Thank you for purchasing the Impact Standard or Deluxe Umbrella-Mount 
Bracket. These versatile brackets allow you to mount an umbrella and/or a 
portable flash on almost any light stand, tripod, or boom. The bracket can tilt 
180,° allowing you to aim your light in any direction. Tricky or tight positions 
are not a problem as you can mount your flash anywhere from vertical to 
horizontal orientations. Both models include two removable, reversible 
brass stud adapters which will allow you to mount the bracket 
not only to stands with the standard 5/8˝ stud, but also to stands or tripods 
with a 3/8˝ or 1/4˝ screw fitting.

The Standard model features a floating lever for easy adjustments. It locks 
securely with a non-slip geared tooth mechanism. The Deluxe model is a 
sturdy metal bracket and features an adjustable shoe that accepts almost 
every standard shoe-mount flash.

We trust that our umbrella-mount brackets will serve your creative 
inspirations reliably for years to come. Please read these instructions 
carefully on how to set up and use your Impact Umbrella-Mount Bracket.

Caution

For safety, and to protect your equipment, use weighted sand bags to 
stabilize your light stand.

Accessories

All images in this manual are for illustrative purposes only. Your umbrella-mount bracket may differ slightly 
from the one pictured. Light stands, floodlights, umbrellas, and portable flash units are not included 
with this bracket unless it was purchased as part of a kit.

Impact Super Clamp (CC-106R)

This is a great complement to the Impact 
Umbrella-Mount Bracket. Used together, 
the combination allows you to mount a 
portable flash to tubes 1/2˝ to 2-1/8˝ in 
diameter or practically any rigid surface. 
The Super Clamp is a versatile tool for 
which you’ll discover dozens of uses.

Impact Sand Bags & Shot Bags (Full)

Impact Sand Bags and Shot Bags come in 
a variety of shapes and weights, and are 
either black or orange. They are used for 
anchoring the bases of light stands and 
set walls. The saddle-style bags have two 
wings so they can be draped over light 
stand legs. Each side of the bag has a 
hand strap for easy handling and hanging 
on hooks. The outer shell is water 
resistant, heavy-duty cordura nylon.

Impact Sand Bags (Empty)

Impact Sand Bags also come in an empty 
version with a double-zippered closure. 
They can be filled with sand, small rocks, 
or anything heavy, and emptied at the 
end of the shoot. They come in a variety 
of sizes and capacities.
