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 ash 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 ash 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 tting.
The Standard model features a oating 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 ash.
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, oodlights, umbrellas, and portable ash 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 ash 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 lled with sand, small rocks,
or anything heavy, and emptied at the
end of the shoot. They come in a variety
of sizes and capacities.

Setting Up Your Umbrella-Mount Bracket
Page 8 Page 5
The Standard and Deluxe Umbrella-Mount brackets are very similar, but we’ll show how
to set up both models in this guide. Begin by loosening the locking knob. Remove the
brass mounting stud adapter. Even if you don’t need this stud adapter for your current
setup, don’t lose it. You may need it in the future.
1
If your light stand has a standard 5/8˝ stud on top, mount your bracket on the stud and
tighten the locking knob.
2
To mount a small light xture, unscrew and remove the cold shoe. Mount the light using
the exposed 1/4˝ screw. Or turn this tting around for the 3/8˝ screw. If you need a 5/8˝
stud tting, connect the two brass tting adapters. This gives you a standard 5/8˝ stud
tting that most lights use.
7
8
The umbrella socket slopes upwards slightly to give your ash better beam spread into
your umbrella. Insert the umbrella shaft into the high end of the umbrella socket and
tighten the thumbscrew. Don’t over-tighten, to avoid pinching the umbrella shaft.
Umbrellas larger than 45˝ are not recommended for use with these brackets.

Page 6 Page 7
The cold-shoe mount on the Standard Umbrella-Mount Bracket will t any model of ash
with a standard shoe (except Nikon®SB-900 ashes). The Deluxe Umbrella-Mount Bracket
features an adjustable cold shoe that will t any portable ash. Loosen the tension screw to
expand the cold shoe. Mount your ash and retighten the tension screw.
5
Your Umbrella-Mount Bracket can also be used to mount a small lighting xture. Because
of its ability to tilt and swivel, the bracket will give you more options for aiming your light
than by using the light stand alone. Plus, you can mount an umbrella with lights that don’t
feature an umbrella mount.
6
Some light stands have a threaded screw on top. If the stud is 5/8˝ in diameter below the
threads, you may wish to mount your bracket directly to this stud. If the screw is 3/8˝ or
1/4,˝ use the removable brass mounting stud adapter. Screw the brass adapter onto the
threads of your light stand and mount the umbrella bracket as shown in step 2.

4
Your Impact Umbrella-Mount bracket can also be mounted in a horizontal position. The
horizontal taps (mounting holes) are also useful for mounting the bracket onto boom
arms.
