Umbrella Holder Neewer 480 LED Panel Light

thingiverse

I had an small shoot through umbrella laying around and wanted to use it with the Neewer 480 I use on my desk as a keylight for video conferencing. The umbrella makes a huge difference in light quality. It will cut down the amount of light so I remove the plastic diffusion panel on the light but this light is so powerful anyway it doesn't matter. My eyes don't hurt anymore when I have it on when I use the umbrella. This is a simple umbrella holder for the Neewer 480 Bi-Color LED. I have the older ones with the knobs, not the digital display but I think the screw spacing is the same for the newer ones and possibly the 660 as well but I don't have either of those to test. After printing, remove the 2 screws that hold the bottom bracket which goes to the light stand and place this on top and use the 2 screws to attach everything. I would recommend getting slightly longer screws to get more screw into the bracket but my setup is just being used on my desk if I need a nice key light for video conferencing. This can be made more robust in general but it works for my needs. I use a couple of binder clips on the umbrella shaft to keep it from sliding around when in use so I wouldn't have to spend time on a set screw. It accommodates an umbrella with up to a 9mm diameter shaft.
