Dual Cold Shoe Light Stand Mount - 90° Flash Adapter

Dual cold shoe mount for light stands - gives you two cold shoe positions at 90° from each other, so you can angle your flash however your shot needs it. You can also mount two flashes at once if needed.

Why two shoes?

A single fixed cold shoe limits your flash orientation - for example, a vertically-mounted flash often can't tilt down to fire downward. Having two shoes at 90° means you can pick whichever orientation actually works for your shot, or use both positions simultaneously for two flashes.

Features

• Two cold shoe mounts positioned at 90° from one another (1 vertical + 1 horizontal)

• Use one at a time for more flash angle options, or both together for two flashes at once

• Locking groove - keeps your flash securely positioned even if not fully tightened

• Designed for 1-1/8" studio light stands (standard size)

• Threaded insert compatible with Ruthex M3 inserts

Hardware Required

• 1x M3 threaded heat-set insert

• 1x M3 screw, ~15mm length (for the stand locking screw)

Printing Notes

• No supports needed

• Includes a bridge of ~10mm

• Insert the M3 threaded insert

Recommended Material

PETG strongly recommended - this part is suitable for outdoor use, and PETG offers better heat resistance and UV/weather durability than PLA. PLA can work for occasional indoor use but may deform in heat or direct sun.

Custom Variants

Need a different threaded insert size? I can create a custom variant of this model to fit other heat-set inserts. Just send me the diameter and minimum depth required for your insert, and I'll adapt the design.
