Wall Mount Your Lights With Neewer Light & Mic Brackets

I've been looking for a way to get rid of all the light and mic stands and get back some floor space. I bought these light brackets and they work great! I'll be doing the same for a ceiling mounted microphone (my 4th one on order), and maybe even use one to mount my camera. More in the description. ▼

[@RobertJohnson-dp3ey]

You said you decided to get some really small brackets and then said they were not so small. I expected to have you suggest smaller ones, but you went with what you purchased.

[@iSpike]

LOVE ❤️ These so much I bought one ☝🏻 & maybe now I have your affiliate link I will buy more 👍🏻 Love you man ✌🏻

[@BasicFilmmaker]

❤️

[@LivingSpiritism]

Great video! I'm just starting to set up a space for a film studio, where I can just go in and start filming without setting up and breaking down all my gear every single time... I just got some brackets so I could hang my backdrops directly off the wall, and I was thinking about doing the same thing with the lights and overhead mic. It was really cool seeing you go through the whole process in time-lapse.

[@BasicFilmmaker]

Thanks Film Runner. These brackets are surprisingly BIG.

[@BillHibbler]

Thanks for shooting this video. I'm seeing it three years after you shot it but the brackets are still available and perfect for my studio where floor space is at a premium.

[@BasicFilmmaker]

Thanks Bill. Still have and use them, and love the floor space. Highly suggest you make darn sure where you want the light on stands first. Once nailed, lose the stands, gain some floor space, and be happy. :)

[@StyleByZaza]

I cannot stand my lights! Tripods take wayyyyy too much space and I always trip over them! I've been thinking about installing a studio ceiling track system and as you already know, they're not cheap!! I think these wall brackets are exactly what I need! Thank you so much for doing this review! I don't know what I would do without you! ;)

[@BasicFilmmaker]

Hey Zaza! Cool. Yeah, I really hate the stand thing, so this fit the bill for me, and I like that they are moveable and retractable. I can always unmount the lights and take them with the stands, but I'm not planning on moving my in home studio any time soon.

[@TheGuitarNerdShow]

I’m really glad I found this video! I’ve been looking at these arms for a while now but thought they were too large for my space. It never occurred to me to mount them with the bases going horizontally instead of vertical. Your space looks very similar to mine, right down to the sloped ceiling and the alcove! So I think these are going to work out after all. Thank you for the great video!

[@BasicFilmmaker]

You bet! I like these a lot, and LOVE no light stands all over the place, and ability to adjust these. I still have an extra one I am thinking of using to mount the overhead mic or camera on from the ceiling.

[@TheGuitarNerdShow]

I hear ya! My 'studio' is also my bedroom and my recording studio so floor space is at a premium! I'm not really all that handy so I have a couple questions regarding mounting these that I hope you'll be willing to answer. First, other than your installation every other photo I see of these shows them mounted with the base vertically as opposed to how yours are (horizontally). Do you feel the mounting loses any strength in this direction? When you installed it looks like you're using a stud finder (that part of the video moves pretty fast LOL). Were you able to screw into studs for all four mounting holes? If not, what kind of screws did you use? Did you use wall anchors/zip toggles? Thank you in advance and, once again, for this video. I received the brackets this evening and look forward to having them up and getting to some video work!

[@BasicFilmmaker]

1. It loses SOME strength, but I have VERY heavy Aputure Tri-8's mounted to them, so it should be OK. 2. It comes with these silly anchors for concrete. Stupid. I used 2 of the holes into stud, and the other two with drywall anchors, and they are super. 3.) You probably have them up by now, so how are they working for you?

[@TheGuitarNerdShow]

For some reason I simply cannot tighten the bolts enough, so if I have the arm extended and swing it out, the weight from the light (a 20"x20" softbox) pulls the base fixture down. Tried sockets, wrenches, to no avail. I currently have two of these mounts - for one of them I have no need to swing the arm out (I bounce that light off of the wall to which it's attached for a soft fill). For the one I was having the issue with I simply re-mounted it so the base is now vertical. It also gives me the option of different heights, so if I want to film myself standing, having it mounted this way gives me more flexibility. Although I've had my channel for several years I'm only now starting to get serious with it. Been studying the basics now for a couple months, bought some lights, camera, etc. I'm leaving later this week for a 10 day gig out of the country (Aruba - 2 gigs, the rest downtime - once in a while being a musician pays off LOL). When I return I plan to begin in ernest with some new content. Looking forward to putting all I'm learning into practice! Thanks for your videos and for your help!

[@TheGuitarNerdShow]

By the way - I too have two of the screws into stud. The other two I used zip toggle anchors - a breeze to install and, apparently, very strong.

@@BasicFilmmaker Awesome, glad to know they are quality. I like that they can fold down so much, I want to hang one from the ceiling to make a drop camera, then be able to get it out of the way for a live stream. Thank you again! Great content!

[@Highcastle_of_Tone]

Great overview, and it was nice to see you installing them in your studio. For a fixed studio location, these look invaluable. I wish I had bought them back when you posted this review, they're nearly double the price now, but I'm still thinking I'll get a few of these.

[@BasicFilmmaker]

Double the price? Eyahh! They are great but I wonder why the price increase.

[@nightstringers]

love the video. love this idea it"s about time someone makes these , helps keep the studio clean and less light stands to trip over

[@abelgonzalez75]

Hi, I watched your video and I really liked the info you shared about the Wall Mount for ring lights, thank you so much for sharing it!!! I have a question, you put a note on the video that said that the expansion screws are for mounting to concrete only . What type or size of drywall screws did you use to hang your wall mounting arm?

[@BasicFilmmaker]

1/4 " into stud.

[@real1997]

This is a funny video. Like the sneaky use of the stud finder. Well done mate. I’m about to purchase a couple of these things. Regards from Oz.

[@BasicFilmmaker]

Awesome. Make SURE you have your lights now where you want them first. You can spend days or weeks until you get them correct. THEN perma moun them.

[@real1997]

Kevin - The Basic Filmmaker thx Kev. Yes I’ve been using green screen continuously for several months now, in my garage. The lighting setup works perfectly except that it’s a pain when I want to put the wife’s car away each night, which means packing up the stands etc. My idea is to wall mount these stands so I can swing the video lights away more quickly etc. Thx again mate.

[@BasicFilmmaker]

You bet. I LOVE not having lights stands or nearly anything on my floor.

[@gutierreznetwork]

Jesus Christ!!! Men you're such a big help I'm so getting this and using you link thank so much.

[@pradipkotecha4058]

Its great to see a solution to the annoying space taking light stands....is there a video clip that shows how versatile the studio has become that also shows how flexible the lights are now and all the different angles that it can move into...up/down...sideways and forward etc... As I ma thinking of buying two to fit my Bowens 400's. Thank you for sharing your thoughts. Appreciate it.

[@BasicFilmmaker]

You bet. I haven't really done a video like that, however, they move horizontally almost 180 degrees (from wall left to wall right) and up and down about 150 degrees (guessing) so they've got quite bit of throw. Also, they are surprisingly large and it's a good idea to SECURELY fix them to the wall - small drywall mounts are not a great idea.

[@pradipkotecha4058]

Thank you so much for your prompt reply....for me its about the photography side of things at the moment with just a small bedroom studio set up as my son has moved out and I just love to take family and individual portraits. But who knows after watching your clip I may make videos of my family as fun. Once thank you for your help & support. Have a great day.....and like Laiqul says it was funny to see you lay flat on the table at end....its nice to giggle...life is to short.

So dope 💯 thank you, I just bought two for my shop they are amazing

[@BasicFilmmaker]

Great. I still use them after all these years.

[@Studanthonyy]

Love the video, but can I use this with a ring light ¿

[@BasicFilmmaker]

Anthony Perez You can use these with any light, camera, etc. They are big and heavy, which makes them great, but my be a bit overkill for a small ring light.

[@DutchUltra]

epic video, well done. oh and don't forget to stay hydrated LOL

[@BasicFilmmaker]

Thank you. Drinking water now. 👍

[@NathanVeer]

I noticed you installed one of them horizontally...I'm curious if over time this causes the lights on that stand to slowly drop or is the friction in the swivel joint simply tight enough?

[@BasicFilmmaker]

I've had no problem with that. These things have held up over 4 years now and I've mounted some pretty heavy lights (Tri-8s) to these. As long as they are securely mounted to the wall it's all good.

[@GeekssTV]

@@BasicFilmmaker i have The same question about the one installed horizontally, if it gets down or the nut are enough to hold the lights in that position ? I al ready bought one and im thinking to install them same as you do, thanks !

[@ConFusion]

And the most important question, how many kg does this support?

[@BasicFilmmaker]

It holds quite a bit. If you’re going to mount something very heavy on it you need to make sure is mounted to something secure like the studs and not just use the drywall anchors. I had an aperture try eight, fairy have a light, monitor these and it held with no problem.

[@manasavavilapalli]

This is very helpful. Thank you!

[@BasicFilmmaker]

Thanks!!

[@miguelesteban8775]

How long are the wall screws? What size and length of the drill bit to use?

[@BasicFilmmaker]

As stated, it comes with concrtre wall mounts, or did. The size of bolts you need and length are dependent on your installation.

Excellent insight. Thanks.

[@BasicFilmmaker]

Very welcome!!

[@NeziNappsakaNezi]

I hope you like them!

[@BasicFilmmaker]

They are great!

[@RobertShaverOfAustin]

I saw that you mounted one of the light brackets sideways, (4:42+ in the video). Looking at the Amazon photos of the bracket, I see that there are two bolts that look hard to reach with tools to reposition that light vertically. Did you have to get them really snug to keep the light in the position you wanted?

[@BasicFilmmaker]

It worked just fine for me. The bolts on the bracket that move the arm up and down in that mounting position I did tighten up snugly, and it works great!

[@Ayram9]

Really helpful, thanks! Question: I don’t have room for a desk in my sad little closet recording space so I’d like to use a boom arm to gain more floor space (no pun intended)! 😆 It seems most adjustable mic boom arms clamp to a desk. Are these wall mounting boom arms as adjustable as the other kind (swiveling, rotating on a ball etc)? Or would it work WITH one of those other desk mount kinds? I’m guessing not re. the latter. It’s an old house with pretty tall ceilings though I could probably mount it high up on the wall if need be. Thanks!

[@BasicFilmmaker]

There are smaller wall mountable boom rugs that podcasters use with wall mounts that are perfect. I’m traveling back from NAB Show right now but will get you a link when I get back in a couple days.

[@greatergoods4318]

I tried these, but my neewer softbox lights won't get tight on this pin. they just end up pointing at the ground. I have been contacting neewer but they have been no help.

[@BasicFilmmaker]

Keep trying to reply to this and the comment get deleted.

[@AlexPacheco2103]

Great video! Only one question: what is the minimun size of this? I'm in vacation in USA and i'm planning to bring one of this to home.... It fits into a regular luggage?

[@BasicFilmmaker]

They weigh in at almost 6 pounds each. I am GUESSING to say they're about 3 foot long when folded up? I can't measure them for you as they are mounted on my walls and in use.

[@teutonicpictures]

I've been recently considering purchasing one of these products to support a softbox over a needed position in my studio setup. I was wondering, does this product support only a certain type of product to connect with or is this universal with most? Thank you.

[@BasicFilmmaker]

It’s got those regular light stand pins. So the pin comes out, can be placed on top or sides, and there’s a 1/4 and 3/8 on each side of the pin.

[@brandypagemua]

Can you use these brackets with a ring light?

[@BasicFilmmaker]

+Brandy Page I would imagine so. They use the standard pin type light mounting. They a BIG so might be a bit overkill.

[@Tx3rd_Ross]

@@BasicFilmmaker thxs but I used some dry wall anchors earlier

[@BasicFilmmaker]

Cool. I needed a stud as I am hanging super heavy lights on these.

[@Pikmeir]

Did you mount these to studs, or just to the drywall? I was thinking of getting these but hadn't figured out whether I needed to mount them to studs to be sturdy.

[@BasicFilmmaker]

My lights and the stands are heavy. There are four mounting holes, so I made sure two of them went into a stud, and the other two I just used drywall anchors. Been working fine. The come with anchors to mount into concrete (???) I was confused, but made it work.

[@NicholasPaulFranks]

Hi Kevin, thanks for your video. How did you connect the light to the 1/4" male? I have a Neewer LED panel that I want to attach to something other than the standard stand. Many thanks

[@BasicFilmmaker]

1/4” mounting? You’ll need to get adapters that screw over the pins you have, or new baby pins that.are 1/4”. They are very cheap. Here’s some Neewer baby pins that should work for you: amzn.to/2QwYJEA

[@NicholasPaulFranks]

@@BasicFilmmaker thanks for the quick response, Kevin. Much appreciated. I realise this might not be possible but I’m trying to find a way of attaching this light/box to a 1/4” male kzbin.info/www/bejne/lWLdqH6Zit5pec0

[@itsmejong]

Thank you so much. Did you use anchor when you install this on the wall?

[@BasicFilmmaker]

The supplied mounting didn't work for me, so I used some stiff metal wall anchors.

[@miablack]

Hi any idea which fitting we need to put a Microphone on there ? It’s a condenser with a shock mount

[@BasicFilmmaker]

I should come with a baby pin on the end, and I think it’s reversible with a 3/8 and 1/4 inch on each end of the pin. If not, a simple adapter will work. If the shock mount is 5/8 inch then you’ll need to get an adapter for that.
