Hi All. Having looked at threads on here and amazon and e bay. I am struggling to sort out what connector I need for an LED light for night shots.

I have a bracket that screws into a bank stick for my phone. Most of the LED lights for night shots come with a hot shoe connector. I am struggling to find a connector that I can attach to a bank stick which will then take a LED type light.

I'm sure others have solved this so any help appreciated. Thanks.

I use this, connects direct to a bankstick with a screw adapter. Phone goes in the holder and light on the top.

I like the cheap generic flash umbrella brackets, they are designed to sit on a 16mm spigot which is the diameter of the tops of my banksticks so they just drop on, and are also angle adjustable so you can have them high and angle them down easily

Thanks. I do have a phone mount and was trying to avoid buying a combi mount. May have to bite the bullet and buy a combined mount.

You'd probably find them even cheaper on ebay.
