Hello! What is the recommended way of attaching PLM to Einsteins when using them outdoor. What is better - to attach using umbrella-style mounting or faceplate speedring mounting? Even small wind applied big force to PLM and to mounting point between PLM and Einsteins. Thank you in advance, Boris |

I use the PLMs outside via the speedring without any problems.... just make sure to sandbag the stand really well (vagabond ii comes in handy here). |

I would suggest the speedring mount. However, this issue is in no way exclusive to PLM but, indeed, applies to any accessory of this size . . . soft box, umbrella, metal reflector, etc. It's simply the "sail effect". With sufficient wind force, sand bags won't help that much . . . the accessory will either be ripped off the light or torn apart from the force. |

What size PLM's are you using outdoors and are they white or silver? |
