

[@jonfreeze]

Thank you!! My cheap triggers kept sliding out of the cold shoe during shoots. Totally embarrassing.

[@minedgroundhog]

Haha overexposing the hat makes it look 2d! :D

[@TheHornet79]

Shit! You have cool hobbies!

[@Rescue162]

Tripod Roller Ball

[@ziarahman5491]

your cap is blownout and its distracting

[@JohnFinityRealtor]

Gosh the lighting is terrible in your video. And your documenting a flash? "Tripod thingy" ? I stopped watching after that high-tech comment

[@garyclinton7146]

first, bang the flash contact pins on the tripod thread then call the thingy 'the thingy' .... and that is when I stopped watching SMH
