WestcottProGrip 2 Handheld Off-Camera Flash Mount

The Westcott ProGrip 2 Handheld Off-Camera Flash Mount provides a portable way to position compatible flashes and compact lighting equipment wherever you need them. Designed for loads up to 6 lb / 2.7 kg, its ergonomic pistol-grip format makes it particularly useful for fast-moving location shoots and situations where setting up a conventional light stand is impractical.

The ProGrip 2 accommodates the Westcott FJ80 II Speedlight and FJ200 Strobe, as well as compatible third-party lights. A universal cold shoe and adjustable 1/4"-20 mounting connection provide flexibility when positioning equipment vertically or horizontally. An integrated 9 mm umbrella mount adds another light-shaping option, while the reinforced nylon construction, non-slip rubber grip and compact dimensions keep the ProGrip 2 practical for portable lighting kits.

Who this is for

The ProGrip 2 is designed for photographers and lighting assistants who need to position off-camera flash quickly while retaining the freedom to move. It is especially useful for location portraits, weddings, events and other fast-paced shoots where a handheld light can be repositioned more easily than a stand-mounted setup.

How it works

Handheld off-camera lighting

The pistol-grip design allows a flash or compact light to be positioned by hand rather than placed on a conventional light stand. This provides greater mobility when working around a subject and makes it easier to adjust the height, direction and position of the light during a shoot.

Flexible light mounting

The ProGrip 2 provides mounting options for compatible flashes and compact lighting equipment, including the Westcott FJ80 II and FJ200. Its mounting arrangement allows equipment to be positioned vertically or horizontally, giving you more flexibility when adapting the light to the subject and modifier being used.

Support for compact modifiers

With a maximum load capacity of 6 lb / 2.7 kg, the ProGrip 2 can support compatible compact lighting setups incorporating modifiers such as Rapid Box Switch softboxes, barndoors, gels or reflectors. This makes it possible to shape and control an off-camera light while retaining the mobility of a handheld setup.

9mm umbrella mount

An integrated umbrella mount accommodates shafts up to 9 mm, with a tension knob used to secure the umbrella in position. This allows compatible collapsible or standard umbrellas to be incorporated into a handheld lighting setup when broader or softer illumination is required.

Secure, comfortable grip

A non-slip rubber grip pad provides additional traction in the hand, helping maintain a secure hold while positioning the light. The reinforced nylon construction is designed to provide durability without making the mount unnecessarily heavy.

Why choose this product?

The ProGrip 2 provides an alternative to a light stand when mobility is the priority. A photographer or assistant can quickly reposition the light as the subject moves, change its angle or alter the lighting distance without repeatedly moving and adjusting a stand.

At just 0.41 lb / 186 g, it also adds relatively little weight to a portable lighting kit while supporting compatible setups weighing up to 6 lb / 2.7 kg.
