Selected User Reviews For Fotoconic E-Type Wall Ceiling Mount 5/8" Stud with 1/4" Thread Anchor for Studio Lighting
This is a decent wall mount; I used it in my studio to hang four softboxes. They work well and securely hold the soft boxes, as well as freeing up space in the room by removing the light stands. So I gave it a five-star rating because it brightened up my room and made it look more professional.
It's exactly what you'd expect. Mount for a flash or other camera equipment made of strong steel. br>br>There are two points to remember:
- This is right up against the wall - It's possible that a medium-sized strobe or something similar won't fit. br>- Walls that are small If you're going to put any weight on it, you'll almost certainly need to attach it to a beam directly. Sheetrock wall anchors aren't strong enough for anything other than a small flash or umbrella.
I use full-spectrum lighting for my photography. In my art studio, I use spectrum bulbs to allow me to paint at night. I installed these in order to eliminate the stands and mount them higher than the stands would allow. I'm still able to easily turn the lights on and off. They are essential for a clumsy person in a confined space. It's also very simple to set up.
However, it is a well-made piece of hardware. It's ideal for mounting studio lighting in a variety of locations. However. They're a little on the expensive side. So I went out and bought the parts one at a time and made four more for the same price.
I have three of these hanging around my studio in various locations. It is unquestionably useful. There's a chance I'll put in a few more. My lights are pack head style, so they're nice and light and compact, and some of them are simply attached with drywall anchors. One of them is screwed into a wall stud.
The bracket itself is well-made and durable. I'd like the stud to be a little taller; it feels a little stubby, and I'd like the bracket against the wall to be a little longer, with holes for 10 screws (they only fit 8 screws). These are, however, minor worries. I'm holding a backdrop rod with two of them.
1/2" of clearance to allow access to the power switch and lighting control knobs, as well as enough room for the top-mounted power jack. My Neweer 40 watt LED light panels fit perfectly in this bracket!.
Not good. Metal is a soft material that bends easily when subjected to a small amount of pressure.
