The umbrella shaft is tapered getting larger from the tip. Not a lot of length to adjust before it is too big for my holder. Is this normal?

I think the placement is about right. It keeps the speed light or source almost center. Remember point the light toward the back or side of the modifier, not the front. I think its perfectly normal. You could always call the people at Wescott, they are awesome!

I use it with my Einsteins, white lightning strike and Profoto. They all fit fine

I use this with my alien bees and it has a decent amount of adjustment before it can no longer adjust.

Just a foot or so from the top of the pole is a metal cylinder (different color than the pole) Get assertive and press on that and the umbrella will tilt.Let me know if you need to ask me something else.Sara from San Clemente

This base is designed to fit under table brackets with 13 5/8" clearance.....I have one and I love it, and those are not two different height adjustments, thet are two clamps to keep your umbrella from rotating in the wind. hope this helps!

There is a small square cutout at the bottom of the flash to insert an umbrella shaft. there is a small hand screw to tighten the shaft secure. It works just fine. I only used an umbrella once (I normally use a soft box). I hope this helps.

I have two of these large umbrellas. The crank is smooth as silk on one, stiff on the other. Both tilt OK but these are so large that a tilted umbrella seems awkward so I don't tilt.

I have a bar height table, with the hole going through a top, shelving, and then into the stand that you have and the crank hits the top of the bar. So no, this umbrella unfortunately did not work for me.

The hole fits a standard (5 -6 cm) umbrella pole, and would accommodate a somewhat larger diameter because the two black protrusions you see in the picture are rubber "no-slide" pieces that flex. 21 cm looks to be really large - a small tree - an definitely would not come close?

There is a shaft in the center the umbrella pole fits down into. After inserting the umbrella you turn a knob on the side that tightens a screw against the umbrella pole which helps keep the umbrella from moving.

Ellen, I just took out the umbrella pole, and it measures an inch and three quarters. ( 1 3/4 in.) The hole looks larger untill the pole is removed on my table and then you will see the casting is a little smaller in the center of the hole. It's a great patio set, showing no visible wear in over a year in southern Calif. ( not much rain this year either.) See my review under the name phillip.

Mine has no handle, and the bottom is smooth. They might have updated the product, but if not, the image is not accurate. Also, in case it matters: this will not fit in a standard deck umbrella stand, as it is too narrow. I found that out after buying it. =(

It has a pointed end. Because the umbrella is very light weight, you will need a anchor of some kind to keep it from blowing away.

We have a standard umbrella and it fits in the table. The hole is just slightly larger.

It might be too short... Make sure to look at the pole height in the specs. Otherwise it's a great, sturdy umbrella.

The base on my offset umbrella has two cross pieces attached to a pole into which the umbrella pole slips. The cross pieces fit into grooves molded into the bottom of the base and the base pole protrudes through the hole in the base. The base pole should be no more than 2.5 inches or so in diameter, otherwise it's a tight fit. If that's the case, it should work. Be sure to fill with water only after you've put your umbrella where you want it to stay. This base works so well because it gets seriously heavy.

the metal part on the bottom witch the base sits on comes with the offset umbrella. pole diameter 2 1/4" ,2 1/2" might fit because the base is plastic and each base might be a little differnt. i hope this help you.

The part of the bar you see in the picture coming off the pole has like a plastic clamp that you can open...move the umbrella to its desired position side to side and then clamp it secure.

I positioned my two umbrella mounts on the outside of my railings to give more space within the patio area. It depends on the pole width of your umbrellas and width of your railing so your distance may differ from mine a bit. The mount is adjustable. With my umbrellas mounted the distance from my railing is 5.5"
