So, you have a speedlite and you’re ready to take it off the camera to create more professional, three-dimensional images. But how do you connect it to a light stand? And how do you add an umbrella to soften the light? The Godox E-Type bracket is the simple, robust, and indispensable answer to these fundamental questions. It is the foundational piece of hardware that every photographer needs to begin their lighting journey.

This bracket is engineered for one purpose: to provide a secure and reliable link between your flash, your modifier, and your stand. The top features a standard cold shoe with a locking screw to hold your speedlite firmly in place. Below that, a dedicated socket allows you to insert the shaft of any standard photographic umbrella, instantly turning your harsh flash into a large, soft light source.

The entire assembly mounts securely onto any standard light stand. Most importantly, a strong, toothed locking joint allows you to tilt the entire head up and down, giving you the crucial ability to aim your light exactly where you need it. Made from durable cast metal, the E-Type bracket is built to withstand the rigors of regular use, providing a far more secure and long-lasting solution than cheaper, plastic alternatives.

Versatile Mounting: Securely holds any standard hotshoe speedlite (like those from Godox, Canon, Nikon, etc.) on a light stand.
Built-in Umbrella Holder: Features an integrated socket with a locking screw to hold any standard photographic umbrella, allowing for easy light modification.
Adjustable Tilting Head: A reliable, locking swivel joint allows you to tilt the flash and umbrella up or down for precise light placement.
Durable Metal Construction: Built from solid cast aluminum for superior strength, stability, and longevity compared to flimsy plastic brackets.
Standard Light Stand Mount: The base fits securely onto any standard 5/8″ light stand spigot.
The Essential Connector: The fundamental piece of hardware required to begin your journey into creative off-camera flash photography.
